Water and nature preserves add dramatic beauty to many of the Bay Colony Golf Club holes. The course is a timeless design that looks as

though nature itself routed it through its elegant surroundings.

-Robert von Hagge, Golf Course Architect

Bay Colony Golf Club is one of Golf ’s hidden treasures in the heart of Naples’ popular Vanderbilt Beach area, nestled in a pocket of unspoiled

preserve land teeming with lush tropical foliage and native wildlife.

y Visionary executives of Westinghouse Communities, Inc. (WCI) laid plans and began building their versions of Shangri-La in what were once overgrown mangroves and scrubby tomato fields. Over the next two decades, the developer established Pelican Bay, Bay Colony and Pelican Marsh, which today represent North Naples’ finest gated luxury residential golf communities.

Shangri-La: synonymous with any earthly paradise / utopia — a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly aging in appearance.

As a response to the growing demands for grand-scale estates homes in an uber-private setting, the Estates at Bay Colony and the championship Bay Colony Golf Course were developed by WCI as an extension of Bay Colony within a unique gated residential enclave in Pelican Marsh. Since the beginning, the gated Estates at Bay Colony Golf Club, located within Pelican Marsh, and Bay Colony, located within Pelican Bay, were bound as one master community, the Bay Colony Community Association.

The Bay Colony Golf Course opened originally as nine holes just north of the entrance to the Estates at Bay Colony on Pelican Marsh Blvd. Just south of Pelican Marsh Boulevard were an additional nine holes that today are part of the Pelican Marsh Golf Club course. One had to cross the street to golf all 18 holes.

Nine holes were added to each course to accommodate the demands of affluent empty nesters migrating south, and the Bay Colony Golf Club was established.

Poseidon: In Greek Mythology, “God of the Sea”

The official logo was established for the Bay Colony Community Association and Bay Colony Golf Club featuring Poseidon, the king and master of the sea. Bay Colony and the Bay Colony Golf Club were envisioned as a kingdom by the sea and a playground for the gods. Both Bay Colony Community Association and Bay Colony Golf Club have always shared the Poseidon logo and brand identity.

The Southern Plantation Style Bay Colony Golf Clubhouse was completed.

Bay Colony Golf Club played host to the Senior PGA Tour two years in a row. Many a pro golfer was quoted as saying,

“The Bay Colony Golf Course is among the finest courses I have ever played.”

WCI turned over Bay Colony Golf Club to the members. Since this time, Bay Colony Golf Club has been a pillar of financial strength and a benchmark of “best in class” executive leadership.

Members of Bay Colony Golf Club expanded the Clubhouse, adding the Southern Plantation Style wrap around Terrace, brick paver Patio overlooking the 18th green, new state of the art Culinary Kitchen, Private Dining Room and the redesign of the Ladies Locker Room to accommodate the popularity of the ladies golf programs at Bay Colony Golf Club.

Members of Bay Colony Golf Club “Remastered the Masterpiece.” A monumental restoration of the Bay Colony Golf Course is completed in partnership with the original course architectural design firm of von Hagge, Smelek and Baril, now Smelek Design.

Fairways, greens, tees, bunkers, bulkheads, cart paths are meticulously restored, refined and replaced, along with three linear miles of trees along the perimeter. A monumental achievement in golf course restoration is recorded in the annuls of history.
