Colonial Country Club

Colonial Country Club was developed by Pulte Homes as its first master-planned community in Southwest Florida, with the golf course opening its fairways in early 2003 following a 2001 groundbreaking on previously undeveloped land. The community’s 1,699 homes are split structurally between "Golf Village" (711 homes carrying a deeded, mandatory Golf Membership) and "Lakes Village" (988 homes carrying a deeded, mandatory Social Membership) — every homeowner pays into club dues regardless of amenity use, since membership cannot be declined. The community’s Colonial Country Club Community Development District issued a 30-year infrastructure bond in 2003 that will not retire until 2033, adding a long-term, non-negotiable property-tax-bill assessment on top of HOA and club dues. The single 18-hole golf course, designed by Gordon Lewis, underwent a full, member-approved renovation beginning in April 2025 — re-grassing fairways with Bimini Bermuda, installing 21 new USGA-spec TifEagle Bermudagrass greens, and replacing the entire irrigation system — closing the course for roughly 9 months before its January 2026 reopening; a separate multi-million-dollar renovation of the golf shop, cart barn, pool area, and community center followed in 2026. This pattern of large, recurring capital projects (following an earlier roughly $6.5 million clubhouse renovation around 2020-2021) suggests buyers should expect continued capital investment and potential dues pressure over time. No source in this research specifically confirmed or ruled out Hurricane Ian, Helene, or Milton damage at Colonial Country Club itself; the community’s inland location east of I-75 plausibly spared it the worst coastal storm-surge impact documented elsewhere in Lee County, but this is an inference rather than a confirmed fact. Colonial Country Club also carries two separately-reported one-time fee names — a Capital Contribution Fee and an Application Fee, alongside the Transfer Fee — none of which had confirmed dollar amounts in this research, meaning prospective buyers should specifically request the community’s current, itemized closing-cost disclosure rather than relying on a resale listing’s estimate. The club’s golf course is managed under contract by Troon Golf LLC, a national golf-management company, and one source referencing "Troon Rewards" tee-time booking left this research unable to confirm whether any outside/guest play is genuinely permitted beyond members’ own accompanied guests. The community’s dual-village structure (Golf Village and Lakes Village) means a prospective buyer’s membership tier, and therefore annual dues, is effectively determined by which specific neighborhood they purchase into, not by personal choice after closing.

Age Restriction

Colonial Country Club is age-targeted in its marketing toward active adults but carries no legal age restriction — families can and do buy there. It should not be confused with the similarly named, unrelated Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, home of the PGA Tour’s Charles Schwab Challenge.

Housing Types

• Attached villa homes
• Coach and carriage homes
• Condominiums

Pricing

The community is fully built out, with resale-only inventory. Reported pricing (as of a mid-2026 snapshot) showed condos from roughly $178,900-$389,900, single-family and attached villa homes from roughly $400,000-$724,000, and community-wide median and average sale prices of $332,450 and $361,465 respectively — these are point-in-time listing figures that should be re-verified against current MLS data. One reported condo price floor overlapped exactly with a separately-cited single-family price floor, suggesting possible duplication or confusion between housing-type categories in the underlying aggregator data, which buyers should be aware of when comparing listings.

Fees & Assessments

HOA Dues: Colonial Country Club consists of 1,699 total residential units split between "Golf Village" (711 homes, carrying a deeded Golf Membership) and "Lakes Village" (988 homes, carrying a deeded Social Membership). Reported HOA/sub-association dues conflicted sharply across sources, ranging from roughly $1,250 to nearly $12,000 depending on product type, with condo-association fees on the higher end reportedly bundling building maintenance, insurance, utilities, and 24-hour security — this wide, inconsistent range should be treated as directional only and confirmed against actual current association budgets before relying on a specific figure. The community also sits within the broader Colonial Country Club Community Development District boundary, which additionally includes an adjacent 80-unit development called Whispering Palms, bringing the CDD’s total covered units to 1,779 — buyers should clarify whether a specific listing is genuinely part of Colonial Country Club proper or the adjacent, CDD-sharing development.

CDD Assessment: The Colonial Country Club Community Development District issued a 30-year, tax-exempt infrastructure bond in 2003 (refinanced in 2013 for a lower rate), with the bond scheduled to retire in 2033. This assessment appears as a separate line item on the Lee County property tax bill and varies by lot/product type; the adjacent 80-unit Whispering Palms community shares the same CDD, bringing its total unit count to 1,779.

Condo Fees: Condo association fees were reported within the broader $1,250-$12,000 HOA range above but were not independently itemized by building; buyers should request a specific building’s current budget and reserve study.

Club/Golf Fees: Every home purchase at Colonial Country Club carries a mandatory, bundled club membership — Golf Membership (tied to Golf Village homes) reportedly runs about $5,695 per year in dues, while Social Membership (tied to Lakes Village homes) reportedly runs about $2,907 per year; neither tier can be declined by purchasing in the community. The single 18-hole, par-72 course was designed by Gordon Lewis, who returned in 2025 to lead a full course renovation that closed the course for roughly 9 months (April 2025-January 2026) before its reopening.

Capital Contribution / Transfer Fees: A Capital Contribution Fee, Transfer Fee, and Application Fee are all confirmed to exist for resale purchases, but specific dollar amounts could not be independently verified in this research and should be obtained directly from the HOA or a title company before closing.

Getting Around

Healthcare: Lee Memorial Hospital (Lee Health) is reported at roughly 8 miles away, and Gulf Coast Medical Center (a Lee Health Level II trauma center with a 24/7 emergency department and comprehensive stroke center) at roughly 10 miles away; Cape Coral Hospital is also reachable within the broader area. Multiple urgent-care and minute-clinic options (including Coastal Med Urgent Care and a CVS MinuteClinic) were also cited as nearby for non-emergency needs.

Airport: Colonial Country Club sits in the same ZIP code (33913) as Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), suggesting genuine close proximity, though this research found conflicting specific distance figures (ranging from roughly 5 to 13 miles) and could not resolve them to a single number. Gulf Coast Town Center, a major shopping and dining destination, is also in the same ZIP-code cluster, though no precise mile figure was found confirming its exact distance from the community.
