Residents are members of the private facilities of the Bay Colony Beach Club just minutes from their front door. Naples’ paradise-perfect stretch of Gulf Beach is a short walk to the Ritz Carlton, Naples. The Club’s staff provides every amenity – including fresh towels, chaise lounges, beach umbrellas, and serving favorite foods or drinks either at the water’s edge, pool side, or in the dining facilities. In the evening, the Beach Club provides gourmet dining in the casual refinement of the lounge bar, the intimate dining rooms, or in the private dining room which can be reserved for those special sunset dinner parties. At the Beach Club, time seems to stand still, as residents luxuriate in the spectacular vistas of the Gulf of Mexico.
Two excellent tennis facilities are available for residents who want to raise a racquet. One facility is across from the Beach Club in Bay Colony. It is a superb tennis facility with six hydro-clay courts for both beginner and advanced players and a fully equipped pro shop supplies all tennis player delights and needs. The other is the Tennis Center at Pelican Marsh just yards from the front entrance to The Estates at Bay Colony. It has 9 excellently-maintained and lighted clay courts with programs and private lessons for children and adults.
The expansive Pelican Marsh Community Center offers residents a well-equipped fitness center, personal trainers, and varied exercise, dance and social programs.
Bay Colony Golf Club is located in The Estates at Bay Colony. Members enjoy the exclusivity of a no tee time championship golf course for 300 Equity Members. Golfing is an unhurried, uncrowded, shot-by-shot progression of play through vast rolling fairways, verdant greens and the lush tropical natural flora of the Cocohatchee Strand Nature Preserve.
The 18-hole championship course, designed by Robert von Hagge, offers five tee positions for the enjoyment of golfers of all levels. The award winning course architect is known for his signature rolling fairways, mounding, elevated greens, water elements and the challenging features that the sophisticated well travelled golfer has come to expect.

Organized Men’s and Ladies days, tournaments and mixed golf outings provide members with multiple weekly opportunities to play amid the camaraderie of fellow members.
