New and Improved!!!

Welcome to the “new” Hibiscus Golf Club! As of December 1st, 2023, Hibiscus has reopened to the public after completion of an extensive eight-month renovation.

Built in 1969, the David Wallace designed course has undergone many changes over the past fifty years.  Originally carved out of agricultural land in East Naples, the historic course remains one of the few full service public golf facilities in Collier County.

In 2020, as it became clear that the aging hydraulic irrigation system needed to be replaced, plans were made to undertake a complete renovation of the golf course in conjunction with the installation of the new, modern irrigation system.  With the assistance of Ragan Technical Solutions, 3Putt Services and Mondragon Golf, the Hibiscus management and maintenance team began the aggressive renovations in April of 2023.

While it was decided that the original layout would not change, the renovation included new grasses for all tees, greens and fairways along with new cart paths, renovated bunkers, improved drainage, new signage and landscape enhancements.   Additionally, all greens were enlarged back to their original size and tee complexes were redesigned for better shot angles and to accommodate golfers of all skill levels.  Despite the challenge of growing new grass during the unusual drought experienced in Southwest Florida over the summer, the Hibiscus team was able to complete the renovation on time.

As well as all the on-course improvements, we have improved our practice facility by adding three elevated targets, a wider walkway out of pavers behind the hitting area, signage, benches, dividers, and bag stands.  Also, keeping up with the course improvements, Hibiscus is now also home to a new fleet of Club Car Golf carts with an integrated GPS system designed to enhance player enjoyment and ensure an enjoyable pace of play.

While the golf course has never looked or played better, Hibiscus Golf Club will continue with its improvement plan over the course of this season and next summer to ensure it remains the crown jewel of public golf in Naples.
