7 Ways West Bay Life in Southwest Florida Rises Above the Rest

From days spent on the fairways to cruising along the Gulf, West Bay Club members are known for focusing on the good life. Bounded by the Estero Bay and Estero River, this Distinguished Club of America’s combination of a stunning location with a rich mosaic of amenities offers Members access to the best Southwest Florida has to offer. Let’s take a closer look at what makes life in this private club community so remarkable for its Members.

1. Newly Expanded Private Beach Club

Nestled against the shoreline of Little Hickory Island, the private Beach Club offers residents and their guests convenient access to the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, and the area’s powder-soft white sand beaches. The Beach Club itself is currently being expanded and renovated to include an exceptional oceanfront dining venue with a full-service bar, an expanded outdoor dining deck, and added parking for member convenience. The anticipated opening date for the new Beach Club is Winter 2023.

2. A Resort-Style Multi-Generational Playground

The recently expanded Bay House is the signature multi-activity gathering place within West Bay Club. The resort-style pool, kid’s splash pad water playground, and hot tub grotto are perfect for family entertainment. A poolside dining venue offers an exciting menu and bar services with both indoor and outdoor spaces. Surrounding the pool, two fitness centers provide the latest cardio and strength training equipment, as well as dedicated spaces for yoga, spin, and Pilates. On the top floor of the Bay House, a demonstration kitchen, lecture hall, multi-use event space, and business lounge provide ample places to gather for every occasion.

3. Expanded Fitness Facilities Inspire the Mind, Body, and Soul

Along with the renovations to the Bay House and Beach Club, West Bay’s fitness facilities are also undergoing renovations. A new 3,500 square-foot fitness facility will be created adjacent to the Bay House, with state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength training circuits, stretching spaces, and areas for personal trainers. As one of the fastest-growing sports in America, the new pickleball center recently opened at the Sports Park, with four courts that have become a favored resident hangout spot. The Sports Complex also includes lit bocce courts, bean bag toss, horseshoes, and two dog parks – one for larger dogs and one for smaller dogs.

4. A New Luxury Condominium Address Overlooking the Gulf of Mexico

West Bay Club’s amenities, however, are not the only renovations coming to the community. After almost a decade in the making, West Bay Club is also excited to announce its last and final neighborhood to be developed- The Island at West Bay. This 24-story condominium tower has captured the attention of homebuyers across the nation for its unique combination of world-class living with the comforts of a close-knit community. The Island will feature 86 luxurious 3- to 4-bedroom residences, each indulging in spectacular corner residence views and exquisite designer touches.

5. Seamless Access to Outdoor Adventures on the Intracoastal and Gulf Waterways

For those who enjoy being one with nature, River Park borders the Estero River, winding through dense mangroves and eventually opening up to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. A picturesque day dock is a great place for fishing and nature photography, while the boat launch is perfect for setting off on a boating, kayaking, or canoeing adventure. The area also includes a children’s play area, picnic pavilions, an open event field, a butterfly garden, and a 1.5-mile, 12-station vita course.

6. Championship Golf in a Peaceful Natural Setting

Designed by Pete and P.B. Dye, the West Bay Golf Club championship golf course winds through the Club’s sanctuary wetlands to provide a challenging round for both beginners and avid golfers alike. The course is world-renowned for embracing its stunning natural setting, where Members play holes situated between sanctuary preserves that sometimes feature the occasional wildlife visit. The course also received numerous accolades, including Golf Digest Magazine’s Best in State and America’s Top 100 lists. Additionally, as a Troon Privé Club, Golf Members also enjoy reciprocal privileges to nearly 200 golf clubs around the world.
