The course itself occupies about half of the land. The remaining land surrounds the Club and has been deeded to The Conservancy of Naples to forever maintain its undisturbed natural state. There is not, nor will there ever be anything but golf on the Club's property - no tennis, no swimming, no residential development. Elevations of tees and greens are varied, yet never severe. Fairways contain strategic yet unassuming mounding with changes of elevation and slope.
Fairways vary in width, with the longer holes having wider landing areas.
Approach shots allow for a running shot in many cases. Trees guard the entrance to several greens. Sand bunkering is strategic, with relatively few bunkers. Lakes are positioned for both playing and aesthetic purposes. An Old Settler's property boundary stone wall winds through the golf course, adding a sense of maturity and distinction to the routing.
