Our full community guide covers the club, the course and the history; this page covers how to buy here well: which of the nine neighborhoods fits you, what each one really costs to own, what the county record says homes sell for, and how the club approval and Florida disclosure rules work from the buyer’s side of the table. Marc Comisar leads buyer representation for our team, and Jesse McGreevy leads pricing and seller strategy, so the same two people read every Worthington sale on both sides.

Buying a home in Worthington Country Club takes three decisions and one budget. You choose a product (estate home, villa, Waterford condo or Wedgewood carriage home), you choose one of nine neighborhood associations, and you accept bundled golf. The budget is the price plus a $12,500 capital contribution and about $16,670 to $21,770 a year in dues and minimums.
Every purchase here is a resale. The build-out finished in 1995, there are no vacant residential lots on the tax roll, and there is no developer inventory, so the Lee County Property Appraiser’s recorded sales are a complete record of what has traded (LeePA parcel fabric, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). That also means every buyer is buying a home that is 30 or more years old, and the questions that matter most are roof age, window and door protection, and what the neighborhood association has done to its buildings.
Here is the shape of the purchase in one paragraph. You sign a written buyer agreement with your agent before touring, as the NAR settlement practice changes now require. You tour with the specific association in mind, because a Waterford condo and a Bridgeford Avenue estate home trade in different markets. You write an offer with an inspection period, a wind-mitigation report and the association’s documents in hand. The neighborhood association issues an HOA Certificate of Approval before closing (Purchaser’s Packet, p. 9, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). At closing you pay the $12,500 capital contribution to the Worthington Master Association, and you walk out a full golf member (2026 Fee Schedule, retrieved 26 Sep 2026).
The rest of this page takes each step in order, with the county’s numbers and the club’s own documents behind every figure.
McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor choice for a Worthington Country Club buyer because we price by association, not by ZIP code. Worthington is nine associations behind one gate, with 2026 neighborhood dues from $2,612 to $7,712 on top of $13,058 in master dues, so an offer written off a blended community median will overpay or lose the house.

