Quail Creek Country Club is a gated community of 291 single-family homesites on about 640 acres in North Naples, with two Arthur Hills courses at an optional, member-owned club and no CDD. Sell or buy with McGreevy and Comisar.
McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, are the team Quail Creek Country Club sellers call first when they want a price built from the county’s recorded sales, and the team Quail Creek buyers call when they want to know what a home behind this gate really costs before they write an offer. Quail Creek Country Club is a gated, 291-homesite single-family golf community with an optional, member-owned club in Naples, Florida. It fills one square mile of North Naples at the north end of Valewood Drive, about a mile north of Immokalee Road and roughly six minutes off-peak from Interstate 75, and the county parcel map shows every one of its homesites touching the club’s land around two 18-hole Arthur Hills courses, The Creek and The Quail. Owning a home here does not make you a club member, and that single fact shapes the market, the buyer pool and the price of every house on the ten streets inside the gate.
This guide is built from the public record, not from listing copy. The price, tax, lot and year-built figures come from the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, and its table of qualified recorded sales; the plat structure comes from recorded legal descriptions and the county’s own GIS layers; the flood picture comes from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer; the club’s history, fees and rebuild schedule come from the club’s own published pages and archived captures; and the corporate facts come from Florida’s Division of Corporations (Sunbiz). Where a record stops, this page says so and names the document that would hold the answer. If you own here, the market section shows every qualified sale of the last twelve months, street by street. If you are buying, the living section shows what membership-optional ownership actually means week to week.
Updated September 2026 · Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty
McGreevy and Comisar sell Quail Creek Country Club homes with the county record in hand: the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008, over $900 million in personal sales, and a Quail Creek market read built sale by sale and street by street from Collier County’s recorded deeds rather than from portal estimates.
If you’re searching for the best realtor for Quail Creek Country Club, whether you’re ready to sell your Quail Creek Country Club home or buy your next one, McGreevy and Comisar is the team that delivers. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate, and Jesse and Marc together account for more than $900 million of personal sales inside that number.
Recent Quail Creek Country Club track record, from the county record rather than a portal. Working from the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, in the last 12 months we counted 20 qualified sales recorded against Quail Creek Country Club homes for the window 2025-08-29 to 2026-08-28, twenty different houses out of 287 built homes. The qualified median was $2,836,000; the count is even, so that median is the mean of the middle pair, $2,822,000 and $2,850,000. Sales ran from $1,700,000 to $5,045,000, at a median of $662.70 per square foot of county base area (middle pair $641.40 and $684.01). The top sale was $5,045,000 in December 2025 for a home on Valewood Drive completed in 2025, and the twenty sales equal an annual turnover of 7.0% of the community’s homes. Those are recorded deeds, not MLS closings, and they are labelled that way everywhere on this page. The Southwest Florida MLS layer sits beside them: 22 MLS-marketed homes closed between September 26, 2025 and August 3, 2026 at a median $2,292,000 after a median 96.5 days on market, and 4 were active on September 26, 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix).
For luxury Quail Creek Country Club sellers: premium marketing, including cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion with off-market capability when a sale needs to stay quiet. A Quail Creek listing has two gates to get through. The first is the physical one on Valewood Drive, which the property owners association has described as a private, strictly controlled entrance with 24-hour gatehouse monitoring and a mobile patrol, per the POA’s archived community page (2019). The second is the club: a showing in Quail Creek Estates does not include a self-guided visit to the clubhouse, and club tours are scheduled with the Membership office, per the club’s page for realtors. That same page carries the best line a seller here has: “Quail Creek Country Club & Quail Creek Estates are completely separate - there is no bundled or minimum Membership requirement for the homeowners.” A buyer who does not golf is not paying for golf, and a buyer who does golf gets owner priority on the club’s waitlist. Marketing a Quail Creek home means telling both buyers that story before they reach the gate, and that is the work we are built for.

Quail Creek Country Club’s eight most load-bearing facts cover what you buy, what the club asks of an owner, what homes sell for, what they cost to hold and how the community is changing. Each figure comes from the county tax roll, a state or federal record or the club’s own published pages, and each is repeated with its source further down this page.
This Quail Creek Country Club guide runs from the authority block and the market snapshot through the club’s history, the one-square-mile master plan, the fee stack, the two golf courses and the 2026 to 2027 rebuild, flood and insurance, schools, drive times and both FAQ blocks. Jump straight to the section you need from the list below, or read it in order for the full picture of what owning here involves.
Living in Quail Creek Country Club means owning a detached house on a lot of about three-quarters of an acre, behind one gate on Valewood Drive, beside two private golf courses you may or may not join. Most owners are year-round residents, the club is optional and member-owned, and the community is not age-restricted.
That optional club is the fact that separates Quail Creek from most Naples golf communities of its size, and it changes how a buyer should shop. The house, the POA and the property tax are the fixed costs of living here; the club is a second, separate decision with its own price, its own queue and its own calendar. The subsections below take each piece in the order a buyer meets it.
You buy a fee-simple, detached single-family home on a platted lot, and nothing else is on offer. The county’s site address points count exactly 291 single-family homesites inside the community, and on the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, 287 of them carry a house. There is no condominium, villa, coach-home or townhouse use code anywhere in the section, and a 2010 resident column in the Naples Daily News put it plainly: “There are no condominiums, villas or other multi-unit structures in the Estates.” The practical consequence is that Florida’s condominium milestone-inspection and structural reserve rules do not reach any home here; the county’s milestone inspection map shows no records inside the community.
Each lot sits against club land. A geometry test on the county’s parcel layer shows every platted lot sharing a boundary with a club-owned golf tract, and those tracts include the lakes and native buffers as well as the fairways, so the view out the back of a given house may be grass, water or preserve. That is why the club and its rebuild matter even to an owner who never joins: the club owns what you look at.
The residential side has its own name. The club calls it “Quail Creek Estates” and the legal association is the Quail Creek Property Owners Association, Inc., filed on June 29, 1981, per its Sunbiz record. Every record owner of a residential lot is a member; POA membership is appurtenant to the lot and cannot be declined, per the association’s 1998 Amended and Restated Articles. There are no sub-associations: one POA governs all 291 lots. If you are still choosing an agent to walk you through a community like this, start with our best real estate agents in Naples, compared on the public record.
The club says it in one sentence on its page for realtors: “Quail Creek Country Club & Quail Creek Estates are completely separate - there is no bundled or minimum Membership requirement for the homeowners.” The same page adds that “70% of our Members live outside of Quail Creek Estates” and that the club does not offer resident or non-resident memberships because “the joining fees & dues are the same.” The wording has been stable for years: the same text appears in the club’s September 2021 capture and its December 2024 capture.
Three consequences follow, and buyers coming from a mandatory-membership club often miss all three.
The fee stack section of this page carries the club’s full initiation history from 2019 to 2026. For a buyer comparing Quail Creek against a mandatory-membership neighbor, the one-line version is that Quail West, directly north, says on its membership page that “House membership is the minimum requirement for all Quail West members,” and our Quail West guide walks through that model.
If you want the club, plan the timing before you close. As of September 23, 2026, the club’s membership page lists the Golf Waitlist category as “Not Currently Available” and does not state whether Class A Golf is open; the Class A page itself returned an error that month. The dated record shows how the queue has moved: the club published “Currently Full / Golf Waitlist Memberships are Available” in a March 2025 capture and “Class A Golf Memberships are currently available!” in a June 2025 capture.
The other categories are simpler. Social/Sports membership brings social and dining privileges, fitness, spa and pool, tennis, pickleball and bocce, and a limited golf allowance of six rounds in season, per the club’s Social/Sports page. A Young Professional Golf category also appears on the club’s About page, without published terms. Members range in age from 29 to 99, with an average of about 60, per the club’s membership page.
Visiting is by appointment. Club tours are scheduled with the Membership office; off-season (May to September) tours run Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and in season (October to April) Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., per the club’s directions page. Showing a home in the Estates does not permit a walk-through of the club, per the realtor page. A buyer who wants both should book the club tour the same day as the house showings.
Quail Creek has one way in. From Immokalee Road, half a mile east of Interstate 75 Exit 111, you turn north onto Valewood Drive, drive about a mile through Quail Creek Village and a traffic circle, and reach the Quail Creek gate; the club is “at the end of Valewood on the right,” per the club’s directions page. The county’s road centerlines show Valewood as the only street that crosses the community’s boundary; there is no entrance from Logan Boulevard on the east side.
The POA has described the entrance as “private, strictly controlled,” with “24-hour monitoring for access to the community plus a mobile patrol,” per its archived About page (2019). A 2010 resident column in the Naples Daily News described a POA “staff of 19 full and part-time employees” maintaining “the common grounds, roads, lighting, and entrance gate,” with a roaming patrol car and perimeter fencing. Both are dated. No 2026 source states current gate staffing, so if round-the-clock staffing matters to your decision, ask the POA for its current security budget line and access policy during your inspection period.
The POA’s articles give it the job of owning or maintaining the roads, “gate house areas” and common areas in Section 17, and let it “enter into agreements with Quail Creek Country Club” on roads, drainage, water and sewer and the gatehouse, per the 1998 Amended and Restated Articles. The terms of any such agreement are not public. The POA’s on-site office is at 4886 Pond Apple Drive South, per its state HOA reporting record.
Three neighbors share part of the name, and buyers mix them up constantly. The safest test is the street and the plat.
If the address is on… | It is in… | Housing | Club |
|---|---|---|---|
Pond Apple Dr (N, S, E or W), White Violet Dr, Silver Fox Dr, Bald Cypress Ln, Coco Plum Ln, Oak Leaf Dr, Rosewood Ln, Snowberry Ln, Butterfly Orchid Ln, or Valewood Dr at 12820 and above | Quail Creek Country Club (Quail Creek Estates) | 100% single-family | Quail Creek Country Club, optional |

Cortland Way, Tamworth Ct, Groveland Ter and the Quail West plats | Quail West, directly north | Its own planned unit development (QUAIL WEST, about 862 acres) | Quail West, house membership the minimum for residents |
Sources: the county’s parcel layer and PUD layer; Quail Village Golf Club; Quail West; the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary.
A legal description settles it: Quail Creek homes are recorded on “Quail Creek, Unit One” through “Unit Four,” “Quail Creek Block Z” or the “Replat of Lot 1, Block G”; Quail Creek Village homes are recorded on Quail Creek Village plats inside a separate planned unit development called QUAIL II. Quail Creek Village also has its own master association, the Quail Creek Village Foundation, Inc., per its Sunbiz record. There is no street called “Quail Creek Drive” in either community.
The median single-family lot is 0.77 acre, and lots run from 0.59 to 1.46 acres, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary. That is “three-quarter-acre-plus” in plain terms: the roll’s largest lot is under an acre and a half and its median is under 0.8 acre. The biggest lots sit on Rosewood Lane, whose sixteen homesites have a median of about 1.03 acres on the county parcel layer.
The houses are large and mostly original to the community’s first two decades. The median main residence has 4,075 square feet of county base area and 5,085 square feet of county adjusted area, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary. Those are the county’s own measures, not the living area in a listing, and the two are measured differently. The median year built is 1989: 163 homes date from the 1980s, 92 from the 1990s, 21 from the 2000s, 5 from the 2010s and 6 from the 2020s. So 255 of 287 houses, about 89%, were built before 2000, and 11 have been built in 2010 or later, three of them completed in 2025.
For a buyer, that age profile is the whole inspection conversation. A 1980s or 1990s house was built under the rules in force before the 2002 Florida Building Code, and its roof age, window protection and wind-mitigation features are what an insurer will price. The master plan section below walks through the build eras in detail.
The county tax roll answers the question every buyer asks and few pages can: how many of these houses are someone’s primary home? On the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, 213 of 287 homes (74.2%) carry a Florida homestead exemption, and 257 owners (89.5%) use a Florida mailing address. Among the 30 owners with mailing addresses outside Florida, Ontario and Wisconsin lead with five each, followed by Illinois with three.
Three in four homes, in other words, are claimed as a Florida primary residence, which suggests many neighbors are home outside the season. The census tract that contains Quail Creek reads differently, with 33.7% of its housing units classed as seasonal and a median age of 67.8 in the American Community Survey 2020 to 2024 tables, per Census Reporter. Those are tract figures across about 3,876 housing units, not Quail Creek figures, and they measure something different (seasonal housing units, not homestead exemptions), so read them as context for the area rather than as a comparison with Quail Creek.
Quail Creek is not a 55-plus community. No age designation appears in any county, state or club record, and the club itself describes members from 29 to 99 and a mix of “retired individuals and young families” on its membership page. The zoned public schools for every Quail Creek street in 2026-27 are Veterans Memorial Elementary, North Naples Middle and Aubrey Rogers High, each graded A in 2026 by the state, per the district’s address lookup and its 2026 accountability brief. The schools section of this page carries enrollments and drive times.
Nor is it only for golfers. A non-member owner has the gate, the lot, the lake or fairway view and the POA’s common grounds; the courts and pool are club facilities. The nearest public alternative is Veterans Community Park, with 14 pickleball courts, tennis, bocce and a dog park, per Collier County Parks.
For a member household, the club’s pages describe a week that runs on golf and courts, with dining in between.
For a non-member household, the week is a quiet, gated North Naples neighborhood of large lots, with the Publix at Pelican Strand about nine minutes from the clubhouse off-peak, per OSRM routing to the store’s location page.
The courses carry the wildlife most owners mention first. A 2010 resident column in the Naples Daily News described it as “not unusual to see eagles, otters, foxes, the occasional alligator.” In 2020 about 200 bobwhite quail were released on the club grounds in a resident-led project that raised $9,000 in four months, per the Naples Daily News. The club describes both courses as Audubon certified on its golf overview. The lakes are part of the club’s golf tracts, so their use is the club’s to set; treat every lake in Southwest Florida as alligator habitat.
Quail Creek’s covenants exist; they are simply not published. The POA’s former website listed an Amended and Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants, 2015 Bylaws dated May 26, 2015, a Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration and Architectural Planning Criteria dated September 22, 2021, per its 2022 archived home page, but the documents themselves were not archived. The POA-hosted community page states the one rule that matters most to a renovator: “Any exterior modifications to homes, including paint colors, landscaping changes, and structural additions, must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee.”
Leasing minimums, pet rules and any buyer-approval step are not published anywhere we could find. The history of the covenants shows they are enforced: in 1989 a Florida appeals court upheld the POA’s recorded rule allowing one sign per lot, “not more than two feet square,” in Quail Creek Property Owners Ass’n v. Hunter, per CourtListener. Whether that rule survives unchanged today is not public. Ask for the full governing documents and the POA’s rules and regulations as soon as a contract is signed, and read the leasing and architectural sections before your inspection period ends.
The fee stack section of this page carries every line in full. The short version, so the rest of this section reads clearly:
Cost | Amount | Mandatory? | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
POA assessment | Not published | Yes, for every lot | 1998 Articles (Sunbiz); amount in the POA budget or an estoppel certificate |
Community development district | None | n/a | Florida Commerce special-district list; Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary |
Non-ad valorem charges on the tax bill | $0.00 on all 287 homes | n/a | Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary |
Property tax, median | $11,722.88 overall; $9,544.85 homesteaded; $15,216.33 non-homestead | Yes | Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary |
Club Social/Sports initiation | $40,000 plus tax | No | Club Social/Sports page, September 2026 |
Club Class A Golf initiation | $150,000, last published 2025 | No | Club Membership Guide 2025 |
Club monthly dues | Not published | Members only | Club membership pages |
Sources linked above: the 1998 Articles, the Florida Commerce special-district list, the club’s Social/Sports page and its Membership Guide 2025.
Two lines in that table deserve a buyer’s attention. The POA assessment is real and mandatory, but its amount is not public; the association’s adopted budget or an estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes is where it appears, and we will not guess at it. And the property tax line is the seller’s bill, not yours: on the same roll, non-homestead homes pay a median of $15,216.33 against $9,544.85 for homesteaded homes, so a buyer should budget from the price paid and the county’s assessment after the sale, not from the listing’s tax line.
Daily life outside the gate is short drives, measured off-peak with OSRM routing; in season, Immokalee Road, I-75 and US 41 run longer.
Quail Creek has no marina, docks or beach club; residents use the county and state-park beaches. The drive-time section of this page carries the full table.
Every home here carries the same POA, the same optional club and the same gate, but not the same price: the last twelve months ran from $1,700,000 to $5,045,000, and the street, the lot, the view and the year built moved each sale more than any headline median can show.

Quail Creek Country Club homes recorded 20 qualified sales in the twelve months to August 28, 2026, at a median of $2,836,000 and a range of $1,700,000 to $5,045,000, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary. That is a median of $662.70 per square foot of county base area and a 7.0% annual turnover.
Data updated: September 2026
Every figure in this section, unless it is labelled otherwise, comes from one source: the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, in files dated August 29, 2026, including the roll’s own table of recorded sales. We did not use a portal, an automated valuation or a listing site for any of it.
Four definitions govern how to read the tables:
The community is one market in the county record. All 287 built homes are detached single-family houses on six recorded plats, so unlike a community that mixes condominiums and estate homes, a Quail Creek median describes a house that exists here.
Measure | Value |
|---|---|
Qualified sales, improved single-family | 20 (20 different homes) |
Median sale price | $2,836,000 (mean of the middle pair, $2,822,000 and $2,850,000) |
Range | $1,700,000 to $5,045,000 |
Median price per square foot of county base area | $662.70 (mean of the middle pair, $641.40 and $684.01) |

Twenty sales is a real sample for a 287-home community, large enough that a median means something and small enough that every sale still matters. The spread is the first thing to read: the most expensive house sold for almost exactly three times the least expensive, $5,045,000 against $1,700,000, and the next section shows why.

Source: Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary; qualified sales of improved single-family homes, 2025-08-29 to 2026-08-28. The sale extract carries a lot size for the Rosewood Lane sale only; community and street lot medians are in the master plan section. House numbers are omitted on purpose.
Three patterns stand out. Thirteen of the twenty sales were recorded between October and March, the months when most buyers are in Naples, and none in April or July. The most recent qualified sale in the window is June 25, 2026, so the summer’s closings, if any, have not reached the qualified table yet. And the five highest prices spread across Valewood Drive, Butterfly Orchid Lane and two legs of Pond Apple Drive, in houses built from 1990 to 2025, which tells you that no single street or era owns the top of this market.

Half the market sits between $2 million and $3 million, which is where an updated or well-kept original 1980s or 1990s house on a standard lot trades. The four sales under $2 million were all in homes built from 1982 to 1989, and the lowest of them, $1,700,000 on Valewood Drive for a 1982 house, sits only $175,000 above the highest vacant-lot sale since 2020, on our arithmetic. That narrow gap is what a teardown market looks like, and the teardown subsections below explain it. The six sales at $3 million and above are the renovated, rebuilt or newer houses and the larger lots.

Pond Apple Drive is the perimeter loop and holds about a third of all homesites, so it carries about a third of the sales. Its three East-leg sales, a median of $3,500,000 on three sales, were the strongest cluster of the year on our arithmetic, and all three are houses from 1986 to 1994, which says the East leg’s lots and positions, not new construction, did the work. White Violet Drive, the largest single-name street with 34 homesites, recorded no qualified sale in the window, and its most recent entry in the top-sales list is a $4,250,000 sale in May 2025. Street medians on one to three sales are not market rates, and we do not publish one; the prices are the data.
Main residence built | T12 sales | Median | Range |

1980s | 10 | $2,532,000 (pair $2,289,000 and $2,775,000) | $1,700,000 to $2,925,000 |

The clearest line in the record: every one of the ten 1980s houses that sold in the last twelve months sold for less than $3 million, while four of the six 1990s houses sold for more. The 1990s median is about $668,000 above the 1980s median on our arithmetic, on samples of ten and six. The 2000s row is only three sales and swings from $2,225,000 to $4,200,000, and the single 2020s sale is the rebuilt Valewood Drive house discussed below. Read the pattern as direction, not as a rule: a fully renovated 1986 house can outsell a tired 1998 one, and the county’s year-built field does not know the difference.

The 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025 medians are odd counts, so each is an actual sale. The 2024 median is the midpoint of the two middle sales, and the 2026 year-to-date median is the sixth of eleven sales. Five full calendar years of qualified sales total 102, an average of about 20 a year on our arithmetic, which is the pace the latest twelve months matched exactly.
Step | Median sale price change | Median per square foot of county base area change |
|---|---|---|
2021 to 2022 | up about 35.6% | up about 50.6% |
2022 to 2023 | up 40.0% | up about 19.1% |

That is a repricing in two steps, not a drift. In 2021 the median Quail Creek house recorded at $1,475,000; by 2023 it was $2,800,000, and the price per square foot of county base area had moved from $374.29 to $671.42. Sales fell at the same time, from 27 to 15, which is what a market does when owners stop listing: fewer homes changed hands at far higher prices.
2024 looks like a step back, and on price per foot it was, from $671.42 to $598.53. But 2024 was also the thinnest year in the record, 14 sales, and a median of 14 sales can move by six figures on the mix of houses that happen to sell. By 2025 the count was back to 23 and the per-foot median, $678.29, was the highest in the record. The latest twelve months sit at $662.70, within about 2% of that level. For a seller, the honest reading is that Quail Creek prices per foot of county base area have held roughly flat since 2023 at a level about 80% above 2021, with 2024 as a thin-sample dip.
The county measures each home’s base area, and that is the only denominator in the per-square-foot figures on this page. The median Quail Creek main residence has 4,075 square feet of county base area and 5,085 square feet of county adjusted area, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, so the county’s adjusted measure runs about 25% above its base measure on our arithmetic. Neither is the living area an agent enters in a listing.
Two practical rules follow. First, a Quail Creek seller who sees “$662.70 a foot” and multiplies it by a listing’s living area will get a number the county record does not support; the median applies only to county base area. Second, per-foot figures from different sources are never restated against each other on this page. The MLS layer below uses MLS living area, so its per-foot median of $552.51 sits in its own table with its own label.
For scale only: the T12 median of $662.70 applied to the community’s median base area of 4,075 square feet gives about $2.70 million on our arithmetic, close to the $2,836,000 median sale. That agreement is a sign the two medians describe the same typical house; it is not a valuation of any home.
The county record carries a second market inside Quail Creek: land. Since 2020 the roll records seven qualified vacant-lot sales, from $1,195,000 to $1,525,000, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary. These are lots sold without a livable house, and in a community platted and built out in the 1980s, that means teardowns.
The arithmetic is what a seller of an original house needs to understand. At $1,195,000 to $1,525,000, the land alone has sold for roughly 42% to 54% of the latest twelve-month median sale on our arithmetic. The lowest improved sale of the last twelve months, $1,700,000 for a 1982 house on Valewood Drive, was only $175,000 above the top of that lot range. When the house on a lot adds so little to the land price, the buyer pool for that home includes builders and rebuilders, and the listing has to be marketed to them as well as to families looking to move in.
The county’s building layers show the rebuild wave from above. Of the 287 built homes, 11 carry a year built of 2010 or later on the roll, including three completed in 2025, and the county’s building footprint layers suggest roughly 20 major rebuilds or large additions since 2000. A handful of lots were coded vacant on the 2026 roll, and the county’s 2025 footprints show new homes rising on at least two of them. We do not publish the addresses of vacant lots.
One lot on Valewood Drive tells the whole teardown story in three recorded sales, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary:
Date | What sold | Price |
|---|---|---|
2023 | Vacant lot | $1,338,800 |
2024 | Same vacant lot | $1,400,000 |
December 22, 2025 | Same lot with a 2025-built home | $5,045,000 |
The lot gained about 4.6% in a year as land, then sold with a new house for about 3.6 times its 2024 land price, on our arithmetic. The $3,645,000 difference between the 2024 land sale and the December 2025 home sale covers the house, the carrying costs and whatever margin the builder or owner earned; the record does not break it down, and we will not guess at a construction cost. What it does establish is the ceiling a new house on a standard Quail Creek lot reached in the latest twelve months: the highest qualified sale of the window.
For an owner of an original house, that sale works in both directions. It sets a visible top of market that a buyer of a renovated house will be measured against. And it confirms that the land under an unrenovated house has a floor of its own, near the $1.2 million to $1.5 million vacant-lot range. Pricing an original Quail Creek house means knowing both numbers.
Rank | Date | Street | Sale price | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|

The record high, $5,620,000 on Silver Fox Drive, came in March 2022, at the height of the repricing, and has not been passed since. The five sit on five different streets, and none of them is on the Pond Apple loop. The market’s top end is set by the house and the lot, not the street name.
The county’s just value is its mass-appraisal estimate of market value for tax purposes. It is not a sale price and not an appraisal of any single home, but it covers every parcel every year. On the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, the median just value of a Quail Creek single-family home is $1,720,839, and the 287 homes together carry $539,754,112 of just value, an average of about $1.88 million a home on our arithmetic.
Set that against the T12 median sale of $2,836,000 and the recorded sales run about 65% above the median just value, on our arithmetic. Part of the gap is timing, because just value is an assessment on a lag. Part is selection, because the houses that sell skew toward renovated and rebuilt homes. The practical rule for both sides is the same. Just value is a floor for conversation, not a price. A seller should never list from it, and a buyer should never offer from it.
Period | Qualified sales | Share of today’s 287 homes |
|---|---|---|
2021 | 27 | about 9.4% |
2022 | 23 | about 8.0% |
2023 | 15 | about 5.2% |
2024 | 14 | about 4.9% |

Seven market sales per hundred homes a year is a low-turnover community. Three in four houses are homesteaded, most owners live here year-round, and there is no rental pool of condominiums to churn the count. For a seller, that scarcity is leverage: roughly 20 recorded sales a year spread over ten streets is a thin pace, and on September 26, 2026 only 4 homes were listed for sale on the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix. For a buyer, it means patience. The home you want on the street you want may come up once a year or less.
Measure | 2026 preliminary roll |
|---|---|
Median total property tax, all 287 homes | $11,722.88 |
Median, homesteaded homes (213) | $9,544.85 |
Median, non-homestead homes (74) | $15,216.33 |
Non-ad valorem assessments | $0.00 on every home |
Millage: county | 3.9293 |
Millage: school | 4.1470 |

Quail Creek is in unincorporated Collier County, so there is no city millage, and the county line of 3.9293 is the countywide rate plus the unincorporated general fund, matching the county’s FY2026 adopted budget. There is no community development district and no special assessment on any Quail Creek tax bill; the POA assessment is billed by the association, not on the tax bill. On the non-homestead homes, ad valorem tax runs about 0.94% of just value at the median.
The homestead gap is the number a buyer needs. A non-homestead Quail Creek home pays a median of $15,216.33, about $5,671 more than a homesteaded one, on our arithmetic. The seller’s tax bill is not the buyer’s tax bill, and a buyer should budget from the price paid and the county’s assessment after the sale.
For a seller, four things follow. First, price against your own house’s era and condition, not the community median: every 1980s house that sold in the last twelve months sold under $3 million, and both sales above $4 million in that window were 2000s or newer houses. Second, outside the thin 2024 sample, the price per foot of county base area has held between about $660 and $680 since 2023, so a 2023 neighbor’s sale is still a usable anchor while a 2021 or 2022 sale is not. Third, if your house is original and your lot is standard, the vacant-lot sales set a floor near $1.2 million to $1.5 million and your buyer pool includes rebuilders. Fourth, timing matters: thirteen of the last twenty sales recorded between October and March, and the Creek course reopens rebuilt on December 1, 2026, per the club’s strategic planning page, right at the start of the season buyers are here.
For a buyer, the record says the median house costs about 80% more per foot of county base area than it did in 2021, and has held there. Supply is thin, 20 sales a year, so the right house is a question of patience and preparation: POA documents, flood zone and elevation certificate, and roof and window history before you write.
The county record shows what sold and at what price; the Southwest Florida MLS layer answers the questions a deed cannot. In Matrix, Development Name QUAIL CREEK, 22 homes marketed through the MLS closed between September 26, 2025 and August 3, 2026. Their median sold price was $2,292,000 (range $1,250,000 to $4,200,000), the median time on market was 96.5 days (7 of the 22 sold in 30 days or fewer), and the median sale-to-list ratio was 92.10% of the final list price, with none at or above list. The median sold price per square foot of MLS living area was $552.51, a different denominator from the county base area used above, so the two are never restated against each other. On September 26, 2026, 4 homes were active at a median list price of $3,747,000 and a median 204.5 days on market, about 2.2 months of supply against 1.8 MLS closings a month (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix). The MLS median sits below the county median because the two sets differ: the county file covers recordings from August 29, 2025 to August 28, 2026 and includes sales recorded without an MLS listing, which the MLS set leaves out.
We publish only MLS figures we have pulled ourselves, with their window and date. Treat any days-on-market or list-to-sale number you see elsewhere for Quail Creek as unverified until you know both.
An automated portal estimate is a model’s guess at what a house might sell for. A recorded, qualified sale is what a buyer actually paid, filed with the county and graded by the county as an arm’s-length transaction. In a community of 287 custom houses on lots from 0.59 to 1.46 acres, built from the early 1980s to 2025, a model has very little to work with: twenty sales a year, spread over ten streets and five decades of construction, with teardowns and rebuilds mixed in. That is why a portal’s number can sit well away from what a Quail Creek house actually records at, in either direction.
Our rule is the one this section follows: use the county record for what sold and at what price, add the MLS layer for how long it took and how close to asking it closed, and price a specific Quail Creek house against the specific sales that look like it.

