the strand

The Strand is an established gated golf and country club community located in North Naples off Immokalee Road between Livingston Road and I-75. Encompassing approximately 575 acres, the community was developed around lakes, preserves, landscaped streets and a 27-hole championship golf course designed by Gordon Lewis. Residential options are diverse and include condominiums, coach homes, villas and single-family homes spread among a collection of individual neighborhoods, with many properties overlooking the golf course, lakes, preserves or landscaped surroundings. Development began in the late 1990s, giving The Strand the mature landscaping and established character that distinguishes it from many newer Naples communities.

The lifestyle is centered around The Club at The Strand, a private country club offering golf, dining, fitness and wellness, swimming, racquet sports and an active calendar of recreational and social activities. The golf experience includes three distinct nine-hole courses that can be played in different 18-hole combinations, while residents who do not prioritize golf can still take advantage of the club's extensive non-golf amenities. The Strand's location adds another dimension to its appeal, providing convenient access to North Naples shopping, dining, healthcare, Gulf beaches and I-75 without requiring residents to live farther from the established coastal areas of Naples.