McGreevy and Comisar track the Worthington market for a buyer by pulling every recorded qualified sale from the Lee County Property Appraiser, matching it to its parcel, and sorting it into one of the nine neighborhood associations. That turns one misleading community median into nine usable prices, each with its own window and its own sale list.
Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
Portal medians for “Worthington” blend a $200,000 Waterford condo and a $900,000 golf-course estate home into one number, which tells a buyer nothing about the home in front of them. So we built the record ourselves.
We mapped all 799 residential parcels whose legal description places them in Worthington Country Club, Waterford or Wedgewood, using the county’s parcel layer and its September 2026 roll file (LeePA parcel data file, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). We then matched each qualified sale to its parcel and its association, across windows of 12, 24, 36, 60 and 120 months ending August 2026 (LeePA Last Qualified Sale layer, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). “Qualified” is the property appraiser’s test for an arm’s-length sale; builder deeds, quitclaims and corrective deeds fall out.
The single-family and villa associations share the 279 platted lots, so we assign them by plat block. The recorded master declaration lists Single Family I at 70 lots, Single Family II at 57, Villas I at 86 and Villas II at 66, and the county’s block counts reproduce those four numbers exactly: Blocks 1 and 2 are Single Family I, Blocks 7 and 10 are Single Family II, Blocks 3 to 6 are Villas I and Blocks 8 and 9 are Villas II (Master Declaration of CC&Rs, 2024; 2025 HOA Association Assessments, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The five condominium associations are assigned by their recorded condo phases.
We print a median only when a window holds 10 or more sales. We start at 12 months and widen to 24, 36 or 60 until a neighborhood clears 10, and we name the window beside every figure. Where the count is even, the median is the mean of the middle two sales, and we say so. Under 10 sales, we list the sales or the range instead.
The county records the deed price and the date. It does not record the list price, the days on market, seller credits or furnishings. Those come only from the Southwest Florida MLS, which puts Worthington at a median 99 days on market and a median 93.8% of final list price across 57 closings from 29 Sep 2025 to 29 Sep 2026. When you tour with us, we bring both sources to every offer.
The Worthington Country Club market for buyers in 2026 is steady in volume and softer in price. The county recorded 57 qualified sales in the 12 months from September 2025 through August 2026, totaling $22.04 million at a $360,000 median, down from a $420,000 median across the 36 months to August 2026.
Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
The headline window is the last 12 months, because 57 sales is well above our 10-sale floor. Wider windows are shown for context.
Window (ending August 2026) | Qualified sales | Median | Low | High | Dollar volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
12 months (Sep 2025 to Aug 2026) | 57 | $360,000 | $100,000 | $945,000 | $22.04 million |
24 months (Sep 2024 to Aug 2026) | 96 | $398,262.50 (mean of $395,525 and $401,000) | $100,000 | $975,000 | $42.36 million |
36 months (Sep 2023 to Aug 2026) | 141 | $420,000 | $100,000 | $1,100,000 | $65.83 million |
60 months (Sep 2021 to Aug 2026) | 276 | $420,500 (mean of $420,000 and $421,000) | $69,500 | $1,100,000 | $126.58 million |
The $100,000 low is a single Waterford-Worthington Way condo deed recorded in June 2026 that the county marked qualified. It sits well below every other Worthington sale in the window and should not be read as a market rate.
The trend differs by product, so we split it into three families. Each row is a 12-month period ending in August.
12 months ending August | Estate and villa homes | Waterford condos (3 associations) | Wedgewood carriage homes (2 associations) |
|---|---|---|---|
2022 | 20 sales, $620,750 (mean of $616,500 and $625,000) | 34 sales, $290,500 (mean of $287,000 and $294,000) | 13 sales, $436,000 |
2023 | 25 sales, $650,000 | 23 sales, $320,000 | 20 sales, $436,500 (mean of $435,000 and $438,000) |
2024 | 16 sales, $735,000 (mean of $730,000 and $740,000) | 14 sales, $337,000 (mean of $335,000 and $339,000) | 15 sales, $442,500 |
2025 | 20 sales, $700,000 (mean of $685,000 and $715,000) | 10 sales, $281,250 (mean of $280,000 and $282,500) | 9 sales, too few for a median ($300,000 to $455,000) |
2026 | 20 sales, $590,000 (mean of $580,000 and $600,000) | 24 sales, $199,750 (mean of $199,500 and $200,000) | 13 sales, $380,000 |
Three things stand out for a buyer.
Waterford condos are well below their peak. The Waterford median of $199,750 in the 12 months to August 2026 is about 41% below the $337,000 median of the 12 months to August 2024. Volume came back at the lower price: 24 sales against 10 the year before.
Wedgewood has eased less. The two Wedgewood carriage-home associations moved from $442,500 to $380,000 over the same two years, about 14% lower.
The single-family figure is partly a mix effect. The 2026 single-family median of $590,000 includes 13 villa sales and 7 estate-home sales, while the 2024 figure held 7 villas and 9 estates. Read the neighborhood figures in the next section, not the family median, before you price an offer.
Why condos fell further. We do not have a single public cause, and we do not pretend to. The context buyers and lenders cite across Southwest Florida is higher insurance costs, Florida’s post-Surfside condominium reforms and the reserve funding they push associations toward, and rising association dues. Inside Worthington, Waterford-Cavendish Court’s neighborhood dues rose from $5,044 in 2024 to $7,712 in 2026, and Waterford Amberley Court’s from $3,624 to $4,860 (HOA Dues for 2024; 2026 HOA Fee Schedule, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). Read those as context for the price trend, not as proven causes of it.
Months of supply, days on market and the sale-to-list ratio are MLS measures; the county does not record them. In the Southwest Florida MLS over the last 12 months (closings 29 Sep 2025 to 29 Sep 2026), Worthington condos closed at a median 93.4% of final list price after 96 days (37 sales), and single-family homes at 96.0% after 106 days (20 sales), so condo buyers have typically negotiated further off list. What the county record does show is turnover: 57 sales against 799 residences is about 7% of the community changing hands in a year, and 44 of those 57 sales recorded between October and May. A buyer who shops in late summer and early fall competes with fewer buyers; a buyer who waits for January competes with the whole seasonal market.
The rate a financed buyer pays moves the budget more than any single fee on this page. We check the weekly Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey before every offer conversation rather than printing a rate here that will be stale within a week. For a condo purchase, ask your lender early whether the specific association meets its condominium project requirements, because that answer can decide which loan programs are open to you.
A Worthington Country Club home costs from about $200,000 for a Waterford condo to about $790,000 for an estate home, measured by each association’s median recorded sale in the first window holding 10 or more sales. Wedgewood carriage homes sit near $400,000 and detached villas near $540,000, with all nine neighborhoods on the same bundled club.
Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
Neighborhood | Home type | Residences | Window used | Qualified sales | Median sale | Median $ per heated sq ft | 2026 neighborhood dues |

Price per square foot is the median of each sale’s price divided by the heated area on the county roll, over the same window. Dues are the 2026 HOA Fee Schedule, annualized. Master dues of $13,058 apply on top of every row.
The 127 estate homes sit on lots of about 9,600 to 18,300 square feet along Bridgeford Avenue, Rochester Court and Tonbridge Court, with a median of 2,225 heated square feet and 112 private pools. They are the only Worthington homes with four bedrooms or three full baths. Over the 24 months to August 2026, 18 sold between $580,000 and $975,000. The highest Worthington sale in the last 12 months, $945,000 in March 2026, was an estate home.
The 152 villas are detached one-story homes of 1,543 to 1,998 heated square feet on lots near 7,500 square feet, mostly on Southampton Drive, with 2 or 3 bedrooms and attached garages. About 44% have a private pool. In the 12 months to August 2026, 13 sold between $360,000 and $720,000 at a $537,500 median. Villas II carries the lowest neighborhood dues in Worthington at $2,612.
The three Waterford associations hold 284 flats in 25 two-story buildings, on floor plans of about 1,076 to 1,312 square feet, with carports and shared dumpsters. Waterford Amberley Court traded at a $199,500 median on 11 sales in 12 months, Waterford-Worthington Way at $247,500 over 24 months and Waterford-Cavendish Court at $200,000 over 24 months. The same floor plans carry dues from $4,860 to $7,712, which is the single biggest reason two identical Waterford units can be priced differently.
The two Wedgewood associations hold 236 carriage homes of 1,446 to 1,576 square feet in 59 four-unit, two-story buildings, with garages and curbside trash. Wedgewood-Sherburne traded at a $401,000 median over 24 months and Wedgewood-Fountain at $425,000 over 36 months. Wedgewood-Fountain re-roofed all 30 of its buildings in 2025, according to the permits on the City of Bonita Springs permit portal.
The table above is where a Worthington offer starts, and the association you choose sets both your price and your second layer of dues.