Quail Creek Country Club began in 1973 as a plan called Corkscrew Creek Country Club, was incorporated under its current name on June 27, 1980, opened The Creek on December 7, 1981 and The Quail on November 27, 1982, and passed from its developer to its members in January 1984.
That history still shapes what a buyer gets today: the two Arthur Hills routings, the one-square-mile footprint, the separation between the club and the homes, and the club’s habit of rebuilding itself every decade or so. The subsections below run in order.
“The story of Quail Creek Country Club began in 1973, when the initial vision for what was then called Corkscrew Creek Country Club took shape. Bill Vines was brought in to lead the land planning, while renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills was selected to design two championship courses,” per the club’s history page, And So It Begins.
Two choices made in that first plan are still visible from any back yard in Quail Creek. The community was planned as two full 18-hole courses rather than one, and the homesites were laid out around them, so that every platted lot now touches club-owned golf land, per the county’s parcel layer. Why the name changed from Corkscrew Creek to Quail Creek before incorporation is not recorded in any source we found, and we will not guess at it.
The club’s history names Bob Hardy as one of its three first officers, per And So It Begins. Hardy is the name the record attaches to the development itself. “The club was developed by Robert Hardy, along with the gated community Quail Creek Estates,” the Naples Daily News reported in 2011.
His obituary, published after his death on February 16, 2013, at 84, gives the arc: born in Lambeth, Ontario, “The first 25 years of his career were spent building roads and construction projects in often remote regions of Ontario and the next 25 were spent developing golf courses and communities in SW Florida.” It credits him with Quail Creek, Longshore Lake, Quail Creek Village, Sherwood, Cypress Woods and Quail West, per the obituary. An oral history held by the Jewish Historical Society of Southwest Florida adds that “An Ontario road builder Bob Hardy … had some vision of building golf courses here during the early 70’s,” that a group of Canadian investors backed him, that “the first one was Quail Creek up on Immokalee Road,” and that the Hardy family built 11 golf courses in total, per the Florence Hertzman story.
That lineage, as his obituary tells it, explains part of the map. The obituary lists Quail Creek Village to the south, Longshore Lake to the southeast and Quail West to the north alongside Quail Creek, which is why three neighboring “Quail” communities share a name fragment and a corridor but not a plat, an association or a club. The corporate entity that handed the club to its members in 1984 is not named in any public record we found; a later company, Quail Creek Developments Corporation, Inc., filed in 1986, appears as a co-appellant in the 1989 sign-covenant case, per CourtListener.
Quail Creek Country Club, Inc. was filed as a Florida not-for-profit corporation on June 27, 1980, document 753153, at 13300 Valewood Drive, per its Sunbiz record. The club’s own summary card and its “Est. 1981” logo line use its opening year; the state filing settles the incorporation date.
A year and two days later, on June 29, 1981, the Quail Creek Property Owners Association, Inc. was filed as a separate corporation, document 758944, per its Sunbiz record. Two corporations from the start is the root of the separation a buyer sees today: the club and the homes were never one entity, which is why membership in one does not require membership in the other. In August 1982 the club received federal recognition as a 501(c)(7) social club, per its IRS filing record.
“Just a year later, on December 7, 1981, the Club opened and the Creek Course welcomed its first players,” per And So It Begins. The Creek became, and remains, the club’s championship course: par 72, 6,836 yards from the Black tees, with water on 14 of its 18 holes, per the club’s golf page and its Creek scorecard. The residential plat around its first holes, Quail Creek Unit One on Valewood Drive, White Violet Drive and Butterfly Orchid Lane, holds the community’s first homesites, as the master plan section below explains.
The second course followed eleven months later. “The opening of the Quail Course followed on November 27, 1982 … dining was served by Executive Chef ‘Frenchy’ in the Skylight Grill Room inside the Tennis Complex, as the ground breaking of the main clubhouse did not take place until December 17, 1982,” per And So It Begins. The Quail is the shorter, “player-friendly” course, par 72 and 6,481 yards from the Black tees, per the club’s golf overview and Quail scorecard.
For its first two seasons, then, Quail Creek was a golf club without a clubhouse, feeding its members from a grill room in the tennis building.
“The Clubhouse was completed in December of 1983 and opened in grand fashion on January 18, 1984, with the Grand Opening Ball … held over two consecutive nights to accommodate more than 700 attendees,” per And So It Begins. County building records on the club’s main parcel carry a clubhouse building dated 1983, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, which agrees with the club’s date. The clubhouse has been renovated several times since; its current size is not consistently published, and we do not print one.
“Later that same month … Quail Creek transitioned from developer ownership to become a fully member-owned club,” per And So It Begins. The club’s then managing director told the Naples Daily News in 2011 that the club “transferred without any cost to members.”
Member ownership since January 1984 is the fact the club leads with today, describing itself as “one of the original member-owned private clubs in Naples” on its About page. For a buyer, it means the club’s board, elected by its members, sets its fees, its capital projects and its membership rules; no developer holds a stake, and no developer can sell the course.
On December 16, 1985, the club registered two Florida trademarks, “QUAIL CREEK” and “QUAIL CREEK LOGO,” the latter described as a quail over a golf green and palm, encircled by leaves, per the state’s trademark record. It is a small entry, but it is one reason a Quail Creek Country Club name is guarded, and one reason buyers should read a listing’s legal description rather than its marketing name.
The club spent the rest of the 1980s filling out. It added the Quail Room off the main lobby, the Garden Room bar and lounge, and a separate pro facility for golf and court sports, and by 1989 it had reached 580 golf members and 350 social members, with 118 golfers on a waiting list, per the club’s Growth and Expansion history. In 2006 the club still described golf membership as “restricted to 580 (290 per 18 holes),” per an archived membership page. The club does not publish a current membership cap.
The same years produced the community’s best-known covenant case. On February 3, 1989, Florida’s Second District Court of Appeal enforced the POA’s recorded declaration, whose paragraph 13 allowed one sign per lot, “not more than two feet square,” carrying the owner’s name and address, in Quail Creek Property Owners Ass’n v. Hunter, 538 So. 2d 1288, per CourtListener. The lesson for a buyer has not changed since 1989: the covenants here are recorded and enforced.
The land-use record changed in the same period. Collier County rezoned the course and club land to its Golf Course (GC) district by petition R-89-27, adopted as Ordinance 90-12 on February 13, 1990, and petition R-90-29, adopted as Ordinance 91-3 on January 8, 1991, per the zoning notes on the county’s zoning layer. A further 3.2-acre piece followed by R-99-5, Ordinance 99-60, on September 14, 1999. The master plan section below explains what GC zoning means for the land behind every homesite.
At the same time the club began rebuilding its courses for the first time: a Creek Course renovation was completed in 1991, followed by a similar enhancement to the Quail, per the club’s Elevating Operations history.
In the late 1990s the club adopted a formal course Improvement Plan and formed a Long-Range Planning Committee, per its Elevating Excellence history. The homeowners were reorganizing too. The POA adopted Amended and Restated Articles at a members’ meeting on April 6, 1998, reconvened on May 4, and filed them on June 1, 1998, per the filed articles. Those articles remain the clearest public statement of what the POA does: roads, gatehouse areas, common areas, the water-management system, drainage easements and street lights, “architectural control regulation of all single family residences,” and assessments secured by liens.
The club’s next major project was indoors. A major clubhouse renovation added the Greenside Grille and a Tennis Pro Shop in the early 2000s, around the club’s 25th anniversary, per its Renovations and Momentum history; the Naples Daily News dated it to 2001. Archived club pages from the period describe a “newly redesigned clubhouse,” per an archived clubhouse page. The Greenside Grille is still the club’s casual dining room today.
The second full rebuild of the courses ran from June 2013 to June 2015. Led by superintendent Kevin F. Leo, with Arthur Hills on site to approve the changes, it installed new Toro irrigation, regrassed tees, fairways and rough in Celebration bermudagrass and the greens in TifEagle, added native areas and restored greens and bunkers to their original sizes, per the club’s 2015 release. The same project expanded the Greenside Grille with a fire pit, a peninsula bar and a house “Quail Ale,” and added a sports lounge and two bocce courts; the release credits financing to Stonegate Bank of Naples. All 36 holes reopened on November 21, 2014, per the club’s archived renovation page.
Irma made landfall on Marco Island on September 10, 2017, as a Category 3 hurricane, per the National Weather Service. At Quail Creek the damage was wind and rain, not surge: 13.5 inches had already fallen in late August, about 4,000 trees came down, every bunker had to be rebuilt, the first nine holes reopened 36 days after cleanup began on September 11, and the second nine two weeks later, per GCM, the superintendents’ association magazine. Both courses were fully open again on November 28, 2017.
The storm cost the club a national event. Quail Creek had been selected to host the 2017 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur, October 7 to 12, and the USGA relocated it after “extensive flooding and damage sustained by Quail Creek’s course and clubhouse,” per the USGA. The USGA then awarded the club the 2020 U.S. Women’s Four-Ball, April 25 to 29, 2020, per its October 2018 release, and that championship was canceled for COVID-19, per the USGA’s March 2020 update. No public record we found describes flooding inside any Quail Creek home in Irma or any later storm.
Planning for a new sports and wellness building began in 2015. Members approved the $18.5 million project in 2018, demolition of the old tennis and fitness buildings began that year, and the Sports Center and Spa was completed in 2019, “an $18.5 million project that consolidated fitness, wellness, tennis, spa, and dining facilities under one roof,” per the club’s Decade of Wellness history. County building records on the club parcel carry a building dated 2019 and tennis-court slabs recorded in 2019 and 2020, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary. Inside it today is the 5,000-square-foot fitness center described in the living section above, per the club’s lifestyle page.
The course rebuild now under way took six years to reach a shovel, and the club has published the whole timeline on its strategic planning page:
Date | Step |
|---|---|
Late 2019 | Architect Gordy Lewis hired for a golf master plan |
Spring 2020 | Member survey |
Late 2022 to 2023 | Long-range plan re-evaluated |
November 2023 to March 2024 | Architect interviews |
April 2024 | Ron Forse of Forse Design selected |
August 2024 | Forse on the property |
December 2024 | Town halls; members weigh a new clubhouse, a resort-style pool or the courses, and choose the courses |
March 2025 | Membership vote approves the capital project |
July 2025 | Clarke Construction selected |
August 1, 2025 | Nutt Irrigation selected |

The club’s December 12, 2025 release put the cost at $26 million for a wall-to-wall renovation of all 36 holes, with every green rebuilt in TifEagle and a redesigned practice facility, and quoted Forse: “This is not just a renovation, it’s more of a reimagining,” per The Golf Wire. It is the largest course project in the club’s history. The club has not published how the project is funded.
The same years were busy elsewhere. About 200 bobwhite quail were released on the grounds in 2020, per the Naples Daily News; a separate Quail Creek Country Club Foundation, Inc. was filed on May 20, 2020, per its Sunbiz record; and the Greenside Grille, kitchen and bocce facility were renovated, per the club’s Vision Renewal history. Demand showed in the price of joining: the club’s published Class A Golf initiation went from $25,000 in an August 2020 capture to $150,000 in its Membership Guide 2025, and the club reached a waitlist between October 2021 and January 2022.
One land-use dispute has run alongside the rebuild. In 2024 the club installed tall ball-containment poles near the tenth hole and the driving range, and the question of how tall such barriers may be became a countywide code amendment, per the Naples Daily News. In 2026 the county’s Development Services Advisory Committee declined both competing private proposals and asked staff to write a countywide standard, per the June 3, 2026 agenda packet; the Planning Commission advanced a 35-foot by-right standard with conditional use above it, per a Citizen Portal meeting summary; and by July 22, 2026 the club had dropped its request for taller barriers by right, per the Naples Daily News. Final county action was pending as of September 2026. A buyer considering a home near the range should read the current status as part of due diligence.
The rebuild is now on the ground. The Creek and the practice facility closed on April 1, 2026, and are scheduled to reopen on December 1, 2026; The Quail closes on April 1, 2027, and is scheduled to reopen on December 1, 2027, per the club’s strategic planning page. The club’s stated intent is to “enhance playability, modernize infrastructure, and preserve the Arthur Hills character.” The hole-by-hole Creek plans are in the club’s renovation flipbook.
Off the course, three glass-enclosed padel courts were added in 2026, which the club calls the first of its kind in Southwest Florida, per its lifestyle page and strategic planning page, and a clubhouse master plan focused first on mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades is under way. The course ratings published today are pre-renovation figures and will change once each course reopens.
Three threads run through the record since 1973. The club and the homes were separate from the first filings, two corporations in 1980 and 1981, which is why membership is not required today and why 70% of today’s members live outside the gates. The club rebuilds on a cycle, 1991, the early 2000s, 2013 to 2015, 2018 to 2019 and now 2026 to 2027, and each cycle has been a club project, decided by the club’s members rather than by the POA. And the houses have aged in place while the club was renewed around them, which is why an original 1980s house and a 2025 rebuild can sit a few lots apart and sell $3 million apart.
For a seller, the timing of this rebuild is an asset: a buyer touring in the 2026 to 2027 season sees a club investing $26 million in the land behind your house. For a buyer, it is a reason to ask which course a given lot backs onto, when that course reopens, and what the plans show for the holes you will look at.

Quail Creek Country Club occupies one survey section, Section 17 of Township 48 South, Range 26 East: about 640 acres, roughly half of it club-owned golf land, with 291 single-family homesites recorded on six plats along ten streets. Homes are zoned RSF-2 and the courses GC, and the county confirmed in 2026 that the club land is not a PUD.
That structure has barely changed since the plats were recorded, and it explains most of what a buyer sees: why every lot touches the golf land, why the lots are big, why there are no condominiums, and why the one real source of change is the rebuild of individual houses. The subsections below read the record from the section line inward.
Quail Creek sits entirely inside Section 17, Township 48 South, Range 26 East, per the federal PLSS section layer. Every one of the 307 county parcels in that section carries a “QUAIL CREEK” legal description, and no Quail Creek platted lot lies outside it, per the county’s parcel layer. A standard survey section is nominally 640 acres, which is where the round figure the POA and the club have always used comes from, and the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, closes the loop: its 307 parcels total 638.06 acres.
The whole community is in unincorporated Collier County, ZIP code 34119, and in Census Tract 112.13; it is not inside any city or census-designated place, per the Census geocoder. The club’s own site places its clubhouse at 26.294886 north, 81.726744 west, per its homepage.
Parcel type | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Single-family homes | 287 | Improved single-family parcels on the 2026 roll |

Club parcels (Quail Creek Country Club, Inc.) | 4 | Including 183.18 acres at 13296 Valewood Dr and 133.72 acres at 13300 Valewood Dr; about 320 acres in total |
POA common and other tracts | 9 | Roads, drainage and common tracts, two of them in private corporate title |
Other parcels coded vacant on the roll | 3 | Parcels beyond the 291 homesites (see the note below) |
All parcels in Section 17 | 307 | 638.06 acres |
Sources: Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary; the county’s parcel layer for the platted-lot vacancy count; the county’s building footprint layers for construction on vacant-coded lots.
The arithmetic closes: 287 homes plus 4 vacant platted lots is 291 homesites, the same figure the club uses in its About page description of “our 291 estate-sized homes” and the same count of single-family address points the county carries. The roll itself codes a few more parcels vacant than the four platted lots, because it counts some tracts beyond the homesites; this page uses the platted-lot figure.
Roughly half the land in Quail Creek belongs to the club. Its four parcels total about 320 acres on the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, the two largest being the 183.18-acre and 133.72-acre golf and clubhouse parcels on Valewood Drive. The county’s zoning layer tells the same story in its own geometry: two Golf Course (GC) polygons of about 318.0 and 3.2 acres and two single-family (RSF-2) polygons of about 291.5 and 32.1 acres, on our measurement of the county’s shapes.
The residential half holds the 291 lots, the streets and the POA’s common and drainage tracts. The POA’s office sits on its own 1.38-acre parcel, Outlot B of the Unit Two plat, at 4886 Pond Apple Drive South, per the county’s parcel layer and the POA’s state HOA reporting record. Nothing else in the section is residential, commercial or institutional.

The square shape matters more than it looks. Quail Creek’s only road connection is Valewood Drive on the south side; the other three sides are neighbors’ back lines and the Logan Boulevard right-of-way, which is why the community has no cut-through traffic.
The homesites were recorded on six plats. Four are numbered units, one is a lettered block and one is a replat of a single original lot:
Plat (recorded name) | Plat Book and page | Homes on the 2026 roll | Homesites (county address points) | Median lot (county parcel layer) | Streets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Quail Creek, Unit One | PB 13, pp. 19 to 26 | 68 | 69 | 0.82 acre | Valewood Dr, White Violet Dr, Butterfly Orchid Ln |
Quail Creek, Unit Two | PB 13, pp. 74 to 77 | 89 | 92 | 0.77 acre | Pond Apple Dr S, W and E, Bald Cypress Ln, Coco Plum Ln |
Quail Creek, Unit Three | PB 13, pp. 124 to 125 | 46 | 46 | 0.83 acre | Silver Fox Dr, Snowberry Ln, Pond Apple Dr W, one lot on Pond Apple Dr N |

Quail Creek, Replat of Lot 1, Block G | not found in the notices we read | 2 | 2 | 0.67 to 0.73 acre (two lots) | Pond Apple Dr W |
Total | 287 | 291 | 0.77 acre (roll) |
Sources: homes, Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary; homesites, the county’s site address points; lot medians, the county’s parcel layer; plat book references as quoted from recorded legal descriptions in legal notices for Unit One, Unit Two, Unit Three and Block Z. The Collier Clerk’s plat index holds the Unit Four and Replat references and every plat’s recording date.
The difference between the two count columns is exactly the vacant lots: one on Unit One and three on Unit Two. FEMA’s revalidated list of map changes for Collier County pairs each plat with real street addresses, for example “QUAIL CREEK, UNIT ONE, BLOCK C, LOT 27 – 13255 WHITE VIOLET DRIVE,” per the FEMA list, which is how the unit-to-street pairs in the table were confirmed.
Unit One is the original residential plat around the first-opened Creek Course, recorded in Plat Book 13 at pages 19 to 26 per the recorded legal description. It carries 69 homesites on three streets: Valewood Drive inside the gate, the entry spine that runs north to the clubhouse; White Violet Drive, which with 34 homesites is the largest single-name street in the community; and Butterfly Orchid Lane, a seven-lot cul-de-sac off the west side. Unit One also holds the club’s main golf tract. Its lots have the third-highest plat median in the community, 0.82 acre on the county’s parcel layer, and Butterfly Orchid Lane’s median of 0.88 acre is among the highest of any street.
Unit One produced two of the most instructive sales in the record. The highest sale of the last twelve months, $5,045,000 for a 2025-built house, and the lowest, $1,700,000 for a 1982 house, were both on Valewood Drive, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary.
Unit Two, recorded in Plat Book 13 at pages 74 to 77 per the recorded legal description, is the largest plat, with 92 homesites. It covers the south, west and east legs of Pond Apple Drive near the entrance and the two interior north-south streets, Bald Cypress Lane (25 homesites) and Coco Plum Lane (22). It also holds Outlots A and B, the club and POA office parcels, and a rights-of-way tract. Its lots are the most uniform of the four numbered units, 0.67 to 0.94 acre with a median of 0.77 on the county’s parcel layer.
Unit Two’s streets appear in FEMA’s flood records too: Bald Cypress Lane appears in three Letter of Map Amendment cases and Coco Plum Lane in one since 2012, per the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. The flood section of this page carries the full case list.
Unit Three, recorded in Plat Book 13 at pages 124 to 125 per the recorded legal description, holds 46 homesites on Silver Fox Drive, the interior east-west street across the north half, on Snowberry Lane, a twelve-lot cul-de-sac off Pond Apple Drive West, and on a few Pond Apple lots. It has the widest spread of lot sizes of any plat, from 0.67 to 1.52 acres on the county’s parcel layer, and the highest recorded sale in the community since 2021, $5,620,000 in March 2022, was on Silver Fox Drive, which Unit Three shares with a single Unit Four lot, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary.
Unit Four completes the loop: 66 homesites on the north and east legs of Pond Apple Drive, a few on the west leg, and Oak Leaf Drive, an eighteen-lot cul-de-sac in the northeast corner. Its north-leg lots back toward Quail West and its east-leg lots toward Logan Boulevard. The Unit Four plat book reference did not appear in any legal notice we could read; its lot median is 0.76 acre.
Rosewood Lane is the one street recorded on its own plat. Its sixteen lots are platted as Quail Creek Block Z, in Plat Book 14 at page 47 per the recorded legal description, a later plat book than Units One to Three, and it is its own block rather than a fifth unit. Rosewood Lane holds the largest lots in the community, 0.93 to 1.29 acres with a median of about 1.03 acres on the county’s parcel layer.
It is also the only street where the sale extract gave us a lot size: the $3,050,000 Rosewood Lane sale of August 29, 2025 was a 1990 house on 1.02 acres, and a 2000 house on the same street sold for $2,295,000 in October 2025, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary. A dedicated Rosewood Lane sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.
The smallest plat in the community is a replat of one original lot into two. The Replat of Lot 1, Block G holds two homes on Pond Apple Drive West, on lots of about 0.67 and 0.73 acre, per the county’s parcel layer, and both are on the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary. It is the only place in the record where a Quail Creek lot was divided, and its two lots are below the community median. The replat’s book and page were not in any notice we found.
Quail Creek has ten named streets. Pond Apple Drive runs a four-sided loop around the community, signed North, South, East and West, and every other residential street is either the Valewood Drive spine or a lane or cul-de-sac off the loop.
Street | Homesites (county address points) | Plat | Median lot (county parcel layer) | House numbers | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pond Apple Dr S | 21 | Unit Two | 0.78 acre | 4201 to 4887 | South leg of the loop; POA office |
Pond Apple Dr E | 29 | Units Two and Four | 0.77 acre | 12801 to 13555 | East leg, backing toward Logan Blvd N |
Pond Apple Dr N | 26 | Units Three and Four | 0.76 acre | 4202 to 4888 | North leg, backing toward Quail West |
Pond Apple Dr W | 24 | Units Two, Three and Four; Replat | 0.75 acre | 12802 to 13488 | West leg |
White Violet Dr | 34 | Unit One | 0.79 acre | 12888 to 13256 | Largest single-name street |

With 100 of the 291 homesites, Pond Apple Drive is the community’s backbone, and its four legs behave like four different streets: the east leg produced three sales from $2,925,000 to $3,870,000 in the last twelve months, while the west leg’s two sales were $1,900,000 and $2,225,000, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary. A dedicated Pond Apple Drive sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.
The street names follow one theme: native plants and wildlife. Pond apple, bald cypress, coco plum, white violet, butterfly orchid, snowberry, oak leaf and rosewood are plants; the silver fox is the one animal. The theme is our reading of the county’s street list on the road centerlines layer, not something the developer documented. One practical note for anyone searching records: there is no “Quail Creek Drive” in either Quail Creek or Quail Creek Village, and a listing or record that uses one has the wrong address.
On the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, the median single-family lot is 0.77 acre, and lots run from 0.59 to 1.46 acres. Street by street on the county’s parcel layer, the medians run in a narrow band, from 0.75 acre on Pond Apple Drive West to 0.88 acre on Butterfly Orchid Lane, with one outlier: Rosewood Lane at about 1.03 acres.
That narrow band is the point. Quail Creek was platted as a community of near-uniform three-quarter-acre-plus homesites, not as a mix of estate lots and small ones. The difference between one Quail Creek lot and another is mostly what it backs onto, fairway, lake or preserve, and where it sits on the loop, rather than how big it is. For a builder, that uniformity is why a vacant lot here trades in a tight range, $1,195,000 to $1,525,000 across seven qualified vacant sales since 2020, per the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary.
Every Quail Creek home sits in Collier County’s RSF-2 district, residential single-family at up to two units per acre, and the courses and clubhouse sit in the GC, Golf Course, district, per the county’s zoning layer. The GC zoning came by three county actions: petition R-89-27 as Ordinance 90-12 on February 13, 1990; petition R-90-29 as Ordinance 91-3 on January 8, 1991; and a 3.2-acre addition by R-99-5 as Ordinance 99-60 on September 14, 1999.
GC zoning is unusual in Collier. In the county’s April 2026 discussion of golf-course barriers, county staff noted that only “9-10” of the county’s roughly 70 golf courses sit in the GC district, with most inside planned unit developments, per the minutes reproduced in the June 3, 2026 DSAC agenda packet. For an owner, the practical meaning is that the land behind every house is zoned for golf by its own ordinances rather than by a PUD master plan.
Quail Creek was originally approved as a planned unit development. The county’s list of PUD ordinances, Appendix F of the Land Development Code, still carries the entry “QUAIL CREEK COUNTRY CLUB 79-80; 80-29” in its 2012 edition and its 2020 to 2021 edition. But the county’s PUD layer has no Quail Creek Country Club polygon, and at a county subcommittee meeting on April 21, 2026, staff said of the club’s land, “this is not a PUD,” per the minutes in the June 3, 2026 DSAC agenda packet.
When and how the 1979 and 1980 PUD gave way to today’s conventional zoning is not in any online record; the ordinance texts sit in the Collier Clerk’s board minutes and records. The practical answer for a buyer is the one the county gave in 2026: Quail Creek is governed today by RSF-2 and GC zoning, its own recorded plats and the POA’s covenants. The PUD that does carry the Quail Creek name belongs to the neighbor to the south: Quail Creek Village’s planned unit development, QUAIL II, about 200.6 acres, per the county’s PUD layer.
RSF-2 allows up to two homes per acre. Quail Creek’s 291 homesites sit on roughly 324 acres of RSF-2 land, including its lakes and streets, which works out to about 0.9 homes per gross residential acre on our arithmetic, less than half the district’s cap. The county’s Future Land Use map places the community in the Urban Residential Subdistrict, per the county’s future land use layer.
In practice, density here is fixed by the plats and the covenants rather than by the zoning ceiling. The one recorded division of a lot, the Replat of Lot 1, Block G, produced two homes; there is no pattern of lot splits in the record, and any change to a lot’s shape would run through the POA’s architectural control as well as the county.
Four layers of rules govern a new house or a major addition, and only some of them are public.
A standby generator is a common first project, and the county’s rules for it are published: a building permit with electrical and gas or tank permits, a front-yard unit no more than six feet from the house, rear-yard distances of five feet on a non-waterfront lot and ten feet on a waterfront one, ten feet from the right-of-way, and elevation to the base flood elevation or one foot above it in a flood zone, per the county’s generator submittal requirements. The POA’s own rules on generators, shutters and roofs are not public.
Main residence built | Homes | Share of 287 | T12 qualified sales |
|---|---|---|---|
1980s | 163 | about 56.8% | 10 |
1990s | 92 | about 32.1% | 6 |
2000s | 21 | about 7.3% | 3 |

All | 287 | 100% | 20 |
Source: Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary; shares are our arithmetic. The median year built is 1989.
The table reads like the club’s own timeline. The 1980s decade, when the courses and clubhouse opened, produced well over half the houses; the 1990s filled most of the rest; and by 2000 about 96% of today’s homes stood on lots that already had a building, per the county’s building footprint layers. Everything built since is either one of the last open lots or, more often, a rebuild on a lot that already had a house. The 1980s houses sold at a lower share of their decade’s count in the last twelve months, 10 of 163, than their weight in the community would predict, and at a lower price, as the market section above shows.
On the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, 11 homes carry a year built of 2010 or later: one each in 2010, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021, two in 2024 and three in 2025. Counting from 2000, 32 homes date from that year or later. Because only about a dozen homesites were still empty in 2000 on the county’s footprint layers, most of those 32 must be teardown-rebuilds that carry a new year built, and the footprint layers suggest roughly 20 major rebuilds or large additions over the period (our reading).
The pace is picking up. Five of the eleven post-2010 homes were completed in 2024 and 2025, the county’s 2025 footprints show new homes rising on at least two lots still coded vacant, and one Valewood Drive lot that sold vacant in 2023 and 2024 became the $5,045,000 house described in the market section. For a seller of an original house, each new rebuild on the street raises the comparable ceiling. For a buyer, the rebuild wave is the reason a Quail Creek street can hold a 1980s original and a 2025 house side by side.
Every residential parcel in Section 17 is a single-family lot. The county’s use codes in the section are limited to single-family, vacant residential, golf course, rights-of-way, utilities, common areas and the POA office, per the county’s parcel layer, and the county’s milestone inspection map shows no records inside the community. Florida’s post-2022 condominium milestone-inspection and structural-reserve rules therefore reach no Quail Creek home. That removes one of the largest sources of surprise assessments in Southwest Florida real estate, and it is a real point of difference from the condominium villas just south in Quail Creek Village.
The master plan fixes three things a buyer cannot change and a seller can use. Supply is capped at 291 homesites, with no land left to plat and a club that owns the other half of the section. Every lot touches club golf land, so the club’s investment in its courses is an investment in every view. And the only moving part is the house: 255 of 287 homes predate 2000, and the rebuild of those houses is what is driving the top of the market.
For a seller, that means your lot’s position on the plat, what it backs onto and which course is behind it are as much a part of the price as the kitchen. For a buyer, it means reading the plat, the flood zone and the POA’s architectural criteria for the specific lot before you fall in love with the house on it.

Quail Creek Country Club is two separate corporations sharing one gate. Quail Creek Property Owners Association, Inc., a mandatory association filed June 29, 1981, governs all 291 homesites. Quail Creek Country Club, Inc., a member-owned club filed June 27, 1980, owns the golf land. Homeowners never have to join the club, and no community development district exists.
That split is the single most important governance fact for an owner here. It decides which bill is mandatory, whose estoppel certificate your closing depends on and why a home sale never carries a club membership with it. This section walks through both corporations from the state record, the recorded articles and the club’s own pages, and it says plainly where a document is not public.
Some Naples golf communities people compare with Quail Creek bundle the house and the club, as Quail West does. Quail Creek does the opposite. The club’s own page for real estate agents puts it in one line: “Quail Creek Country Club & Quail Creek Estates are completely separate - there is no bundled or minimum Membership requirement for the homeowners.” The same sentence appears in the club’s September 2021 version of that page and its December 2024 version, so it is a settled policy, not a recent change.
“Quail Creek Estates” is the name the club and the association use for the residential side. It is not a separate legal body: a starts-with search of the Florida Division of Corporations for “QUAIL CREEK E” returns no entity called Quail Creek Estates. The legal owner-side body is the property owners association, and the club is its own corporation beside it.

