Quail West Foundation

What Quail West Foundation does

Quail West Foundation, Inc. is a private, member-owned golf and country club community operating from a single 100,000+ square-foot clubhouse and two 18-hole Arthur Hills-designed championship courses (The Lakes and The Preserve, originally designed in 1992 and later enhanced by Drew Rogers) at 5950 Burnham Rd. in Naples, Florida. The club serves residents of the surrounding Quail West gated community and offers a full luxury lifestyle stack, including fine and casual dining (Mahogany Room, Cypress Grille, Marketplace), a two-story fitness and wellness center with spa and salon, court sports (tennis, pickleball, bocce), a professional golf shop, and a curated social events calendar.

The business runs on two revenue streams. The primary stream is recurring subscription membership dues billed annually, structured in tiers: a Golf Membership granting year-round unlimited play and full amenity access, a House Membership providing clubhouse access with limited seasonal golf, and a Golf Member in Waiting program that monetizes the waitlist (11 prospects as of May 8, 2026). The second stream is a transaction-fee revenue share from the on-site Quail West Sales Group — an exclusive brokerage embedded in the community, part of John R. Wood/Christie's International Real Estate, which has driven more than $500 million in closed residential sales to date and returns a portion of its commissions to the Club.

Quail West holds Platinum Clubs of America 5 Star Private Club and Distinguished Club Elite designations and is described by its operators as the "pinnacle in luxury community living." Membership is restricted to community residents, and the Sales Group plus an in-house ARB governance process align real estate turnover with club growth. The technology stack is intentionally light: a Clubessential-built website and standard social channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) with no disclosed AI, mobile app, or proprietary software products.
