Get every Esplanade Golf & Country Club sale from the last 12 months →At Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples, golf membership conveys with the deed on most homes — no initiation fee, no waitlist, no separate club to join — and of the three Taylor Morrison “Esplanade” communities in Collier County, this is the only one with golf. Esplanade Golf & Country Club of Naples sits on Immokalee Road in North Naples (34119), about three miles east of I-75 — a gated, built-out community of 1,184 homes where an 18-hole golf membership is deeded to 800 of the homes. Esplanade by the Islands (US-41 East) and Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes (off Collier Blvd) share the brand DNA — Bahama Bars, lifestyle teams, resort pools — but neither has a golf course.
Structurally, this is the anti-Quarry: a single association — Esplanade Golf and Country Club of Naples, Inc. — is simultaneously the master HOA and the country club. One budget covers the gates, landscaping, golf, restaurants, and spa, there is no separate club to join, and no initiation fee exists anywhere in the structure. Taylor Morrison built the community out by 2021 (Stock Development added 25 estate homes on a private cul-de-sac), it is not age-restricted, and roughly 1,800 acres of wetlands, preserves, and lakes wrap the neighborhoods.
Day to day, the community runs on its culinary and social engine — the Culinary Center with the Barrel House Bistro, a “Starbucks-style” café, wine lockers, the poolside Bahama Bar, the Koquina Sand Spa, and a full-time lifestyle team. The deep dives live on the sub-pages: the 2026 fee stack, how bundled golf works here, and how I market Esplanade homes.
The market’s own words tell the story: agents sell this community as “a lifestyle that feels like a permanent vacation,” anchored by “the beloved Bahama Bar” — the poolside bar-and-restaurant that plays the same celebrity-amenity role here that the tiki bar plays at The Quarry (MLS listing descriptions, 2025–2026). Food is the community’s identity: the Culinary Center houses the Barrel House Bistro and Tap Room, The Café & Market (“a Starbucks-style café”), and a wine-tasting room with private wine lockers — “three delectable restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining,” as listings put it.
Beyond dining: a resort pool with cabanas, the full-service Koquina Sand Spa & Salon, a fitness center and movement studio, a wellness center, 8 tennis and 6 pickleball courts, bocce, miles of walking and biking trails, and dog parks including a “Small Dog Bark Park” (court counts per recent MLS structured fields). A full-time lifestyle team runs the calendar, and club rules require member groups to be free to join — an unusually egalitarian clubs policy.
The freshness hook: per many 2025–26 listings, Esplanade is in the middle of an amenity enhancement project — a “fully renovated and expanded poolside Bahama Bar,” a new outdoor bar at the Barrel House, an expanded golf practice range, and four indoor pickleball courts. Scope, budget, and completion dates are not yet published by the club, so treat the details as agent-reported until confirmed — but “Esplanade is doing some big improvements to amenities” is the market’s consistent refrain.
Esplanade Golf and Country Club is an established resale-only market — Taylor Morrison finished the build-out in 2021, so inventory is set by owners rather than a builder, and a single “Esplanade home” can mean anything from a garden condo to a golf-deeded estate. Treat every figure here as a directional snapshot as of 2026 · verify against current listings.
In mid-2026, third-party aggregators put active asking prices across roughly $425K (condo) to about $3.8M (estate), with a median asking near $1.2M and list pricing around $500/sq ft; the trailing-12-month sold median has run closer to $1.5M. Golf-deeded homes and premium golf, lake, or preserve lots command the top of the range, while social-membership condos anchor the bottom — so a headline average tells you little. I pull the exact closed comps for the specific product type and membership you’re targeting before we price or offer.
Dues typically cover:Culinary Center, Bahama Bar, spa, resort pools, tennis & pickleball; bundled golf on ~800 homes
Approximate, as of June 2026; varies by home type and sub-association — a comparison aid, not a quote. Excludes property tax, insurance, and utilities. Always verify exact numbers per home.
| Check this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Golf-deeded vs. social home | Only about 800 of the 1,184 homes carry deeded golf; the rest hold club-and-sports (social) privileges. The MLS “Golf Membership Type” field tells you which — and it changes both the annual cost and the resale audience. Never assume a home includes golf. |
| The one-time contribution is unsettled | Most 2025–26 listings show a $15,000 transfer/capital contribution while the resale packet on file said $7,500, and the 2026 budget notes a declaration change. Confirm the exact figure by estoppel before you write an offer, not from the listing sheet. |
| Special assessment on current listings | Many 2025–26 listings carry a $425–$452/quarter special assessment with no published purpose or end date. Ask management for the resolution, the balance, and when it burns off. |
| CDD balance varies by phase | The Flow Way CDD adds roughly $1,845–$6,270/yr depending on phase and lot, and some homes have already retired their bond. Two near-identical homes can carry very different tax bills — check the specific parcel. |
| The full dues stack | Beyond base dues, budget the $750/yr food-and-beverage minimum plus golf or sub-association fees. Ask for the full membership and fee report so nothing surprises you at closing. |

Esplanade sits on the north side of Immokalee Road (CR-846) in North Naples, roughly three miles east of I-75, between Olde Cypress and The Quarry. Founders Square, Publix, and everyday shopping are minutes away, with Mercato, the US-41 dining scene, and Gulf beaches a longer westbound drive. Immokalee Road is a busy commuter artery — build in extra time during season (roughly November–April).
Approximate, off-peak driving times — they vary with traffic and season.
Zoned (per recent listings) to Collier County Public Schools: Laurel Oak Elementary, Oakridge Middle, and Gulf Coast High. North Naples attendance boundaries shifted when Aubrey Rogers High opened in 2023, so confirm the current zoning for a specific address with the district.
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 FY2026 adopted budget, operations run $1,845 per home, flat, and bond debt ranges from $0 to about $4,425 depending on phase and lot — so total CDD runs about $1,845–$6,270 a year on the Collier County tax bill. Some homes have retired their bond debt entirely, and the Cappello/Scarlotti estate streets sit outside the CDD altogether. I can pull the exact line for any address.
Plan on a five-figure transfer/capital contribution, but confirm it by estoppel rather than trusting any published number: nearly every 2025–26 MLS listing shows $15,000, while the resale packet on file says $7,500, and the association’s 2026 budget notes a “declaration change” to the capital contribution — evidence the figure moved. The estoppel certificate from the association’s accounting office states the exact current amount 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.
Handy contacts for residents and buyers — bookmark this page so they’re here when you need them. Details can change; confirm anything time-sensitive directly.
Your tee time is on the community’s own 18-hole Chris Wilczynski course — and if yours is one of the 800 golf-deeded homes, the membership came with the deed: no initiation, no waitlist. Lunch is the poolside Bahama Bar, the afternoon is the Koquina Sand Spa or a pickleball court, dinner is the Barrel House Bistro at the Culinary Center — and the golf line on a deeded home is the $4,664/yr assessment, known before you bought. Could you see yourself here?
I’ll set up a saved search, send the homes that actually fit, and walk you through fees, flood, and resale before you commit. Explain everything, sell nothing.