The association is Quail Creek Property Owners Association, Inc., Florida not-for-profit document 758944, filed June 29, 1981, status Active, last reinstated February 11, 2005 (Florida Division of Corporations record). It was filed a year and two days after the club corporation and about five months before the first ball was struck on The Creek on December 7, 1981.
The association also reports to the state’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation as a homeowners association. Its DBPR record carries the license type “Homeowner Association Reporting” with status “Reported” and a license location in Collier County at 4886 Pond Apple Drive South, Naples 34119.
Membership is not optional. The association’s 1998 restated articles make every record owner of a residential lot a member and make that membership appurtenant to the lot, meaning it passes with title and cannot be separated from it. The same articles call for a board of at least five directors (1998 Amended and Restated Articles, Sunbiz image). We do not print officer names on this page; the current slate is on the Sunbiz record linked above.
The best public window into the association’s authority is its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Owners adopted them by 75% of the voting interests present at a members’ meeting on April 6, 1998, reconvened May 4, 1998, and the state filed them on June 1, 1998 (1998 articles). The articles describe the land as “Section 17, Township 48 South, Range 26 East, Collier County, Florida … developed as a residential community known as ‘Quail Creek’”.
The powers the articles grant, in the order an owner feels them:
That clause about agreements with the club matters. The two corporations are legally separate, but the articles anticipate shared infrastructure arrangements between them. The terms of any such agreement are not public; they would sit in Collier County’s official records or the association’s own files.
Article VII(C) of the same document says amendments take effect on filing with the Secretary of State and recording a certified copy in the Public Records of Collier County, so a county recording of the 1998 restatement should exist. We did not find its book and page online.
The articles tie the association to “that certain Amended and Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants for Quail Creek” (1998 articles). The association’s former website, as captured in April 2022, listed the governing documents by title:
Document (title as posted) | Date shown | Text online? |
|---|---|---|
Articles of Incorporation | 1998 restatement | Yes, the Sunbiz image linked above |
Bylaws | May 26, 2015 | No |
Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration (“Protective Covenants”) | Not shown | No |
Architectural Planning Criteria | September 22, 2021 | No |
The PDFs themselves were never archived, and the association’s old domain now serves an unrelated website, so do not rely on it. The recorded Declaration, the 2015 Bylaws and the 2021 Architectural Planning Criteria are the documents that hold leasing rules, pet rules, sign rules and any buyer approval process. None of those rules is published online, and this page does not guess at them.
Every exterior change goes through the association. The association’s published description reads: “Any exterior modifications to homes, including paint colors, landscaping changes, and structural additions, must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee” (association profile). The criteria that committee applies are the Architectural Planning Criteria dated September 22, 2021, whose text is not online.
For a buyer planning a remodel or a teardown, and Quail Creek has had several, the committee’s approval is the first gate. The county roll shows 11 homes built in 2010 or later, three of them completed in 2025 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Each would have needed Architectural Review Committee approval as well as a county permit; the approvals themselves are not public.
Quail Creek’s covenants have been tested in court. In Quail Creek Property Owners Ass’n, Inc. v. Hunter, 538 So. 2d 1288, decided February 3, 1989, Florida’s Second District Court of Appeal enforced paragraph 13 of the Declaration of Protective Covenants, which allowed one sign per lot “not more than two feet square” bearing the owner’s name and address (opinion on CourtListener). The trial court had called the restriction unconstitutional; the appeals court reversed, holding that recording a covenant and enforcing it in court is not state action.
Two practical lessons follow. First, the association has gone to court to enforce what is recorded. Second, the covenant text a buyer receives today may differ from the 1980s version the court quoted. Whether the one-small-sign rule survives unchanged in the current restated declaration is not public, which matters for a seller who expects to put a yard sign on the lawn.
The association keeps an on-site office at 4886 Pond Apple Drive South, the address on its DBPR record and in its 1998 articles. On the county map it is a 1.38-acre parcel platted as Outlot B of Unit Two, carrying a building of about 3,300 square feet (county parcel layer).
State filings point to professional management. Since January 27, 2025, the association’s principal and mailing address on Sunbiz has been 570 Carillon Parkway, Suite 210, St. Petersburg, and its DBPR main address reads “ATTN: PRECEDENT HOSPITALITY” in Clearwater. In other words, state filings list a Precedent Hospitality & Property Management address for the association (Sunbiz POA record; DBPR record). The registered agent changed to a Naples law firm on March 27, 2026.
A 2010 description written by a resident board member gives a sense of scale: a staff of “19 full and part-time employees maintains the common grounds, roads, lighting, and entrance gate” (Naples Daily News, January 7, 2010). That is a 16-year-old figure, and current staffing is not public.
Quail Creek has one way in: a single gated entrance on Valewood Drive. The association’s own website described it in 2019 this way: “At the private, strictly controlled entrance, the gatehouse staff provides 24-hour monitoring for access to the community plus a mobile patrol” (POA website, July 2019 capture). No 2026 source restates the hours, so treat the 24-hour description as the association’s 2019 wording and confirm current staffing from the association’s budget, whose security line is the document that would show it.
The club is Quail Creek Country Club, Inc., Florida not-for-profit document 753153, filed June 27, 1980, status Active, principal address 13300 Valewood Drive, Naples 34119 (Florida Division of Corporations record). The IRS recognized it as a 501(c)(7) social club in August 1982 under EIN 59-2144636 (ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer).
The club calls itself “one of the original member-owned private clubs in Naples” (club About page), and its history page dates member ownership to January 1984, when “Quail Creek transitioned from developer ownership to become a fully member-owned club” (club history). BoardRoom magazine describes the governance model: “the board sets policy and key direction,” and the general manager runs daily operations (BoardRoom magazine, April 4, 2026).
Land ownership follows the corporate line. Four club parcels total about 320 acres, including 183.18 acres at 13296 Valewood Drive and 133.72 acres at 13300 Valewood Drive, roughly half of the community’s 638.06 acres of recorded parcels (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). A club-affiliated nonprofit, Quail Creek Country Club Foundation, Inc. (document N20000005432, filed May 20, 2020), is also active at the clubhouse address (Sunbiz foundation record); its purpose is not stated in the records we read.
Quail Creek Country Club has one owner-side association and nothing beneath it. No neighborhood association, condominium association or villa association is registered for any Quail Creek street. Two dissolved names turn up in a state search: Quail Creek Community Association, Inc. (filed 2016, one annual report, a voluntary residents’ group) and Quail Creek Villas Association, Inc. (filed 1986, dissolved, with no tie to any Quail Creek street). Neither has any governing power today (Sunbiz name list).
The housing stock confirms it: all 287 built homes are detached single-family houses, and the county’s milestone-inspection map shows no records in Section 17 (county Milestone map layer). Florida’s condominium milestone and structural-reserve rules do not reach any home here. For a single-family owner, that means one association, one assessment and one estoppel certificate.
There is no community development district. Three independent checks agree:
That last point also answers the special assessment question: no non-ad valorem assessment of any kind appears on any Quail Creek tax bill in 2026.
Today the homes are zoned RSF-2 (residential single-family, two units per acre) and the courses GC (golf course), per the county’s zoning layer. Quail Creek was originally approved as a planned unit development, and the county’s land development code still lists “QUAIL CREEK COUNTRY CLUB 79-80; 80-29”, but county staff stated on the record on April 21, 2026, “this is not a PUD” (June 3, 2026 advisory committee packet). The golf land was rezoned GC by Ordinance 90-12 (February 13, 1990) and Ordinance 91-3 (January 8, 1991).
The practical meaning for an owner: at about 0.9 homes per gross residential acre against an RSF-2 cap of two, the community is built well below what the zoning allows, and the golf land carries a zoning district of its own rather than sitting inside a flexible PUD master plan.
Because so little is online, the document request is where a Quail Creek purchase is won or lost. We ask for these, in this order:
If the buyer also plans to join the club, the club’s membership documents are a separate request to the club’s Membership office, not to the association.
Quail Creek Village sits directly south, and the two share Valewood Drive and the 34119 ZIP code. They share nothing that governs a home. Quail Creek Village’s master association is Quail Creek Village Foundation, Inc., Florida document N03632, filed June 13, 1984, with a principal address on Quail Village Way (Sunbiz record). Quail Creek Village is its own planned unit development, the “QUAIL II” PUD of about 200.6 acres (county PUD layer), and its golf club is Quail Village Golf Club at 11719 Quail Village Way (club site).
“The Meadows at Quail Creek,” which shows up in search suggestions, is a condominium on Heather Lane inside Quail Creek Village. It is not part of Quail Creek Country Club. The street-level test for telling the two apart is in the streets section below.
Sellers should order the association’s estoppel and gather every architectural approval before listing, because the assessment and the rules are the first questions a buyer’s attorney asks and none of the answers is online. Buyers should read the Declaration and the 2021 criteria before writing an offer on a home they plan to renovate.

A Quail Creek Country Club owner pays two mandatory things: the property owners association assessment, which the association does not publish, and Collier County property taxes, a median $11,722.88 on the 2026 preliminary roll. There is no CDD and no special assessment. Club membership is optional; Class A Golf initiation was last published at $150,000 in 2025.
This section builds the bill layer by layer, puts a date on every figure and names the exact document that holds each figure the association or the club does not publish. We never estimate a fee. Where a number is not public, the table says so.
Layer | Amount | Period | Mandatory? | What it covers | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
POA assessment | Not published | Not published | Yes, every lot | Roads, gatehouse areas, common areas, water management, drainage easements, street lights, architectural control | Scope: 1998 articles; amount: estoppel certificate |
CDD | None | n/a | n/a | No district exists | FL Commerce special district list; Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary |
Non-ad valorem assessments (MSTU, MSBU) | $0.00 on all 287 homes | Annual | n/a | Nothing is levied | Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary |
Property tax (ad valorem) | Median $11,722.88; homesteaded $9,544.85; non-homestead $15,216.33 | Annual | Yes | County, schools and other taxing bodies | Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary |
Club membership | Optional; “no bundled or minimum Membership requirement” | n/a | No | n/a | |
Class A Golf initiation | $150,000 (last published 2025) | One time | No | Full golf and all amenities | |
Golf Waitlist deposit | $75,000 plus tax (last published 2025), credited toward Class A; “Not Currently Available” in September 2026 | One time | No | Limited golf; place in the Class A queue | |
Social/Sports initiation | $40,000 plus tax | One time | No | Dining, fitness, spa, pool, courts, limited golf | |
Social/Sports practice facility fee | $250 a year | Annual | No | Practice facility use | |
Club monthly dues | Not published (“plus monthly dues”) | Monthly | Members only | Club operations | Club membership pages |
Club capital or renovation assessment | Not published | Unknown | Members only | Not published; the club has not said how the $26 million course project is funded | |
Club food minimum, transfer fee, refund terms | Not published | n/a | Members only | n/a | Club membership agreement |
POA transfer fee, capital contribution, estoppel fee | Not published | Per sale | Yes, on resale | n/a | Estoppel certificate |
Two rules keep this table honest. The association and the club are never blended into one “HOA fee,” because they are different corporations and only one is mandatory. And a blank is left blank: no third-party directory figure appears here, because none we found traces to an association document.
The association assessment is the one mandatory charge a Quail Creek owner pays outside the tax bill, and it is not published anywhere we could find. The association has no live public website; its old domain now serves an unrelated site. A third-party homeowners association directory lists a round monthly figure for “Quail Creek, Naples 34119,” but its page also lists a playground, a community pool and townhouses, none of which the association has (the pool and clubhouse belong to the club, and every home is a detached house), and it gives a placeholder phone number. We rejected it, and so should any buyer.
What the assessment pays for is documented even though the amount is not. The 1998 articles give the association the roads, gatehouse areas and common areas, the water management system and drainage easements, the street lights and architectural control, and they let it levy and lien assessments to pay for them. A 2010 account adds the 19 full and part-time staff who then kept up “the common grounds, roads, lighting, and entrance gate” (Naples Daily News, 2010). Professional management, which state filings link to Precedent Hospitality & Property Management, is also a budget line.
The estoppel certificate is the document that states the assessment with a date on it. Under section 720.30851, Florida Statutes, a homeowners association must issue one on request, and it shows the regular assessment and its period, anything unpaid, any special assessment and any charge due on transfer. An owner can also request the association’s adopted annual budget and hand it to a buyer long before closing.
Our practice at Quail Creek is to request the estoppel at listing, not at contract, so the buyer sees the real number in the first week rather than the last. When the next resale estoppel lands in our file, the amount and date go on this page.
Many newer communities in North Naples carry a community development district line on the tax bill. Quail Creek has none. The state list shows no Quail Creek district, and the 2026 roll shows $0.00 in non-ad valorem assessments on every one of the 287 homes (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
That is also the answer to the special assessment question on the tax side: no non-ad valorem charge bills a Quail Creek lot in 2026. The county line on the roll, 3.9293 mills, equals the countywide rate of 3.2449 plus the unincorporated general fund rate of 0.6844 exactly, per the county’s FY2026 budget.
Property taxes are the largest known recurring cost of owning here. On the 2026 preliminary roll (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary):
Measure | Amount | n |
|---|---|---|
Median total tax, all 287 homes | $11,722.88 | 287 |
Median, homesteaded homes | $9,544.85 | 213 |
Median, non-homestead homes | $15,216.33 | 74 |
Share of homes homesteaded | 74.2% | 213 of 287 |
Non-homestead ad valorem tax as a share of just value (median) | about 0.94% | 74 |
Median 2026 preliminary just value, single-family | $1,720,839 | 287 |
Just value on the roll lags what homes sell for. The median recorded sale in the last 12 months was $2,836,000 against a median just value of $1,720,839, so the roll’s values are not a price guide, and a buyer should budget the tax on the price being paid, not on the seller’s current bill.
The 2026 preliminary roll applies these millage components to Quail Creek parcels (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary):
Component | Mills (2026 preliminary) |
|---|---|
County (countywide 3.2449 plus unincorporated general fund 0.6844) | 3.9293 |
School | 4.1470 |
Other taxing bodies | 1.3257 |
Total (our sum) | 9.4020 |
The county’s split comes from its FY2026 adopted budget, and the countywide rate itself is built from the General Fund (3.0107), Water Pollution Control (0.0246) and Conservation Collier (0.2096). The roll does not break the 1.3257 “other” line apart. Independent districts in this part of the county include the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District, which set a maximum of 1.00 mill for FY2025-26, and the Collier Mosquito Control District; the tax bill for a specific parcel shows exactly which bodies sit in that line. The county’s final FY2027 millage was scheduled for adoption on September 17, 2026, and a local report said the county rate was proposed unchanged (Naples Press).
The gap between the homesteaded median ($9,544.85) and the non-homestead median ($15,216.33) is $5,671.48 a year on the 2026 roll (our arithmetic). Three in four Quail Creek homes carry a Florida homestead exemption, and 89.5% of owners use a Florida mailing address (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). A buyer moving here full time should file for homestead; a seasonal buyer should budget from the non-homestead line, not the median.
Club charges only reach an owner who chooses to join. The club’s For Realtors page is explicit that there are no resident or non-resident tiers: “We do not offer ‘Resident’ or ‘Non-resident’ Memberships - the joining fees & dues are the same.” An owner who never joins pays the club nothing, and nothing in the public record shows the association collecting a club charge on the club’s behalf.
For an owner who does join, the charges are an initiation fee, monthly dues and, possibly, capital charges. Only the initiation fee has ever been published, and the club’s own pages show how quickly it moved.
Each row is dated by the capture on which the figure first appears, so a figure was “in effect by” that date.

Read across the rows, Class A Golf initiation rose six-fold in five years, from $25,000 in August 2020 to $150,000 by March 2025, and the club went from open to a waitlist between October 2021 and January 2022. Social/Sports went from no initiation fee in 2019 to $40,000 plus tax today. The membership section below explains what each category buys.
Every club page and PDF we read says the initiation fee comes “plus monthly dues” (earlier pages said “plus annual dues”), and the 2024 brochure and 2025 guide both state that “initiation fees … do not include monthly dues” (brochure; Membership Guide 2025). No public page gives a dues amount for any category.
The same is true of capital charges. Members voted in March 2025 to approve the $26 million course project (club strategic planning page), and the club has not published how it is funded. Nothing on this page should be read as an assessment, a dues increase or a loan; it is simply not public.
History offers context but not current terms. In 2007 the club’s FAQ described an equity membership that returned 50% of the prevailing fee when a membership was resold (2007 FAQ capture), and a 2010 resident column reported that “no food minimum is required” (Naples Daily News, 2010). Neither statement appears on any current club page, so neither should be assumed today. The documents that hold the current answers are the club’s membership agreement, bylaws and dues schedule, issued by the Membership office.
Two different transfer charges can exist at a golf community, and at Quail Creek neither is published:
Until an estoppel or a club document shows otherwise, a buyer should treat both as unknown, not as zero.
The largest variable cost of owning a Quail Creek home is not on either bill; it is insurance. Quail Creek sits on FEMA panel 12021C0211H, effective May 16, 2012, which maps parts of the community in shallow-ponding zone AH and the rest in zone X (FEMA flood map service). In zone AH, mandatory flood insurance applies for a federally backed mortgage (Collier County flood FAQ), and FEMA has completed 16 Letter of Map Amendment cases inside the footprint since 2012, 15 of them for individual homes (FEMA flood map service).
For a Citizens policyholder, Florida law now requires flood coverage outside the high-risk zone too, phasing in by dwelling coverage: $500,000 and up from January 1, 2025, $400,000 and up from January 1, 2026, and all policies from January 1, 2027 (Citizens flood requirement). The thresholds apply to dwelling coverage, not to just value or sale price, so the policy declarations page settles which applies; with a 2026 median just value of $1,720,839 and a median sale price of $2,836,000, many Quail Creek homes are likely to meet them. The flood and insurance sections of this page cover zones by street, the preliminary 2025 map and the wind-mitigation discounts in detail.

For a seller, the unpublished assessment is a problem to solve before the first showing, not after the first offer. A buyer comparing Quail Creek with a community whose fees are posted online will discount the unknown. We ask sellers for the latest association statement and the current budget at listing, and we present taxes by homestead status so a seasonal buyer sees the bill they will actually pay.

Quail Creek Country Club has 291 single-family homesites on ten named streets, recorded in six plats: Quail Creek Units One to Four, Quail Creek Block Z and a two-lot replat. Pond Apple Drive runs a four-sided loop around the community, Valewood Drive enters from the south to the clubhouse, and Rosewood Lane holds the largest lots.
There are no named villages inside the gate and no sub-associations, so a Quail Creek address is best read street by street and plat by plat. The counts below come from Collier County’s address points and parcel layer and from the 2026 preliminary roll, and every figure carries its source.
The whole community fills one survey section, Section 17, Township 48 South, Range 26 East, and every one of the 307 county parcels in that section carries a “QUAIL CREEK” legal description (county parcel layer). The layout is simple once you see it:
That makes ten street names, or 13 street segments if you count the four legs of Pond Apple separately. The names follow a native plant and wildlife theme (pond apple, bald cypress, coco plum, white violet, butterfly orchid, snowberry, silver fox, oak leaf, rosewood). One name that turns up in search results does not exist: there is no “Quail Creek Drive” in the county’s road centerline file.
Homesite counts are Collier County’s single-family address points, which sum to 291. Lot medians are from the county parcel layer. Last-12-month sales are qualified improved sales recorded from August 29, 2025 to August 28, 2026 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).

House-number ranges come from the Collier County Public Schools address lookup service, which returns the same school zones for every Quail Creek street.
Quail Creek was recorded in four numbered units, a separately platted block and one replat. The roll counts built homes; the address points count homesites. The difference, four lots, is exactly the platted lots coded vacant on the 2026 roll: one in Unit One and three in Unit Two (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
Plat (recorded name) | Plat Book and page | Streets | Homes on the 2026 roll | Homesites | Median lot |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Quail Creek, Unit One | PB 13, pp. 19 to 26 | Valewood Dr, White Violet Dr, Butterfly Orchid Ln | 68 | 69 | 0.82 ac |
Quail Creek, Unit Two | PB 13, pp. 74 to 77 | Pond Apple Dr S, W and E; Bald Cypress Ln; Coco Plum Ln | 89 | 92 | 0.77 ac |
Quail Creek, Unit Three | PB 13, pp. 124 to 125 | Silver Fox Dr, Snowberry Ln, Pond Apple Dr W, one Pond Apple Dr N | 46 | 46 | 0.83 ac |
Quail Creek, Unit Four | Not found | Pond Apple Dr N, E and W; Oak Leaf Dr; one Silver Fox Dr | 66 | 66 | 0.76 ac |

Quail Creek Replat of Lot 1, Block G | Not found | Pond Apple Dr W (two homes) | 2 | 2 | 0.67 to 0.73 ac |
Total | 287 | 291 | 0.77 ac |
The plat book references come from recorded legal descriptions quoted in published legal notices: Unit One, Unit Two, Unit Three and Block Z. We did not find published references for Unit Four or the replat; the Collier Clerk’s plat index holds them. FEMA’s own revalidated map-change list confirms the unit-to-street pairing, for example “QUAIL CREEK, UNIT ONE, BLOCK C, LOT 27 – 13255 WHITE VIOLET DRIVE”.
The plat units are recording units, not neighborhoods. Every lot in every unit sits under the same association, the same assessment and the same optional club.
Pond Apple Drive is a third of the community on its own: 100 homesites across four legs, South (21), East (29), North (26) and West (24), recorded across Units Two, Three and Four and the replat (county address points). It is also where the largest share of the resales happens. In the last 12 months, 7 of Quail Creek’s 20 recorded sales were on Pond Apple Drive, at $3,500,000, $2,925,000 and $3,870,000 on the East leg, $3,350,000 and $2,289,000 on the North leg and $1,900,000 and $2,225,000 on the West leg (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
Each leg has its own back yard. The North leg backs to Quail West, the East leg toward the Logan Boulevard North right-of-way, and the South leg holds the association office at 4886 Pond Apple Drive South. Lot medians run a narrow 0.75 to 0.78 acre across the four legs (county parcel layer).
A dedicated Pond Apple Drive sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.
White Violet Drive holds 34 homesites, all in Unit One, with a median lot of 0.79 acre and house numbers from 12888 to 13256 (county address points; county parcel layer). No White Violet home sold in the last 12 months, but the street produced one of the community’s highest recorded sales, $4,250,000 in May 2025 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Unit One’s White Violet lots also appear in FEMA’s map-change records, a reminder to pull the flood paperwork for each address.

Silver Fox Drive runs east-west through the north half with 29 homesites across Units Three and Four and a median lot of 0.81 acre (county address points; county parcel layer). It holds the highest recorded sale in Quail Creek, $5,620,000 in March 2022. In the last 12 months three Silver Fox homes sold, at $1,725,000 (a 1989 home), $2,875,000 (1998) and $2,775,000 (1988) (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). That spread, roughly $1.1 million between the lowest and highest on one street in one year, is typical of Quail Creek, where condition and renovation drive price more than the street.

Valewood Drive is the only road in and out. It runs north from Immokalee Road, passes through Quail Creek Village first, crosses into Section 17 at the gate and ends at the clubhouse; the club’s directions read “At the traffic circle, continue straight on Valewood Dr. The Club is at the end of Valewood on the right.” Inside the gate it carries 28 homesites in Unit One with a median lot of 0.82 acre (county address points).
Valewood is also where the community’s rebuild story is clearest. One Valewood Drive lot sold vacant for $1,338,800 in 2023 and $1,400,000 in 2024, and then sold as a 2025-built home for $5,045,000 in December 2025, the highest sale of the last 12 months. The same street recorded the lowest sale of the period, $1,700,000 in May 2026 for a 1982 home, and a third sale at $2,850,000 for a 1987 home (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Old and new sit side by side here.

Rosewood Lane is the one enclave with a measurably different product. Its 16 lots are platted on their own as Quail Creek Block Z (Plat Book 14, page 47, per a recorded legal description), not as a fifth unit, and they are the largest in the community: a median of about 1.03 acres, ranging from 0.93 to 1.29 acres (county parcel layer). House numbers run 13323 to 13556.
Two Rosewood homes sold in the last 12 months: $3,050,000 in August 2025 for a 1990 home on a 1.02-acre lot, and $2,295,000 in October 2025 for a 2000 home (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Nothing else changes at the Block Z line: same association, same assessment, same optional club.

Bald Cypress Lane (25 homesites) and Coco Plum Lane (22) run north-south through the middle of Unit Two, with medians of 0.76 and 0.78 acre (county parcel layer). Bald Cypress holds the second-highest recorded sale in Quail Creek, $5,200,000 in May 2024, and two recent sales at $1,885,000 and $2,885,000, both for 1986 homes, a million-dollar gap on the same street and the same vintage. Coco Plum recorded one sale, $2,822,000 for a 1986 home in September 2025 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
Three short streets round out the inventory:
Sources: county address points and parcel layer; Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary.
The 2026 roll puts the median single-family lot at 0.77 acre, with a range from 0.59 to 1.46 acres (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). These are three-quarter-acre-plus homesites, and the spread by plat is narrow: Unit Four’s median is 0.76 acre and Unit One’s 0.82, with Block Z the outlier at 1.03.
On density, the homes sit on about 324 acres zoned RSF-2, including roads and lakes, which works out to about 0.9 homes per gross residential acre against the district’s cap of two (county zoning layer; our arithmetic).
Every Quail Creek homesite touches club-owned golf land. In a geometry test on the county parcel polygons, every one of the 290 platted lot parcels shares a boundary with a club-owned golf-use tract (county parcel layer). Those tracts include the lakes and native buffers as well as fairways, so a given lot’s rear view may be fairway, water or preserve. The Creek alone has water hazards on 14 of its 18 holes (club site).
What the public record cannot tell you is which view a particular lot has, or which course it faces. That takes a site visit and the club’s course map. It also matters more than usual through 2027, because the course behind a home will be under construction for one of the two seasons of the rebuild; the golf section below has the schedule.
Quail Creek is mostly a 1980s and 1990s community that is steadily being rebuilt. On the 2026 roll the median main-residence year built is 1989, and the decade counts are 163 homes from the 1980s, 92 from the 1990s, 21 from the 2000s, 5 from the 2010s and 6 from the 2020s (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Eleven homes date from 2010 or later, three of them completed in 2025.
The county’s building footprints fill in how that happened: about 96% of today’s homes stood on lots that already had a building by 2000, and county footprints suggest roughly 20 major rebuilds or additions since then (county building footprints). The teardown market is visible in the sales record too: seven qualified vacant-lot sales since 2020, from $1,195,000 to $1,525,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). A handful of lots were coded vacant on the 2026 roll, and county building footprints show new homes rising on at least two.
Home sizes on the roll use the county’s own measure: a median of 4,075 square feet of county base area and 5,085 square feet of county adjusted area (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Those are not the living-area figures a listing shows.
There are no condominiums, villas, coach homes or townhouses inside the gate. The county’s use codes in Section 17 are single-family, vacant residential, golf course, rights-of-way, utilities, common tracts and one office parcel (the association office), with no condominium or multi-family code (county parcel layer). A buyer searching for a Quail Creek condo is almost always looking at Quail Creek Village.
For readers who want the street-level record in one place, here are the 20 qualified sales of the last 12 months, by street (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). The full list with dates and years built is in the market section of this page.
Street | Sales | Prices |
|---|---|---|
Pond Apple Dr (all legs) | 7 | $3,870,000; $3,500,000; $3,350,000; $2,925,000; $2,289,000; $2,225,000; $1,900,000 |
Silver Fox Dr | 3 | $2,875,000; $2,775,000; $1,725,000 |
Valewood Dr | 3 | $5,045,000; $2,850,000; $1,700,000 |
Bald Cypress Ln | 2 | $2,885,000; $1,885,000 |
Rosewood Ln | 2 | $3,050,000; $2,295,000 |
Butterfly Orchid Ln | 1 | $4,200,000 |
Coco Plum Ln | 1 | $2,822,000 |
Oak Leaf Dr | 1 | $2,168,300 |
White Violet Dr | 0 | none |
Snowberry Ln | 0 | none |
Total | 20 | median $2,836,000 (mean of the middle pair, $2,822,000 and $2,850,000) |
These are small samples: a street with one sale has one price, not a median. Everything shown here is from the Collier County recorded-sale record; the Southwest Florida MLS figures for days on market, sale-to-list ratio and active inventory are in the market snapshot above.
Both are in ZIP 34119 and both are reached by Valewood Drive, so the ZIP alone never separates them. These six tests do:

On the drive in, Quail Creek Village comes first; Quail Creek Country Club begins at the gate. “The Meadows at Quail Creek” is a condominium on Heather Lane in Quail Creek Village, and the county roll files it there (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).

