Golf Club Of The Everglades

What Golf Club Of The Everglades does

Golf Club of the Everglades is a private, members-only golf club located at 8835 Old Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension in Naples, Florida. The club operates as a single-property lifestyle facility centered on an 18-hole, 7,352-yard, par 72 golf course designed by master architect Rees Jones, recognized as one of the finest walkable designs in Florida. Members have unlimited play with no tee times and access to a members-only clubhouse, restaurant, and world-class practice area. The club has operated for more than 15 years and is described in source material as one of the most exclusive and respected private clubs in Naples.

The business generates revenue across four primary streams: recurring membership fees (subscription model), special events hosting (weddings, corporate, charity, private celebrations), golf outings and tournaments for non-member groups, and dining services. The core go-to-market is a sales-led, tour-based membership acquisition model with prospective members invited to experience the club before committing. Distribution is entirely direct via membership sales administered by an Assistant GM/Membership Director, supported by a website presence and word-of-mouth. Members also receive reciprocal access to over 600 affiliated clubs worldwide through partnerships with The Executive Golfer and Links2Golf.

The club is operated as an affiliate of Concert Golf Partners, a private golf club management company that provides club management software (Liferay/Northstar), administrative support, and shared executive personnel including the General Manager, Regional Controller, Area Manager of Communications & Member Relations, and Catering Manager. The on-property full-time team includes Head Golf Professional Ben Duffy, Golf Course Superintendent Eric Oster, PGA Professionals, Executive Chef Al Rego, and supporting accounting and assistant golf professional staff. The customer base is affluent individuals and families in the Southwest Florida region seeking exclusive golf, dining, and a family-centric social environment.