Worthington Country Club compares best against the other bundled clubs in Bonita Springs and Estero, because every Worthington buyer pays full golf dues. Against that set, Worthington’s 2026 club dues of $13,058 sit below Highland Woods’ $13,812.79 and above Pelican Sound’s $11,495, and its $12,500 entry cost sits in the middle.
Data updated: September 2026 (club fee schedules and Lee County Property Appraiser recorded qualified sales, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
We compare clubs on what a buyer pays to get in and to stay in, because each club publishes those numbers. We do not print sale medians for the other communities here, since this page’s price work is built only from Worthington’s own county record.

Bonita National looks cheaper on dues, but it is a community established in 2017 whose homes carry newer-construction prices, so the saving shows in the fee line and the cost shows in the purchase price. For a buyer put off by 1990s construction, it is the natural alternative.
Hunters Ridge and Spanish Wells suit an occasional golfer. Both make golf optional. A buyer who plays a few times a month would pay full golf dues at Worthington for golf they rarely use.
Pelican Sound charges the highest entry fee in this set, $20,300 for a first-time owner, with lower annual dues than Worthington.
Worthington’s case among Bonita’s lower-cost bundled clubs is a recently renovated course, a Zone X flood map on every parcel, a two-minute run to I-75 and the widest spread of price points behind one gate, from a Waterford condo to a golf-course estate home.
For the whole Bonita map, including non-golf neighborhoods such as Pine Haven, start at our Bonita Springs guide, and for every golf community in the county see our Lee County golf communities guide.
Worthington and Highland Woods are the closest twins a Bonita Springs buyer will find: both are bundled clubs of exactly 799 residences on Gordon Lewis golf routings. Buy in Worthington for lower yearly club costs, a Ron Garl-renovated course and fast I-75 access; buy in Highland Woods for a lower entry fee, pickleball today and a US 41 address.
Highland Woods Golf and Country Club lists 799 residences, states that every owner is a member of the club, and published 2026 club dues of $13,812.79 with a $500 food and beverage minimum and a $10,000 capital contribution (Highland Woods real estate page; Highland Woods 2026 estoppel and fee information, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). Its 18-hole, par-72 Gordon Lewis course opened in 1995 and plays to 6,799 yards (GolfPass, Highland Woods; Highland Woods golf information, retrieved 26 Sep 2026).

Our detailed guide |
Choose Worthington if you will play four or five rounds a week and drive to Naples or the airport often. The club layer costs about $255 less a year, the course was rebuilt in 2018, and the I-75 on-ramp is about 0.9 miles from the gate. Worthington also gives you the widest choice of product under one club, from a Waterford flat near $200,000 to an estate home near $790,000.
Choose Highland Woods if you want pickleball now, prefer the US 41 side of town, or are watching the cash you bring to closing: its capital contribution is $2,500 lower and it already runs six pickleball courts.
When it is a tie, and at the club layer it often is, the tiebreaker is the specific house, its roof and its neighborhood dues. We show buyers both clubs in the same week so the comparison is house against house, not brochure against brochure.
Buying a home in Worthington Country Club runs in eight steps: a buyer agreement and consultation, financing and a budget that includes dues, choosing the association, touring, the offer, inspections and documents, the HOA Certificate of Approval, and closing with the $12,500 capital contribution. Most of the Worthington-specific work sits in steps three, six and seven.
Since August 17, 2024, agents who are MLS participants must have a written agreement with a buyer before touring a home together, and it must state the compensation in a clear, objective way (NAR, The Facts, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). We walk you through ours at the first meeting, then set the brief: product, association, budget, must-haves, and whether you will rent the home.
A Worthington budget is the price plus closing costs plus $12,500, and a carrying cost of $16,670 to $21,770 a year in dues and minimums before tax and insurance. A financed buyer should get pre-approved before touring; a condo buyer should ask the lender early about the specific association.
The nine associations differ in dues, roof age, parking and local amenities. We narrow the list to one or two associations first, so every tour is a real candidate.
Visitors are logged in at the staffed main gate on Bonita Grande Drive; the north gate on Bonita Beach Road is for residents only (Purchaser’s Packet, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). Open houses run only on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., so most showings are by appointment (Open House Guidelines, retrieved 26 Sep 2026).
We price the offer from the recorded sales in that association, adjusted for view, roof age, updates and pool, and we write in who pays the capital contribution and resale fees so there are no surprises at closing.
Order a home inspection, a four-point and a wind-mitigation inspection, and read the association’s documents during the inspection period: the declaration, rules, budget and financial statement for a condo, or the HOA disclosure summary for an estate or villa home. The section on Florida disclosure law below explains which applies.
Every Worthington sale needs an HOA Certificate of Approval from the neighborhood association, and the five condo associations charge a $150 resale application fee (Purchaser’s Packet, p. 9). Build that step into your closing date.
At closing you pay the $12,500 capital contribution, or $1,306 if you already own in Worthington, and your dues start. The club’s Purchaser’s Packet then walks you through gate barcodes, cart registration and member setup (2026 Fee Schedule).
Owning a Worthington Country Club home in 2026 costs $13,058 a year in master dues, plus $2,612 to $7,712 in neighborhood association dues, plus a $1,000 food and beverage minimum, or $16,670 to $21,770 a year before property tax, insurance and golf carts. A buyer new to Worthington also pays a one-time $12,500 capital contribution at closing.
Every figure in this section comes from the club’s 2026 Fee Schedule and approved Master budget and its 2026 HOA Fee Schedule, both retrieved 26 Sep 2026.
Line | 2026 annual | 2026 monthly | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
Operating dues | $8,957 | $746 | Golf course, club operations, gate, common areas, staff |
Business capital | $501 | $42 | Operating capital for club businesses |
Capital reserves | $3,600 | $300 | Funded reserves for replacing club assets |
Total master dues | $13,058 | $1,088 | Full golf, tennis, fitness and social membership for the household |
Master dues were $12,910 in 2025, so they rose $148, or 1.1%, into 2026. The approved 2026 budget sends $2,876,400 to capital reserves.

