Del Webb Naples, 55+
Panther Run golf view homes
Single family and resale attached homes around a public Gordon Lewis course.
Ave Maria Golf
Panther Run versus The National: Ave Maria golf compared
Two courses, two structures. One is a public club inside a 55+ neighborhood. The other is the centerpiece of a private golf and country club community. Understanding the difference protects your budget.
Side by Side
Two golf lifestyles, two very different structures
Panther Run Golf Club
- 18 holes, par 72, designed by Gordon Lewis
- Measures up to approximately 7,532 yards
- Located within the Del Webb Naples area of Ave Maria
- Operates as a public golf course, with membership options also available
- A Del Webb purchase does not by itself require a membership unless the current property documents say so
- Golf view homes are in the 55+ Del Webb Naples community
The National Golf & Country Club
- Residential golf and country club community built by Lennar
- Gated, all ages
- Coach homes, condominiums, veranda products and single family homes
- Ownership, association structure and club rights are closely intertwined
- Golf rights, club fees, food and beverage minimums and association fees vary by property
- Property specific verification of governing and club documents is essential
Do not assume the two courses share a membership structure. They do not. Panther Run is a public course with optional membership. The National ties club rights and obligations to specific residences.
