Tiburón is a gated luxury golf community in North Naples, known for its two Greg Norman-designed championship golf courses and its close relationship with The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón. The community offers a diverse collection of luxury real estate, including estate homes, single-family residences, villas and condominiums arranged among golf course, lake and preserve settings. Tiburón's Gold Course opened in 1998, followed by the Black Course in 2001, establishing the community as one of Naples' most recognizable golf destinations. The two courses provide 36 holes of championship golf and are Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries, combining a high-level golf experience with an emphasis on the surrounding natural environment.

The Tiburón lifestyle extends beyond golf through its 27,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style clubhouse, dining, member services, golf instruction and membership privileges that can include fitness, tennis, swimming and beach transportation. The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón is located adjacent to the golf courses, adding a distinctive resort component to the overall setting. Membership options allow residents to choose different levels of club privileges rather than making the residential experience entirely dependent on golf, while Tiburón's central North Naples location provides convenient access to Gulf beaches, Mercato, Waterside Shops, Artis-Naples, restaurants, shopping and other area destinations.
