Finally, Greens Fees have come back to Earth

This is a very nice course, challenging for all golfers and in excellent condition.

The in season rates in SW Florida were way over the top. Lots of greedy owners out there

Well worth the journey

It is a fair distance from anywhere but we’ll worth travelling as excellent practice facilities and course layout and conditions very good. It was a blustery day but a very enjoyable experience. Good choice of tees. Fairways in excellent condition. Greens excellent and rolled well. Staff welcome was friendly and helpful.

Perfect golf day

Finally played The National at Ave Maria and glad we did. Other courses in Naples area approaching or exceeding $200. The National is very reasonable, well maintained and overall great experience. Only downside is the travel distance from East Naples. Still worth the ride and I would do it again.

Challenging Course!

On many of the holes you really have to employ course management, especially if you are not completely familiar with the course layout and hazards.

Excellent

Course was in excellent condition tee to green. Fun, relatively open layout that’s offers multiple tee boxes which makes it easy to find a suitable length to fit your game. Pretty open which means windy in Florida. Difficult without being back breaking. Will definitely return.