Condo dues run higher because the condo associations insure and maintain the buildings, roofs and exteriors and run their own pools. In the estate and villa associations, the owner insures and maintains the house.
Charge | 2026 amount | Who pays |

Worthington sits in Lee County taxing district 017, “City of Bonita Springs / Bonita Springs Fire,” at a 2025 total of 12.7970 mills applied to taxable value (LeePA 2025 Taxing District Millage Book, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). There is no CDD assessment (Lee County Special Districts). On August 18, 2026, Bonita Springs voters approved up to $35 million in general-obligation bonds for the Bonita Estero Rail Trail, “payable from ad valorem property taxes,” so expect a small new debt line on future bills (City of Bonita Springs official ballot). A buyer’s assessment resets after the purchase, so do not budget from the seller’s bill if the seller holds a homestead exemption.
Association budgets, reserve schedules, insurance programs, deductibles and any special assessments sit behind the owner portal, not on the club’s public site. None of the five condominium associations posts a budget or reserve study publicly. You get them in two ways: a condo seller must provide the declaration, bylaws, rules, budget and financial statement under Florida law, and your closing agent orders an estoppel certificate from the association, which states what is owed and any assessment on the books. The HOA office at 13550 Worthington Way, (239) 495-2278, is the place to ask for the last two years of board minutes too.
A buyer new to Worthington buying a Wedgewood-Sherburne carriage home in 2026 would carry $13,058 in master dues, $5,700 in neighborhood dues and the $1,000 minimum, or $19,758 a year before tax and insurance, and would bring $12,500 plus the $150 resale application to closing. The same buyer on a Villas II home would carry $16,670 a year and bring $12,500.
You will see Worthington listings showing $647 a month in the HOA field and others showing $1,088, and some that fold neighborhood dues or the food and beverage minimum into one line. The MLS lets each listing agent enter fees their own way. Budget from the two club schedules above, not from a listing’s HOA field.

Checking flood and insurance for a Worthington Country Club home starts with the good news: every parcel sits in FEMA flood Zone X, outside the high-risk flood area. Insurance here turns on wind instead, because every home dates from the 1990s in a 160 mph design wind zone, so roof age and opening protection drive the premium.
We queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer at six points across the community and tested every one of the roughly 800 residential parcels against FEMA’s high-risk flood polygons: none falls inside a Special Flood Hazard Area, and the community sits on FIRM panel 12071C0678F, effective August 28, 2008 (FEMA NFHL, Flood Hazard Zones; FEMA NFHL, FIRM Panels, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). A lender will not require flood insurance on the map. Bonita Springs is a Community Rating System Class 5 city, worth a 25% discount on NFIP premiums (FEMA CRS Eligible Communities, April 2025).
Worthington is in Lee County evacuation Zone C and storm-surge zone 3 (LeePA Evacuation Zones layer; Lee County Emergency Management, Zone C, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). For Hurricane Ian in 2022, Lee County’s expanded Zone C order did not name Bonita Springs, and for Milton in 2024 the county ordered Zones A and B only (City of Bonita Springs, Sept. 27, 2022; Lee County, Oct. 7, 2024). We found no public record of Worthington streets flooding in Irma, Ian, Helene or Milton. Absence from the record is not proof, so ask the seller’s disclosure and the association.
The county’s building-code layer puts all of Worthington at a 160 mph design wind speed inside the wind-borne debris region (LeePA Wind layer). Nearly every home predates the first statewide Florida Building Code of March 1, 2002 (Florida Building Commission effective dates). On an estate or villa home, the owner’s roof is the owner’s insurance question; order a four-point and a wind-mitigation inspection before your inspection period ends. On a condo, the roof belongs to the association: the last full re-roofs we found in permit records were 2009 at Waterford Amberley Court, 2008 at Waterford-Worthington Way and Waterford-Cavendish Court, 2011 at Wedgewood-Sherburne and 2025 at Wedgewood-Fountain.
Florida law phases in a flood-coverage requirement for Citizens personal residential policies, reaching $400,000 and up from January 1, 2026 and all remaining residential policies from January 1, 2027 (Section 627.351, Florida Statutes, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). Citizens has said condo units insured on a unit-owner form are not required to carry flood (Citizens Property Insurance). A primary residence is not eligible for a new Citizens policy if a private insurer offers comparable coverage at a premium no more than 20% above Citizens’, so shop the private market first. Zone X flood policies are typically among the least expensive NFIP policies.
Florida insurers must offer discounts for documented wind-resistant features: roof-deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape and opening protection. On a 1990s home in a 160 mph zone, a current wind-mitigation report can move the premium enough to change which house you buy.