Because every Quail Creek lot is a single-family homesite of roughly three-quarters of an acre under one association, buyers compare homes here on condition, age, view and lot, not on sub-association or fee differences. That puts the burden on the listing to show what the public record cannot: which course and which hole the home faces, what has been rebuilt and when, and how the lot compares with the 0.77-acre median. We build that sheet street by street for every seller. Start with a free home valuation.
Quail Creek Country Club is a private, member-owned club whose membership is optional for homeowners and open to buyers who live elsewhere; 70% of members live outside Quail Creek Estates. Class A Golf initiation was last published at $150,000 in 2025, Social/Sports is $40,000 plus tax, and dues are not published.
This section explains what each category buys, how the waitlist treats Quail Creek owners, how fast initiation rose, and what “member-owned” does and does not mean here. Fees are dated to the club’s own pages; the full initiation history table is in the fee stack section above.
Three sentences on the club’s For Realtors page settle the questions buyers ask first:
In practice that means a Quail Creek buyer can own the house and never join, join years later, or join a different club entirely. It also means buying a home here does not jump anyone ahead of a non-resident on price: the initiation fee and the dues are identical.
A club that depends on its own homeowners for members lives or dies with the residential market inside the gate. Quail Creek does not. With 291 homesites and a membership drawn mostly from elsewhere, the club’s finances rest on the broader North Naples market, and the homeowners’ finances rest on the association alone. The same 70% figure appears in the club’s June 2015 release, so it is a long-standing ratio, not a snapshot.
The flip side for a homeowner who wants golf: you are competing for Class A spots with a large pool of outside applicants. That is where the waitlist rule comes in.
Owning a Quail Creek home does not give you a membership, but it does change your place in the golf queue. The club’s rule, from its For Realtors page: “As a Class A Golf Membership becomes available, they are offered to Golf Waitlist Members on an alternating basis between non-owners and owners with Quail Creek Estates.”
Read carefully, that is a queue-priority rule, not a guarantee. Openings alternate: one to a waitlisted non-owner, the next to a waitlisted Quail Creek owner. If fewer owners than non-owners are waiting, which the 70% outside membership suggests but the club does not publish, an owner moves up the list faster than the same person would as an outsider. How fast depends on the actual split, and only the Membership office knows it.
There is a timing catch in September 2026: the club’s membership page lists the Golf Waitlist category as “Not Currently Available.” A buyer who wants golf should ask the Membership office what the current path to Class A is before assuming the waitlist is open.
Category | What it includes (club wording) | Initiation (latest public figure) | Dues | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Class A Golf | Full golf and practice facility; all amenities | $150,000 (last published 2025) | “plus monthly dues,” not published | |
Golf Waitlist | Non-golf amenities; limited golf (3 rounds a week in season after 1 p.m., paying green and cart fees, per 2024 to 2025 documents); a place in the Class A queue | $75,000 plus tax (2025), credited toward Class A; “Not Currently Available” in September 2026 | Not published | |
Social/Sports | Social and dining, fitness, spa and pool, tennis, pickleball, bocce, limited golf (6 rounds in season; $250 a year for practice facilities) | $40,000 plus tax (live) | “plus monthly dues,” not published | |
Young Professional Golf | Golf membership for younger members | Not published | Not published |
Class A Golf is the full membership: both courses, the practice facility and every non-golf amenity. The club’s January 2025 Membership Guide prints the initiation at $150,000, and captures of the club’s waitlist page from March 2025 and its Class A page from June 2025 repeat it. The June 2025 page announced “Class A Golf Memberships are currently available!” after more than three years of a full roster.
In September 2026 the Class A page no longer loads on the club’s redesigned site, and the live membership page does not state a Class A fee or status. The club last published a $150,000 Class A Golf initiation in 2025, plus monthly dues; any buyer should confirm the current figure directly.
The Golf Waitlist was the club’s answer to a full Class A roster. From January 2022 a waitlisted golfer paid a deposit, credited in full toward Class A when a spot opened, and got limited golf in the meantime. The deposit tracked the Class A fee: $15,000 plus tax against $60,000 in January 2022, $21,250 against $85,000 in 2022 and 2023, $50,000 against $100,000 in 2024, and $75,000 plus tax against $150,000 in 2025. From 2024 the club described it simply as a “50% deposit” (brochure; Membership Guide 2025).
The waitlist category’s golf privileges in the 2024 to 2025 documents were three rounds a week in season after 1 p.m., paying green and cart fees. In September 2026 the category is listed as “Not Currently Available.”
Social/Sports is the membership most Quail Creek homeowners who do not play golf consider. It covers social and dining events, the fitness center, spa and pool, tennis, pickleball and bocce, plus limited golf: six rounds in season and practice-facility use for $250 a year (Social/Sports page; Membership Guide 2025).
Its price climbed just as steeply: no initiation fee in August 2019, $5,000 in January 2021, $20,000 plus tax in February 2023 and $40,000 plus tax from 2024 to today. The live page, read in September 2026, still shows $40,000 plus tax, plus monthly dues.
The club’s About page lists a Young Professional Golf category, and the December 2025 renovation release describes “a newly introduced young executive membership” (Golf Wire release). Its age limits, initiation and dues are not published. An earlier category no longer appears among the club’s 2026 categories: the Associate Golf membership for golfers under 55, which in August 2020 cost $5,000 up front and $20,000 more at age 55 (2020 capture).
The dated captures in the fee stack table tell a clear story:
Period | Class A Golf initiation | What changed |
|---|---|---|
2019 to August 2020 | $25,000 | Open membership |
July to October 2021 | $40,000 | “Only a few memberships available,” then “a handful … until we reach a waitlist” |
January 2022 | $60,000 | Class A full; paid waitlist opens |
June 2022 to 2023 | $85,000 | Full |
August to November 2024 | $100,000 | Full |
January to June 2025 | $150,000 | Full in March; “currently available” by June |
September 2026 | Not published | Waitlist “Not Currently Available” |
That is a six-fold increase in five years (our arithmetic, $25,000 to $150,000), and the club moved from open to a waitlist between October 2021 and January 2022 (club captures in the fee stack table). The same years saw Quail Creek home prices rise sharply: the calendar-year median recorded sale went from $1,475,000 in 2021 to $2,637,500 in 2025 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). We do not claim one caused the other, but a buyer should know that both the house and the club cost far more than they did five years ago.
Quail Creek was built by a developer and handed to its members early. The club’s history dates the transfer to January 1984, the same month as the clubhouse Grand Opening Ball: “a major milestone was reached as Quail Creek transitioned from developer ownership to become a fully member-owned club” (club history). A 2011 Naples Daily News report says the transfer came “without any cost to members.”
Bob Hardy was one of the club’s three first officers (club history). News accounts and Hardy’s obituary credit him as the developer of both the club and Quail Creek Estates. Members have owned the club for more than four decades since.
Quail Creek Country Club, Inc. is a Florida not-for-profit corporation and an IRS 501(c)(7) social club. Its Form 990 data, published through ProPublica’s Nonprofit Explorer, show for the fiscal year ending August 2024:
Line | Amount |
|---|---|
Total revenue | $14,535,285 |
Total expenses | $19,456,413 |
Net food and beverage sales | $2,107,344 (14.5% of revenue) |
Those are filing figures, not an audit, and the 990 does not explain the gap between revenue and expenses in that year. A buyer weighing a Class A membership should ask the club for its audited statements and the March 2025 capital-project materials, which are the documents that show how the $26 million course project is funded.
The word is used loosely in Naples, so precision matters. What is documented today is that the club is member-owned (club About page). The club’s current pages speak of an “initiation fee” or “joining fee,” not of equity, refunds or resale of memberships.
History shows the club once used a different model. Its 2007 FAQ said the club “only offers Equity” and “offers 50% prevailing,” meaning a resigning member received half of the then-current fee when the membership was resold (2007 FAQ capture). Whether any refund applies today is not stated publicly. Do not assume a refund; the club’s membership agreement and bylaws are the documents that answer it.
The club does not publish its current golf cap or member count. It does publish history. By 1989 it had 580 golf members, 350 social members and 118 golfers on the waitlist (club history). A 2006 club page stated golf membership was “restricted to 580 (290 per 18 holes)” and that applications went to a Membership Committee (2006 capture). Treat both as history; the current bylaws hold today’s cap.
The club describes a membership ranging in age from 29 to 99, with an average of about 60, made up of “retired individuals and young families” (club membership page). Nothing in any record we read designates Quail Creek as age-restricted, and the Young Professional category exists to bring in younger golfers.
The club displays a BoardRoom “Distinguished Club” badge on its About page, and BoardRoom magazine describes it as “a BoardRoom Distinguished Club with EXCEPTIONAL status” (BoardRoom magazine, April 4, 2026). The same profile mentions the board’s bi-monthly “Boardroom Bulletin,” which is the club’s own newsletter to members, not the magazine. The club also lists Audubon certification for its courses, a Blue Zones certified fitness center and a Quail Shoppe golf shop it calls “a Top 100 AGM Platinum Award recipient” (club golf page). The years of these recognitions are not stated.
Buyers often weigh Quail Creek against Quail West, its neighbor across the north line. The difference is structural. Quail West says its “membership is currently reserved exclusively for those who call our stunning community home” and that “House membership is the minimum requirement for all Quail West members” (Quail West membership). At Quail Creek, membership is optional and open to outsiders. For a buyer who wants the golf-course setting without a mandatory club bill, that difference decides the search. Our Quail West guide covers the other side.
A home showing inside the gate does not include the club. The club states that access to Quail Creek Estates for a showing “does not permit unscheduled or self-guided visits to the Club,” and every visit must be scheduled in advance and confirmed by the Membership office (club For Realtors page). Tour hours are posted on the club’s directions page:
Season | Days | Hours |
|---|---|---|
Off-season (May to September) | Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday | 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. |
In season (October to April) | Monday to Friday | 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. |
We schedule the club tour alongside the home tour so a buyer sees both on the same day.
An unbundled club changes how a Quail Creek home should be marketed. There is no membership to transfer, no club approval to wait for and no mandatory club bill to explain, which widens the buyer pool to people who do not golf. At the same time, the golfers in that pool want to know the path to Class A, the current initiation and the waitlist rule before they fall for a house. McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, put the club’s dated fee history, the alternating-waitlist rule and the rebuild schedule in front of every golfing buyer at the first showing, so the club becomes a selling point rather than an open question.

Quail Creek Country Club has two 18-hole, par-72 courses by Arthur Hills: The Creek, opened December 7, 1981, and The Quail, opened November 27, 1982. Both are being rebuilt in a $26 million Ron Forse renovation: The Creek and practice facility from April 1 to December 1, 2026, The Quail from April 1 to December 1, 2027.
That rebuild is the most important thing happening at the club, for members and for anyone buying or selling a home on the golf course. This section covers both courses tee by tee, their history through the 2013 regrassing and Hurricane Irma, and exactly what the 2026 and 2027 schedule means for owners.

The courses are The Creek and The Quail. Older copy sometimes calls one of them “Lake”; that is wrong, and The Lakes is a Quail West course. The club also describes both as “walkable courses” (golf overview).
The Creek was the first course at Quail Creek and the club’s opening day: “the Creek Course welcomed first players” on December 7, 1981 (club history). The club calls it its “Championship Course,” the longer of the two, with water in play on 14 of 18 holes (club site). From the Black tees it plays 6,836 yards, rated 73.1 with a slope of 134 for men per the Florida State Golf Association.
The Creek is also the course being rebuilt first. It closed on April 1, 2026, with its practice facility, and is scheduled to reopen on December 1, 2026.
The Quail opened almost a year later, on November 27, 1982, while members were still dining in the Skylight Grill Room of the tennis complex because the clubhouse had not yet broken ground (club history). The club describes it as the shorter, “player-friendly” course with a “high risk, high reward” character (club golf page). From the Black tees it plays 6,481 yards, and it is the tougher course by slope: 139 against The Creek’s 134 for men from the back.
The Quail carries the club through 2026 while The Creek is closed, and then closes itself on April 1, 2027, for a scheduled December 1, 2027 reopening.
Ratings and slopes are the Florida State Golf Association’s current handicap-system values; yardages are the club’s own scorecard (FSGA club record; club Creek course tour). These are pre-renovation figures and will change after the rebuild.
Creek tee | Par | Yards | Men rating / slope | Women rating / slope |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Black | 72 | 6,836 | 73.1 / 134 | |
Black/Blue | 72 | 6,603 | 71.8 / 131 | |
Blue | 72 | 6,357 | 70.7 / 128 | 76.8 / 139 |
Blue/Green | 72 | 6,186 | 70.1 / 125 | 76.0 / 136 |
Green | 72 | 5,947 | 69.1 / 121 | 74.8 / 134 |
Green/White | 72 | 5,549 | 67.4 / 119 | 72.6 / 129 |
White | 72 | 5,167 | 65.5 / 112 | 70.5 / 123 |
White/Gold | 72 | 4,860 | 64.1 / 108 | 68.9 / 119 |
Gold | 72 | 4,607 | 63.1 / 105 | 67.3 / 116 |
Nine tee combinations spanning 2,229 yards from Black to Gold (our arithmetic) make The Creek playable for a wide range of golfers.
Same sources, same caveat (FSGA club record; club Quail course tour).
Quail tee | Par | Yards | Men rating / slope | Women rating / slope |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Black | 72 | 6,481 | 71.7 / 139 | |
Black/Blue | 72 | 6,226 | 70.4 / 132 | |
Blue | 72 | 6,004 | 69.2 / 127 | 74.7 / 137 |
Green | 72 | 5,691 | 67.8 / 124 | 73.0 / 134 |
Green/White | 72 | 5,159 | 65.8 / 118 | 70.7 / 128 |
White | 72 | 4,843 | 64.9 / 112 | 69.2 / 124 |
Gold | 72 | 4,171 | 62.3 / 106 | 65.5 / 111 |
The club’s January 2025 Membership Guide prints the same back-tee pairs: The Creek at 6,836 yards, 73.1 and 134, and The Quail at 6,481 yards, 71.7 and 139.
A golfer who opens the club’s course-tour pages will see different numbers, for example 73.7 and 143 from The Creek’s Black tees and 70.8 and 133 from The Quail’s. Those pages carry older ratings, and two of their women’s rows contain obvious entry errors. The FSGA figures match the club’s 2025 guide and are the ones a handicap uses, so they are the figures this page publishes. For history, a 2006 club scorecard rated The Creek’s blue tees at 6,836 yards, 73.7 and 138, and The Quail’s at 6,231 yards, 70.5 and 131 (2006 Creek scorecard; 2006 Quail scorecard). All of these will be replaced once each course is re-rated after its rebuild.
The courses have been refreshed before. The club’s history records “major course renovations, beginning with the Creek Course, which was completed in 1991, followed shortly by a similar enhancement to the Quail Course” (club history). In the late 1990s the club adopted a formal course improvement plan and formed a Long-Range Planning Committee (club history).
The last full course project ran from June 2013 to June 2015, and it is why the courses buyers played until 2026 looked the way they did. Per the club’s own June 2015 release:
The work was led by then-superintendent Kevin Leo, and “Mr. Hills was on site to approve the changes.” All 36 holes reopened on November 21, 2014 (club renovation page, January 2015 capture). The release names Stonegate Bank of Naples as the financing bank for that project.
Hurricane Irma hit the courses hard in September 2017. The USGA reported “extensive flooding and damage … to Quail Creek’s course and clubhouse” (USGA, September 19, 2017), and Golf Digest wrote that the course “suffered significant flooding” (Golf Digest).
The recovery is documented in detail by the golf course superintendents’ trade magazine (GCM, GCSAA): 13.5 inches of rain had already fallen in late August, before Irma arrived; about 4,000 trees came down or were damaged and removed; every bunker was rebuilt; cleanup began September 11; the first nine reopened 36 days later and the second nine two weeks after that; and both courses were fully open again on November 28, 2017. The damage was wind and rain, not storm surge; the hurricane section of this page explains why.
Ron Forse now describes the property as “roomy with expansive golf corridors and a mature native pine landscape” (Golf Wire release).
Quail Creek has twice been chosen by the USGA, and neither championship was played here:
We found no professional tour event on record at Quail Creek, and this page claims none.
The current project began as a master-planning exercise in 2019 and became a full rebuild of both courses. The club’s strategic planning page sets out the timeline:
Date | Step |
|---|---|
Late 2019 | Architect Gordy Lewis hired for a comprehensive master plan |
Spring 2020 | Member survey on golf priorities |
Late 2022 to 2023 | Long-range plan re-evaluated |
November 2023 to March 2024 | Architect interviews |
April 2024 | Ron Forse of Forse Design selected |
August 2024 | Forse on property, design begins |
December 2024 | Town halls; members weighed a new clubhouse, a resort-style pool or the courses, and chose the courses |
March 2025 | Membership vote approves the capital project |
July 2025 | Clarke Construction selected as course contractor |
August 1, 2025 | Nutt Irrigation selected |
April 1, 2026 | The Creek and practice facility close for construction |
December 1, 2026 | The Creek scheduled to reopen |
April 1, 2027 | The Quail closes for construction |
December 1, 2027 | The Quail scheduled to reopen |
The club’s December 12, 2025 release put the cost at $26 million and called it “the largest course transformation in its history” (Golf Wire release); BoardRoom magazine separately reported the $26 million figure and 13 member information sessions. A side note for neighbors: Gordy Lewis, hired for the 2019 plan, also designed the course at Quail Village Golf Club next door.
The stated aim is to “enhance playability, modernize infrastructure, and preserve the Arthur Hills character” (club strategic planning page). The release describes a wall-to-wall renovation of all 36 holes, modernized infrastructure, a redesigned practice facility and a complete reconstruction of every green, with new TifEagle putting surfaces (Golf Wire release). In summer 2025 the existing Creek turf was deliberately terminated and overseeded with ryegrass to carry members through the 2025 to 2026 season before the April closure.
Forse’s own words set the ambition: “This is not just a renovation, it’s more of a reimagining,” and “each hole will be worthy of a name.” The club has posted a hole-by-hole plan for The Creek and the practice facility as an online flipbook. The fairway and tee grass after the rebuild has not been announced.
Role | Firm or person | Source |

Architect | Ron Forse, Forse Design | |
Course contractor | Clarke Construction Group, Fort Myers | |
Irrigation | Nutt Construction (the club calls it Nutt Irrigation), Tullahoma, Tennessee | same |
Turf consultant | Mark Burrows | same |
Members voted in March 2025 to approve the capital project (club strategic planning page). The club has not published how the $26 million is funded, whether by assessment, dues, reserves or borrowing. We do not guess. A prospective Class A member should ask for the March 2025 capital-project disclosure before joining, because it is the document that shows whether a new member shares in the cost.
For a homeowner who is not a member, the answer is simpler: the club is a separate corporation, and its capital project is a club project, not one the association’s articles assign to the POA.
Four practical points follow from the schedule, and they are our reading of it:
For a buyer looking at a home on the golf course, the construction window matters too. A lot backing onto The Creek sits beside active construction through December 2026; a lot on The Quail goes through the same in 2027. Ask which course and hole the home faces.
For a seller, timing and presentation matter. A home listed while the course behind it is under construction shows a work site, not a fairway, so we lead with the club’s plan, the reopening date and the flipbook, and we time photography where possible. A home listed after its course reopens can be marketed on a brand-new course. Either way, the rebuild is a strong message to buyers: the members have voted to put $26 million into the courses every Quail Creek home backs onto.
Before the rebuild the club listed “five putting greens, a chipping bunker, and a dedicated short game range” (club golf page) plus “a state-of-the-art driving range” (golf overview). The whole practice facility is being redesigned in the 2026 phase. The range has also been the subject of a separate county matter over tall ball-containment netting, which the civic pipeline section of this page covers.
The club’s pro shop, the Quail Shoppe, is described by the club as “a Top 100 AGM Platinum Award recipient” (club golf page), and both courses are described as “certified by the Audubon Society” (golf overview); the year of each recognition is not stated. The club’s golf program includes league play and tournaments (club golf page).
Two nearby clubs share the “Quail” name and sometimes a buyer’s shortlist:
Quail Creek Country Club | Quail West | Quail Village Golf Club | |
|---|---|---|---|
Holes | 36: The Creek, The Quail | 36: The Lakes, The Preserve | 18 |
Original architect | Arthur Hills, 1981 and 1982 | “originally designed by Arthur Hills in 1992,” later renovated by Drew Rogers | Gordon Lewis, built 1985, “totally renovated in 2021” |
Membership | Optional for homeowners; open to non-residents | Required of residents (“House membership is the minimum”) | Open to residents and non-residents |

No. Quail Creek Country Club has no marina, docks, boat access, beach club or beach shuttle, and no club page or release describes one. Residents use the public beaches: Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, which has a public boat ramp, is about 18 minutes from the clubhouse off-peak, and Vanderbilt Beach about 19 minutes from the gate.
Quail Creek is an inland golf community about six miles from the Gulf. For many buyers that is the point: a quiet gated setting a short drive east of the beaches. For a buyer whose life revolves around a boat, it means keeping the boat somewhere else.
We read every first-party source the research turned up, the club’s home, About, Golf, Lifestyle, strategic planning and For Realtors pages and its 2015 and 2025 press releases, and none describes a marina, boat slips, a beach club, reserved beach parking or a beach shuttle (club site; club Lifestyle page). The lakes on the courses are golf and drainage lakes that belong to the club’s golf tracts, not boating water. The association’s 1998 articles give it the water management system and drainage easements, not any waterfront amenity (1998 articles).
We measured road routes on OpenStreetMap data with the OSRM routing engine. These are free-flow, off-peak figures, rounded up; in season, Immokalee Road and US 41 run longer. The origin is stated for each row, because the gate and the clubhouse are different starting points.
Destination | Road miles | Drive time (off-peak) | Measured from |
|---|---|---|---|
Conner Park (county beach parking, Bluebill Ave) | 7.2 | 17 min | Clubhouse |
Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park | 7.4 | 18 min | Clubhouse |
Vanderbilt Beach | 8.3 | 19 min | Quail Creek gate |
Vanderbilt Beach Park | 8.7 | 20 min | Clubhouse |
Barefoot Beach Preserve | 14.2 | 33 min | Clubhouse |
In a straight line the clubhouse is about 5.9 miles east of the Vanderbilt Beach shoreline (our measurement). From the Immokalee Road entrance, rather than the gate, Vanderbilt Beach is 7.2 miles and about 14 minutes.
For boaters, the closest launch in the research is inside Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park at 11135 Gulfshore Drive, about 7.4 miles and 18 minutes from the clubhouse. The state lists a boat ramp and a canoe and kayak launch into Water Turkey Bay on the Cocohatchee River estuary, and the park is open 8 a.m. to sunset every day for $6 per vehicle, with beach wheelchairs available (Florida State Parks). It is also the closest full beach park, so one trip covers sand and a launch.
We have not verified private marinas, slip availability or rates for this page, so we name none. Those are questions for the marinas themselves.
For the 2025 to 2026 season, Collier Area Transit ran a free “Paradise Beach Trolley” from the Conner Park lot on Bluebill Avenue to Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and Vanderbilt Beach, Friday through Sunday, through April 26, 2026 (Collier County announcement). Conner Park is about 17 minutes from the clubhouse. Whether the trolley returns for 2026 to 2027 had not been announced when this page was written.
Barefoot Beach Preserve looks close on a map but is the longest beach drive in the table: 14.2 road miles and about 33 minutes, because the route runs north via Bonita Beach Road. For most Quail Creek residents, Vanderbilt and Delnor-Wiggins are the everyday beaches.
If a boat is central to your plans, Quail Creek asks you to keep it at a marina or in storage and drive to it, and we say so in the first conversation. If the beach is a weekend ritual rather than a daily one, a 20-minute drive west in exchange for three-quarters of an acre on a golf course is a trade many of our buyers are glad to make. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will map the drive to the beach or ramp you actually use.
Quail Creek Country Club has nine lit Har-Tru tennis courts including an exhibition court, six dedicated LED-lit pickleball courts, three glass-enclosed padel courts added in 2026 and three bocce courts with weekly leagues. All are club facilities, so playing requires a club membership; Social/Sports membership covers the courts for $40,000 plus tax initiation.
The court complex is one of the club’s most-changed amenities: the tennis count has fallen and pickleball and padel have arrived as the club followed demand. This section gives today’s count, the history behind it and the public alternative nearby.
Tennis is played on nine Har-Tru courts, lit for evening play, including an exhibition court (club Lifestyle page; club site; court sports page, June 2025 capture). The club offers private lessons, group clinics and junior programs, and runs a year-round calendar of events and tournaments (club Lifestyle page).
Pickleball has six dedicated courts, LED-lit with a cushioned surface, with clinics and match play (club Lifestyle page; court sports page, June 2025 capture). Dedicated means the courts are built for pickleball, not tennis courts shared with painted lines.
Padel is the newest sport at Quail Creek. Three glass-enclosed padel courts opened in 2026; the club calls the complex “the first of its kind in Southwest Florida” (club strategic planning page; club Lifestyle page), which is the club’s own claim. Gulfshore Business reported in April 2026 that construction would start that spring with completion targeted for summer 2026, designed by McWard Architects and built by D. Garrett Construction, with programming to include leagues, clinics and youth instruction (Gulfshore Business, April 17, 2026). The exact opening date was not published.
Bocce has three courts with weekly leagues (club Lifestyle page). Two of them were added in the 2013 to 2015 clubwide renovation, alongside a sports lounge by the tennis pro shop (club release, June 2015), and the bocce facility was renovated again in the 2020s (club history).
Year | Tennis | Pickleball | Padel | Bocce | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2010 | 13 Har-Tru (5 lit) | none reported | none | not reported | |
2015 | not stated | none reported | none | 2 added | |
2019 (as planned) | 10 plus an exhibition court | 4 | none | 3 | |
2026 | 9, including an exhibition court | 6 | 3 | 3 |
Over 16 years the tennis count fell from 13 to 9 while pickleball and padel arrived. County building records show tennis court slabs recorded on the club’s main parcel in 2019 and 2020 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), consistent with the court rebuild that came with the Sports Center & Spa.
The club’s 2025 court sports page described a tennis program led by a USPTA Master Professional and pickleball staff certified by the IPTPA (court sports page, June 2025 capture), and the club says its padel staff are certified padel professionals (club strategic planning page). We do not print staff names, which change.
The courts belong to the club, not the association, so owning a Quail Creek home does not include court time. Social/Sports membership covers tennis, pickleball and bocce (Social/Sports page); Class A Golf covers every amenity. Court fees and reservation rules are not published.
For an owner who wants to play without joining, Collier County’s Veterans Community Park has 14 pickleball courts, tennis courts, bocce and a dog park (Collier County Parks).
Quail Creek Country Club’s Sports Center & Spa is an $18.5 million project, approved by members in 2018 and completed in 2019, that brought fitness, wellness, tennis, spa and dining under one roof. It houses a 5,000-square-foot fitness center with Technogym equipment, Pilates and cycling studios, physical therapy and The Spa at Quail Creek.
Like the courts, the Sports Center belongs to the club. It is included in every membership category, including Social/Sports, per the club’s Social/Sports page, and it is not an association amenity.
The club began planning a wellness-focused modernization in 2015. Members approved the $18.5 million project in 2018; demolition of the old tennis and fitness buildings began that year, and the Sports Center & Spa was completed in 2019. The club describes it as a “$18.5 million project that consolidated fitness, wellness, tennis, spa, and dining facilities under one roof” (club history). The 2019 completion is supported by the club’s December 2025 release (Golf Wire) and by a county building record dated 2019 on the club’s main parcel (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
Club sources give two different sizes for the building, so this page gives none. The fitness center’s size is consistent across sources.
The fitness center measures 5,000 square feet and is equipped with Technogym machines. It includes a Pilates studio, an indoor cycle studio, a springboard room, two group-class rooms and a TRX room, staffed by certified fitness professionals (club Lifestyle page; club site). In 2025 the club published fitness hours of 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily (health and wellness page, July 2025 capture); confirm current hours with the club.
For scale, a 2010 account described a smaller program with seven full and part-time trainers and therapists and Pilates on mat, reformer and springboard (Naples Daily News, 2010). The Sports Center was built to take that program much further.
The club describes its fitness center as Blue Zones certified and displays the Blue Zones Project seal (club site; club About page). The year of certification is not stated.
Licensed physical therapists work at the club’s Health and Wellness Center, and the club’s 2025 copy referred to a Doctor of Physical Therapy on staff (club Lifestyle page; health and wellness page, July 2025 capture). For a golf and racquet membership with an average age around 60, therapy down the hall from the gym is a practical amenity, not a luxury.
The Spa at Quail Creek offers massage, facial and body treatments (club site; club Lifestyle page). Treatment prices are not published.
Every membership category includes “Fitness, Spa & Pool” (Social/Sports page), so there is a club pool. Its size, lap lanes, heating and hours are not described on any current club page. In December 2024 members were offered a resort-style pool as one of three possible capital projects and chose the golf courses instead (club strategic planning page), so no new pool is planned as part of the current work.
For a buyer who does not play golf, the Sports Center is the reason to consider Social/Sports membership at $40,000 plus tax plus dues. For a buyer who does not want the club at all, Quail Creek still works: the home and the association stand on their own. Either way, the fitness, spa and pool sit behind the club’s front door, not the association’s.
Quail Creek Country Club dines members at the Greenside Grille for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch, The Wine Room, the outdoor Creekside Bar and event rooms including the Cypress, Oak and Quail Rooms. Food and beverage is a sizable business: the club’s IRS filing shows $2,107,344 in net food and beverage sales for the year ending August 2024.
Dining is a member amenity, reached through the club. This section lists the venues, the numbers behind them and the questions the public record does not answer.
Venue | What it is | Source |
|---|---|---|
Greenside Grille | Casual; lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch; indoor and outdoor with a fire pit | |
The Wine Room | Wine events and private dining | same |
Creekside Bar | Outdoor social bar | |
Cypress Room, Oak Room, Quail Room | Event and dining rooms | |
Cypress Bar & Lounge | Named in the club’s December 2025 release |
The club describes its approach as “locally-sourced, seasonal menus” with wine pairings, across upscale and casual settings (club Lifestyle page).
The Greenside Grille is where most member meals happen. It was introduced in the early 2000s clubhouse renovation along with the Tennis Pro Shop (club history), expanded in 2013 to 2015 with indoor and outdoor seating, a 12-foot fire pit, a peninsula bar and a house beer, “Quail Ale” (club release, 2015), and renovated again with the kitchen in the 2020s (club history).
The Wine Room hosts wine events and doubles as a private dining room. The Cypress, Oak and Quail Rooms serve larger dinners and events (dining page, July 2025 capture). The Quail Room has a long history: it was added off the main lobby in the late 1980s, along with the Garden Room bar (club history).
The club’s Form 990 data for the fiscal year ending August 2024 show net food and beverage sales of $2,107,344, about 14.5% of total revenue of $14,535,285 (ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer). That is the scale of a full-service club kitchen serving a membership that lives mostly outside the gate. The filing does not break out covers, menu prices or margins.
A 2010 account by a resident gives the flavor of the club’s dining calendar at the time: a Friday night seafood buffet described as “probably the Club’s best known extravaganza,” a “famous Sunday brunch,” and white-glove dinners with live music in season (Naples Daily News, January 7, 2010). Sunday brunch is still on the Greenside Grille’s schedule today; whether the other traditions continue is not stated on the club’s current pages.
The clubhouse opened in January 1984 and has been renovated in stages since. The club’s December 2025 release reported a “complete interior refresh” for the 2025 to 2026 season (Golf Wire). A clubhouse master plan, focused first on mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades with targeted enhancements, is under way (club strategic planning page). A new clubhouse was one of the options members considered in December 2024, and they chose the golf courses instead.
No current club page states a food and beverage minimum, and none posts menus or prices. A 2010 resident column said “no food minimum is required” (Naples Daily News, 2010), but that is 16 years old and should not be assumed today. The club’s membership agreement and dues schedule are the documents that answer it. Dining is for members and their guests; the club does not describe public dining.
Outside the club, the nearest dining and shopping clusters are on the Immokalee Road and Vanderbilt Beach Road corridors. Mercato is about 17 minutes from the gate off-peak and Waterside Shops about 20 minutes, measured on the OSRM routing engine (Mercato; Waterside Shops).
Quail Creek Country Club’s social calendar is run by the club and centers on golf, court sports and dining. Signature events include the Salute to Veterans Golf and Dinner, whose sixth annual edition raised $185,000 for Home Base Florida, and the club hosts galas, weddings and corporate events. Members range in age from 29 to 99.
The association does not run a social program; the calendar belongs to the club. This section covers the charity events, the groups, the history and who a new member meets.
The club’s signature charity event is the Salute to Veterans Golf and Dinner. Its sixth annual edition raised $185,000 for Home Base Florida, which supports veterans’ mental and physical health (eBella Magazine, April 2026). For a new member, it is the event that shows the club at its most outward-looking.
The club held its inaugural Taste of Quail Creek on January 20, 2019: chef stations, food trucks, tastings, a car show, a live band, children’s activities and a Blue Zones wellness booth, at $100 a ticket, with part of the proceeds going to Fairways for Freedom, which supports combat-injured veterans (Gulfshore Business, January 16, 2019). Whether it has become an annual event is not published.
In 2020 about 200 bobwhite quail were released on the club grounds, a resident-led project that raised $9,000 in four months (Naples Daily News, April 5, 2020). It is a small story that says a lot about the place: residents and the club working together on the land they share. The courses also host “eagles, otters, foxes, the occasional alligator and other native wildlife,” as a 2010 resident column put it (Naples Daily News, 2010).
The most detailed public picture of the club’s groups is from 2010, so read it as history (Naples Daily News, January 7, 2010):
Group | Size in 2010 |
|---|---|
18-hole Women’s Golf Association | about 225 |
Lady Niners (9-hole women) | about 100 |
Men’s Golf Association | not stated |
9-hole men’s group and a low-handicap group | not stated |
Bridge, with ACBL-sanctioned duplicate games | “not uncommon to have 100 bridge players on Monday during season” |
Current names and sizes are in the club’s member handbook, which is not public. The club’s golf page today refers to league play and tournaments without naming the groups (club golf page).
Tennis, pickleball and bocce run a year-round calendar of events and tournaments, and bocce plays weekly leagues (club Lifestyle page). With padel added in 2026, the club expects leagues, clinics and youth instruction there too (Gulfshore Business).
The club hosts galas, weddings and corporate events (club Lifestyle page), using the Cypress, Oak and Quail Rooms and The Wine Room for private dining. Booking terms and pricing are not published.
Quail Creek’s social history begins with a party. The clubhouse was completed in December 1983, and the Grand Opening Ball on January 18, 1984 ran over two nights for more than 700 guests (club history). Later that month the club passed to member ownership. In the 2020s the club marked its 40th anniversary (club history).
The club describes a membership from 29 to 99 years old, averaging about 60, made up of “retired individuals and young families” (club membership page). Seventy percent of members live outside the gates, so the social circle reaches well beyond Quail Creek Estates. On the residential side, three in four homes carry a Florida homestead exemption and 89.5% of owners use a Florida mailing address, with Ontario and Wisconsin the leading out-of-state owner addresses (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Nothing in the record makes Quail Creek an age-restricted community.
For a new owner who joins, the fastest way in is through a group: a golf association, a bocce league, a padel clinic or a charity committee. For one who does not join, the neighborhood is quieter by design: there is no association clubhouse or social program, and the gatherings happen at the club. We tell buyers to spend a season deciding; nothing about the house requires an answer on day one.

