Q: Is there any update on the Arthrex/Golden Gate Golf Course project? I anticipated construction would have commenced by now. – Finlay White, Naples
A Vision for the Former Golden Gate Golf Course
The plans for transforming the historic 54-year-old Golden Gate Golf Course became apparent after its acquisition by Collier County in 2019 for $29.1 million. The future seemed uncertain at that time as few could predict the ambitious projects slated for this expansive 167-acre site located at Collier Boulevard and Golden Gate Parkway.
This prime location is significant; as noted by Collier County Commissioner Burt L. Saunders, it represents one of the final substantial green spaces within an increasingly urbanized Collier County. “This was a critical acquisition,” he remarked. “The foresight displayed in securing this property is commendable.”
Transformative Plans Underway
The urgency surrounding this purchase was exacerbated when prior owners sought to construct around 750 residential units on these grounds—prompting local leaders to envision a more community-focused approach. “I advocated that we utilize this space to better benefit both the Golden Gate community and all county residents,” explained Saunders.
The former golf course will be remodeled into The Gate, featuring a distinctive nine-hole par-35 course designed by professional golfer Peter Jacobsen alongside his design firm Jacobsen-Hardy Golf Course Design. Groundbreaking took place on February 10th for this innovative new layout.
A Unique Family-Friendly Experience Awaits
A Hub of Recreational Facilities
This ambitious redevelopment will also feature extensive amenities designed by MHK Architecture encompassing about 18,000 square feet within a campus-like atmosphere. Included are:
- A pro shop stocked with golfing essentials and gear.
- An advanced driving range equipped with state-of-the-art technology and lighting for nighttime use.
- An inviting Himalayas-style putting course available day or night practice.
The Oakwood Grill aims to provide patrons with an upscale menu alongside casual dining experiences in picturesque outdoor seating; complementarily dedicated spaces will host community events and gatherings.
