The big difference

Membership is optional — and that changes the math

The single most important thing to understand about The Vineyards is that the country club is separate from the homeowner associations. It's privately owned by the founding Procacci family, debt-free, and run as a non-equity club. You buy a home in one of the gated enclaves, and you decide — independently — whether to join the club.

About 75% of residents do choose to join. But because the club carries no debt, members face no capital assessments and there are no food & beverage minimums — just a non-refundable initiation fee and annual dues. For buyers comparing Naples golf communities, that's a meaningfully different (and often lower-risk) cost structure than an equity or mandatory-bundled-golf community.

The golf

Two championship 18-hole courses

North Course

Designed by Mark McCumber, opened 1989. Underwent a ~$2M redesign in 2024 (Kipp Schulties Golf Design) adding tees and re-contoured greens.

South Course

Designed by Bill Amick, opened in the early 1990s and a former host of PGA Champions Tour events. Closed January 2023 for a ~$3M renovation — expanded greens and rebuilt bunkers.

Roughly 1,600 members play the two courses, generally on a cart-fee basis. Full Golf members can reserve tee times about a week out; Lifestyle members have more limited access. There are no public green fees except for accompanied guests.

Recently reinvested

A club that keeps spending on itself

The Vineyards has put real money into its amenities in recent years: a multi-million-dollar clubhouse and spa renovation completed in 2021, a ~$3M South Course renovation beginning in 2023, and a ~$2M North Course redesign in 2024. For a family-owned, debt-free club, that ongoing reinvestment is part of what keeps both the lifestyle and the home values competitive.
