$63M in upgrades coming to country club in Naples

A Collier County country club’s membership has approved a $63 million capital improvement plan that will bring major upgrades to the campus in Naples. The changes at Grey Oaks Country Club will occur in phases from 2027 to 2032 and cover everything from the golf course to dining.

“Grey Oaks has a longstanding tradition of investing in the experiences and amenities that make our club special,” Don Emery, general manager of Grey Oaks Country Club, says in a statement.

Planned enhancements include golf, dining, wellness and recreational amenities.

To improve playability and the overall golf experience, the Estuary Course will be renovated.

A major renovation is also ahead for the Estuary Clubhouse, including the introduction of a year-round pub serving lunch and dinner, redesigned entryway as well as more flexible dining spaces. A new patio at the back of the East Clubhouse will expand seating and event capacity there and allow for more à la carte dining during busier seasonal months, according to the statement.

The 30,000-square-foot wellness center will also be expanded, with the club’s spa and longevity facility growing to about 9,500 square feet. According to the statement, the enhanced space will include sauna and steam amenities, a cold plunge, more massage rooms and accommodations for expanded physical therapy services.

Recreational improvements will include expanding the pool deck with more seating and cabanas, enhancements to the racquet areas and improvements to children's amenities.

The capital improvements will come after five years of member surveys, focus groups and feedback. The changes are designed to enhance the club, General Manager Emery says, “while continuing to anticipate the evolving interests and expectations of our membership.”
