Verandah Club

The Southwest Florida heat makes morning rounds essential here, but the reward is a Robert Trent Jones Jr. design that showcases genuine strategic variety across rolling terrain dotted with mature oaks and palmettos. The par-3 17th demands a precise mid-iron over water to a peninsula green that's as unforgiving as it is photogenic. What elevates this daily-fee track above Fort Myers' crowded market is Jones's subtle use of elevation changes and forced carries that punish lazy swings without beating up weekend players.