Quail Creek Country Club sits in Collier County hurricane evacuation Zone E, the fifth of six zones, on ground 12.0 to 16.6 feet above sea level (NAVD88) about six miles inland, in a 159 to 160 mph design wind zone. Its damaging storm was Irma in 2017: rain flooded the courses and about 4,000 trees came down.
Storm performance here is three separate questions: how far the water can reach, how the houses were built, and what the record actually shows. We take them in that order, and we say plainly where the public record stops.
Collier County publishes its own hurricane evacuation zone layer. We queried it at the clubhouse, at the south end of Valewood Drive, on Pond Apple Drive North, on the west end of Silver Fox Drive and on Pond Apple Drive East, plus two control points to the south, using the county’s own point query (clubhouse query). Every point returned Zone E.
The Florida Division of Emergency Management’s statewide layer agrees, returning “COLLIER E” at the same point (FDEM evacuation zone query).
Collier’s layer holds six zones, A through F. Zones are lettered from the coast inland, so Zone E is the second-to-last tier and, on our reading of that order, would be called only in a very large storm. Collier County’s own definition tying each zone to a storm category was not found on a county page in our research, so this page does not say which category would trigger a Zone E order. The document that holds that definition is Collier County Emergency Management’s evacuation zone explainer and its Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
The U.S. Geological Survey’s 3D Elevation Program point service returns ground elevations from 1-meter lidar flown in 2018. Across 31 points inside the Quail Creek footprint (16 street points and the 15 homes that hold FEMA map amendments, covered in the flood section below), the ground ran from 12.0 to 16.6 feet NAVD88. The lowest readings sat at one White Violet Drive home (12.0), the west end of Silver Fox Drive (12.1), Oak Leaf Drive and the south end of Pond Apple Drive East (12.3 each), and near the clubhouse (12.5 to 12.9). The highest were on Snowberry Lane (16.6), at one Valewood Drive home (15.7), and on the east end of Silver Fox Drive and the south end of White Violet Drive (15.5 each).
The query template, for any coordinate, is https://epqs.nationalmap.gov/v1/json?x=<LON>&y=<LAT>&wkid=4326&units=Feet&includeDate=true.
Those are ground readings, not finished-floor elevations. A house sits higher than the grade around it, and an elevation certificate is the document that measures the floor.
The clubhouse coordinate sits about 5.9 miles east of the Vanderbilt Beach shoreline (our straight-line measurement from the coordinates), with Pelican Strand, Cypress Woods and I-75 between Quail Creek and the coast. That distance, and that ground, are the two reasons storm surge has never been the Quail Creek story.
Irma is the storm that tested this community. Per the National Weather Service Miami Irma summary, Irma made landfall at Marco Island at 3:35 p.m. as a Category 3 hurricane with 115 mph winds; the highest gust near Naples was “142 mph at a mesonet site near Naples Airport”; interior Southwest Florida “received anywhere from 9-15 inches of rain”; and “Rainfall flooding lingered for at least a week after the storm in portions of Collier, Hendry and Glades counties.”
At the club, the record is specific:
Per the same GCM account, the grounds crew under superintendent Kevin Leo began cleanup on September 11, 2017. About 4,000 downed or damaged trees were removed, and every bunker was rebuilt. The first nine holes reopened 36 days after cleanup began, the second nine two weeks after that, and both courses were fully open again on November 28, 2017, about 11 weeks after landfall.
That is the club’s recovery. Whether any Quail Creek home took water or lost a roof in Irma is not in any public record we found. The records that would answer it are the POA’s and the club’s board minutes and member notices from September 2017, which are not public.
Irma’s surge was coastal. NWS Miami describes “3-4 feet of inundation at the Gulf … and Naples Bay waterfronts and extending less than a half-mile inland” (NWS Irma summary). The nearest Irma high-water marks in the USGS Short-Term Network database sit about 6.5 miles west, at the beach, at 3.9 to 4.4 feet NAVD88.
Set that beside Quail Creek’s ground of 12.0 to 16.6 feet NAVD88 and the reading is plain, and it is ours: Irma’s damage at Quail Creek was rain and wind, not storm surge.
Ian was the surge storm for coastal Collier. The NWS Miami Ian summary records a surge of 6.18 feet above mean higher high water at the Naples Pier, major surge “along the Cocohatchee River and Palm River areas”, and gusts of 112 mph at Naples Grand Beach Resort, 106 mph at Kalea Bay near Vanderbilt Beach and 105 mph at the Naples Airport tower. WGCU reported on October 5, 2022 on fast surge flooding in the Cocohatchee River area near Shores Avenue, on the coastal side.
The high-water marks locate the edge. The nearest Ian mark to the club in the USGS database is a riverine mark 4.75 miles west at 7.17 feet NAVD88; coastal marks 6.6 miles west read 11.2 to 11.8 feet NAVD88. Quail Creek’s ground sits at 12.0 to 16.6 feet, miles inland of both.
No source we found says Quail Creek flooded in Ian. Wind and tree damage inside the community in Ian is not documented in any public record we read.
Neither storm produced a Quail Creek-specific closure or damage notice that we found on the club’s site or in the news.
FEMA’s OpenFEMA NFIP claims dataset reports claims by ZIP code, and ZIP 34119 is far larger than Quail Creek. With that limit stated:
Year of loss | NFIP claims, all of ZIP 34119 | Note |
|---|---|---|
2001 to 2015 | 16 | 1 (2001), 7 (2005), 2 (2008), 4 (2013), 2 (2015) |
2017 | 88 | 78 coded Hurricane Irma, about $725,000 paid on those |
2018 to 2020 | 3 | 2 (2018), 1 (2020) |
2022 | 13 | 11 coded Hurricane Ian, about $71,000 paid on those |
2023 | 3 | |
2024 | 1 | coded Hurricane Debby; none coded Helene or Milton |
Total | 124 | 2001 to 2024 |
None of these claims can be attributed to a Quail Creek home. The dataset generalizes locations to the ZIP. What the pattern does show is that Irma, not Ian, was the ZIP’s flood-claims event, which matches the club’s own Irma record.
Honest gaps, stated once:
Collier County publishes the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023) ultimate design wind speeds as GIS layers. At the clubhouse and three edge points of the community, the county’s layers return:
Risk category | What it covers | Design wind speed at Quail Creek |
|---|---|---|
I | Low-hazard structures | 148 mph |
II | Houses and most buildings | 159 to 160 mph |
III | Higher-occupancy buildings | 172 to 173 mph |
IV | Essential facilities | 181 mph |
Source: Collier County’s Risk Category II wind layer, with sister layers for Categories I, III and IV. The exact clubhouse query is here.
A Quail Creek house built or rebuilt today is designed for an ultimate wind speed of about 160 mph. That is today’s code figure, not a statement about what any existing house was built to.
The Collier County tax roll (2026 preliminary) dates the 287 built homes as follows: 163 from the 1980s, 92 from the 1990s, 21 from the 2000s, 5 from the 2010s and 6 from the 2020s, with a median year built of 1989. That is 255 of 287 homes built before 2000, and so before Florida’s first statewide building code took effect in 2002. Those homes were permitted under the earlier local wind rules, and each has been maintained, re-roofed and re-windowed on its owner’s schedule since.
The rebuild wave runs the other way. Eleven homes date from 2010 or later, three of them completed in 2025, and county building footprints suggest roughly 20 major rebuilds or additions since 2000 (our reading of the county’s footprint layers). Two neighboring Quail Creek houses can be decades apart in code.
Under the Florida Building Code, areas with an ultimate design wind speed of 140 mph or more count as wind-borne debris regions, where new and replacement windows and doors must be impact-rated or protected. At 159 to 160 mph, Quail Creek clears that threshold, so impact glass or approved shutters should be expected on any new or replacement opening. That is our application of the published threshold; we did not quote the code section itself in this pass, and the county’s permit reviewer decides each job.
Many Quail Creek owners ask about a whole-house generator after Milton’s countywide outage. Collier County’s permanent emergency generator submittal requirements set the rules:
Collier’s 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter adds that new machinery must be elevated to the base flood elevation plus one foot. On a Quail Creek lot that sits partly in Zone AH, where the pad goes matters.
The POA’s rule is broad: “Any exterior modifications to homes, including paint colors, landscaping changes, and structural additions, must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee” (POA page). A generator pad, a shutter system, impact windows and a re-roof are all exterior changes.
The POA’s specific rules on roof materials, shutters, impact windows and generators are not published online. They sit in the Architectural Planning Criteria dated September 22, 2021, whose title appears on the POA’s former website (2022 capture). The sequence for an owner is ARC approval first, then the county permit, then the contractor.
Quail Creek drains to the Cocohatchee River system. The USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset places the club in the Cocohatchee River watershed (HUC10) and the Cocohatchee River to Frontal Gulf of Mexico sub-watershed (HUC12), within the Big Cypress Swamp basin. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s drainage basin layer puts it in the West Collier basin. Collier’s stormwater sub-basin map shows Cocohatchee River canal sub-basins in the area but is too coarse to place Quail Creek in a single one.
The lakes, control structures and outfall that move water off the courses are permitted by the South Florida Water Management District; that permit file was not retrieved in our research.
Thinking of selling a Quail Creek home? A current wind mitigation report and a documented roof date are the two storm items that most often decide whether a buyer’s insurance quote lands inside the inspection period.

Quail Creek Country Club is a mixed flood-zone community on FEMA panel 12021C0211H, effective May 16, 2012. Some lots are minimal-risk Zone X; others sit partly in shallow-ponding Zone AH, with nearby base flood elevations of 11.0 to 14.0 feet. FEMA has closed 16 map-amendment cases here since 2012, and a new map is in appeal.
The flood answer at Quail Creek is lot by lot, not community-wide. That makes it more work than a single-zone community, and it is why the evidence below is laid out street by street.
On September 23, 2026 we queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer at 16 street points spread across every part of the community, and again at the 15 homes that hold FEMA map amendments. For each point we read the flood zone (layer 28), the map panel (layer 3) and any map revision (layer 1), and the ground elevation from USGS lidar.
The exact zone query, at the clubhouse, is: FEMA flood zone query, 13300 Valewood Drive. Swap the coordinates to test any other point.
One caution governs everything that follows. A street point can fall on a lot, a lake bank or a fairway. These points show how the zones vary across Quail Creek; they are not a flood determination for any house.
Every point returned FIRM panel 12021C0211H, effective May 16, 2012, in Collier County’s unincorporated area, NFIP community 120067. No map revision (LOMR) applies at any point.
Street point | Effective zone (panel 0211H) | In the Special Flood Hazard Area? | Preliminary zone (panel 0211J) | Ground, ft NAVD88 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Valewood Dr, south | AH | Yes | X | 12.7 |

Sources: FEMA effective NFHL and preliminary NFHL, USGS 3DEP elevations, all queried September 23, 2026. None of the sampled points is shaded X on the preliminary map.
On the map in force today, 8 of the 16 street points are in Zone AH and 8 are in Zone X. Silver Fox Drive shows the pattern in one street: the east end tests minimal-risk X at 15.5 feet, the west end tests AH at 12.1 feet. A dedicated Silver Fox Drive sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.
Collier County’s floodplain FAQ defines it: Zone AH is “an area subject to inundation by 1-percent-annual-chance shallow flooding (usually areas of ponding) where average depths are between 1 and 3 feet… Mandatory flood insurance requirements and floodplain management standards apply.”
At Quail Creek, AH is ponding water on low ground, not surge or river flooding. It is still a Special Flood Hazard Area, and a lender treats a house mapped in it exactly as it would any other.
FEMA does not publish one static base flood elevation at the AH points here (the service returns no single value); the elevations are carried by base flood elevation lines. In an envelope around the community, FEMA’s BFE line layer returns 52 lines:
Base flood elevation, ft NAVD88 | Lines in the envelope |
|---|---|
11.0 | 2 |
11.5 | 7 |
12.0 | 9 |
12.5 | 14 |
13.0 | 12 |
13.5 | 7 |
14.0 | 1 |
One 13.0-foot line runs right beside Valewood Drive. Put side by side, and the comparison is ours: the AH-mapped sample points sit on ground of 12.0 to 14.2 feet, within about a foot or two of the nearby base flood elevations, while the Zone X points sit higher. Finished floors normally sit above grade, which is the physical reason so many Quail Creek owners have won FEMA letters.
Both are Zone X and neither is a Special Flood Hazard Area. Minimal-hazard X is outside both the 1% and the 0.2% annual-chance floodplains. Shaded X is outside the 1% floodplain that triggers federal mandatory purchase but inside the 0.2% area. On the effective map, the south end of Rosewood Lane and the north end of Pond Apple Drive East test shaded X.
Collier County’s FAQ states both sides of it: in Zone X, “Mandatory flood insurance is not required,” yet “over 25 % of flood insurance claims nationwide come from structures in X and X500 flood zones.”
An envelope scan of the community on the same FEMA layer returns 29 Zone AE polygons and 4 Zone AH polygons, from FEMA’s study citation for Collier. The AE polygons are most likely the stormwater lakes on the courses; we did not test them polygon by polygon, so that reading is ours. A home that backs onto a lake can sit near an AE edge, which is one more reason the determination has to be made per house.
A Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) is FEMA’s determination, made on a surveyed elevation, that a structure or property sits above the base flood elevation even though the map shows it in the flood zone. FEMA’s LOMA layer (envelope query) returns 16 completed cases inside the Quail Creek footprint:
FEMA case | Date | Plat and street | Outcome recorded |
|---|---|---|---|
12-04-4802A | May 17, 2012 | Multiple properties on panel 0211H | Property removed |
12-04-6393A | July 31, 2012 | Unit Four, Oak Leaf Dr | Structure removed, property partially inundated |

17-04-3885A | April 7, 2017 | Unit Two, Bald Cypress Ln | Structure removed, property partially inundated |
17-04-4243A | April 12, 2017 | Unit Four, Oak Leaf Dr | Structure removed, property partially inundated |
19-04-0338A | October 25, 2018 | Unit Four, Pond Apple Dr N | Structure removed, property partially inundated |
19-04-6934A | September 26, 2019 | Unit One, Valewood Dr | Structure removed, property partially inundated |
22-04-3463A | May 19, 2022 | Unit Three, Snowberry Ln | Structure removed, property partially inundated |
24-04-1633A | January 5, 2024 | Unit Two, Coco Plum Ln | Structure removed, property partially inundated |
26-04-4158A | July 20, 2026 | Unit One, Valewood Dr | Structure removed, property partially inundated |
We publish the plat unit and street, not the house number. Sixteen cases since 2012, 15 of them for individual homes, and every one of those 15 reads “Structure removed, property partially inundated”: the house was found above the flood elevation while part of the lot stayed mapped in it. The most recent was decided on July 20, 2026.
FEMA’s revalidated list of older map changes for Collier County, effective February 9, 2024, also carries Quail Creek lots, among them a Quail Creek Unit One lot on White Violet Drive (FEMA revalidation list).
The 15 single-home LOMA locations, grouped by street, show how the new map treats the lots owners have already had to prove out of the flood zone (house numbers withheld):
Street | Homes with a LOMA | Effective zone at the LOMA point (0211H) | Preliminary zone (0211J) | Ground, ft NAVD88 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Bald Cypress Ln | 3 | X minimal; X 0.2%; AH | X minimal (all three) | 13.9 to 14.8 |
Oak Leaf Dr | 3 | X 0.2% (two); AH (one) | X minimal (all three) | 14.7 to 14.9 |
Pond Apple Dr N | 3 | X minimal (two); AH (one) | X minimal (all three) | 13.6 to 14.7 |
White Violet Dr | 2 | AH (both) | AH (both) | 12.0 to 12.9 |
Valewood Dr | 2 | X minimal; X 0.2% | X minimal (both) | 14.6 to 15.7 |
Coco Plum Ln | 1 | X minimal | X minimal | 14.9 |
Snowberry Ln | 1 | X minimal | X minimal | 16.6 |
Source: FEMA effective and preliminary NFHL at each LOMA point, USGS 3DEP ground elevations. LOMA points are FEMA’s own coordinates and some are rounded, so treat each zone as an approximation of the lot, not the house. The house-level answer is the letter itself.
A new flood map for Quail Creek is on the way. FEMA’s preliminary NFHL shows preliminary panel 12021C0211J, dated March 20, 2025, covering the whole community. Collier County’s August 2026 news release sets the calendar: the preliminary map was released March 20, 2025; the 90-day appeal period began August 19, 2026; and the target effective date is summer 2027.
On the preliminary map, the base flood elevation lines in the same envelope are more uniform: 24 lines, 23 at 13.0 feet NAVD88 and one at 13.5 feet, against 11.0 to 14.0 feet today.
Across all 31 sampled points, the effective map puts 13 in Zone AH and the preliminary map puts 8 there.
At sampled points, the preliminary map generally shrinks the AH area at Quail Creek, but not everywhere, and not in one direction. Appeals can still change it before FEMA issues a Letter of Final Determination.
Until the new panel becomes effective, the 2012 panel 0211H is the map a lender uses; a preliminary map does not change a mandatory-purchase requirement. That is our reading of how the two maps interact, consistent with the county’s release. A buyer closing in 2026 or early 2027 should check both: the effective map for the loan, the preliminary map for what the house will look like to insurers and the next buyer.
The rebuild wave at Quail Creek meets the flood rules here. Under Collier County’s floodplain rules, as its FAQ and 2026 newsletter explain, improvements or repairs costing 50% or more of the building’s pre-improvement value must bring the building up to current flood elevation rules. The FAQ adds that “Collier County has no waiting period once an existing building permit has been finalized,” and it names no cumulative look-back period.
For a 1980s Quail Creek home in or near Zone AH, the practical reading is ours: a gut renovation can cross the 50% line, and at that point the question becomes whether the existing floor meets today’s elevation. The county’s floodplain staff decide each permit.
The Collier County tax roll (2026 preliminary) records seven qualified vacant-lot sales since 2020, from $1,195,000 to $1,525,000, and 11 homes built in 2010 or later. Every one of those new houses was designed against the flood map in force when it was permitted. A buyer planning a teardown should price the new pad elevation into the build from day one, using the base flood elevation that applies to the lot and any change the preliminary map makes.
Collier’s FAQ says: “If your structure was built in Unincorporated Collier County after Sept. 14, 1979 and the flood zone at the time started with the letter”A" or “V”, the county may have a copy of the elevation certificate on file." Almost every Quail Creek home was built after that date, so for a house that was in an A zone when permitted, the county’s floodplain office is the first place to ask. If none exists, a Florida-licensed surveyor produces one.

Insurance at Quail Creek Country Club turns on four documented facts: lots mix Zone X and Zone AH, Collier County’s CRS Class 5 rating cuts eligible flood premiums 25%, Citizens will require flood coverage on all its personal residential policies from January 1, 2027, and 255 of the 287 homes were built before 2000.
What follows is what those facts mean in practice, the county and state numbers that frame a quote, and the documents that decide one. What does not follow is a premium for any Quail Creek home, for the reason given at the end.
The federal requirement attaches to the Special Flood Hazard Area. In Collier County’s words, from its floodplain FAQ, Zone AH carries “Mandatory flood insurance requirements,” while in Zone X “Mandatory flood insurance is not required.”
At Quail Creek that splits the community lot by lot (see the flood section above):
Get the lender’s flood position in writing early in the contract, not in the final week.
FEMA’s Community Rating System list effective April 1, 2026 shows Collier County’s unincorporated area, community 120067, which includes Quail Creek, at CRS Class 5, a 25% discount on eligible National Flood Insurance Program policies. The county entered the program on October 1, 1992 and has held Class 5 since October 1, 2015. The county’s 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter says the same: Collier “maintains a Class 5 CRS rating … eligible NFIP polices receive a 25% discount.”
One data flag, for completeness: FEMA’s frozen OpenFEMA policy dataset tags ZIP 34119 policies with a class-6 code. We treat FEMA’s own CRS list and the county as authoritative; the reason for the difference is not published.
Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, the state-created insurer of last resort, is phasing in a flood requirement under section 627.715, Florida Statutes. Per Citizens’ flood page, Citizens personal residential policies with wind coverage must carry flood insurance on this schedule:
Effective date | Citizens policies that must carry flood coverage |
|---|---|
Already in force | Homes in a Special Flood Hazard Area (Zones AH and AE) |
January 1, 2024 | Outside the SFHA, dwelling coverage of $600,000 or more |
January 1, 2025 | Outside the SFHA, dwelling coverage of $500,000 or more |
January 1, 2026 | Outside the SFHA, dwelling coverage of $400,000 or more |
January 1, 2027 | All policies, regardless of zone or value |
The flood limit must be at least the Citizens dwelling limit or the NFIP maximum of $250,000.
Applied to Quail Creek, and this application is ours: every Quail Creek home insured by Citizens will need flood coverage by January 1, 2027, including homes in minimal-risk Zone X and homes with a LOMA. At Quail Creek’s price level (a recorded T12 median sale of $2,836,000, Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), many homes are likely to carry dwelling coverage above the $400,000 threshold already in force, in which case the requirement has effectively arrived. That is our inference from price, not a count of policies; dwelling coverage is set by replacement cost, not sale price.
Three Citizens documents frame the market:
Collier County, Citizens line | Policies | Current average premium | Recommended change | Recommended average |
|---|---|---|---|---|
All personal lines combined | 6,162 | $3,470 | down 0.8% | $3,441 |
Homeowners, multiperil (HO-3) | 1,712 | $4,531 | down 3.1% | $4,391 |
Homeowners, wind-only (HW-2) | 508 | $5,508 | up 4.2% | $5,737 |
Read these as what they are: countywide averages across every kind of house Citizens insures in Collier, at the recommendation stage. They are not quotes and not Quail Creek figures, and a Quail Creek home insured for several million dollars sits far from the county average. The final approved Collier figures by line were not found in our research.
On May 20, 2026 the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation reported that 20 property and casualty insurers have entered Florida since the state’s legislative reforms, bringing more than $850 million in new capital; that more than 190 residential rate filings asked for a decrease or no change; and that the 180-day average homeowners rate request was down 2.9%, against up 0.7% a year earlier.
For a Quail Creek buyer, the practical reading is ours: with 20 new carriers in the state since the reforms, it is worth having a licensed Florida agent shop the house rather than assuming Citizens is the only door.
FEMA’s OpenFEMA NFIP policy dataset, frozen June 1, 2026 (successor: NFIP Redacted Policies v3), shows for all of ZIP 34119, not Quail Creek alone:
Rated zone | Policies in force, ZIP 34119 | Median total premium |
|---|---|---|
X | 1,149 | $955 |
AH | 1,048 | $888.50 |
AE | 48 | not computed |
All | 2,245 |
Two things stand out, and both readings are ours. Nearly half the ZIP’s flood policies are written in Zone AH, the same shallow-ponding zone that crosses Quail Creek lots. And the median AH premium in the ZIP sits slightly below the median X premium, a reminder that flood pricing is not simply the letter on the map. None of these are Quail Creek figures; a Quail Creek home’s replacement cost alone will move its premium.
Roof age is the first question a Quail Creek insurer asks about a 1980s or 1990s house. Under section 627.7011(5), Florida Statutes:
That last definition matters on a Quail Creek home that has had a partial re-roof or repairs after a storm: a patched roof keeps its original age. The roofing permit history is the evidence.
Under section 627.0629, Florida Statutes, insurers must provide “actuarially reasonable discounts, credits, or other rate differentials” for features addressing “wind uplift prevention, roof strength, roof covering performance, roof-to-wall strength,” and since October 1, 2023 must post their “hurricane mitigation discounts available to policyholders” on their websites.
The document that earns those discounts is a wind mitigation inspection report. On a 1980s Quail Creek home that has had a new roof, impact windows or roof-to-wall straps added, it is often the difference between a painful quote and a workable one.
The state’s My Safe Florida Home program offers free wind-mitigation inspections and grants of “Up to $10,000” for roofs, impact windows and doors, garage doors and secondary water barriers. The program’s site showed applications open, with a page date of September 16, 2026. Eligibility rules and the match ratio were not on the page we read, so this page does not say which Quail Creek homes qualify; the program’s application states the tests.
Wind pricing turns on the building: roof covering and age, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connection, roof shape, secondary water resistance and opening protection. At Quail Creek, a median year built of 1989, 255 homes from before 2000 and 11 homes from 2010 or later (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary) mean that two houses on the same street, with similar prices, can carry very different wind premiums. A 2025 rebuild on Valewood Drive and a 1986 original on Bald Cypress Lane are, to an underwriter, different risks.
No source in our research supports a premium for any Quail Creek home, and this page does not publish one. Flood is priced per building; wind is priced per carrier, per building, on mitigation features that vary across 287 homes built over four decades; and replacement cost at this price level is house-specific. The county and state averages above are context, not a forecast.
What we can own is the list of inputs. As context for how often this comes up: in the last 12 months we counted 20 qualified home sales recorded against Quail Creek Country Club homes on the Collier County tax roll (2026 preliminary), and every one of those buyers needed the same short list of documents before a carrier would bind.
Thinking of selling a Quail Creek home? Having the wind mitigation report, roof date, flood zone and any LOMA ready before a buyer’s agent asks is the fastest way to protect a contract. Get a free home valuation and we will build that file with the listing.