The Worthington Country Club rules most likely to decide a purchase are the pet limit, the leasing rules and the architectural rules. Owners may keep a dog or cat up to 25 pounds, renters may keep none, leases run at least 30 consecutive days outside February, and every exterior change needs written ARC approval.
The rules below come from the recorded Master Declaration of CC&Rs (2024), the Rules and Regulations (rev. Aug. 2025), the ARC Architectural and Aesthetic Criteria (rev. Dec. 2024) and the Rental Forms (rev. June 15, 2025), all retrieved 26 Sep 2026.
Owners may keep household animals “such as a dog or cat (weighing no more than twenty-five (25) pounds),” leashed outdoors. Tenants and guests may not keep pets. If you own a larger dog, Worthington is not the right community, and we will tell you so before you tour.
Leases must run at least 30 consecutive days, except in February, and at most one year; short-stay platforms, room rentals and subleasing are barred; units must be furnished; and a home may be leased at most four times a calendar year. The rental packet is due at least 30 days before occupancy, the neighborhood association has up to 20 days to review it and the general manager then has 7 days. Fees are a $100 master application, a $350 processing fee, a $300 to $500 Club Amenities Transfer Fee by lease length and a neighborhood fee of $150 at most associations. While a home is leased, the owner’s club privileges pass to the tenant. We found no first-year leasing ban in the master declaration, but the neighborhood declarations are not online, so check before you buy to rent.
Only licensed drivers may drive golf carts, on the course or on community roads. Owner and renter vehicles get gate barcodes; everyone else is logged in at the main gate.
Every exterior change, from paint to roof, windows, pool, generator, solar or shutters, needs written ARC approval, and approvals last one year. Estate and villa owners may add a pool within set limits (no more than 3 feet beyond the home’s width, 10-foot side and rear setbacks, 25 feet from a lake), may install a permanent generator with a buried fuel tank, and may use Bahama shutters. Exterior colors must be earth tones. No fences and no sheds.
Condos and carriage homes are on a master-key locksmith program and get basic interior pest control through their association. Estate and villa owners pay for their own pest control.
Florida disclosure law splits Worthington in two. For an estate or villa home, the seller owes you the homeowners’ association disclosure summary under section 720.401 before you sign. For a Waterford or Wedgewood condominium, section 720.401 does not apply, and chapter 718 gives you the right to the condo documents and a cancellation window instead.
A buyer of a home governed by a homeowners’ association “must be presented a disclosure summary before executing the contract for sale,” and on a resale that summary is supplied by the selling owner (Section 720.401, Florida Statutes, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). If you did not get it before signing, the contract is voidable by you with written notice within 3 days after you receive it or before closing, whichever comes first, and that right cannot be waived. On the buyer’s side of the same sale, you owe what the club charges a new owner at closing: the $12,500 capital contribution to the master association. Who pays any transfer or estoppel charges beyond that is a negotiated term of your contract, and we write it in.
Section 720.401 “does not apply to any association regulated under chapter 718,” the condominium chapter. On a condo resale, the buyer is entitled at the seller’s expense to the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the “Frequently Asked Questions and Answers” document and a governance form, and unless the buyer received them more than 7 business days before signing, the contract must let the buyer cancel within 7 business days after signing and receiving them (Section 718.503, Florida Statutes, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). Those documents are where you will find the budget, the reserves and the insurance program that the club does not publish.
Florida’s post-Surfside milestone inspection and Structural Integrity Reserve Study apply to condominium buildings three habitable stories or higher (Section 553.899; Section 718.112; Florida DBPR, Condominium Inspections, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). The county’s cost cards for all 520 Worthington condo units show every one of the 84 buildings as two stories, so neither requirement applies. Ordinary statutory reserves still apply, and owners may vote to waive or reduce them where no SIRS is required, which is exactly why a buyer should read the reserve line in the budget. Each of the five condo associations has 25 or more units, so each must post its official records on a website or app for owners (Section 718.111).
The fork above is where title agents and attorneys earn their fee. We set the contract up correctly from the start, and on any question of law we send you to a Florida real estate attorney or the closing agent; we are not your lawyer.
McGreevy and Comisar find a Worthington Country Club buyer the right home by narrowing to the association first, then working every source of inventory: the MLS, homes our team hears about before they list, and direct inquiries to owners on the streets you want. Then we tour with the roof, the dues and the resale in view.
A buyer who wants a garage and a lower-maintenance home belongs in Wedgewood, not Waterford; a buyer who wants a pool and four bedrooms belongs on the estate streets; a golfer who wants the lowest entry cost belongs in Waterford Amberley Court. We settle that first, because the association fixes your dues, your parking, your roof risk and your price band.
Domain Realty Group works across Bonita Springs, Estero and Naples, and sellers often call us before they list. When a Worthington owner is thinking about selling, we can tell our buyers early, where the seller agrees. We also write to owners on specific streets when a buyer wants a particular location, such as a golf-view villa on the east end of Southampton Drive.
Golf four days a week, winter only, a home to rent in season, a dog over 25 pounds: each changes the answer. A buyer planning to rent needs the leasing rules and the four-times-a-year limit in hand; a buyer with a larger dog should look elsewhere; a year-round buyer should weigh the roof and insurance more heavily than a seasonal one.
On every Worthington tour we check the roof date, the window and door protection, the air-conditioning age, the lanai and pool cage, and the view. On golf-course lots, 255 of the 279 platted lots, we look at where the tee boxes and cart paths sit relative to the lanai. For condos we look at the building, not only the unit.
We line up a licensed home inspector, a four-point inspection and a wind-mitigation report, and we get the association documents in front of you inside the inspection period, so the decision to proceed is made on facts.
McGreevy and Comisar negotiate for a Worthington Country Club buyer from the association’s recorded sales, not the asking price. We know what each of the nine neighborhoods has actually recorded, and we use the fee stack, the roof and the season as leverage on price, credits and terms.
Your offer starts from recorded sales in the same association and the same product, adjusted for view, size, pool, roof and updates. On a Waterford condo, where the three associations share floor plans but carry dues from $4,860 to $7,712, we point out what the higher dues cost the next buyer too.
We negotiate who pays the resale application and any transfer charges, whether furniture conveys (common in seasonal condos), the inspection period, and the closing date around the HOA approval timeline. On a home that is leased, we confirm when the tenant’s club privileges end.
Earnest money is held in escrow by the closing agent or a broker’s escrow account under the contract terms. We size the deposit to show a seller you are serious without exposing more than the contract requires, and we track every deadline that protects it.
With 44 of the last 57 Worthington sales recorded between October and May, a buyer who writes in late summer or early fall often faces fewer competing offers. We will tell you plainly when a price is fair and when there is room.

