\"Renovation

Renovation of the Heritage Bay clubhouse is going to get a big piece of the $10 million of upgrades.<\/p><\/div>\n

In a quiet trend that’s rolling through the upscale country club market, the Heritage Bay Golf & Country Club, a private community situated on 718 acres in North Naples, Florida, has embarked on a $10 million dollar project to enhance the experience for its members, in dining, golf, lounging by swimming pools and other recreational activities.\u00a0 In fact, Heritage is like a growing number of clubs that are “recapitalizing,” with money from investors or members, to set up facilities that attract and keep members for the next 15 years.<\/p>\n

Ironically, in this age of Covid-19, golf – – and private clubs in particular – – are booming, as a safe refuge from the pandemic.\u00a0 According to a recent feature in The Washington Post<\/em>, golf is having “Its Best Summer in Decades<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

And it’s the best-located clubs, such as Heritage, with top notch facilities, that appear to have a strong shot at long term prosperity.<\/p>\n

Heritage Bay Golf & Country Club, which opened in 2006, is sits adjacent to the 750 acre Cypress Preserve protecting open space to the north and west. \"Golfcoursephoto2\"Amenities at the Club include 27 holes of golf, a fully equipped pro shop, a resort-style pool complex, six community pools, a wellness center, three dining venues, seven tennis and two pickleball courts, three bocce ball courts, billiards and a 24-hour manned gatehouse. Membership to Heritage Bay Golf & Country Club is included with the purchase of a home within the community<\/p>\n

Heritage Bay Golf & Country Club partnered with Humphrey Rosel Architects, a local Naples firm specializing in the creations of designs both functional and emotionally inspiring. Their focus was to update and enhance the clubhouse pool complex and dining areas with the following renovations:<\/p>\n