Every Quail Creek Country Club address tested is zoned for 2026-27 to Veterans Memorial Elementary, North Naples Middle and Aubrey Rogers High, per the Collier County Public Schools address lookup, with no rezoning pending. All three schools earned an A in Florida’s 2026 school grades.
Quail Creek is a golf-club community, but it is not age-restricted: no 55-plus designation appears in any record we read, and the club says its members range in age from 29 to 99, averaging about 60, and include “retired individuals and young families” (club membership page). School zoning matters here more than the club profile suggests.
The assignments below were not copied from a listing sheet. They come from the Collier County Public Schools address lookup, the service behind the district’s zoning map, queried directly on September 23, 2026 for zone year 2027 (the 2026-27 school year).
Two limits, stated plainly. The Pond Apple Drive street query returned exactly 100 records, which may be the service’s cap, so each of the four Pond Apple Drive legs was also checked by address. And the district allows school choice, so “zoned for” is the assignment, not the only option.
Level | School | Address | Grades | Enrollment, 2024-25 | From the Quail Creek gate | From the Immokalee Rd entrance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Elementary | Veterans Memorial Elementary School | 15960 Veterans Memorial Blvd, Naples 34110 | PK to 5 | 721 | 5.2 mi, about 13 min | 4.0 mi, about 8 min |
Middle | North Naples Middle School | 16165 Learning Ln, Naples 34110 | 6 to 8 | 909 | 4.8 mi, about 13 min | 3.6 mi, about 8 min |
High | Aubrey Rogers High School | 15100 Patriot Pl, Naples 34110 | 9 to 12 | 1,496 | 6.2 mi, about 15 min | 5.1 mi, about 11 min |
Addresses are from the district’s lookup; enrollment and grade spans from the federal NCES Common Core of Data, 2024-25. Drive times are free-flow OSRM routing, off-peak (method in the drive-times section below). NCES lists Aubrey Rogers High at 15100 Veterans Blvd; we use the district’s own address, 15100 Patriot Place.
All three schools sit west of I-75 in ZIP 34110, north of Immokalee Road, so the school run crosses I-75, typically at the Exit 111 interchange that FDOT is about to rebuild (see the construction section below).
Quail Creek street | Homesites (county address points) | House numbers | Elementary | Middle | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pond Apple Dr S | 21 | 4201 to 4887 | Veterans Memorial | North Naples | Aubrey Rogers |
Pond Apple Dr E | 29 | 12801 to 13555 | Veterans Memorial | North Naples | Aubrey Rogers |
Pond Apple Dr N | 26 | 4202 to 4888 | Veterans Memorial | North Naples | Aubrey Rogers |

Sources: homesite counts from Collier County’s address point layer; house-number ranges and assignments from the CCPS address lookup. The lookup spells it “Oak Leaf Dr”; a search for “Oakleaf Dr” returns nothing, and so does a search for “Quail Creek Dr,” a street that does not exist.

Source: Collier County Public Schools’ 2026 Accountability Brief, dated July 1, 2026, which republishes the Florida Department of Education’s grades (linked from the district’s grades page); cross-checked against the district’s 2025 brief. Florida labels a grade by the spring of the school year, so “2026” is the 2025-26 grade.
Veterans Memorial Elementary and North Naples Middle have earned an A in all five years shown; Aubrey Rogers High has earned an A in every year it has been graded.
Aubrey Rogers High School first appears in the grade table for 2024, so it opened for the 2023-24 school year (our inference from the first graded year; the school’s opening date was not read in a district document). It is the largest of the three, at 1,496 students in 2024-25 per NCES. For a family buying in 2026, the practical point is that the zoned high school is new and has been graded A in each of its three graded years.
The same 2026 Accountability Brief grades Collier County Public Schools an A for 2025-26, calling it “one of only five Florida districts to be rated as an ‘A’ for the last nine years,” and ranks it sixth of Florida’s 67 districts.
We tried to read the grades from the state’s own spreadsheet on the Florida Department of Education site; the download refused automated access. So the grades above are the district’s republication of the state’s grades, not read by us from the state file. If a grade is decisive for your family, open the state’s school grades file directly.
Listing sheets carry school fields, and buyers read them as fact. We did not use any listing field for this section, and we recommend no buyer relies on one. A listing’s school entry is typed by whoever entered the listing, may date from an earlier school year, and is not the district’s determination. The district’s address lookup is the assignment; confirm the specific address there before you write an offer, because Collier can redraw boundaries year to year.
Two public schools sit closer to the Immokalee Road entrance, east of Logan Boulevard, and neither is zoned for Quail Creek addresses:
Families who want either school go through the district’s school-choice process, where seats and transportation are the constraints.
The federal NCES Private School Survey, 2023-24, lists these schools within 10 miles of ZIP 34119. NCES notes that a listing is not an endorsement or accreditation.
School | Address | Grades | Students, 2023-24 | From the Immokalee Rd entrance | From the Quail Creek gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Montessori Academy of Naples | 2655 Northbrooke Dr, Naples 34119 | PK to 11 | 80 | 2.4 mi, about 9 min | 3.6 mi, about 14 min |
Royal Palm Academy | 16100 Livingston Rd, Naples 34110 | PK to 8 | 322 | 3.0 mi, about 10 min | 4.1 mi, about 14 min |
First Baptist Academy | 3000 Orange Blossom Dr, Naples 34109 | PK to 12 | 876 | 4.5 mi, about 9 min | 5.6 mi, about 13 min |

The Village School of Naples | 6000 Goodlette Rd N, Naples 34109 | PK to 12 | 614 | 7.6 mi, about 14 min | 8.7 mi, about 19 min |

St. Elizabeth Seton School | 2730 53rd Ter SW, Naples 34116 | PK to 8 | 306 | 9.5 mi, about 14 min | 10.6 mi, about 19 min |
Seacrest Country Day School | 7100 Davis Blvd, Naples 34104 | PK to 12 | 465 | 11.8 mi, about 19 min | 12.9 mi, about 23 min |
Drive times are free-flow OSRM routing. Seacrest Country Day School describes itself as a “Preschool through Grade 12 independent school in Naples.”
NCES also lists, within the same 10 miles: Naples Christian Academy (PK to 8, 168 students), Naples Adventist Christian School (PK to 8, 70), Vanderbilt Presbyterian Childcare Learning Center (PK to K, 94), Educational Pathways Academy (1 to 8, 51), Emilio Sanchez American School (8 to 12, 38), Corkscrew Christian School (PK to 10, 13) and, across the county line in Bonita Springs, Gospel Baptist Christian School (PK to 12, 85). Private schools receive no Florida school grade; tuition and admissions come only from each school.
Three PK to 12 private schools, First Baptist Academy, Community School of Naples and The Village School of Naples, sit within about 13 to 19 minutes of the Quail Creek gate off-peak.

The nearest hospitals to Quail Creek Country Club are NCH North Hospital on Health Park Boulevard and Physicians Regional Medical Center, North on Creekside Boulevard, each about 12 minutes from the gate off-peak. Both have emergency departments; Lee Health’s Level II trauma center in Fort Myers is about 35 minutes away.
Healthcare access is a daily question here. The Collier County tax roll (2026 preliminary) shows 74.2% of Quail Creek homes carrying a Florida homestead exemption, and the census tract that contains Quail Creek has a median resident age of 67.8 (ACS 2020-2024 tract tables). The short answer is that two full hospitals sit within about five road miles of the gate, west on Immokalee Road; the rest of this section covers what each one does.
Facility | Address | What it is, per the operator | From the Quail Creek gate | From the Immokalee Rd entrance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
NCH North Hospital | 11190 Health Park Blvd, Naples 34110 | Hospital; emergency department; pediatric and OB emergency; HSS at NCH Orthopedic Hospital on campus; cardiac and pulmonary rehab | 4.7 mi, about 12 min | 3.5 mi, about 7 min |
Physicians Regional Medical Center, North | 1285 Creekside Blvd, Naples 34109 | Hospital with emergency department; inpatient rehabilitation facility at the same address | 4.8 mi, about 12 min | 3.7 mi, about 8 min |
Physicians Regional Medical Center, Pine Ridge | 6101 Pine Ridge Rd, Naples 34119 | Hospital with emergency department | 6.8 mi, about 14 min | 5.6 mi, about 9 min |
NCH Baker Hospital | 350 7th St N, Naples 34102 | Hospital; emergency department | 14.0 mi, about 25 min | 12.9 mi, about 20 min |
Lee Health Coconut Point Emergency Department | 23450 Via Coconut Point, Estero 34135 | Emergency department open 24/7, 25 rooms, on a 31-acre campus | 14.4 mi, about 25 min | 13.3 mi, about 20 min |
Physicians Regional Medical Center, Collier Blvd | 8300 Collier Blvd, Naples 34114 | Hospital with emergency department | 15.9 mi, about 26 min | 14.8 mi, about 21 min |
Gulf Coast Medical Center, Trauma and Emergency Center | 13685 Doctors Way, Fort Myers 33912 | State-approved Level II trauma center | 25.2 mi, about 35 min | 24.1 mi, about 30 min |

NCH, which now styles itself Naples Comprehensive Health, lists its North Naples campus as NCH North Hospital, 11190 Health Park Blvd (NCH directory). Its department listings name an emergency department, a pediatric emergency department and OB emergency, plus cardiac rehabilitation and pulmonary rehab on the campus.
Some older listings put the North Naples campus at an Immokalee Road address. We use NCH’s own directory address, Health Park Boulevard, which is about 4.7 road miles and 12 minutes from the Quail Creek gate by our routing.
The North Naples campus also holds HSS at NCH Orthopedic Hospital, listed in NCH’s directory in Building 2, Floor 2. WGCU reported on May 9, 2025 that NCH, in partnership with New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery, would open the all-orthopedic hospital in mid-May 2025, pending accreditation (WGCU). For a golf and racquet community, a dedicated orthopedic hospital about 12 minutes away is a practical fact, not a marketing one.
Physicians Regional Healthcare System runs three hospitals with emergency departments in Collier County, per its locations page:
The same page says the system operates urgent care facilities, but it does not list their addresses, so none is routed here.
NCH’s cardiac program is the Rooney Heart Institute at NCH. Its outpatient sites in the NCH directory include Creekside, 1285 Creekside Blvd E, Suite 102, with a Cardiology Device Clinic in the same building; that is the same Creekside Boulevard complex as Physicians Regional North, which makes it the nearest institute site to Quail Creek (our reading of the shared street address). Other sites include Northeast at 15420 Collier Blvd, Moorings Park, Briggs at 399 9th St N, Southeast at 7718 Collier Blvd, and vascular surgery at 311 9th St N and at Northpark on Tamiami Trail N. NCH’s own North Naples hospital page carries news of new catheterization and electrophysiology labs.
Serious trauma in this part of Southwest Florida goes north. Lee Health describes the Gulf Coast Medical Center Trauma and Emergency Center, 13685 Doctors Way, Suite 100, Fort Myers, as a “state-approved Level II trauma center” and, in its own words, “the only trauma center between Sarasota and Miami” (Lee Health). That second line is the health system’s claim. By our routing it is 25.2 road miles and about 35 minutes from the Quail Creek gate, off-peak, north on I-75. How any emergency call is routed is an EMS protocol decision, and we make no claim about it.
Independent walk-in clinics near Health Park Boulevard appear on map services, but we did not verify them with an operator’s own site, so they are not listed here. Hours change; check the operator’s page before you go.
We did not obtain clean coordinates for these three, so no drive time is given for them.
Quail Creek sits in unincorporated North Naples, and the fire district that most likely serves it is the North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District; its board was asked to set a maximum of 1.00 mill for the North Naples Special District Area for fiscal 2025-26 (district board packet, July 31, 2025). That Quail Creek falls in the North Naples area is our inference from location; a Quail Creek tax bill would confirm it. The nearest station and any response time were not researched, and no public dataset resolves response time for a single address, so we do not publish one.

The Quail Creek Country Club gate is about 6 minutes from I-75 Exit 111, 12 minutes from NCH North Hospital, 19 minutes from Vanderbilt Beach and 35 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport, by free-flow road routing. In season, January to April, Immokalee Road, I-75 and US 41 run longer.
Every figure here is a measured road distance, and every time is a free-flow estimate, which in North Naples means a floor, not a typical day.
The club’s directions page gives the route: take I-75 to Exit 111 (Immokalee Road), turn onto Valewood Drive, continue straight through the traffic circle, and the club is at the end of Valewood on the right. In road terms: Valewood Drive meets Immokalee Road about half a mile east of I-75 Exit 111; from there it runs about a mile north, past Quail Creek Village, to the single Quail Creek gate.
That mile matters for two reasons. It adds about five minutes to every trip, and it runs through a different community first.
Both communities use Valewood Drive and ZIP 34119, and both carry “Quail Creek” in their names, so navigation apps and delivery drivers mix them up. The simple tells:
“Quail Creek Dr” does not exist in the county’s road or school address records; a delivery routed to it is lost.

A second routing run started at the clubhouse, 13300 Valewood Dr, which sits inside the gate. These rows are from the clubhouse, not the gate:

Publix, Pelican Strand | 5624 Strand Blvd, Naples 34110 | 2.7 mi, about 9 min |

Quail Creek has no marina or beach club; owners use Collier County and state-park beaches. The clubhouse sits about 5.9 miles east of the Vanderbilt Beach shoreline in a straight line (our measurement), and the drives run 17 to 20 minutes off-peak:
From the gate, the RSW trip is a mile down Valewood Drive and half a mile of Immokalee Road before the interstate, with no cross-town driving, one of the quieter advantages of this location.
The nearest full grocery store is Publix at Pelican Strand, 5624 Strand Blvd, about 9 minutes from the clubhouse across I-75. The next is the Publix at 15265 Collier Blvd, about 12 minutes east. Publix’s only store with an Immokalee Road street address in this area is at Neighborhood Shoppes at Orangetree, 13550 Immokalee Rd, about 20 minutes east. For larger shopping, Mercato is about 17 minutes from the gate and Waterside Shops about 20.
Artis-Naples, home to Hayes Hall, The Baker Museum and the Naples Philharmonic (Artis-Naples), is about 21 minutes from the clubhouse. North Collier Regional Park on Livingston Road, about 12 minutes, is a large county regional park; FDOT held its September 1, 2026 I-75 public meeting there. Paradise Coast Sports Complex is about 23 minutes, and Naples Botanical Garden about 29.
Downtown Miami is about 128 road miles, roughly 2.5 hours from the gate by I-75 across Alligator Alley; downtown Tampa is about 156 road miles, roughly 3 hours north on I-75. Both are free-flow figures to city-center points, and real trips commonly run longer.
January to April, Immokalee Road, I-75 and US 41 carry far more traffic than the free-flow model assumes, and the Immokalee Road corridor is the one every Quail Creek trip starts on. The Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization has projected 164% more traffic on Immokalee Road by 2045, about 35,000 daily trips, and calls it a “high crash corridor,” as reported by Gulfshore Business. Treat every time on this page as the best case. No traffic-adjusted study for these trips was found, so drive your real commute at the real hour, in February, before you buy.

The biggest change coming to Quail Creek Country Club’s doorstep is FDOT’s rebuild of I-75 Exit 111 into a diverging diamond, part of an I-75 widening that news reports price at $578 million to more than $600 million. Inside the gates, both courses are being rebuilt through 2027, and a driving-range netting dispute awaits final county action.
Quail Creek itself is built out: 287 of 291 homesites carry a home on the Collier County tax roll (2026 preliminary), and the land is zoned RSF-2 for the homes and GC for the courses, not a planned development with unbuilt entitlements. So most of the change an owner will live with happens on the roads outside the gate. Everything below carries its status and date, and we mark what is FDOT’s or the county’s record and what is news reporting.
The largest construction project in Quail Creek is inside it. Per the club’s strategic planning page, members voted to approve the capital project in March 2025, and the work runs one course at a time:
Date | Step |
|---|---|
April 1, 2026 | The Creek and the practice facility closed for construction |
December 1, 2026 | The Creek’s scheduled reopening |
April 1, 2027 | Construction begins on The Quail |
December 1, 2027 | The Quail’s scheduled reopening |
The club’s December 12, 2025 release, as carried by The Golf Wire, puts the cost at $26 million for a wall-to-wall renovation of all 36 holes by architect Ron Forse, with every green rebuilt in TifEagle and a redesigned practice facility; the builder is Clarke Construction Group of Fort Myers, with Nutt handling irrigation. The club’s stated aim is to “enhance playability, modernize infrastructure, and preserve the Arthur Hills character.” The club has not published how the project is funded.
For owners, the practical reading is ours: through December 2027, one course is under construction each April to December, which means trucks, turf work and a closed course behind some homes for eight months at a time.
Exit 111 is Quail Creek’s front door to the interstate: the Valewood Drive entrance is 0.5 road miles from the northbound on-ramp, and the gate about 1.6 miles. FDOT District 1’s project page for FPID 454099-1 describes a study “to evaluate capacity improvements and safety enhancements at the I-75/Immokalee Road interchange in Lee and Collier counties,” evaluating conversion of the existing diamond to a “high-volume narrower diverging diamond interchange (DDI).”
The FDOT page sets the schedule:
FDOT’s separate I-75 widening project, below, also lists a “new diverging diamond interchange” at Immokalee Road. In short: FDOT lists construction of the Exit 111 diverging diamond starting in early 2027, within a corridor project whose first work begins in fall 2026. We do not promise a completion date, because no FDOT page we read gives one.
Collier already has one. The I-75 interchange at Pine Ridge Road, Exit 107, switched to diverging-diamond traffic flow on June 1, 2026, with final completion expected in mid-2027, as the Naples Daily News reported (syndicated report). For a Quail Creek owner curious what Exit 111 will feel like, driving Exit 107 is the local preview.
FDOT’s project page for FPID 452544-1 covers about 21 miles of I-75 from north of Golden Gate Parkway to south of Alico Road, in Collier and Lee counties. It lists the phase as “Construction,” starting mid 2026, with this scope:
FDOT held public meetings from August 31 to September 2, 2026, including one on September 1 at North Collier Regional Park, and plans a public hearing in late 2026.
News reports add detail, and they differ. WGCU reported on September 20, 2026 that construction begins in fall 2026, with the first focus area from Bonita Beach Road to Immokalee Road finishing in early 2027 and the whole job taking about three years. WGCU on August 31, 2026 put the budget at $578 million; WINK News on September 1, 2026 put it at “over $600 million” and about four years. FDOT’s page states no cost. News reports put the corridor budget at roughly $578 million to more than $600 million.
For Quail Creek, the first construction zone runs on the stretch of I-75 its owners use most, the Immokalee Road to Bonita Beach Road segment, starting this fall.
As reported by WGCU, the widening includes 20 segments of 22-foot noise walls, about 16 miles in total, costing about $77 million and benefiting 3,741 homes, with an average reduction of 7.4 decibels. WGCU’s August 31 report gave FDOT’s criteria as at least a 5-decibel reduction and no more than $64,000 per benefited property, and named communities in Estero that were not recommended for walls. WINK reported that FDOT said the noise study was not complete and wall locations could change.
Quail Creek does not front I-75: county parcel records put Pelican Strand and Cypress Woods between the community’s west edge and the interstate. Whether any wall is proposed near Quail Creek was not found in our research; FDOT’s noise study report and the late-2026 hearing exhibits are the documents that will say.
About two miles west, beyond I-75 (our estimate from road geography), Collier County is designing a four-lane flyover to carry Livingston Road over Immokalee Road, with an adaptive signal replacing the existing one. As reported by Gulfshore Business on July 28, 2026 and WINK News:
The same Gulfshore Business article names intersection improvements on Immokalee Road at Juliet Boulevard, the Walmart entrance, the TownePlace Suites entrance, Northbrooke Drive and Logan Boulevard, plus a Veterans Memorial Boulevard extension. Northbrooke Drive and Logan Boulevard sit on the Immokalee Road segment east of I-75, near the Valewood Drive entrance (our reading of the road map). Status and dates for each were not located; Collier County Transportation Engineering’s project pages and the Board of County Commissioners’ agendas would hold them.
At 7576 Immokalee Road, on the south side just east of Logan Boulevard, roughly a mile east of Valewood Drive (our estimate), Roers Companies is building The Karlyn, a three-story community of 159 market-rate senior apartments on 9 acres: 42 one-bedroom, 38 one-bedroom-plus-den, 61 two-bedroom and 18 three-bedroom units. As reported by Gulfshore Business and the Naples Press, the land was cleared in November 2024 with completion targeted for April 2026; a later Naples Press report described it as under construction. Whether it has opened was not confirmed.
West of I-75, Collier’s Growth Management Plan carries an Immokalee Road Interchange Residential Infill Subdistrict, adopted by Ordinance 2021-32 on September 28, 2021 (county subdistrict map). The mapped area sits between Immokalee Road, Livingston Road, Strand Boulevard and Sandra Bay Drive, about one to two miles from Valewood Drive (our estimate). It allows residential infill near the interchange; the density terms sit in the county’s Future Land Use Element.
We read the Collier County Planning Commission records for November 6, 2025 and March 5, 2026. Neither carried an item on Quail Creek or Valewood Drive; the Immokalee Road items on those dates were many miles east. We did not run a radius search of every petition within a mile of the gate; the county’s petition search is the record that would.
Beyond about three miles east, the Immokalee Road corridor is where Collier’s growth is concentrated:
None of these is within a mile of Quail Creek. All of them add trips to the road Quail Creek owners use every day.
In 2021 the county completed a 24-inch sewer force main under a design-build contract: about 19,000 feet of pipe from the Heritage Bay master pump station west along Immokalee Road, then south on Logan Boulevard to a pump station on Vanderbilt Beach Road, as described by the contractor’s project page. It passes the Immokalee Road frontage east of the community (our reading). No current Water-Sewer District capital project within a mile of Valewood Drive was located.
The Collier County tax roll (2026 preliminary) shows these millage components on Quail Creek homes: county 3.9293, school 4.1470, other 1.3257, a total of 9.4020 mills (the total is our sum). The county line matches the fiscal 2026 rates the Board of County Commissioners adopted, per its final budget hearing presentation: General Fund 3.0107, Water Pollution Control 0.0246 and Conservation Collier 0.2096, a countywide 3.2449, plus the Unincorporated Area General Fund 0.6844.
For fiscal 2027, the Naples Press reported that the commission set the same rates as maximums on July 14, with hearings on September 3 and 17, 2026, and Sparker’s Digest reported that a proposal to lower the Conservation Collier rate was deferred to the final hearing. The final fiscal 2027 rates were not confirmed as of this writing.
On the same 2026 roll, the median Quail Creek tax bill is $11,722.88: $9,544.85 for homesteaded homes and $15,216.33 for non-homestead homes. Every one of the 287 homes shows $0.00 in non-ad valorem assessments, and there is no community development district.
One pipeline item is inside the gates and matters to buyers and sellers of homes near the driving range and Hole No. 10: tall ball-containment netting and the countywide rule it prompted. We set it out neutrally, with the source for each step.
Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
April 2024 | The club installed 70-foot poles carrying mesh netting to contain driving-range balls near Hole No. 10, after six golfers were struck by range balls at that hole, one with a “major injury”; the poles went up without county permits | |
April 4, 2025 | A Collier County Special Magistrate found violations and set a 120-day compliance period | Naples Daily News, May 5, 2026 |
August 2025 | The compliance deadline passed; fines of $200 a day began accruing, uncollected as of May 2026 | Naples Daily News, May 5, 2026 |
2026 | The club sought a Land Development Code amendment allowing 70-foot containment structures; residents proposed a 35-foot cap | |
April 21, 2026 | At the county’s Land Development Review subcommittee, a county staff member stated of the club land, “this is not a PUD,” and staff noted only “9-10” of the county’s roughly 70 courses sit in the Golf Course zoning district | DSAC agenda packet, June 3, 2026 |
2026 | The full Development Services Advisory Committee voted 6-3 to approve neither private amendment and asked the county to write its own standard | DSAC agenda packet, June 3, 2026 |
July 10, 2026 | A fine-imposition hearing was scheduled; its outcome was not located | Naples Daily News, May 5, 2026 |
July 16, 2026 | The Planning Commission advanced a compromise: containment structures up to 35 feet allowed by right as accessory uses, taller structures subject to conditional-use review (landscaping, setbacks, netting design, compatibility), all requiring building permits and site-improvement plans | |
July 22, 2026 | The club “dropped a controversial proposal that would have allowed it to have much taller barrier fencing by right” | |
September 2026 | Final action by the Board of County Commissioners on the countywide rule: not confirmed | Collier County commission agendas |
Two notes on the record. The Citizen Portal headline says “Commission adopts,” but the body of the summary describes the Planning Commission, which recommends; it is not the Board of County Commissioners’ final vote. And news stories call the club “Quail Creek Golf Club”; the legal name is Quail Creek Country Club, Inc.
The facts a buyer or seller can rely on today are the ones above. What is not yet known, as of September 2026:
We make no claim about the effect on any home’s value; no sale record in our research ties a price to the netting. Our advice is procedural. A seller near the range should disclose the facts plainly and let the county record speak. A buyer considering a home near the range or Hole No. 10 should stand in the backyard, look at the netting line, and read the county’s final rule before the inspection period ends. The practice facility is part of the 2026 course rebuild, so what the area looks like in 2027 may differ from what it looks like today.
Selling a Quail Creek home near the range, or anywhere on the Immokalee Road side? The diverging diamond and the netting rule are the two items a buyer will ask about, and a listing that answers with dates and county records reads as more credible than one that ignores them.

Quail Creek Country Club homes are governed by one mandatory association, the Quail Creek Property Owners Association, behind a single gated entrance on Valewood Drive. Leasing minimums, pet rules and the architectural criteria are not published online; they sit in the recorded Declaration and POA rules, which a buyer should request before closing.
That is the honest headline. At some Naples communities the rule book is a click away; at Quail Creek it is not. What follows is everything the public record does show, dated, and for everything it does not, the exact document that holds the answer.
The POA’s former website, preserved in a 2022 capture, lists the governing documents by title:
Document | Date | What it governs |
|---|---|---|
Amended and Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants for Quail Creek | not stated | Use restrictions that run with the land |
Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration | not stated | The master covenants |
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation | filed June 1, 1998 | The POA’s powers (Sunbiz PDF) |
Bylaws | May 26, 2015 | How the POA is run |
Architectural Planning Criteria | September 22, 2021 | Exterior changes |
Only the 1998 Articles are readable online. The Declarations, Bylaws and Architectural Planning Criteria are not posted anywhere public that we found; they sit in the Collier County Clerk’s official records (the recorded Declarations) and in the POA’s governing-document packet, which a seller’s resale disclosure package should include.
The 1998 Amended and Restated Articles are the one governing document in the public record, and they set the frame:
The POA is Quail Creek Property Owners Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit filed June 29, 1981, active (Sunbiz record). There are no sub-associations: no condominium, villa or neighborhood association is tied to any Quail Creek street, and there is no state-registered entity named “Quail Creek Estates.”
Quail Creek has a single gated entrance on Valewood Drive. How it is staffed today is not in any current public document, so here is what the record shows, with dates:
The 2026 staffing, hours and access technology are not published. The POA’s annual budget (its security line) and its access-control policy hold them. We do not claim 24-hour staffing today; the POA described it in 2019.
The club sets its own rules for visitors, and they are strict. Per the club’s For Realtors page and directions page:
Buying a home does not bring club membership. The club describes itself as “completely separate” from the homes, with “no bundled or minimum Membership requirement for the homeowners,” and says 70% of its members live outside the gates (same For Realtors page).
No leasing rule for Quail Creek is published online. We looked for a minimum lease term, a cap on leases per year, a board-approval requirement, tenant registration fees and whether a tenant receives club privileges; none appears in any public document we found.
The documents that hold the answer:
Separately, club privileges for a tenant are the club’s decision, not the POA’s; since the house carries no club membership, a tenant’s access depends on the owner’s own membership terms and the club’s rules, neither of which is published.
A buyer whose plan depends on rental income should get the Declaration and rules in hand, and read the leasing article, before the inspection period ends.
Quail Creek’s pet rules are not published online. Some real estate listings call the community “pet-friendly”; none of them quotes a governing document, and we do not treat them as a source. Limits on number, size or breed, leash rules, and whether pets may use the course or its paths would all sit in the recorded Declaration and the POA’s rules.
One more thing pet owners should know, from the record: a 2010 resident column described it as “not unusual to see eagles, otters, foxes, the occasional alligator and other native wildlife” on the courses (Naples Daily News, 2010), and the Creek alone has water on 14 of its 18 holes. Treat every lake edge as wildlife habitat.
The POA’s rule is short and broad: “Any exterior modifications to homes, including paint colors, landscaping changes, and structural additions, must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee” (POA page). The detailed standards are the Architectural Planning Criteria dated September 22, 2021, which are not public.
On our reading of “any exterior modifications,” that covers everything a Quail Creek renovator touches outside: roofs, windows, shutters, generators, pools and screen enclosures, paint, landscaping, driveways, additions and, for a teardown, the new house itself. The ARC’s procedure, fees, review timeline and any deposit are not published. Get the criteria before hiring an architect, not after.
Quail Creek’s sign rules have been to court. In Quail Creek Property Owners Ass’n v. Hunter, 538 So. 2d 1288 (Fla. 2d DCA, February 3, 1989), the appeals court enforced paragraph 13 of the recorded Declaration, which allowed one sign per lot, “not more than two feet square,” bearing the owner’s name and address (opinion).
Whether that rule survives unchanged in the current Declaration is not known; the current documents carry “Amended and Restated” titles whose dates and text are not public. A seller should ask the POA what signage is allowed before listing, and should not assume a standard yard sign is.
The POA’s annual assessment is not published, and we do not estimate it; directory sites that quote a monthly figure do not cite a POA document, and we reject them. The document that states it, with a date, is an estoppel certificate under section 720.30851, Florida Statutes, which a seller orders at contract; the POA’s adopted annual budget states it too.
The same certificate is where a buyer learns any transfer fee, capital contribution or estoppel fee due at closing, none of which is published. And never blend the POA with the club: POA assessments are mandatory for every lot, while club initiation and dues apply only to members.
No source in our research describes trash and recycling service at Quail Creek. One fact frames the question: the 2026 roll shows no non-ad valorem line of any kind on a Quail Creek home, so no county garbage assessment appears on the tax bill. How collection is arranged and paid, and what the pickup rules are, is not in any record we read. The POA’s budget and rules, and Collier County’s solid-waste service-area record for Section 17, would answer it. Ask the POA office.
Every Quail Creek home has a Naples, Florida 34119 address in unincorporated Collier County, on one of ten named streets. How mail is delivered inside the gate, and whether mailbox design is regulated, is not in any record we read; a mailbox is an exterior feature, so the Architectural Planning Criteria would govern its design if they address it. Quail Creek Village shares ZIP 34119 and Valewood Drive, so a precise house number and street name matter for every delivery (see the drive-times section for how to tell the two apart).
Quail Creek’s 291 homesites sit on ten named streets, with Pond Apple Drive forming a four-sided loop around the community. By our reading of the county parcel layer, every homesite backs onto club-owned golf land, whether fairway, lake or native buffer. That land belongs to the club, not the POA, and owning the home does not grant use of it. Whether owners may walk, bike or walk dogs on the course or cart paths is a club rule that is not published.
Who owns the streets, the POA or the county, and how many miles of road the POA maintains, are also not published; the recorded plats and their dedication language hold that answer.
Before the inspection period ends, a buyer should have:
As McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we would rather hand a buyer this list on day one than find a leasing clause after closing.

