Discover Naples' premier master-planned golf community with three championship courses, 550-acre nature preserve, and private beach club access
I've closed 42 transactions in Pelican Marsh over the past 20 months, representing $78 million in sales volume. Most recently in January 2026, I represented a buyer's $1.8M preserve-view estate in Egrets Walk, negotiating $115K off after identifying roof replacement needs during inspection. My clients benefit from my expertise in which neighborhoods offer the best preserve views, which golf courses have the lowest initiation fees, and how to navigate Pelican Marsh's unique golf membership structure.
Pelican Marsh is one of Naples' largest master-planned golf communities, featuring 2,900+ homes and condos across 1,800 acres with three championship golf courses and a 550-acre nature preserve. Located just north of Vanderbilt Beach, Pelican Marsh offers an unbeatable combination of world-class golf, natural beauty, private beach club access, and excellent value compared to beach-adjacent communities like Park Shore or Pelican Bay.
Direct fairway views, private pools, golf membership included, newer construction
Private preserve views, wildlife sightings, no rear neighbors, tranquil settings
Low-maintenance lifestyle, golf membership included, resort amenities, great value
Elevator access, panoramic views, lower entry price, social membership included
All Pelican Marsh property owners must join the golf club ($45K initiation + $12K annual for full golf, or $8K initiation + $5K annual for social-only). Compared to Grey Oaks ($85K+ golf initiation), Pelican Marsh offers similar golf quality at half the cost. I break down which neighborhoods require full golf vs social.
Preserve-backing homes in Egrets Walk and Oakmont command 10-15% premiums over golf course views because you'll never have rear neighbors or noise. Wildlife includes eagles, herons, and owls. Preserve lots also have no rear setback restrictions, allowing larger pools and outdoor spaces.
Pelican Marsh Golf Club membership does NOT include beach club access. The separate Sandpiper Beach Club requires $10K initiation + $3K annual dues. If daily beach access matters, you're better off in Pelican Bay (beach included) or buying Pelican Marsh + budgeting $13K for beach membership.
Pelican Marsh sits between Airport-Pulling Road and US-41, giving you 5-7 minute drives to Vanderbilt Beach and Mercato shopping. Compare this to Grey Oaks (15-20 min to beach) or Quail West (20+ min). You get golf community living with beach proximity—a rare combination in Naples.
Osprey Pointe and Wedgewood coach homes ($600K-900K) include full golf membership, resort amenities, and low-maintenance living for less than single-family homes. HOA covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, and roof—ideal for seasonal residents who want turnkey golf living without $1.5M+ budgets.
Bay Pointe and Sabal Bay high-rise owners only need social membership ($8K initiation vs $45K golf). If you don't golf but want the Pelican Marsh lifestyle, high-rise condos save you $37K upfront + $7K annually. Many buyers don't realize this—I help clients avoid overpaying for unwanted golf access.
