ABOUT LELY GOLF ESTATES
Lely Golf Estates is an established, non-gated and deed-restricted community of 462 single-family homes in East Naples, located off U.S. 41 and centered around St. Andrews Boulevard. The community is divided among six residential neighborhoods: Unit 1, Unit 2, St. Andrews East, St. Andrews West, Pinehurst and Forest Hills. Mature trees, tropical landscaping, generous homesites and golf-course surroundings give Lely Golf Estates an established residential character that feels distinctly different from Naples' newer master-planned developments, while the variety of home styles and renovation levels creates considerably more individuality from property to property.
The community is surrounded by Hibiscus Golf Club, giving many residences attractive golf-course views without requiring homeowners to maintain a bundled or mandatory golf membership. Its East Naples location also provides convenient access to Downtown Naples, Fifth Avenue South, Gulf beaches, Naples Botanical Garden, East Naples Community Park, shopping and dining, while Marco Island and the Isles of Capri are readily accessible to the south. For buyers who value an established single-family neighborhood, optional golf and convenient access to both Naples and Marco Island, Lely Golf Estates offers a compelling combination.

What You Need to Know About Living in Lely Golf Estates
The Community Is Non-Gated: Lely Golf Estates has open residential streets rather than controlled gated entrances.
It Is Deed Restricted: Although the community has a relatively traditional neighborhood feel, owners are subject to association covenants, rules and architectural requirements.
Golf Is Separate From Homeownership: Owning a home within Lely Golf Estates does not automatically provide golf privileges or require golf membership.
Homes Vary Considerably: Age, architecture, renovation level, hurricane protection, private pools, mechanical systems and overall condition can differ significantly from one residence to another.
Property-Specific Due Diligence Is Important: With an established housing stock, buyers should carefully evaluate improvements, permits, roofs, mechanical systems, insurance considerations and other property-specific factors.
Current Association Rules Should Be Verified: Leasing, pets, architectural changes and other property-use requirements should be reviewed through current association documents.
LELY GOLF ESTATES AMENITIES
Lely Golf Estates is primarily a residential neighborhood rather than a resort-style amenity community, so homeowners are not supporting a large community clubhouse, resort pool, fitness center or extensive recreational complex. Instead, the appeal centers around spacious single-family living, mature landscaping, golf-course surroundings and the freedom to enjoy recreational opportunities throughout the surrounding Naples area. Many homes have their own private swimming pools, lanais and outdoor entertaining spaces, making recreation at home an important part of the lifestyle.
Golf is the most visible recreational feature within the neighborhood. Hibiscus Golf Club is a public 18-hole golf course, allowing residents and visitors to play without purchasing a mandatory membership tied to their property. Optional golf programs and memberships may be available directly through the club, giving golfers flexibility in deciding how frequently they want to play while allowing non-golfing homeowners to enjoy the attractive fairway setting without paying for golf they may not use.
The location also puts residents close to some of East Naples' best public recreation. East Naples Community Park, Naples Botanical Garden, the Bayshore Arts District, Downtown Naples and Gulf beaches are all conveniently accessible, while Marco Island and the Isles of Capri expand the dining, boating and recreational possibilities to the south. For Lely Golf Estates residents, the lifestyle is less about a centralized amenity center and more about having an established neighborhood, optional golf and easy access to the broader Naples lifestyle.
