The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburon

Very nice course. Greens were fast but overall true. Nice layout and there was a person selling refreshments on the course which was great as it was a hot day. Probably a bit pricey for this time of the year but we enjoyed the course.

I’m a quality over quantity type of guy.. you can’t really play a public course in the Naples area that is worth playing for more than $20 it’s a sad sad public golf scene. (Old Corkscrew Golf Club as the ONLY exception) if you don’t have a private club membership, you will find yourself playing courses where conditions are almost embarrassing and being price gouged for it. If you’re a golfer, and want a real GOLF experience at a public venue, Tiburón is unmatched. Both courses have impeccable greens (the black course noticeably faster, gold course was a bit sandy) perfect fairways (black is a little tighter can’t just grip and rip) and all surroundings including bunkers are perfectly manicured.

This is the place to golf in Naples

The staff at any course can make or break your experience. Here the staff made mine. Friendly and accommodating they made the experience better. The course is asimple but challenging experience - not every hole is a driving hole, and precision matters. Course management is rewarded not just long driving. Great day.

Course (Black) was in excellent shape. Greens were in great shape and consistent through all 18. Unique layout. If you can’t enjoy this course, then you must be a tour player.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. The clubhouse is very large. Driving range is nice. They have a dedicated chipping/sand area. They also have a couple putting greens. I played the Black/White hybrid tees. I'm a 9 handicap and the Black/White plays 6400 yards. It was actually too short. I had to keep my driver in the bag on 4 of the par 4s on the back. I was rewarded for playing hybrid off the tee. I've never played a course with the sandy cart path/trail along the course on every hole. I had to play off of it a few times and it plays much like fairway. No real rough in site. Being from Chicago, it's taking me a while to get used to the Florida greens. The ball just stops on a dime out here. I"m used to a bit of a roll out. My round took 3:15 on a weekday 11AM tee off. Two twosomes in front of me kept this from being an even faster round. I love this course!

Excellent course with a great staff. Course was pristine and well laid out. One of the best courses in Naples!

Not a very good layout for the price / actually a very boring course

There are so many better layouts and values in the Naples area

It’s a tight course to say the least, first time playing i had 2 balls that landed in fairway and energy up in water. Really cool layout with trails and always keto you exciting. The par 3s are w bit vanilla for what was expecting. Greens were unreceptive long irons won’t hold you have to land in front of greens, unless you have 8-or shorter in the ball will not hold. Didn’t use the ball mark repair took I got 1 time today

From my first impressions. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Course is in good shape,. Sand traps excellent, fairways all so excellent, greens would be the only thing I would give a minus too. Hard and couldn’t get any in coming shots to stop. Pitch and run Shots were hard to judge. Make sure you left putts on the bottom side of the hole.

Nice track and in good condition but way overpriced.

It is worth the price to play the Black Course once. Great condition, fair layout.

Troon knows golf and this is one of the flagship venues for a reason

The Gold Course at Tiburon provided a fantastic day. The layout is very pleasing to the eye and the holes are fun to play. Plenty of tees to choose from for every skill level and fairly generous fairways to invite you to use your driver. The greens were fast and large with a lot of undulations making for some exciting putts. I’ve played both black and gold and 3 out of every 4 rounds I’d choose to play it over the black. It’s just prettier and I liked the green complexes better. We had lunch at Tiburon after and it too was very good. Sat outside and enjoyed the view and the weather. Only downside is it is not cheap. At $279 a round in peak season it’s easily the most expensive course in Naples.

If you want to play Tiburón, play the Black Course. The Gold does not offer enough to justify it’s price. Be aware that booking a Tee Time before 10:00 am will result in getting a fore caddy - whether you want one or not. Mine paid more attention to the other players, so I know I did not get any value from it. They do it for pace of play, but we played faster without one the day before with a 10:00 am Tee time. It’s still a good experience, just not worth the price. Enjoy the 19th Hole and staff - they’re great.

I’ve been waiting to play this course for a year. The Black course has no rough to speak of, but you have to keep it on the fairways to have any chance for a good round. The course is in great condition and the greens were perfect. Nonetheless, it did not live up to my expectation and from a value-for-the-money point of view, I won’t be back. By the way, don’t bother with the Gold course. It lacks the character of the Black. The 19th hole was great for drinks and lunch. The golf shop staff was superb.

Played for the 1st time here along with a partner. We both thoroughly enjoyed the course & our round.

Course is meticulously maintained with a wonderful layout. Very picturesque.

We played as a threesome in under 4 hours.

Expensive round but didn’t disappoint.
