⛳ Golf isn’t just growing—it’s financially healthier, too.

The latest data from the National Golf Foundation paints a very different picture from where the golf industry stood 15–20 years ago.

Nearly three-quarters of public golf facilities now rate their financial health as “good” or “excellent,” while 5% or fewer have reported being in poor or very poor financial condition over the past five years. Private clubs have followed a similar trajectory, with even fewer reporting serious financial distress.

What’s driving the improvement?

🏌️ 4.3 million more on-course golfers over the past five years
📈 Record-setting rounds played in 2021, 2023, 2024 and 2025
💰 Stronger demand for memberships and tee times
🏗️ Continued investment in courses, clubhouses and amenities
⭐ Greater focus on the overall member and customer experience

For those of us in Southwest Florida, this is especially relevant. When you're buying in a golf community, you're not simply choosing a house—you’re choosing a club, membership and lifestyle that can be a major part of your investment and your everyday life.

That’s why understanding the financial health, membership structure, capital plans and long-term direction of a club should be part of the decision.

Golf is in one of its strongest positions in decades—and for buyers considering a golf community, that’s good news.

Great insight from the National Golf Foundation:

📊 Lee County Real Estate: Inventory Falls as Sales Rise

The August numbers tell a much different story than some of the broader headlines about Florida real estate.
🏡 Single-family sales increased 2.8%
📈 Single-family median price rose 2.7% to $380,000
📉 Single-family inventory fell 15.5%
🏢 Condo and townhome sales jumped 10.6%
📉 Condo inventory declined 18.7%
💰 104 properties sold for $1 million or more
And the luxury market had an interesting split.
🌊 50% of the Top 10 sales were waterfront properties
⛳ 50% were in golf communities

The month's highest sale was a $14.9 million new-construction Gulf-front estate on Bonita Beach. On the golf side, a Quail West estate sold for $7.5 million, followed by luxury sales in Mediterra, Bonita Bay, Shadow Wood, The Colony, West Bay Club and Gulf Harbour.

One of the biggest takeaways from this month's report: Lee County is not one real estate market.

A condo in Fort Myers, a waterfront home in Bonita Springs and a luxury home with immediate golf access in Estero can have completely different inventory, demand and negotiating conditions.

For golf buyers, the house is only part of the decision. The membership, fees, waitlists, tee-time access and club lifestyle can be just as important.

⛳ Another Luxury Golf Course Is Moving Forward in Naples

Collier County commissioners have unanimously approved plans for a new upscale 18-hole private golf course on 169 acres in East Naples.

The property, located on Sabal Palm Road near Picayune Strand State Forest, had previously been proposed for a 423-home development. The newly approved plan instead calls for a golf course, driving range, putting greens and practice facilities, with the developer seeking Audubon International Gold certification.

One significant change: plans for 10 luxury cottages were dropped as part of the approval process, and a deed restriction will limit the property to golf course uses. The clubhouse will also be limited to 10,000 square feet.

For golfers, this is another interesting development in a Naples market that already has one of the strongest concentrations of private golf communities in the country.

It will be worth watching how this new club develops, including the course design, membership structure, initiation fees and timeline.

📊 Sarasota Real Estate: Inventory Is Falling as We Head Toward Season

The August numbers tell an interesting story about the Sarasota real estate market—and it’s not necessarily what you might expect from the broader Florida housing headlines.
🏡 Single-family inventory fell 20.8% from last year
⛳ New construction remains active in Sarasota-area golf communities
🌴 Condo and townhome sales increased 13.8%
📉 Condo inventory declined 11.8%
⏱️ Single-family homes that sold went under contract in a median 47 days—31.9% faster than last year
🌊 8 of the 10 highest-priced coastal sales were waterfront properties

At the top of the market, a waterfront estate on Bird Key sold for $10.5 million, while 78 single-family homes sold for $1 million or more.

For golf buyers, new construction is another important part of the story. Lakewood Ranch and Wellen Park continue to generate significant new-home activity, including new construction within golf communities. Comparing those opportunities with resale requires looking beyond the home price to the golf membership, fees, incentives, amenities and overall lifestyle.

The Sarasota market is highly localized. Waterfront homes, private golf communities, new construction and downtown condos can each have very different supply-and-demand dynamics.
