Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples

Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples is a private, gated, bundled-golf community built by Taylor Morrison roughly 3 miles east of I-75 on Immokalee Road in North Naples, Collier County, confirmed sold out for both its single-family homes and its coach-home product via Taylor Morrison’s own community pages. It is a genuinely distinct, older, and considerably larger community than Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes, another Taylor Morrison Esplanade community elsewhere in Naples that is already covered separately on this site; the two should never be conflated despite their shared branding and city. A genuine ambiguity surrounds the community’s age-restriction status: Seniorly and other active-adult directories list Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples as 55-plus, but this classification may reflect only certain phases or sections of the development rather than the entire community, a pattern that occurs at other large, multi-phase Esplanade builds that mix age-restricted and non-restricted sections. This should be confirmed directly with an HOA document or Taylor Morrison before being stated as an absolute, community-wide fact rather than assumed based on aggregator listings alone. At full build-out, the community reached over 1,100 single-family homes, coach homes, and condominiums, making it one of the larger Esplanade communities identified anywhere in Florida. Construction began in 2014, and the community is now sold out from the builder, with all current transactions occurring as resales. Given the genuinely wide mix of coach homes and larger single-family estate homes within the same community, pricing spans a substantial range; specific current figures were not precisely captured in this research and should be confirmed directly with a local agent familiar with the current resale market. The community’s amenity package is among the most extensive identified across any Esplanade development researched for this site: an 18-hole bundled golf course comes included with home ownership rather than requiring separate club membership, alongside six Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, and three bocce courts. A dedicated Culinary Center supports cooking classes and demonstrations, while a fitness center, spa, resort-style pool, and a signature "Bahama Bar" poolside dining and social venue round out the indoor and outdoor social infrastructure. A dog park and miles of walking and biking trails further distinguish the community’s outdoor amenity offering. HOA fees run approximately $500 to $600 per month, varying by specific residence type and the services included. A Community Development District fee may apply in some areas of the community, collected via the property tax bill, though the exact amount was not confirmed in this research and should be verified directly before purchasing. For healthcare access, NCH Healthcare System serves the broader North Naples area, likely via its NCH North Naples Hospital campus given the community’s location, though exact distance was not independently confirmed. For air travel, Southwest Florida International Airport is reported at roughly 25 to 30 minutes via I-75, while Naples Municipal Airport also sits within roughly 25 miles, giving residents two reasonably convenient airport options. Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples’ bundled-golf structure, meaning golf access comes included with home ownership rather than requiring a separate mandatory club buy-in, is a genuine differentiator relative to several other Naples-area golf communities that require substantial separate initiation fees, making this community a potentially more cost-effective golf-inclusive option for buyers specifically prioritizing course access without a large upfront membership cost. The community’s substantial scale, at over 1,100 homes, gives Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples a genuinely robust social infrastructure and calendar of clubs and activities that smaller active-adult communities typically cannot match, an advantage for buyers who prioritize a wide range of interest groups and social programming alongside golf access. The mix of coach homes and single-family estate homes within the same community also gives buyers meaningful flexibility to select a housing product that fits their specific budget and maintenance preferences while remaining within the same gated, amenity-rich development. Given the genuine ambiguity around the community’s age-restriction status identified in this research, prospective buyers who specifically require an age-restricted 55-plus environment should confirm this directly with an HOA document or Taylor Morrison before purchasing, rather than assuming the entire community carries a uniform age restriction based solely on aggregator listings. Buyers evaluating this community against Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes or other Naples-area 55-plus alternatives should weigh its substantially larger scale and bundled-golf structure against the smaller community’s more clearly confirmed age-restriction status and its own genuinely comprehensive clubhouse amenities, confirming both communities’ current age-restriction policies and available resale inventory directly before making a final decision. Overall, Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples stands out as one of the most amenity-dense, golf-inclusive Esplanade communities anywhere in Taylor Morrison’s statewide portfolio, appealing to golf-oriented buyers of any age who want deeded course access bundled directly with home ownership rather than a separate mandatory buy-in.
