A golf community located in North Naples, Florida, and a few minute's drive from I-75, the LaPlaya Golf Club is a peaceful, non-gated golf neighborhood with multiple golf real estate options for all residents, young or old. LaPlaya, formerly Palm River Golf Club, is located in a premier location close to everything Naples offers.

Palm River Estates, the official name of LaPlaya's golf community, has several subdivisions under its management. Some of the most popular ones are River Royale and Quail Crossing. A true golf neighborhood for all, LaPlaya consists of hundreds of single-family houses, golf estates, attached golf villas, and low-rise golf condominiums, ideal for those on a budget.

The community's captivating golf homes are nestled alongside LaPlaya's prestigious 18-hole golf course, designed by Ernie Smith and Bob Cupp. Many residents choose to become members of the LaPlaya Golf Club, not simply for the exceptional golfing experience it offers but also for the many benefits it gives locals. Membership boasts a reputation for affordability, with annual dues consistently lower than those of other private clubs in the area, free from additional surprise assessments. This combination of a world-class course and a fiscally responsible membership structure fosters a thriving community of golfers within LaPlaya.

Whether into golf or not, the LaPlaya Golf Club has many amenities exclusive to members. Residents have access to a large swimming pool area with cabanas for poolside dining, as well as boat facilities to truly experience the resort lifestyle in the heart of the Palm River. Several biking and fitness trails are available throughout, which are best to visit when jogging in the morning or walking with pets. For avid golfers, the pro shop is within walking distance from the clubhouse, offering the latest golf apparel. At night, invite friends and family members to a memorable dining experience at LaPlaya's on-site restaurant and bar, serving only the best traditional Florida dishes while admiring the landscaping beauty of the layout.

When searching for an unregulated neighborhood in Naples, LaPlaya is among the best choices. The community is unique for its old-style approach as a neighborhood, which is now rare in most Florida subdivisions with all their strict HOA rules and terms. LaPlaya offers the established feel of a mature town. This means a quieter, more settled atmosphere with a sense of community.

What makes this Collier County-based neighborhood fantastic is the affordable living it offers. Since it's non-gated, HOA fees are lower, but the safety of all residents is still highly prioritized. The Palm River Estates management also says that the community charges are mostly spent on projects that spruce up the landscaping and foliage throughout the area.

Just as many activities can be done within the LaPlaya Golf Club are the numerous fun recreations available outside the community grounds. Its proximity to Naples provides easy access to the city's vibrant offerings. Within a few minutes drive from the golf neighborhood are the Gulf of Mexico and numerous pristine white-sand beaches. Families can book a hotel overlooking the coast or hang out by the incredible water. LaPlaya is also adjacent to a few arts and entertainment establishments, casual fine-dining restaurants, upscale shopping, and cultural attractions.
