2005 Florida Golf Course of the Year

The Estuary Golf Course has been named the 2005 Florida Golf Course of the Year by the Florida Golf Course Owners Association. Criteria for the award include exceptional course quality, ownership and management, as well as outstanding contribution to the community and significant support for the game.

Artistically carved among original stands of towering pine, cypress, and oak trees, the Estuary Course shines as the final jewel in Grey Oaks' triple crown of championship golf. Tranquil lakes shimmer alongside each fairway of this magnificent masterpiece planned by internationally renowned golf course designer Bob Cupp. The Estuary Florida Golf Course combines challenges, pristine conditions and nature at its best, with wetlands and vegetation preserved in their natural state.With five par threes, and five par fives, all levels of golfers appreciate the course's presentation, within the private sanctuary of a breathtaking nature preserve setting, Estuary expresses sophistication and intricacy in form. Among the outstanding characteristics of this truly inspirational course are diversity in fairway width, and size of greens, creative bunker design, and multiple surface golf paths.

An "estuary" is defined as the wide lower course of a river where the tide flows in, causing fresh and salt water to mix. The Estuary is where the Gordon River meets Naples Bay. This unique situation defines this gem of Grey Oaks. Few courses are able to successfully preserve the beauty of the environment while presenting challenges and enjoyment for players. The Estuary is as unique as its name suggests: a rare jewel, few and far between.
