West Bay Club, the Exclusive Gulf Coast Community of Southwest, Florida

Located in beautiful Estero, Florida, West Bay Club is an exclusive golf and country club community surrounded by three scenic waterways: the Estero River, Halfway Creek and Estero Bay. Unusually intimate in scale and with an exacting attention to details, West Bay Club exemplifies elegance without pretense.

Native areas include magnificent stands of old-growth cypress and oaks, wild orchids and bromeliads, exotic birds and butterflies, and more than 500 acres of untouched woodlands and wetlands. The 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Pete and P.B. Dye, cuts through glorious nature preserves and lovely wooded areas.

The elegant West Bay Club includes a library, a reading room and a separate card room; indoor and outdoor casual dining; an expansive pool area; and fitness areas with the latest in workout equipment, separate massage rooms and a personal training room.

Outdoor recreation is unmatched here. The community’s private Key West-style Beach House boasts remarkable views of the Gulf of Mexico and white-sand beaches as well as an 85-seat restaurant/bar. West Bay Club also features River Park on Estero Bay, with a boat launch into the Gulf of Mexico and numerous outdoor pursuits such as canoe and kayak racks, a fishing pier, a large children’s playground, an organic butterfly and hummingbird garden and a 1.5-mile, 12-station Vita course. Friendly competition can be enjoyed at the River Park’s lighted basketball court or the all-purpose sports field.

West Bay Club’s stately homes offer golf course views on the front nine in every direction, surrounded by lakes and framed by acres of preserves while the homes of Sunset Trace are threaded along Halfway Creek and located just off the 14th and 15th fairways.
