Overview

The Nest Golf Club, long known as Pelican's Nest, is a private 36-hole club inside the gated Pelican Landing community in Bonita Springs. Its two courses, the Hurricane and the Gator, are Tom Fazio designs that run through preserve land near Spring Creek.

The club focuses on golf and dining, with a full-length driving range, a short-game area and a grill room alongside the main dining room. It does not operate its own tennis, pool or fitness facilities; those are run by the Pelican Landing community for residents.

Membership is open to people who live outside Pelican Landing. The courses have held Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary certification since 2001, according to Golf Aficionado.
