Golf Course Information

Description

The Hole-In-The-Wall Golf Club was established in 1957 for members who appreciated the traditions of the game of golf and enjoyed each other’s company. This deep seated tradition continues today. The name, Hole-In-The-Wall, was derived because the property was the northern section of the Hole In The Wall Ranch. At the end of the nineteenth century, before the Tamiami Trail was even thought about, there were two separate areas of settlements in Naples. One was east of the Gulf Coast strip from Gordon Pass and the other was east of Naples Bay and Cypress Swamp.

This swamp prevented direct land traffic between the two settlements and became known as the "Wall". To overcome this barrier, early settlers cut a rough road through the swamp which became known as the "Hole In The Wall".

The current clubhouse was completed in 2007, and while it copies many of the features of the original clubhouse and partially rests on the original footprint, the facilities have been modernized and there is more space provided for locker rooms, dining areas and a bar. About the same time, under the direction of Ron Forse, the original Dick Wilson golf course was also renovated. Many new ponds were created, non-native plantings removed, a new sprinkler system installed and the entire course raised up and regrassed. The fairways are now Celebration and the new greens (installed in 2014) are TifEagle bermuda grass.