Buyer closing costs in Worthington Country Club have two parts: the usual Florida costs of a purchase and the club’s own charges. The Worthington-specific ones are the $12,500 capital contribution for a buyer new to the community and the $150 resale application at each of the five condo associations, plus prorated dues and taxes.
A financed buyer pays Florida documentary stamp tax on the promissory note at 35 cents per $100 of the loan and the nonrecurring intangible tax on the mortgage at 2 mills, which is $2 per $1,000 of the loan (Section 201.08, Florida Statutes; Section 199.133, Florida Statutes; Florida Department of Revenue, Documentary Stamp Tax, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). A cash buyer pays neither. The deed stamp of 70 cents per $100 of the price is customarily a seller cost in Lee County (Section 201.02). Add the lender’s title policy and lender fees if you finance, recording fees, the inspections and survey, and prepaid insurance.
Charge | 2026 amount | When |
|---|---|---|
Capital contribution, new owner | $12,500 | At closing |
Capital contribution, existing Worthington owner | $1,306 | At closing |
Resale application fee (five condo associations) | $150 | With the application |
Master dues | $13,058 a year, prorated | From closing |
Neighborhood dues | $2,612 to $7,712 a year, prorated | From closing |

The closing agent issues a settlement statement a few days before closing. We review every line against your contract and the club’s fee schedule with you, and we confirm the estoppel figures match the association’s.

Buyer representation after the NAR settlement works on a written agreement signed before you tour. Since August 17, 2024, agents who are MLS participants must have a written agreement with a buyer before touring a home together, and it must spell out the compensation, which is negotiable and is not set by law or by the MLS.
The National Association of REALTORS® summarizes the practice changes on its consumer page, NAR, The Facts, retrieved 26 Sep 2026. The points a Worthington buyer should know:
We explain our agreement at the first meeting, before any tour, and we state what we will be paid and how. Where it helps your position, we ask the seller to cover buyer-agent compensation as part of your offer, and we show you how that affects your net price. Florida law also defines the relationship: unless you agree otherwise in writing, a Florida licensee works with you as a transaction broker (Section 475.278, Florida Statutes, retrieved 26 Sep 2026). We will tell you which relationship you are in.
The way to see every Worthington Country Club home on the market today is through our team’s live listings site, which pulls from the Southwest Florida MLS, filtered to Worthington and to the association you want. We do not print a list here, because Worthington inventory changes weekly and a static list is stale in days.
Data updated: September 2026 (live inventory from the Southwest Florida MLS via DomainRealtyGroup.com; recorded sales from the Lee County Property Appraiser, retrieved 26 Sep 2026)
Live Worthington inventory, updated from the MLS, is on DomainRealtyGroup.com, our team’s search site. Search “Worthington” in Bonita Springs, then narrow by home type: single-family for estate and villa homes, condominium for Waterford and Wedgewood.
When you read a listing, check three things against this page. First, the association: the legal description or the street tells you which of the nine it is. Second, the HOA field: listing agents enter fees their own way, so budget from the club’s 2026 schedules instead. Third, the roof: on an estate or villa home, the listing should give a year; on a condo, the association’s roof date applies.
The best Worthington homes, especially golf-view estate homes and garage-level Wedgewood units, often go under contract fast in season. Ask Marc to set up a saved search for your association and price band, and you will get new Worthington listings and price changes by email as they hit the MLS. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or start your Worthington buyer consultation and ask for alerts.