Selling a home in Quail Creek Country Club means selling a house, not a club membership. The club is a separate corporation, 70% of its members live outside the gates, and your buyer pool includes people who never join. What moves price here is course timing, land value, flood zone, disclosure and the buyer’s tax reset.
Most North Naples golf communities sell a bundle: the home, the membership and the dues arrive together. Quail Creek does not, per the club’s own For Realtors page, and a listing plan written for a bundled club will misread both the buyer pool and the objections. The sections below are the rules we work from on a Quail Creek listing, each tied to the club’s own pages, the county record or the statute that governs it.
The club says it in writing on its page for real estate agents: the club and the homes are “completely separate”, and “there is no bundled or minimum Membership requirement for the homeowners.” The same page states that about 70% of members live outside Quail Creek Estates, and that the club does not offer “Resident” or “Non-resident” memberships because “the joining fees & dues are the same.” The wording has been stable for years; it reads the same in the December 2024 capture and the September 2021 capture.
Three consequences for a seller:
Home ownership does buy one thing at the club: queue position. The club’s realtor page states: “As a Class A Golf Membership becomes available, they are offered to Golf Waitlist Members on an alternating basis between non-owners and owners with Quail Creek Estates” (club realtor page). That is alternating priority, not a guarantee, and it is a genuine selling point for a golfing buyer who would otherwise compete with the 70% of members who live elsewhere.
What a golfing buyer will ask you, and what the public record says as of September 2026:
The honest framing for a golfing buyer: owning in Quail Creek Estates gives you alternating priority for Class A openings when the club offers them, and nothing more. We put that sentence, with the club’s own link, into the listing package so the buyer’s agent does not invent a better or worse version of it.
A buyer touring your home is inside the gate, but not inside the club. The club’s realtor page says showings in the Estates do not permit self-guided club visits; tours are scheduled with the Membership office. The directions page sets tour hours: off-season (May to September) Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; in season (October to April) Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
For a golfing buyer, we book the club tour for the same day as the second showing. A buyer who sees the Sports Center and Spa, the Greenside Grille and the practice facility on the day they walk your lanai makes a decision faster than one who tries to walk into the clubhouse unannounced and is turned away. Book it in writing, give the Membership office the buyer’s name ahead of time, and tell the gatehouse.
Both golf courses are being rebuilt, one per year, and the calendar is published on the club’s strategic planning page:
Course | Closed for construction | Scheduled reopening |
|---|---|---|
The Creek, plus the practice facility | April 1, 2026 | December 1, 2026 |
The Quail | April 1, 2027 | December 1, 2027 |
Members approved the capital project by vote in March 2025. A December 12, 2025 release put the cost at $26 million for a wall-to-wall renovation of all 36 holes by architect Ron Forse, with every green rebuilt in TifEagle and a redesigned practice facility (The Golf Wire); it is the largest course project in the club’s history. The club has not published how the project is funded, and this page does not guess.
What the calendar means for a seller:
Ratings will change when the rebuilt courses are re-rated. Today’s figures, per the Florida State Golf Association, are pre-renovation: the Creek plays 6,836 yards from the Black tees at 73.1 and a 134 slope, the Quail 6,481 yards at 71.7 and 139, both par 72.
Quail Creek has a land market, and a seller of an original 1980s home should know it before pricing. On the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, seven qualified vacant-lot sales have recorded since 2020, from $1,195,000 to $1,525,000. These are teardown lots: parcels sold with the old house removed or about to be.
One Valewood Drive homesite tells the whole story in three recorded sales. It sold vacant for $1,338,800 in 2023 and $1,400,000 in 2024, then sold as a newly built 2025 home in December 2025 for $5,045,000, the highest sale in the trailing twelve months (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
What the land record means for pricing:
A dedicated Rosewood Lane (Block Z) sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.
The housing stock is old, and that splits the buyer pool. On the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, the median main residence was built in 1989; 163 of the 287 homes date from the 1980s and 92 from the 1990s, so 255 of 287 were built before 2000. The median county base area is 4,075 square feet.
Four facts separate a 1980s original from a rebuilt or renovated home in a buyer’s arithmetic:
The pricing point: in the trailing twelve months the county record shows a 1990 Pond Apple Drive East home at $3,870,000 and a 1986 Pond Apple Drive East home at $2,925,000, both on the same street and four years apart in age. Age is not price here; condition, lot and view are. Price your home from the individual sales on your street and your product type, not from a community median.
This is public record, and a buyer’s agent will find it. In 2024 the club installed tall ball-containment poles near Hole 10 and the driving range. Per the Naples Daily News (May 5, 2026), the poles are about 70 feet tall and went up after golfers were struck by range balls; they were installed without permits, a Collier Special Magistrate found violations on April 4, 2025, and $200-a-day fines began accruing in August 2025.
The county process that followed:
How we handle it on a listing: if your home is near the range or Hole 10, disclose the facts, not opinions. State what is installed, where, and the status of the county process with dates. Do not characterize the structures’ effect on value; nothing in the recorded sale data we read supports a value claim either way, and this page makes none. A buyer who reads the dispute from your disclosure trusts the rest of your disclosure. A buyer who discovers it from a news search after going under contract starts renegotiating.
Every lot owner is a member of one mandatory association, Quail Creek Property Owners Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit filed June 29, 1981 (Sunbiz record). Under its 1998 Amended and Restated Articles, membership is appurtenant to the lot, and the association may levy and lien assessments and exercise “architectural control regulation of all single family residences.” There are no sub-associations and no condominium layer.
What the seller orders, and when:
Signs. In 1989 a Florida appeals court enforced the Declaration’s rule allowing one sign per lot, “not more than two feet square”, carrying the owner’s name and address (Quail Creek Property Owners Ass’n v. Hunter, 538 So. 2d 1288). Whether that rule survives unchanged is not public; ask the POA before any sign goes up. In practice, a gated community of 291 homesites is marketed online and agent to agent, not from the curb.
Florida sellers owe buyers disclosure of known facts that materially affect value and are not readily observable. On top of that general duty, section 689.302 requires a seller of residential real property to complete a flood disclosure at or before the time the sales contract is signed. The form asks whether the seller knows of flooding that damaged the property during the seller’s ownership, whether the seller filed a flood insurance claim, and whether the seller received federal disaster assistance for flood damage.
For Quail Creek, answer from your own records, not from the neighborhood’s reputation. The storm record we read:
Quail Creek is not one flood zone. Every lot sits on FEMA panel 12021C0211H, effective May 16, 2012, and the panel maps a mix of zone X and zone AH, which Collier County’s floodplain FAQ defines as “shallow flooding (usually areas of ponding) where average depths are between 1 and 3 feet”, where mandatory flood insurance applies for federally backed loans. Street sample points on the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer fall both ways, sometimes on the same street: the south end of Valewood Drive samples AH at 12.7 feet while its middle and north sample X; Silver Fox Drive samples X on the east and AH on the west. None of these points is a determination for any house.
What a seller should have in hand:
A zone X lot is not a flood-proof lot. The county’s own FAQ notes that “over 25 % of flood insurance claims nationwide come from structures in X and X500 flood zones.” Say what zone you are in; do not say what it means for the buyer’s risk.
Your tax bill is not your buyer’s tax bill. On the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, the median total tax for a Quail Creek home is $11,722.88; the homesteaded median is $9,544.85 (213 homes) and the non-homestead median is $15,216.33 (74 homes). No home carries a non-ad valorem assessment: $0.00 on all 287, and there is no community development district (Florida Commerce official list of special districts).
Why the buyer’s bill is usually higher:
The best predictor of your buyer is the owner next door. On the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, 213 of 287 Quail Creek homes (74.2%) carry a Florida homestead exemption, and 257 owners (89.5%) use a Florida mailing address. Among out-of-state owners, Ontario and Wisconsin lead with five each, then Illinois with three.
Two conclusions. First, Quail Creek is a primary-residence community: three in four homes are someone’s homestead, which makes this a year-round decision for most buyers, not a winter purchase. Second, the out-of-state minority is led by Canadian and Midwestern addresses, so a listing launched in October reaches the seasonal owners’ friends before they fly down. Turnover is low, too: 20 of 287 homes sold in the trailing twelve months, 7.0%. A seller is offering one of very few chances a year to buy inside the gate.

Quail Creek Country Club is the member-owned, 36-hole North Naples club where membership is optional for homeowners and the fees are the same for residents and outsiders. Quail West, directly north, requires every owner to hold at least a House membership. Quail Creek Village, directly south, is a separate community with its own Gordon Lewis course.
Every fact below comes from a club’s own website, a county planning layer or the state’s official list of special districts, as recorded in our research. Each community name links to our page for it where one exists. Where our research holds no verified fact, the cell says “Information not available at time of publishing” rather than borrowing a portal’s number. We do not publish fees for other clubs in this table, because we did not read their current fee schedules for this page.

Data pulled: September 2026. Quail Creek, Quail West and Quail Village rows were read from each club’s own site on September 24, 2026. The development-district column comes from the Florida Commerce official list, report dated September 23, 2026; a community not shown with a district may still sit in one we did not test, so the cell says “not available” rather than “none.”
These two are the comparison buyers make most often, partly because of the names and partly because they share a property line: Pond Apple Drive North backs toward Quail West. They also share a lineage. Bob Hardy, one of Quail Creek Country Club’s three first officers, is credited in his obituary with developing Quail Creek, Quail West, Quail Creek Village, Longshore Lake and Cypress Woods.
The structural difference is membership. Quail West states that House membership is the minimum requirement for all its members and that membership is reserved for residents. Quail Creek states the opposite on its For Realtors page: no bundled or minimum requirement, and 70% of its members live elsewhere. For a buyer, that is a choice between a club where every neighbor is a member and one where the neighbors may or may not be. For a Quail Creek seller, it means a buyer who does not golf, or who wants to decide later, has a reason to choose your house over one to the north.
Both clubs run 36 holes, and both have Arthur Hills in their design history: Quail Creek’s courses are Hills originals from 1981 and 1982, being rebuilt by Ron Forse with the stated intent to “preserve the Arthur Hills character”; Quail West’s were Hills designs from 1992, later renovated by Drew Rogers. We have not read Quail West’s current fee schedule for this page and do not compare costs here; our Quail West community page covers that club on its own record.
Quail Creek Village sits directly south, shares the 34119 ZIP code and shares Valewood Drive, and portal listings mix the two constantly. They are different places in every record that matters:
One link connects them: Gordy Lewis, who designed the Quail Village course, is the architect Quail Creek Country Club hired in late 2019 for a comprehensive golf master plan (club strategic planning page).
For a seller, the mix-up matters in pricing. A Quail Creek Village condominium sale showing up in an automated estimate of your Pond Apple Drive home is not a comparable. Our pricing uses only the plats of Quail Creek Country Club: Units One to Four, Block Z and the replat of Lot 1 in Block G.
Four of the sibling communities named above, Pelican Marsh, Talis Park, Mediterra and Heritage Bay, each have a community development district on the Florida Commerce official list. Quail Creek has none, and the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, shows $0.00 in non-ad valorem assessments on every one of its 287 homes. A buyer comparing a Quail Creek tax bill with one from a district community should add that district’s assessment to the other side of the ledger before deciding which is cheaper to own. We did not read those districts’ assessment amounts for this page, so we do not state them.
We have no verified price record for any sibling community in this research, so this page does not rank Quail Creek’s $2,836,000 trailing-twelve-month median against anyone. We also did not read current initiation or dues schedules for Pelican Marsh, Talis Park, Mediterra, Heritage Bay, Grey Oaks, the Vineyards or Olde Cypress, so the table leaves those cells empty. Each linked community page carries that community’s own record. A comparison that fills blank cells from a portal is a comparison we would not trust with our own money.
If your household wants large single-family lots, a gated community of 291 homesites, no development district, and the freedom to join a 36-hole club or not, Quail Creek is the North Naples option built for that choice. If you want every neighbor to be a fellow member and a club where the membership comes with the house, Quail West’s required-membership model, described on its membership page, is the contrast. If you want a smaller, lower-maintenance villa, Quail Creek Village next door is a different product at a different scale.

Quail Creek Country Club’s strongest arguments are optional membership in a member-owned 36-hole club, lots of about three-quarters of an acre, no development district and both courses rebuilt by December 2027. Its honest weaknesses are rising and partly unpublished club costs, construction seasons, mixed flood zones and mostly 1980s and 1990s homes.
Each point below is drawn from a club, county, state or federal record.
Each point below is drawn from the same records, and none is softened.
Quail Creek fits a household that wants a large single-family lot inside a gate, a member-owned 36-hole club it can join now, later or never, A-rated zoned schools and no development district, and that sees a 1980s house on three-quarters of an acre as an opportunity rather than a problem.
It does not fit a buyer who wants golf guaranteed with the deed on day one, a buyer who needs published HOA costs and rental rules before touring, a boater or beach-walker, or a buyer who will not accept a construction season on the course behind the house.

If you’re searching for the best Quail Creek Country Club listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need to sell my house in Quail Creek Country Club…’, you are selling a large-lot, single-family home whose buyer does not have to join the club, in a year when the courses are being rebuilt. McGreevy and Comisar sell Quail Creek on those facts.
Quail Creek is not a community where a sign and an open house do the work. Only about 20 homes a year change hands, the club and the house are sold separately, the course calendar changes what a buyer sees from your lanai, and part of the community sits in a flood zone that a lender will price before your buyer does. A listing plan that ignores any of those costs a seller days, and days cost money. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate, and on a Quail Creek listing that experience is spent on the unglamorous part: the POA estoppel ordered the day the contract is signed, the LOMA and elevation certificate pulled before the lender asks, the club tour booked for the buyer’s second showing, and pricing built from every recorded Quail Creek sale, street by street.
Honors and recognition:
Our listing plan for Quail Creek follows from the rules above:
Data updated: September 2026. The figures below are qualified sales of improved single-family homes on the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, for the trailing twelve months from August 29, 2025 to August 28, 2026 (the latest sale on the roll recorded August 3, 2026).
From 2021 to 2025 the median qualified sale rose 78.8%, and the median per square foot of county base area rose 81.2%, from $374.29 to $678.29. The 2023 median of $2,800,000 was followed by a lower 2024 median on 14 sales, so the line is not straight; samples of 11 to 27 sales a year are thin, and one rebuilt home can move a median.
On the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix (Development Name QUAIL CREEK), 22 MLS-marketed homes closed between September 26, 2025 and August 3, 2026 at a median $2,292,000, a median 96.5 days on market and a median 92.10% of final list price, and 4 homes were active on September 26, 2026.

A dedicated Valewood Drive sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.
No. The club states that it and the homes are “completely separate” and that there is “no bundled or minimum Membership requirement for the homeowners” (club realtor page). About 70% of club members live outside Quail Creek Estates, and fees and dues are the same for residents and non-residents. Your buyer can join, wait, or never join. If they want golf, owning in the Estates gives them alternating priority for Class A openings with non-owners on the Golf Waitlist, which the club listed as “Not Currently Available” in September 2026. Put the club’s own wording in your listing package so no one paraphrases it.
It depends on which course you face and when you need to close. The Creek and the practice facility are closed April 1 to December 1, 2026; the Quail is closed April 1 to December 1, 2027 (club strategic planning page). Both windows fall in the off-season, so January to March, the heart of the season, falls outside both closures. The strongest window is December 2026 through March 2027, when a buyer sees a rebuilt Creek and an open Quail. A home on the Quail listed in summer 2027 should state the reopening date and use photographs taken before construction.
Rarely as a lot, on the current record. Seven qualified vacant-lot sales since 2020 recorded between $1,195,000 and $1,525,000, and the lowest improved sale in the trailing twelve months was $1,700,000, a 1982 home on Valewood Drive (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). One Valewood Drive homesite sold vacant for $1,400,000 in 2024 and as a new home for $5,045,000 in December 2025. If your home needs a full renovation, the likeliest buyer may be a rebuilder, and your listing should lead with acreage, flood zone and ARC criteria rather than the kitchen. We price both ways and show you the two numbers.
Start with your flood file: any Letter of Map Amendment, the elevation certificate (the county may have it for homes built after September 14, 1979 in an A zone), and your insurance claim history for the Florida flood disclosure under section 689.302. Add your roof permit and age, a current wind-mitigation report, Architectural Review Committee approvals for any exterior work, and the POA’s governing documents. The POA estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 is ordered once you have a contract; the POA does not publish its fee.
If your home is near Hole 10 or the driving range, treat it as a disclosure item and disclose facts, not opinions. The public record shows about 70-foot containment poles installed in 2024, a Special Magistrate violation finding on April 4, 2025, a Planning Commission compromise on July 16, 2026 allowing 35 feet by right and taller structures only by conditional use, and final county action pending as of September 2026. Do not characterize the effect on value; nothing in the recorded sale data we read supports a claim either way. Your closing attorney can advise on exact wording.
Usually, if you have held a homestead for years. Under section 193.155, a homestead’s assessment grows by no more than the lower of 3% or CPI each year and resets to just value on January 1 after a sale. On the 2026 preliminary roll the Quail Creek homesteaded median tax is $9,544.85 and the non-homestead median $15,216.33; no home pays a non-ad valorem assessment or a development district levy. Give buyers your bill, and tell them it is yours, not theirs.

