Audubon Country Club

What Audubon Country Club does

Audubon Country Club is a privately held, member-owned residential golf community founded in 1970 and located at 625 Audubon Blvd. in Naples, Florida, on a 755-acre gated site west of US 41. The club serves affluent individuals and families in Southwest Florida through three membership tiers — Resident Golf, Non-Resident Golf, and Social — with full golf membership capped at 340 to preserve exclusivity. The community comprises 401 residential doors across 14 architecturally unified neighborhoods, interspersed with 28 lakes and more than 50% preserve acreage, and is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary under Audubon International.

The core product portfolio centers on an 18-hole Joe Lee-designed championship golf course, a 35,000-square-foot clubhouse (currently undergoing a multi-phase renovation from May 2025 through late 2027 with a grand opening planned for early 2028), seven Har-Tru tennis courts plus two pickleball courts, a $7M Lifestyle Center housing a state-of-the-art fitness facility (unveiled 2020), and three dining venues (Grill Room, Main Dining Room, and Courtside Café). The club operates on the Troon Privé management platform under Troon, the world's largest golf management company, which gives members reciprocal access to 270+ clubs across 36 states and 32 countries.

Revenue is generated through a recurring membership model combining one-time initiation fees with annual dues, supplemented by food and beverage, golf pro shop retail, racquet sports programming, and private events. Marketing is conducted through the club website, Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter), a monthly email newsletter, and earned media in Golf Inc., Golf Wire, Club + Resort Business, and The Morning Read. The club maintains a small operating team of 43 employees and has accumulated multiple industry recognitions, including Association of Golf Merchandisers Platinum Awards (2017, 2020), Troon General Manager of the Year (2019), and Golf Inc. Merchandiser of the Year (2019).
