Oak/Pine

The twin-nine combination at Lely Resort in Naples puts players through 2 of the property's 3 distinct routing options — a format that lets the club mix and match nines to create varied competitive configurations. Lely has long been one of Southwest Florida's more ambitious resort golf operations, and the Oak and Pine nines represent the older, more established side of the property, a contrast to the Flamingo Island course that joined the complex later.

Naples sits at the edge of the Everglades, and golf here carries a distinct subtropical character: broad fairways framed by saw palmetto, slash pine, and the occasional water hazard that doubles as genuine wildlife habitat. The flat terrain typical of coastal Southwest Florida means elevation is never a factor, but wind off the Gulf — just a few miles west — can quietly reshape any given round.

As a resort layout, the emphasis is on playability and pace, welcoming a wide range of handicaps without demanding specialist knowledge of a single, fixed 18-hole sequence.