The nine Worthington Country Club neighborhoods sort into four product families: estate homes, detached villas, Waterford condominiums and Wedgewood carriage homes. A buyer’s life, not the price alone, usually picks the family: pool and space point to the estate homes, a detached home with lower dues to the villas, and lock-and-leave living to the condos.
We publish a full guide to each neighborhood, with every recorded sale, the dues history, roofs and rules. Use these as your shortlist.
For space, a private pool and golf or lake views: 127 homes, median 2,225 heated square feet, 88% with pools. Read our Worthington Estate Homes guide.
For a detached home at a lower price and the lowest dues in Worthington: 152 homes of 1,543 to 1,998 square feet on Southampton Drive and part of Bridgeford Avenue. Read our Worthington Villas guide.
For the lowest entry price into bundled golf: 120 flats in 11 two-story buildings, $4,860 in 2026 dues, its own pool, tennis and pickleball. Read our Waterford Amberley Court guide.
For golf views from a Waterford flat: 92 units in 8 buildings, 74% of them on golf frontage per the county, with a local pool but no local tennis or pickleball. Read our Waterford-Worthington Way guide.
For the smallest Waterford association: 72 units in 6 buildings, the highest 2026 dues in Worthington at $7,712, with its own pool, tennis and pickleball. Read our Waterford-Cavendish Court guide.
For a garage and a larger condo on a lake: 116 carriage homes in 29 four-unit buildings on Sherburne Circle, 72% on lake frontage. Read our Wedgewood-Sherburne guide.
For the newest condo roofs in Worthington: 120 carriage homes in 30 buildings, re-roofed in 2025, with pool, tennis and pickleball. Read our Wedgewood-Fountain guide.
Worthington Country Club is the right place to buy if you want bundled club life at one of the lowest entry prices in Bonita Springs, a Zone X flood map and a two-minute run to I-75. It is the wrong place if you will not play or use the club, own a dog over 25 pounds, or want new construction or the beach at your door.
When we built this page, we pulled the club’s 2026 HOA Fee Schedule next to the 2024 dues sheet and found the same Waterford floor plan carrying $4,860 in dues in one association and $7,712 in another, a gap of $2,852 a year on identical square footage. On a $200,000 condo, that difference is worth more over five years than most buyers negotiate off the price. It is the reason we start every Worthington search with the association.

Why buyers choose us:
As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate across Southwest Florida, and Marc brings that market knowledge to every Worthington buyer he represents.
A Worthington Country Club specialist matters because the community’s prices, dues and rules differ by association, and a general Bonita Springs agent will price all nine as one. A specialist knows which associations re-roofed, which raised dues, which have garages and which charge a resale fee, and writes the offer accordingly.
If you’re searching for “the best buyer’s agent in Bonita Springs, Florida,” McGreevy and Comisar represents homebuyers across Estero, Bonita Springs, Naples, Fort Myers, Lee County, Collier County, and Babcock Ranch.

In Worthington that means three things in practice. We read the association before the house.

And McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, have the Bonita Springs sales record to price an offer from what homes actually record, not what they list for.

