Located off of Golden Gate Parkway just west of Airport on 244 acres of prime Naples Real Estate, Bear´s Paw offers privacy, security and spectacular beauty.  When you enter through the guarded gate, you will find cypress woods, towering pines, palmettos and an unparalleled landscape.  The community is made up of a mix of luxury villas, single family homes and low rise condos, all with spectacular views of the lush fairways, manicured greens and shimmering lakes.  It is a member of the Certified Audubon Sanctuary program and is home to a wide variety of South Florida bird life.                  

Bear´s Paw is a Jack Nicklaus Signature par 72 18 hole championship golf course.  Typical of a Nicklaus course, it has generous landing areas and greens requiring precision irons.  The second and seventh and twelfth and fifteenth are shared greens which makes for an interesting putt if you happen to be on the wrong side.  One green even has a sand trap and palm tree in the middle.  Playing at 6,874 yards from the championship tees, it is a challenge for the scratch gofer yet playable for the average player.  The course offers a superb practice facility with a driving range with two sets of tees, a short game area and practice putting green. 

The Clubhouse is the focal point for the community, and features a main dining room renowned for its elegant dining, while the Nicklaus Grill is a great place for lunch, a casual dinner or a cold beverage after a round of golf.  There are a number of swimming pools throughout the community as well as four Har-tru tennis courts for the tennis enthusiast, two of which are lit.  The club has an active social program including dancing, bridge, casino nights, water aerobics and a book club, just to name a few.   For the boater, the club has  docking facilities and a boat ramp with access to the Gulf.

If you are looking for a member owned equity golf community close to the heart of Naples, you will definitely want to add Bear´s Paw to your list.
