ABOUT EAGLE CREEK GOLF & COUNTRY CLUBEagle Creek Golf & Country Club, situated in the scenic Naples, Florida, is a premier destination offering an exceptional blend of luxury, recreation, and community. Members enjoy an active golf lifestyle that embraces the camaraderie and traditions of the game on the Larry Packard-designed course. With just 360 golfing members, Eagle Creek is one of the few courses in Naples you can walk at any time. Magnificently reimagined by notable, local architect Gordon Lewis in 2021, Eagle Creek is certainly a hidden gem in Southwest Florida.
Beyond golf, Eagle Creek Golf & Country Club boasts a comprehensive range of amenities designed to cater to diverse interests. The Crystal Lake Tennis & Sports Complex showcases modern-day amenities, including a Jr. Olympic-sized swimming pool, tennis courts, bocce courts, and a state-of-the-art fitness center, equipped with the latest exercise machines and offering a variety of fitness classes. Tennis enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy at Eagle Creek, which offers a well-maintained tennis facility with 7 newly renovated, Har-Tru tennis courts. The Club supports a vibrant tennis community with programs and events catering to both competitive players and recreational enthusiasts, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition.
The Jr. Olympic-sized pool & hot tub, modern gym, and fitness classes are just steps away from the open-air Crystal Lake Caf serving Fresh-Florida fare. The bar offers six tap beers and six large, flat-screen TVs for relaxation and leisure. Additionally, Eagle Creek Golf & Country Club offers three state-of-the-art Platinum Paspalum TE Grass bocce-ball courts. During the winter months, the bocce program goes into full swing with the Eagle Creek Bocce League, featuring more than 100 participants.
The Club's social and dining experiences are equally impressive and will only be elevated with the opening of the newly renovated clubhouse, happening in October. The redefined elegance of the Clubhouse offers dining venues featuring a range of options from casual meals to fine dining, all set against the backdrop of stunning golf course views. Additionally, the Club's social calendar is rich with events, activities, and gatherings that promote community spirit and member interaction.
Eagle Creek is proud to have cultivated a long-standing history of camaraderie and tradition. Beginning in May of 1984, the original developer purchased Eagle Creek Country Club. In 1985, the clubhouse opened. Eleven years later in 1996, the membership purchased the club from the developer and created the private, member-owned, equity club that exists today. Located on over 300 acres, members enjoy a close-up view of nature that is not duplicated in today's golf course communities. Serene, un-crowded, and hidden away between the elegant shops of Naples and the beaches of Marco Island lies the unique, village setting that members are happy to call home.
