The Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area of Naples-Marco Island in Collier County is a few miles north of Fort Myers in southwest Florida. Naples Florida, one of the wealthiest cities in the country, has a reputation for being the golfing capital of the world, sporting a whopping 80 golf courses of championship quality.
Barring the occasional hurricane, the area is suitable for golfing all year round, although the quietest months are November and December, before the winter peak season begins. Whatever your budget, you can find prices to suit. Green fees can be on the high side, although using an online booking system can also save you money. During the off season, you can still find a few dozen public courses and the occasional private course still open for serious golfers.
Near to Eagle Lakes Community Park and adjacent to Rookery Bay National Estuarine Reserve lies a particularly challenging course. It bears a lot of water features and some immaculately crafted bunkers. Expect to run through a lot of golf balls. A particularly challenging course lies north of the city's botanical garden. This course has been sculpted with undulating greens, tight fairways and stacked, sod wall bunkers. Also nearby are vineyards and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park.
For serious scenery junkies who do not like their golfing view tainted by homes and other indicators of civilization, there are courses with certification by the Audubon International Gold Certified Signature Sanctuary. At these courses, you will find natural wetlands, thick vegetation and wildlife, including the odd spotting of a snowy white heron.
For those who want to race straight to the links immediately after disembarking from the plane, there happens to be a course near Southwest Florida International Airport. Not far away is the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Come here to see ghost orchids in the summer. Other attractions in town include an art museum, a zoo and a teddy bear museum, with more than two thousand "residents."
The Gulf Coast beach in Naples is regarded as one of the best in the United States. It extends for ten miles between Seagate Drive and Gordon Pass. It has a fishing pier that extends 1,000 feet into the gulf and is perfect for both angling and viewing the sunset. Other amenities include restrooms with outdoor showers, shops selling snacks and bait and parking meters.
If you really want to get close to nature, rent a canoe for a paddle down the Blackwater River located in Collier-Seminole State Park. Row, row, row your boat down one of the largest mangrove swamps in the world. The park is also the home of a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark in the form of the Bay City Walking Dredge. Built in 1924, the dredge was used to build part of US 41.
The Neopolitan climate is regarded as tropical savannah, or wet and dry. This means it experiences warm, short winters and hot, humid summers punctuated by thunderstorms. In addition to RSW, the area is serviced by Naples Municipal Airport (APF).
