Bonita Bay

Bonita Bay™ is a 2,400-acre master-planned community just north of Naples in Bonita Springs. Located on Southwest Florida’s ecologically sensitive gulf coast, the property incorporates a range of delicate ecosystems, from fresh- and saltwater marshes to mangrove stands, hardwood hammocks, a pristine river and creek, and Estero Bay that opens to the Gulf of Mexico.

Planners recognized that Bonita Bay required responsible and innovative development in order to preserve and enhance the environmental integrity of the site.

At build-out, in 2010, fewer than 3,300 residences will have been constructed, a significantly lower density than the 9,240 units approved in the master plan.

Intimate neighborhoods of single-family, villa, coach and carriage homes, as well as luxury high-rise condominiums, overlook the Gulf, bay, lakes, golf course property and nature preserves. More than 1,400 acres remain open space, including 230-acres of lakes, expansive nature preserve areas and 12 miles of bicycle and walking paths.

The off-site golf courses, called Bonita Bay Club East, includes 895 acres of cypress wetlands, 190 acres of pine flats, lakes, hundreds of native sabal palms and open space. No residential development will ever occur on the site

For even the most ardent souls hoping to challenge its design, Bonita Bay embodies everything artistic about the game of golf. Famed architects Tom Fazio and Arthur Hills have created five championship courses designed to challenge and accommodate resident-member golfers of every level.