These are the questions buyers ask us most about Worthington Country Club, drawn from Google’s People Also Ask results, search suggestions and the gaps other guides leave open. Every answer matches the sections above and is current to September 2026.
Worthington homes recorded a $360,000 median across 57 qualified sales in the 12 months to August 2026, from about $200,000 for a Waterford condo to $945,000 for the top estate home. A buyer new to the community also pays a $12,500 capital contribution at closing.
Yes. Every Worthington owner is a full golf member, and the dues are part of owning the home. There is no equity fee, no initiation fee and no membership waitlist; you pay master dues of $13,058 a year and a one-time $12,500 capital contribution.
Master dues are $13,058 a year ($1,088 a month) for every residence. Neighborhood association dues add $2,612 to $7,712 a year, and every residence carries a $1,000 food and beverage minimum, for $16,670 to $21,770 a year in total.
No. Worthington charges no initiation or equity fee. A buyer new to Worthington pays a one-time $12,500 capital contribution at closing instead, or $1,306 if the buyer already owns a Worthington home.
The club’s 2026 fee schedule lists it as due from the new owner at closing. Any different split between buyer and seller is a negotiated term of the contract, and we write it in so there is no surprise at the closing table.
Worthington has four home types: 127 detached estate homes, 152 detached villas, 284 Waterford condominium flats and 236 Wedgewood carriage-home condominiums with garages, for 799 residences in all. Every home first appeared on the county tax roll between 1990 and 1995.
By recorded sales, the Waterford condos are the entry point. Waterford Amberley Court recorded a $199,500 median on 11 sales in the 12 months to August 2026, and Waterford-Cavendish Court a $200,000 median over 24 months. Waterford Amberley Court also carries the lowest condo dues, at $4,860 in 2026.
Worthington Villas Association II has the lowest 2026 neighborhood dues at $2,612 a year, or $16,670 all-in with master dues and the food and beverage minimum. Waterford-Cavendish Court has the highest at $7,712, or $21,770 all-in.
Detached. The recorded master declaration calls them “Detached Villas,” and every villa sits on its own lot, coded single family by the county. They run 1,543 to 1,998 heated square feet with 2 or 3 bedrooms.
The Wedgewood carriage homes do: Wedgewood-Sherburne and Wedgewood-Fountain units come with garages. The three Waterford associations use carports. Estate homes and villas all have attached garages.
In the 12 months to August 2026, estate and villa homes recorded a $590,000 median, Waterford condos $199,750 and Wedgewood carriage homes $380,000. By neighborhood, estate homes recorded $787,500 over 24 months and villas $537,500 over 12 months.
Condo prices are below their peak. The Waterford median fell from $337,000 in the 12 months to August 2024 to $199,750 in the 12 months to August 2026, and Wedgewood from $442,500 to $380,000. Volume held up, with 57 sales in the latest 12 months.
For a condo buyer, prices are well below their 2024 level and there is more to choose from at the lower price. The best timing inside a year is late summer and early fall, since 44 of the last 57 sales recorded between October and May.
Days on market is an MLS measure the county does not record. Over the last 12 months (closings 29 Sep 2025 to 29 Sep 2026), the Southwest Florida MLS shows a median of 99 days across 57 Worthington sales; Waterford Amberley Court’s 11 sales moved fastest at a median 52 days, while villas took 113 days across 16 sales. Marc can pull the current figure for the association you are considering.
FEMA Zone X, the minimal-hazard zone, across the whole community. We tested every one of the roughly 800 residential parcels against FEMA’s high-risk flood polygons and none falls inside one. Lenders will not require flood insurance on the map.
A lender will not require it, because every parcel is in Zone X. A single-family Citizens policyholder with a replacement cost of $400,000 or more needs flood coverage from 2026, and all Citizens residential policies from 2027. Condo unit owners on a unit-owner form are exempt.
We found no public record of Worthington streets or homes flooding in Irma, Ian, Helene or Milton. Worthington is in evacuation Zone C, which was not ordered to evacuate in Bonita Springs for Ian or Milton. Ask the seller’s disclosure and the association all the same.
No. Those rules apply to buildings three habitable stories or higher, and all 84 Worthington condo buildings are two stories on the county’s cost cards. Ordinary statutory reserves still apply, so read the reserve line in the association’s budget.
It depends on the home. An estate or villa buyer gets the section 720.401 HOA disclosure summary from the seller before signing. A Waterford or Wedgewood condo buyer gets the declaration, bylaws, rules, budget and financial statement under section 718.503, with a 7-business-day cancellation window.
Yes. Every Worthington sale needs an HOA Certificate of Approval from the neighborhood association, and the five condo associations charge a $150 resale application fee. We build that step into the closing timeline from the start.
Yes, within the rules. Leases must run at least 30 consecutive days except in February and at most one year, a home may be leased at most four times a year, units must be furnished, and each lease goes through the association and the general manager.
Yes. When a home is leased, the owner’s club privileges pass to the tenant for the lease term, and the owner pays a Club Amenities Transfer Fee of $300 to $500 depending on lease length.
Owners may keep a dog or cat up to 25 pounds, leashed outdoors. Renters and guests may not keep pets.
Yes. A private cart on the course carries a $1,875 cart trail fee per household per year, and a $350 community cart fee applies to carts on community roads. Only licensed drivers may drive carts. An annual club cart lease is $2,125.
No. Lee County’s list of special districts includes no Worthington district, so there is no CDD assessment on a Worthington tax bill.
Worthington is in Lee County taxing district 017 at 12.7970 mills for 2025, applied to taxable value. A buyer’s assessment resets after purchase, so budget from the price you pay, not the seller’s bill.
Lee County assigns students by choice within a proximity zone. The nearest zone schools are Bonita Springs Elementary, Bonita Springs Middle Center for the Arts and Bonita Springs High, all about 8 to 11 minutes from the gate. Confirm an address with Lee Schools Student Enrollment.
Bonita Beach Park is about 14 minutes by car and Southwest Florida International Airport about 28 minutes, with the I-75 on-ramp about 0.9 miles from the gate.
The master club does not have its own courts yet; new club pickleball courts are planned for 2027 to 2028. Waterford Amberley Court, Waterford-Cavendish Court, Wedgewood-Sherburne and Wedgewood-Fountain each run pickleball courts for their own owners.
Both are bundled clubs of 799 residences. Worthington’s club layer is about $255 a year cheaper ($14,058 against $14,312.79 in dues and minimums), while Highland Woods’ capital contribution is $2,500 lower ($10,000 against $12,500) and it already has six pickleball courts.
Neither. Worthington is inside the City of Bonita Springs in Lee County, ZIP 34135, between Naples to the south and Fort Myers to the north.
You are not required to have one, but a Worthington purchase has club, association and Florida disclosure steps that an experienced buyer’s agent handles for you. Since August 2024 you sign a written agreement with your agent before touring, stating the compensation.
Live Worthington inventory from the MLS is on DomainRealtyGroup.com, our team’s search site. Ask Marc to set up alerts for your association and price band so new listings reach you the day they hit the MLS.

Some Worthington buyers are selling a home first, in Southwest Florida or up north. These answers cover the sell-to-buy timing, and our Worthington seller’s guide covers the selling side in full.
It depends on your cash position and the season. Some buyers pay cash or carry two homes for a short time; others write an offer contingent on a sale. We map both paths against your numbers at the consultation.
Yes, but a sale contingency weakens an offer in season. Out of season, with fewer competing buyers, sellers accept them more often. We will tell you how a contingency is likely to land on the specific house.

No. An owner already in Worthington buying a second or replacement home pays a $1,306 capital contribution instead of $12,500, according to the club’s 2026 fee schedule.
Yes. You keep your club membership throughout. We time the two closings so the capital contribution, the approvals and the dues prorations line up.
On a resale of an estate or villa home, the selling owner supplies the section 720.401 disclosure summary before the buyer signs. On a condo resale, the seller provides the condo documents under section 718.503 instead.
Plan around the HOA Certificate of Approval and your lender. A cash purchase can close faster than a financed one; we set the closing date around the association’s approval step from the first day.
Yes. Jesse leads the sale and Marc leads the purchase, so one team times both transactions. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or Marc at (239) 287-5873.

These are the governing, financial and hazard documents a Worthington Country Club buyer should read before writing an offer, each linked to the authority that publishes it. Association budgets, reserve schedules and the neighborhood declarations are not posted publicly; a condo seller provides them under section 718.503, and the HOA office at (239) 495-2278 can direct you to the rest.
