Calusa Pines Golf Club

Calusa Pines Golf Club stands apart in a south Florida market crowded with high-budget, ego-driven designs. Named among Golf Digest's Top Ten Best New Private Clubs in the United States, this 18-hole course earns that recognition through a design that feels discovered rather than built. Sweeping ridges shape ten of the holes, yet the landforms are soft and flowing enough to read as natural. Extensive native vegetation reinforces that impression, giving the course a character that is rare for the region. The club operates on its own terms: no tee times, no public membership figures, and a strong caddie program that actively encourages walking. The founding purpose is straightforward — to deliver an exceptional experience in a relaxed setting that fosters camaraderie among golfers who genuinely love the game.
