Naples, Florida is one of the easiest golf trips to plan in the country — warm winters, dozens of courses within a short drive of each other, and a beach town to fall back on when you're not playing. With over 50 courses in the area, the hard part isn't finding a place to play, it's narrowing it down. Here's a starting point.
Where to play
Tiburon Golf Club is the name most golf travelers already know if they've looked into Naples at all — a polished, resort-caliber course that's a good anchor for a trip built around one marquee round plus a few more relaxed ones.
Cypress Woods Golf and Country Club is a solid pick if you want a full, well-maintained course without the private-club runaround — semi-private clubs like this one are often more visitor-friendly about tee times than a straight country club.
Quality Inn and Suites Golf Resort keeps things simple: golf and lodging in one stop, and a good option if you'd rather spend your budget on more rounds than a fancier room.
Countryside Golf Club rounds things out as a straightforward, no-drama option for a day you just want to play without planning around it.
A lot of the other courses on our Naples list are private country clubs — great if you've got a member taking you as a guest, but not something to build a trip around. Always call ahead and confirm public tee times before you lock in a round, since access policies change and vary a lot from club to club.
Where to stay
Naples courses are spread across the city rather than clustered in one resort corridor, so it's worth picking a hotel close to whichever course is anchoring your trip rather than a single "golf district." Browse hotels near Tiburon Golf Club to find something within a short drive of where you'll actually be playing.
When to go
Peak season runs November through April — best weather, busiest tee sheets, highest prices. If you can be flexible, shoulder-season trips in late spring or fall get you the same courses with easier bookings and better rates. However you time it, a golf trip to Naples, Florida is easy to build around a handful of solid rounds and a comfortable place to sleep.
