The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburon

This course is one of Florida's best. I now the reason why there are three tour events here (PGA, PGA Champions, and LPGA), because this place is absolutely perfect. All the holes are pretty and unique. The course is challenging but fair. Shot placement is rewarded here. I was lucky to have been paired with a club member who was really knowledgeable of the course, and pretty much told me where to place each shot, and he was spot on. It was like having a pro caddy help me unfold the beautiful wrapping of this gift of a course. If my ball striking was a bit better, I would have had one of the most memorable rounds of my life. Some unique things about the course are the bunkers, especially around the greens, which have wall features like the kind you see in Ireland or Scotland. My word of advice, stay away from those bunkers. The greens rolled pretty true, not real fast. The greens were not overly difficult, but not easy either, I think I only one putted a handful of times. The practice facilities were top tier, the clubhouse was that of super high end country clubs. Last but not least, the course is part of the Ritz Carlton resort, which is absolutely awesome for a weekend getaway with the family. 10 out of 10.

Apart from the heat & Humidity this time of year - as a overseas tourist found the whole experience faultless - 9.40an tee time with 2 other guys - was fun 4 - if I was to be overly critical - greens had no pace due to recent aeration

I played this course once before many moons ago.
The course plays tougher than it is rated. Enjoy every minute of it. Yes play if you can.

I made reservation through GOLFNOW on Wednesday, May 31 to play Monday, June 5. I, and rest of foursome, have SWFLPGA app. According to app, the cost to play at Tiburon Black would be $79. This price applies Monday thru Thursday starting in June. When I arrived at course on June 5 I was informed that because I had booked more than three days prior, the cost would be $119, not $79. I was told that I should have called Tiburon pro shop and NOT use GOLFNOW to book course. Since I have been using GOLFNOW once or twice a week I was disappointed. Luckily, all of us were able to pay the additional amount. But, being able to play at reduced rates is one of reasons we endure heat in Naples during summer to play at premium golf courses. Getting surprised as we were is not something I prefer.

Enjoyed my round at the Gold Course. It was fun, but pretty hard. Lots of break on the greens. It was in nice shape, and played pretty fast. I always get excited to play a course the pros do (LPGA).

Very nice course. It was in great shape. Pace of play was great too, finished in three hours.

Great conditions. Very well kept. Pace of play was good. Would highly recommend if price isn’t a deterrent.

I find this course to be incredibly comfortable to play, and I think it starts with the staff. If you are going to pay for Ritz service, you should get Ritz service and I think you do. The Gold course is challenging for me, but has plenty of forgiveness if you have just a bit of control of the ball. I'm a short hitter and the White Tees were perfect for me at 6200. The course was immaculate this day, and only the pace of play would be a criticism. A few of the holes are scenic, but lots of real estate on the course. Sydney's is not to be missed after.

Unfortunately, Tiburon Black is a great golf course but tourists want to get their money’s worth. Three practice swings to produce a hard right shank, over and over. Missed putts and they do over. Searched for every lost ball. When we waved down the Guest Assistant, he shrugged it off and said they are enjoying their round.

Will not play again, especially given the premium price which did not support premium play.

Had a great time with my son on this course - challenging and fair - 16 handicap and 7 handicap.
Greens a tiny bit slow, but true and a course the staff should be proud of.
Pricey - yes but it’s Tiburon and you need to cross this off your list

They close at 7pm but we were only informed while teeing up at 4.20pm (and of course after paying), hence we tried to play fast to finish up. But, we had a flight of 6 (!) people playing in front of us which made it impossible to play 18 holes. After 14 holes, we then had to stop which is really a pity to pay more than 100$ for that. We’ve been to other clubs where you pay 1/3 of the price, staff may more friendlier and do inform you in advance of the conditions.

The course in itself is nice, not too difficult but in good conditions.
