In a significant move within the golfing community, Concert Golf Partners has acquired the prestigious Golf Club of the Everglades from PulteGroup. This acquisition marks a new chapter for Naples, Florida’s 261-acre Rees Jones-designed course. As the 35th private club to join Concert Golf Partners’ portfolio, the Golf Club of the Everglades will benefit from Concert’s commitment to preserving its historical exclusivity and enhancing the member experience.
A Legacy of Excellence
The Golf Club of the Everglades, known for its 7,352-yard, par 72 open links-style course, has long been a hidden gem in the Naples community. Designed by the legendary Rees Jones and opened in 2000, the course features a members-only clubhouse, restaurant, and expansive practice facilities. Unlike many golf courses, the club does not have tee times, allowing members to play at their leisure.
