Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples: Homes, Bundled Golf & Living Guide

No — and the mix-up is constant. There are three Taylor Morrison Esplanade communities in the Naples area: Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples (Immokalee Road, 34119 — this page, the only one with golf), Esplanade by the Islands (US-41 East, 34114 — a resort-lifestyle community, still building), and Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes (off Collier Blvd, 34114 — sold out, no golf). All three share Bahama Bars and lifestyle programming; only this one has an 18-hole course.

With most, not all. Golf membership is deeded to 800 of the 1,184 homes; the other 384 carry club-and-sports privileges only. There is no initiation fee and no waitlist — you either buy a golf-deeded home or you don’t. Non-golf residents can still play at guest rates with short-window tee-time booking. The MLS “Golf Membership Type” field on a listing tells you which kind of home you’re looking at.

Per the association’s 2026 approved budget, every home pays a base of $8,138/yr (Club $6,224 + Reserves $1,914 — the $2,035/qtr “Master HOA” line you see on MLS). Golf-deeded homes add a $4,664/yr golf assessment; single-family homes add a landscape assessment of $2,169–$3,218 by lot width; condos and coach homes add a sub-association fee of roughly $1,228–$1,535/qtr instead. Every home also owes a $750/yr food-and-beverage minimum. See the full fee-stack breakdown on our HOA fees page.

Yes — the Flow Way Community Development District. Per its FY2027 adopted budget (figures unchanged from FY2026), operations run $1,845 per home, flat, on all 1,184 homes, and bond debt runs from about $837 to $4,674 a year depending on bond series, phase and lot — so most homes pay roughly $2,682–$6,519 a year on the Collier County tax bill. The district counts 1,150 homes as carrying bond debt; the 34 homes it lists as the Hatcher parcel pay operations only. One caution: the budget’s one-page comparison prints the Phase 7–8 homes with no debt, while its own Series 2019 schedule assesses them $1,383–$4,674 a year, so go by the parcel’s tax bill, not the summary. An owner can also prepay the bond, so a specific home may show less. I can pull the exact line for any address.

A $15,000 capital contribution to the association, paid at closing. The association’s resale application (January 2026) sets that amount for any contract signed on or after February 15, 2026, and says it will be noted on the estoppel. An earlier resale packet said $7,500, which is why some older pages and fee sheets still show the lower number. The estoppel certificate states the exact amounts due for a specific home; I pull it before my buyers write offers.

Neither. It’s an all-ages community (no age restriction), and Taylor Morrison finished the build-out in 2021 — every purchase today is a resale, which means established landscaping, a mature club, and market-driven inventory.

It’s a wide range, because the community spans garden condos to golf-deeded estates. In 2025–26, active asking prices ran from roughly $425K for entry-level condos up to about $3.8M for estate homes, with a median asking near $1.2M and list pricing around $500/sq ft; aggregators put the trailing-12-month sold median closer to $1.5M (as of 2026 · verify against current listings). Golf-deeded homes and premium golf, lake, or preserve lots sit at the top; social-membership condos anchor the bottom. I’ll pull the exact closed comps for the specific product type and membership you’re considering.
