Cypress Woods

What Cypress Woods does

Cypress Woods Golf & Country Club is a private, bundled golf community in North Naples, Florida, established in 1999 by developer Gordon Lewis as designer of its 18-hole course, which was subsequently redesigned in 2012 to widen fairways and improve playability. The community sits on 110+ acres encompassing five subdivisions with a combined 787 homes (single-family, coach homes, villas, and condominiums), and operates a full amenity stack including the 18-hole course, driving range, short game area, putting green, eight lighted pickleball courts, one tennis court, three artificial-turf bocce courts, a 24-hour fitness center with seasonal classes, a pool complex (resort-style pool, lap pool, hot tub), walking trails, and dining venues (Grille Room, Main Dining Room, and recently expanded Terrace Patio) that also serves as a wedding and event venue for up to 175 guests.

The business model is anchored on a deeded-membership structure: every homeowner in the community is automatically a full golf and social member, replacing the large upfront initiation fees common at equity clubs with annual Board-set club assessment dues due each January, plus a $600 annual food minimum per living unit. Pay-as-you-go golf fees vary by season (member 18-hole rates $26.50–$60 depending on month and category), supplemented by guest fees, transfer-member rates, bag and locker storage ($100–$200 annually), PGA-led lessons and clinics ($40–$175), and TaylorMade retail in the pro shop. Secondary revenue streams include rental and membership transfer fees ($350 application, $500 transfer, $100 background), venue rental for weddings/banquets, and annual non-resident Golf Memberships and Recreation & Social Memberships sold through a dedicated membership coordinator.

Operations are supported by Jonas Club Software powering the website and member portal and by Chelsea for online tee time reservations. The club maintains reciprocal playing agreements with regional golf clubs during off-season months and competes in the Estero Area Inter-Club Pickleball League. Leadership includes General Manager Grace Lennon (LCAM), Director of Finance Carrie Davis, Executive Chef Matthew Wreski (former ClubCorp regional executive chef), Head Golf Professional Chris Phillips (PGA), Golf Course Superintendent Cisco Navas, and a full front-of-house, F&B, accounting, leasing, and recreation staff consistent with the 11–50 employee range. Unaccompanied visits and tours are not permitted, reinforcing the private-membership posture.