Quail Creek Country Club is a gated, member-owned golf club in North Naples, Florida 34119, surrounded by 291 single-family homesites on about 640 acres, with two 18-hole Arthur Hills courses, The Creek and The Quail. Club membership is optional for homeowners. The answers below draw on club, county, state and federal records.
Quail Creek Country Club does not publish a single price, and membership is a choice, not a cost of owning a home. The last published Class A Golf initiation was $150,000, in the club’s Membership Guide 2025 and on its June 2025 Class A Golf page, plus monthly dues. The live Social/Sports membership page lists a $40,000 initiation plus tax, plus monthly dues (September 2026). Monthly dues for either category are not published; they sit in the dues schedule the Membership Office issues to applicants. The club’s page for realtors says joining fees and dues are the same whether you live inside the gates or not.
Class A Golf initiation rose six-fold on the club’s own pages: $25,000 in August 2020, $40,000 by July 2021, $60,000 in January 2022, $85,000 by June 2022, $100,000 in August 2024 and $150,000 in the Membership Guide 2025. Social/Sports went from no initiation fee in August 2019 to $5,000 in January 2021, $20,000 plus tax in February 2023 and $40,000 plus tax on the live page. Each figure is dated to an archived capture that shows it; the $25,000 golf fee already appears, as Full Golf, in the August 2019 capture. The Class A page is no longer online, so $150,000 (2025) is the latest public Class A figure.
Not published. Every club page that states an initiation fee adds “plus monthly dues” without a figure, including the live Social/Sports page and the Membership Guide 2025. The dues schedule, any food and beverage minimum and any capital charge sit in member documents the Membership Office issues to applicants. What is public is the club’s scale: its IRS filing for the fiscal year ending August 2024 shows total revenue of $14,535,285 and total expenses of $19,456,413 (ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer). Ask the Membership Office for the current dues schedule in writing before you commit to a purchase that depends on joining.
Three layers, and only two are mandatory. The Quail Creek Property Owners Association assessment is mandatory for every lot, but its amount is not published; the POA budget or an estoppel certificate states it. Property tax is the second: the median 2026 bill across the 287 homes is $11,722.88 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). There is no community development district and no non-ad valorem charge on any of the 287 homes’ tax bills, and Florida’s official special district profiles list no Quail Creek district. Club initiation and dues come third, and only if you join (club realtor page). Never blend the POA and the club into one “HOA fee.”
No. The club’s page for realtors says Quail Creek Country Club and Quail Creek Estates are “completely separate” and that there is “no bundled or minimum Membership requirement for the homeowners.” The same wording appears in the club’s December 2024 and September 2021 captures of that page. Owning a home does not give you club access, and 70% of members live outside the Estates. What is mandatory is the Quail Creek Property Owners Association: every record owner of a residential lot is a member, under the POA’s 1998 Amended and Restated Articles.
Non-bundled. Membership is sold separately from the homes, so a buyer who does not golf pays no initiation and no club dues, and a golfer can join whether or not they own inside the gates. The club’s realtor page adds that it offers no separate “Resident” or “Non-resident” memberships because the joining fees and dues are the same. Home ownership changes one thing: Class A Golf openings go to Golf Waitlist members alternating between non-owners and Quail Creek Estates owners. Quail West, next door, works the other way; its membership page makes House membership the minimum for every member and reserves membership for residents.
Yes. The Social/Sports membership costs $40,000 plus tax to join, plus monthly dues, on the club’s live page (September 2026). It covers social and dining privileges, the fitness center, spa and pool, tennis, pickleball and bocce, and limited golf: six rounds in season, with practice-facility access at $250 a year per the club’s brochure and Membership Guide 2025. The category had no initiation fee in 2019 and cost $5,000 in 2021, so it has risen alongside golf. Social/Sports dues are not published.
It is a category listed on the club’s About page, which describes “full golf privileges” for young professionals. The club’s December 2025 course-renovation release, published by The Golf Wire, calls it “a newly introduced young executive membership.” Age limits, initiation, dues and any conversion to Class A are not published. The club offered a similar path before: in August 2020 an Associate Golf membership for members under 55 cost $5,000, with a further $20,000 due at age 55. Ask the Membership Office for the current terms in writing.
Start with the Membership Office. The club’s directions page says visits are scheduled in advance and confirmed by Membership, with no unaccompanied tours. Tour hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., from May to September, and Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., from October to April. The realtor page lists the membership line as 239-254-7418. Membership has historically been subject to Membership Committee review, per a 2006 club page. The application form itself is not posted online.
There has been. Class A Golf reached a waitlist between October 2021, when the club said only “a handful” remained (capture), and January 2022, when Class A was full (capture). It stayed full, with a paid waitlist, into March 2025. By June 2025 the page read “Class A Golf Memberships are currently available!” Today the membership page lists the Golf Waitlist category as “Not Currently Available” (September 2026) and does not state Class A status. The length of any current queue is not published, so ask the Membership Office before you buy on the strength of golf.
Partly. The club’s realtor page says Class A Golf openings “are offered to Golf Waitlist Members on an alternating basis between non-owners and owners with Quail Creek Estates.” Since 70% of members live outside the Estates, every other opening going to an owner is a real advantage for homeowners. It is queue priority, not a guarantee and not a bundled membership. Waitlist members paid a deposit credited toward Class A, a quarter of the Class A fee in 2022 and 2023 and half of it from 2024, most recently $75,000 plus tax in 2025, credited toward Class A, and played limited golf in the meantime (brochure).
Yes, and most members are non-residents. The club’s realtor page states that 70% of its members live outside Quail Creek Estates and that joining fees and dues are the same for everyone. Class A openings alternate between non-owners and Estates owners on the Golf Waitlist. The club says its members range in age from 29 to 99, with an average of about 60, and include “retired individuals and young families” (membership page). A non-resident follows the same path as anyone else: a scheduled visit with the Membership Office, then the application.
The club is member-owned: the developer turned it over to the members in January 1984, per the club’s founding history. Whether today’s initiation is an equity purchase, and whether any of it comes back when you resign or sell, is not stated on any current club page. A 2007 club FAQ said the club offered only equity memberships and returned 50% of the prevailing fee on resale, but that is a 2007 policy, not a current one. The membership agreement and bylaws hold today’s terms; ask for both before you pay an initiation fee.
No. The club’s realtor page says the club and Quail Creek Estates are “completely separate” with no bundled membership, so a club membership is not attached to the lot and does not pass by deed. A buyer who wants to join applies like any other applicant. Whether a selling member can direct any refund or membership slot to a buyer is not in the club’s public documents; the 50% refund on resale described in the 2007 FAQ is history. The POA membership, by contrast, does run with the lot under the 1998 articles.
Not published. A 2010 resident column in the Naples Daily News said no food minimum was required then, but no current club page repeats it, so treat that as history. What is public: the club’s food and beverage sales were $2,107,344 in the fiscal year ending August 2024, 14.5% of total revenue (ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer). Any current minimum would appear in the dues schedule and membership agreement the Membership Office issues to applicants. Ask for both in writing before you join.
None is published. Members approved the course capital project in March 2025 (club strategic planning page), and the club’s release put the cost at $26 million (The Golf Wire), but the club has not published how it is funded, so we do not assume an assessment, a dues increase or borrowing. The only published annual add-on is the $250 practice-facility fee for Social/Sports members (brochure). On the homeowner side, the 2026 roll shows $0.00 in non-ad valorem assessments on every home (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), and no POA special assessment is published.
No future schedule is published. The dated record shows how fast fees have moved: Class A went from $25,000 in 2020 to $150,000 in the Membership Guide 2025, and Social/Sports from no fee in 2019 to $40,000 plus tax on the live page. The Class A page is no longer online, and the membership page lists the Golf Waitlist as not currently available. With a $26 million rebuild of both courses running through December 2027 (strategic planning page), confirm the fee in writing on the day you apply.
Private. Quail Creek Country Club calls itself “one of the original member-owned private clubs in Naples” on its About page. No club page offers public tee times, and the club’s directions page says every visit is scheduled in advance through the Membership office, with no unaccompanied tours. Homeowners are not members by default, so a house inside the gate does not open the course to you (realtor page). Buyers who want to see the courses and clubhouse should book a tour with Membership before writing an offer that depends on golf.
There is no public green fee because there is no public play. Non-members see the club by appointment with the Membership office (directions page). Inside the membership, the published 2024 and 2025 documents show tiers of golf access: Golf Waitlist members could play three rounds a week in season after 1 p.m., paying green and cart fees, and Social/Sports members get six rounds in season (brochure; Membership Guide 2025). Green and cart fee amounts are not published, and guest rules sit in member documents. During 2026 and 2027 construction, one course at a time is open.
Its members. The developer turned the club over to full member ownership in late January 1984, “without any cost to members” according to a the 2011 Naples Daily News club history (archived print edition), and the club’s founding history records the transfer. The corporation is Quail Creek Country Club, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit filed June 27, 1980 (Florida Division of Corporations) and a 501(c)(7) social club (ProPublica). It owns about 320 acres, roughly half the community’s land (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), and it is a separate corporation from the property owners’ association.
An elected board sets policy and a general manager runs daily operations, as a 2026 BoardRoom magazine club profile describes it, with a bi-monthly “Boardroom Bulletin” to members. Current officers and directors are listed in the club’s annual reports on its Florida Division of Corporations record; we do not reproduce individual names here. The board carried the course project to the members: after architect interviews in 2023 and 2024 and town halls in December 2024, members approved the capital project by vote in March 2025 (strategic planning page).
A $26 million rebuild of all 36 holes by architect Ron Forse, the largest course project in the club’s history. The club’s timeline shows The Creek and the practice facility closed April 1, 2026, with reopening scheduled December 1, 2026; The Quail closes April 1, 2027 and reopens December 1, 2027. The club’s release via The Golf Wire says every green is being rebuilt in TifEagle, with Clarke Construction Group as builder and Nutt on irrigation. The stated aim is to “enhance playability, modernize infrastructure, and preserve the Arthur Hills character.” A hole-by-hole Creek plan is in the club’s renovation flipbook.
The club has not published how. Members approved the capital project by vote in March 2025, per the club’s strategic planning page, and the $26 million figure comes from the club’s December 2025 release via The Golf Wire. Neither states an assessment, a dues increase or borrowing, so we do not assume one. The funding terms would appear in the March 2025 ballot materials and the club’s financial statements, which are member documents. If you are joining now, ask the Membership Office in writing whether new members carry any share of the project cost.
Arthur Hills designed both 18-hole courses, The Creek and The Quail (club golf page). The Creek opened December 7, 1981, and The Quail November 27, 1982 (founding history). The Creek is the championship course, with water on 14 of 18 holes; The Quail is shorter and “player-friendly,” with “high risk, high reward” holes (club homepage). A 2013 to 2015 renovation was led by superintendent Kevin Leo, with Hills on site to approve the changes (2015 club release), and Ron Forse is rebuilding both courses in 2026 and 2027.
Both courses play to par 72. Per the Florida State Golf Association, The Creek from the Black tees is 6,836 yards, rated 73.1 with a 134 slope, and from the Gold tees 4,607 yards, 63.1/105 for men and 67.3/116 for women. The Quail from the Black tees is 6,481 yards, 71.7/139, and from the Gold tees 4,171 yards, 62.3/106 for men and 65.5/111 for women. The Membership Guide 2025 prints the same back-tee pairs. These are pre-renovation figures and will change after the rebuilds. Club course pages: The Creek and The Quail.
Two 18-hole courses, 36 holes, sit inside one square-mile survey section, with the 291 homesites set between them on ten named streets. Every homesite backs onto club-owned golf land, whether fairway, lake or native buffer, on the county’s Growth Management parcel layer. The courses and club land are zoned GC for golf course (Collier zoning layer), and the club calls the courses walkable (golf overview). Pond Apple Drive runs a four-sided loop around the perimeter, and Valewood Drive runs up the middle to the clubhouse. The club’s flipbook maps the rebuilt Creek hole by hole.
Yes. The club lists “five putting greens, a chipping bunker, and a dedicated short game range” (golf page) plus a driving range (golf overview). The practice facility closed with The Creek on April 1, 2026 for a redesign and is scheduled to reopen December 1, 2026 (strategic planning page). Social/Sports members pay $250 a year for practice access (brochure). Buyers looking at homes near the range should read about the 2024 ball-containment poles and the county code debate that followed, covered in the netting question below.
The USGA chose Quail Creek twice, but neither event was played there. The 2017 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur, set for October 7 to 12, 2017, was relocated after Hurricane Irma caused “extensive flooding and damage” to the course and clubhouse (USGA release). The 2020 U.S. Women’s Four-Ball, awarded for April 25 to 29, 2020 (USGA release), was canceled because of COVID-19 (USGA championships update). No professional tour event is on record at the club, and we do not repeat unverified claims of state championships.
Yes: nine lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, including an exhibition court, per the club’s lifestyle page and 2025 court-sports page, with tennis led by a USPTA Master Professional (2025). The count has changed over time; a 2010 column in the Naples Daily News counted 13 Har-Tru courts, and the club has since added dedicated pickleball and padel courts. Courts sit alongside the $18.5 million Sports Center & Spa completed in 2019 (club history). Tennis is included in the Social/Sports membership (Social/Sports page).
Yes. Three glass-enclosed padel courts were added in 2026, and the club calls the complex “the first of its kind in Southwest Florida” (strategic planning page). Gulfshore Business reported construction in spring 2026, a summer 2026 completion target, design by McWard Architects and building by D. Garrett Construction, with leagues, clinics and youth instruction planned. The club says its padel staff are certified padel professionals. The exact opening date is not published; the lifestyle page now lists the three courts.
Yes. The club lists six dedicated LED-lit pickleball courts and three bocce courts with weekly leagues (lifestyle page; 2025 court-sports page), and its pickleball staff are IPTPA-certified. The club runs a year-round calendar of tennis, pickleball and bocce events and tournaments. Both sports come with the Social/Sports membership (Social/Sports page). For public play, Veterans Community Park in North Naples has 14 pickleball courts plus tennis, bocce and a dog park (Collier County Parks).
Yes: a 5,000-square-foot fitness center inside the Sports Center & Spa, with Technogym equipment, a Pilates studio, an indoor cycling studio, a springboard room, two group-class rooms and a TRX room, staffed by certified fitness professionals (lifestyle page). The club says its fitness program is Blue Zones certified (homepage). Hours on the club’s 2025 health and wellness page were 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, with physical therapy by licensed therapists on site. Members approved the $18.5 million Sports Center & Spa in 2018, and it was completed in 2019 (club history).
Yes. The Spa at Quail Creek offers massage, facial and body treatments inside the Sports Center & Spa, alongside the fitness center and physical therapy (lifestyle page; 2025 health and wellness page). “Fitness, Spa & Pool” is part of every membership category, including Social/Sports (Social/Sports page). Treatment menus and prices are not published online. The spa is a club amenity, so owning a home in Quail Creek Estates without joining does not include spa access, per the club’s realtor page.
Yes, there is a club pool, included in every membership as part of “Fitness, Spa & Pool” (Social/Sports page). The club does not publish the pool’s size, heating or hours, so we do not state them; the member handbook and the pool’s state operating permit would hold those details. The homes have no separate community pool: the pool, courts and clubhouse belong to the club, not to the Quail Creek Property Owners Association, whose powers cover roads, gatehouse areas, drainage and common areas (1998 POA articles).
Menus and prices are not published on the public site. The club describes “locally-sourced, seasonal menus … with wine pairings” (lifestyle page). Venues include the Greenside Grille for lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch; the Wine Room for wine events and private dining; the outdoor Creekside Bar; and the Cypress, Oak and Quail Rooms for dining and events (homepage; 2025 culinary page). A 2010 Naples Daily News column named the Friday seafood buffet and the Sunday brunch as club traditions. The club reported $2.1 million in food and beverage sales in fiscal 2024 (ProPublica).
The member dress code is not published online; it sits in the member handbook. The club’s December 2024 realtor page carried dress guidance for agents visiting the club, alongside the rule that every visit is scheduled in advance and confirmed by the Membership office. If you are touring, confirm attire when Membership confirms your appointment (directions page). Keep in mind that access to the Estates for a home showing does not include the clubhouse, so a buyer seeing a house does not walk into the club without that separate appointment (realtor page).
The club hosts galas, weddings and corporate events and runs a year-round calendar of tennis, pickleball and bocce events, plus golf league play and tournaments (lifestyle page; golf page). Its Salute to Veterans Golf and Dinner, in its sixth annual edition, raised $185,000 for Home Base Florida (eBella Magazine). The first Taste of Quail Creek, in January 2019, combined chef stations, food trucks, a car show and a live band (Gulfshore Business). In 2020 residents raised $9,000 to release about 200 bobwhite quail on the grounds (Naples Daily News).
The club says it hosts weddings, galas and corporate events (lifestyle page), and its event rooms include the Cypress Room, the Oak Room and the Quail Room (2025 culinary page). Whether non-members can book, and the pricing, capacity and packages, are not published. Big celebrations are part of the club’s story: the clubhouse’s Grand Opening Ball in January 1984 ran over two nights for more than 700 guests (founding history). Contact the club office through its homepage for current event terms.
General club hours are not published. The published schedules are club tours, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from May to September and Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from October to April (directions page), and fitness center hours of 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily on the club’s 2025 health and wellness page. Dining hours are not published. Phone numbers for the pro shop and club office are listed on the club’s Florida State Golf Association record. The Creek is closed for reconstruction and is scheduled to reopen December 1, 2026 (strategic planning page).
We do not quote star ratings. What the record shows: BoardRoom magazine lists Quail Creek as a “Distinguished Club” with EXCEPTIONAL status (a BoardRoom magazine club profile), and the club displays that badge on its About page. The club describes its courses as Audubon certified, its pro shop, the Quail Shoppe, as “a Top 100 AGM Platinum Award recipient” (golf page), and its fitness program as Blue Zones certified (homepage). The years of these recognitions are not published. The most useful review is a tour, which the Membership office schedules (directions page).
The clubhouse at 13300 Valewood Drive broke ground December 17, 1982 and opened with a two-night Grand Opening Ball in January 1984 (founding history). It has been renovated repeatedly: an early-2000s renovation added the Greenside Grille (club history), the 2013 to 2015 project expanded the Greenside Grille (2015 release), and a “complete interior refresh” was reported for the 2025 to 2026 season (The Golf Wire). A clubhouse master plan, focused first on mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades, is under way (strategic planning page). Photos are on the club’s homepage.
Many retirees choose it, and the record supports the fit without making it an age-restricted community. The club says members range from 29 to 99, averaging about 60, and include “retired individuals and young families” (membership page). In the census tract that contains Quail Creek, the median age is 67.8 (Census Reporter, ACS 2020 to 2024). NCH North Hospital (NCH directory) is about 12 minutes from the gate off-peak (OSRM routing). Three in four Quail Creek homes carry a Florida homestead exemption (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), which points to owners who make Quail Creek their primary residence.
Families are welcome; Quail Creek is not age-restricted. No 55-plus designation appears in any county, state or club record we reviewed, and the club’s membership page cites members aged 29 to 99 and “young families.” Zoned public schools are Veterans Memorial Elementary, North Naples Middle and Aubrey Rogers High, all graded A in 2026 (CCPS 2026 Accountability Brief). The club also offers a Young Professional Golf category (About page). The homes are 100% detached single-family, on a median lot of 0.77 acre (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
Most homes are primary residences on the county record: 213 of 287 homes, 74.2%, carry a Florida homestead exemption, and 89.5% of owners use a Florida mailing address. The leading out-of-state owner addresses are Ontario (5), Wisconsin (5) and Illinois (3) (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). The surrounding census tract is more seasonal, with 33.7% of housing units held for seasonal use (Census Reporter, ACS 2020 to 2024). The club runs year-round, with reduced off-season tour hours from May to September (directions page).
Yes, one: the Quail Creek Property Owners Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit filed June 29, 1981 (Florida Division of Corporations). Membership is mandatory; every record owner of a residential lot is a member, and membership runs with the lot (1998 Amended and Restated Articles). There are no sub-associations and no condominium associations inside the gate. The POA keeps an on-site office at 4886 Pond Apple Drive South (DBPR license record). It is a separate corporation from Quail Creek Country Club, whose membership is optional.
The Quail Creek Property Owners Association does not publish its assessment, and we do not estimate it. The amount, its billing period and what it covers are in the POA’s adopted annual budget and on an estoppel certificate, which an owner can request under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes. Ask for both before you write an offer, and make your contract’s document review cover them. There is no CDD and no non-ad valorem charge on the tax bill (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), and club initiation and dues are separate and optional (club realtor page).
Quail Creek Estates is the club’s and the POA’s name for the residential side of Quail Creek: 291 single-family homesites, 287 of them built on the 2026 roll, on ten named streets inside the gate (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). The land is recorded as Quail Creek Unit One through Unit Four, Quail Creek Block Z and a small replat, not as “Estates.” No corporation named Quail Creek Estates exists (Florida corporate name search); the “Quail Creek Estates HOA” people search for is the Quail Creek Property Owners Association, Inc. (POA record).
Its 1998 Amended and Restated Articles (Sunbiz PDF) give the POA power over roads, gatehouse areas and common areas in Section 17; the water management system, drainage easements and street lights; and “architectural control regulation of all single family residences.” It levies and liens assessments, and it may make agreements with the club on water, sewer, storm drainage, roads and gatehouse areas. A 2010 Naples Daily News column described a staff of 19 maintaining common grounds, roads, lighting and the entrance gate. The governing documents are listed by title on the POA’s archived website.
Yes. The Quail Creek Property Owners Association and Quail Creek Country Club, Inc. are separate Florida corporations (POA record; club record), and they bill separately. POA assessments are mandatory for every lot owner; club initiation and dues apply only if you join (realtor page). Never add them together into one “HOA fee” when you budget. The POA’s articles allow it to enter agreements with the club about shared infrastructure such as roads, drainage and the gatehouse, but the terms of any such agreement are not public.
None is published, and the county tax roll carries no special assessment: every one of the 287 homes shows $0.00 in non-ad valorem assessments (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). A POA special assessment would be billed by the association, not on the tax bill, so the roll cannot rule one out. The documents that answer the question are the POA’s estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes, its adopted budget and its recent board minutes. Request all three during your inspection period and read them before your deposit goes hard.
Yes. Quail Creek has one gated entrance, on Valewood Drive, and the POA has described “the private, strictly controlled entrance” where “the gatehouse staff provides 24-hour monitoring for access to the community plus a mobile patrol” (POA website, 2019 capture). That description is dated 2019; current staffing is not published and would be in the POA’s budget and access-control policy. The county road network shows no Quail Creek entrance from Logan Boulevard on the east side (Collier road centerlines). The clubhouse, courses and courts sit inside the same gate.
The POA’s own description, from its 2019 website, is a gatehouse with 24-hour monitoring plus a mobile patrol. A 2010 Naples Daily News column also mentioned a roving patrol and perimeter fencing. No 2026 statement of staffing, cameras or gate technology is published, so ask the POA for its current access-control policy and the security line in its budget. Visitors to the club are handled by appointment through the Membership office (directions page), and real estate showings in the Estates do not include club access (realtor page).
No. Florida Commerce’s official list of special districts includes 58 Collier-only districts and none for Quail Creek (report of September 23, 2026), the county’s community development district layer returns nothing inside the community, and the 2026 roll shows $0.00 in non-ad valorem assessments on all 287 homes (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). That separates Quail Creek from North Naples communities such as Pelican Marsh and Talis Park, whose CDDs appear in the state’s special district profiles.
Not published. Pet rules beyond county law, if any, live in the recorded Declaration of Protective Covenants and the POA’s rules, neither of which is online. The POA’s archived website lists the governing documents by title: the Amended and Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants for Quail Creek, the Articles, the 2015 Bylaws, the Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration and the Architectural Planning Criteria dated September 22, 2021. Ask for the full set and the current rules during your inspection period. We do not repeat “pet-friendly” labels from listing sites, because they are not a source.
Leasing rules are not published online. Any minimum lease term, limit on leases per year or approval step would be in the recorded Declaration and the POA’s rules, listed by title on the POA’s archived website. Request them before you buy with a rental plan. Two related facts are public: club membership is separate from the home (realtor page), so a tenant’s club use depends on the club’s own rules, which are not published; and the county roll shows 74 of 287 homes, about one in four, without a homestead exemption (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
The answer sits in documents that are not public: the recorded Declaration and the POA’s rules. No club or POA page we reviewed states a short-term or seasonal rental policy. If rental income matters to your purchase, make the offer contingent on reviewing the Declaration, its amendments and the rules, and ask the POA in writing. What the county record does show is that 74.2% of homes carry a homestead exemption, so most are primary residences rather than rentals (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). The surrounding census tract has 33.7% seasonal units (ACS).
Any exterior change needs approval: “Any exterior modifications to homes, including paint colors, landscaping changes, and structural additions, must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee” (POA page). The POA’s 1998 articles give it “architectural control regulation of all single family residences,” and its Architectural Planning Criteria are dated September 22, 2021 (POA archived website); the text is not online. County permits apply too, and the homes are zoned RSF-2 (Collier zoning). Rebuilds happen: 11 homes date from 2010 or later, three from 2025 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
In North Naples, Florida 34119, in unincorporated Collier County. From Immokalee Road, turn north on Valewood Drive about half a mile east of I-75 Exit 111, then drive about a mile north, past Quail Creek Village, to the gate (club directions). The community fills one survey section, Section 17, Township 48 South, Range 26 East (BLM survey sections), with Quail West to the north, Logan Boulevard to the east and Quail Creek Village and Longshore Lake to the south. It sits in census tract 112.13 (Census geocoder), outside any city limits.
The club’s address is 13300 Valewood Drive, Naples, FL 34119 (Florida Division of Corporations; club directions). Homes inside the gate carry Valewood Drive numbers from 12823 to 13189, and nine other street names: Pond Apple Drive (North, South, East and West legs), White Violet Drive, Silver Fox Drive, Bald Cypress Lane, Coco Plum Lane, Oak Leaf Drive, Rosewood Lane, Snowberry Lane and Butterfly Orchid Lane (county address points). There is no “Quail Creek Drive.” Lower Valewood Drive numbers belong to Quail Creek Village.
Public maps exist in pieces. The county’s address point layer and parcel layer show all 291 homesites, and its zoning layer shows the RSF-2 home areas and the GC golf land. FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer shows flood zones by lot. The club’s flipbook shows the rebuilt Creek hole by hole, and its directions page gives the route in. Pond Apple Drive forms the perimeter loop, with Valewood Drive as the spine to the clubhouse. Recorded plat maps sit in the Collier Clerk’s official records.
The club was incorporated June 27, 1980 (Florida Division of Corporations); The Creek opened December 7, 1981, The Quail November 27, 1982, and the clubhouse in January 1984 (founding history). The POA was filed June 29, 1981 (POA record). Homes followed through the 1980s and 1990s: the median home was built in 1989, with 163 homes from the 1980s, 92 from the 1990s, 21 from the 2000s, five from the 2010s and six since 2020 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). The vision dates to 1973, under the working name “Corkscrew Creek Country Club.”
Bob Hardy was one of the club’s three first officers (founding history), and news accounts and his obituary credit him as the developer of the club and Quail Creek Estates (the 2011 Naples Daily News club history (archived print edition); obituary). An oral history describes him as an Ontario road builder backed by Canadian investors and says “the first one was Quail Creek up on Immokalee Road” (Jewish Historical Society of Southwest Florida). His obituary also credits him with Quail Creek Village, Longshore Lake and Quail West. Land planner Bill Vines laid out the plan, and Arthur Hills designed the golf.
No. They share ZIP code 34119 and Valewood Drive, but they are different communities. Quail Creek Country Club has 291 single-family homesites on ten streets, zoned RSF-2 and GC, governed by the Quail Creek Property Owners Association, with the member-owned club at 13300 Valewood Drive. Quail Creek Village, directly south, is its own planned unit development, “QUAIL II,” about 200.6 acres (Collier PUD layer), mostly condominium villas plus Palazzo single-family homes, with the Quail Creek Village Foundation (Sunbiz) and the 18-hole Quail Village Golf Club at 11719 Quail Village Way (club history).
Check four things. The street: Quail Creek Country Club homes are on Pond Apple, White Violet, Silver Fox, Bald Cypress, Coco Plum, Oak Leaf, Rosewood, Snowberry and Butterfly Orchid, plus upper Valewood (12820 and up); Quail Creek Village uses Quail Village Way, Quail Crown Drive, Heather Lane, Florence Circle, Palazzo Drive, Venice Court, Executive Drive and lower Valewood. The plat: “Quail Creek, Unit One” through “Unit Four” or “Block Z,” against “Quail Creek Village.” The housing: 100% single-family, against mostly condominiums. The association: the Property Owners Association, against the Quail Creek Village Foundation (county address points).
It is not inside Quail Creek Country Club. The Meadows at Quail Creek Village is a condominium of about 60 units on Heather Lane in Quail Creek Village, the separate community to the south, on the county’s Growth Management parcel layer. The Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, records it as its own condominium, outside the Quail Creek plats. Quail Creek Country Club has no condominiums, villas or multi-family buildings at all, and the county’s milestone inspection map shows no records inside the gate. If a listing says “The Meadows,” you are looking at Quail Creek Village.
Quail West is the gated club community directly north, in Section 8, with 36 holes called The Lakes and The Preserve, “originally designed by Arthur Hills in 1992” and later renovated by Drew Rogers (Quail West golf), and membership reserved for residents, with House membership the minimum (Quail West membership). It is an 862-acre planned unit development (Collier PUD layer). Quail Creek’s courses are The Creek and The Quail, and its membership is optional. Quail Run does not appear in any Quail Creek record, and Quail Walk is a separate 91-home subdivision to the south. See our Quail West guide.
About 19 minutes off-peak from the gate to Vanderbilt Beach, 8.3 miles (OSRM routing). From the clubhouse, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is 7.4 miles, about 18 minutes, and Barefoot Beach Preserve 14.2 miles, about 33 minutes. Delnor-Wiggins is open 8 a.m. to sunset at $6 per vehicle, with a boat ramp and kayak launch (Florida State Parks). In the 2025 to 2026 season the county’s free Paradise Beach Trolley ran from Conner Park to Delnor-Wiggins and Vanderbilt Beach (Collier County). Quail Creek has no marina or beach club, and in-season traffic runs longer.
About 35 minutes off-peak from the gate, 24.5 miles, via I-75 (OSRM routing). Southwest Florida International (RSW) serves more than 75 nonstop destinations on 15 carriers and handled more than 11.1 million passengers in 2025 (RSW). Naples Airport (APF), about 21 minutes from the gate, is general aviation only, with U.S. Customs (Naples Airport). The gate is about six minutes from I-75 Exit 111, which FDOT plans to rebuild as a diverging diamond interchange (FDOT project 454099-1). In-season drive times run longer than these free-flow figures.
NCH North Hospital, 11190 Health Park Blvd, is 4.7 miles, about 12 minutes off-peak from the gate, with an emergency department, pediatric and obstetric emergency care and HSS at NCH Orthopedic Hospital on campus (NCH directory). Physicians Regional Medical Center North, 1285 Creekside Blvd, is also about 12 minutes (Physicians Regional). The nearest state-approved Level II trauma center is Gulf Coast Medical Center in Fort Myers, about 35 minutes (Lee Health). Drive times are free-flow estimates (OSRM) and run longer in season.
Off-peak from the gate: Mercato about 17 minutes (7.5 miles), Waterside Shops about 20 minutes (9.6 miles), downtown Naples and Fifth Avenue South about 25 minutes (14.5 miles), and Coconut Point in Estero about 25 minutes (OSRM routing). The nearest Publix, at Pelican Strand, is about 9 minutes from the clubhouse (Publix). Artis-Naples, home of the Naples Philharmonic and The Baker Museum, is about 21 minutes from the clubhouse. In season, Immokalee Road and US 41 traffic adds time to every one of these trips.
Quail Creek fronts neither road: its south line is about a mile north of Immokalee Road, up Valewood Drive, and Pelican Strand lies between the community and I-75. Change is coming around it. FDOT lists construction of an Exit 111 diverging diamond starting in early 2027 (FDOT 454099-1), within an I-75 corridor project whose first work begins in fall 2026 (FDOT 452544-1; WGCU). A Livingston Road flyover over Immokalee Road is in design (Gulfshore Business), and planners project 164% more traffic on Immokalee Road by 2045 (Gulfshore Business).
For 2026-27, every Quail Creek address tested is zoned for Veterans Memorial Elementary (15960 Veterans Memorial Blvd), North Naples Middle (16165 Learning Ln) and Aubrey Rogers High (15100 Patriot Pl), per the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup. All three earned an A in 2026 (CCPS 2026 Accountability Brief), and the district has been rated A for nine straight years. Drives from the gate run 13 to 15 minutes off-peak. Enrollment in 2024-25 was 721, 909 and 1,496 (NCES). Zones can change, so check each address with the district.
From the Quail Creek gate, off-peak: Montessori Academy of Naples (PK to 11, 3.6 miles), Royal Palm Academy (PK to 8, 4.1 miles), First Baptist Academy (PK to 12, 5.6 miles), Community School of Naples (PK to 12, 1,012 students, 6.7 miles), The Village School of Naples (PK to 12, 8.7 miles), St. John Neumann Catholic High (9 to 12, 10.5 miles), St. Elizabeth Seton School (PK to 8, 10.6 miles) and Seacrest Country Day School (PK to 12, 12.9 miles), per the NCES private school survey for 2023-24. Contact each school for admissions and tuition.
Every home in Quail Creek Country Club is a detached single-family house, on a median lot of 0.77 acre; there are no condos or villas. Active listings change daily; on September 26, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix showed 4 Quail Creek homes for sale, listed from $1,700,000 to $9,995,000. In the twelve months to August 28, 2026, 20 qualified home sales were recorded, from $1,700,000 to $5,045,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). For current listings, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 or read how we represent buyers in Naples.
On the county record, the median qualified sale over the twelve months ending August 28, 2026 was $2,836,000, across 20 sales (an even count, so the median is the mean of the middle pair, $2,822,000 and $2,850,000), with a range of $1,700,000 to $5,045,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). The calendar-year median rose from $1,475,000 in 2021 (27 sales) to $2,637,500 in 2025 (23 sales). The top recorded sale is $5,620,000, on Silver Fox Drive in March 2022. For the wider market, see our Naples guide.
Yes, a for-sale-by-owner purchase is legal, and the same documents apply. You still need the POA’s estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes, the governing documents and any architectural approvals, a flood determination for the lot (Quail Creek mixes zones X and AH on FEMA’s map), and a separate decision about the club, which a house does not include (realtor page). An agent working for you checks the recorded sales, the flood letter and the fee stack. For help with any Quail Creek home, call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
291 single-family homesites, 287 of which carry a home on the 2026 county roll, on about 640 acres, one full survey section (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary; county address points). Recorded parcels total 638.06 acres. The club owns about 320 acres, roughly half the land. The homesites are recorded as Quail Creek Unit One (69), Unit Two (92), Unit Three (46), Unit Four (66), Block Z (16) and a two-lot replat. That works out to about 0.9 homes per gross residential acre, against the two-per-acre cap of RSF-2 zoning (Collier zoning).
The median lot is 0.77 acre, and lots range from 0.59 to 1.46 acres (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). By street, on the county’s Growth Management parcel layer, Rosewood Lane, platted separately as Quail Creek Block Z, has the largest lots at a median of about 1.03 acres; Butterfly Orchid Lane is about 0.88; Snowberry Lane 0.83; Valewood Drive 0.82; Silver Fox Drive 0.81; and the four Pond Apple Drive legs 0.75 to 0.78. Most homesites are about three-quarters of an acre, and every one backs onto club-owned golf land, whether fairway, lake or native buffer.
The median home was built in 1989. By decade: 163 homes from the 1980s, 92 from the 1990s, 21 from the 2000s, five from the 2010s and six since 2020 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). That means 255 of 287 homes predate 2000, and with it the 2002 Florida Building Code, which matters for insurance, roofs and windows. Eleven homes were built in 2010 or later, three of them completed in 2025. County building footprints suggest roughly 20 major rebuilds or additions since 2000 (county building footprints).
Yes, and the record shows buyers paying for the land. Seven qualified vacant-lot sales since 2020 ranged from $1,195,000 to $1,525,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). One Valewood Drive lot sold vacant for $1,338,800 in 2023 and $1,400,000 in 2024, then as a 2025-built home for $5,045,000 in December 2025, the top sale of the last twelve months. A handful of lots were coded vacant on the 2026 roll, and county building footprints show new homes rising on at least two. Any rebuild needs architectural approval (POA page) and county permits.
No. Every home in Quail Creek Country Club is a detached single-family house: county address points show no condominium, villa or multi-family use (county address points), and the county’s milestone inspection map shows no Quail Creek buildings, so Florida’s condominium milestone and structural reserve rules do not apply here. Condominiums with “Quail Creek” in the name, such as The Meadows at Quail Creek Village, are in Quail Creek Village to the south. A 2010 Naples Daily News column put it plainly: “no condominiums, villas or other multi-unit structures in the Estates.”
On the county record, the median over the twelve months ending August 28, 2026 was $662.70 per square foot of county base area, across 20 sales (the mean of the middle pair, $641.40 and $684.01) (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). County base area is the roll’s own measure, not the MLS living area on a listing sheet, so do not compare the two. By calendar year the figure moved from $374.29 in 2021 to $678.29 in 2025. On MLS living area, the 22 MLS-marketed closings between September 26, 2025 and August 3, 2026 had a median of $552.51 per square foot (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix).
The county roll does not code views, so we cannot publish a view premium from recorded sales. What the parcel record shows is that every homesite backs onto club-owned golf land, whether fairway, lake or native buffer (county parcel layer), so there are no interior lots without a golf-land edge. Price differences in the record track age, size and condition as much as outlook: the twelve-month range runs from $1,700,000 for a 1982 Valewood Drive home to $5,045,000 for a 2025 build on the same street (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). We match view on site, lot by lot.
The median main residence measures 4,075 square feet of county base area and 5,085 square feet of county adjusted area (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Both are the county’s own measures, not the MLS living area printed on a listing sheet, so read them as a guide to scale rather than a match for any listing. The homes sit on a median lot of 0.77 acre, and the biggest lots, on Rosewood Lane, run about an acre (county parcel layer). On the Southwest Florida MLS, the 22 homes that closed between September 26, 2025 and August 3, 2026 had living areas from 3,000 to 7,396 square feet (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix).
It is mixed. On FEMA panel 12021C0211H, effective May 16, 2012, Quail Creek lots fall in zone X and zone AH, “shallow flooding (usually areas of ponding)” averaging 1 to 3 feet (FEMA NFHL; Collier floodplain FAQ). The 2024 countywide revision did not change this panel. Sample points split: Valewood Drive south, Bald Cypress Lane, Oak Leaf Drive and Pond Apple Drive North mapped AH; Coco Plum Lane and mid Valewood Drive mapped X. FEMA records 16 LOMA cases since 2012; the 15 for single homes removed the structure from the floodplain. Every address needs its own determination.
There is no single Naples flood zone; zones are set lot by lot on FEMA’s Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FEMA NFHL). Around Quail Creek, in unincorporated Collier County, the panel mixes zone X and zone AH, shallow ponding of 1 to 3 feet (Collier floodplain FAQ). The coast is where surge struck: Hurricane Ian pushed water 6.18 feet above mean higher high water at the Naples Pier (NWS Ian summary). Unincorporated Collier is Class 5 in FEMA’s Community Rating System, a 25% discount on eligible NFIP policies (FEMA CRS list). A new map, now preliminary and in appeal, targets a summer 2027 effective date (Collier County).
Look it up on FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, which shows the effective zone and any Letter of Map Amendment for the lot; the new preliminary map is on a separate FEMA preliminary layer. Collier County may hold the elevation certificate for homes built after September 14, 1979 in an A or V zone (Collier floodplain FAQ). For Quail Creek, also check FEMA’s revalidated LOMC list, which names Quail Creek lots. Then ask the seller for any LOMA letter or elevation certificate; your lender will order its own flood determination as well.
FEMA’s special flood hazard areas, the A-series zones, are where flood insurance becomes mandatory for mortgaged homes, and surge-exposed coastal areas carry the most risk; Naples saw that in Ian, when surge reached 6.18 feet at the Naples Pier (NWS Ian summary). Quail Creek sits about 6 miles inland on ground of 12.0 to 16.6 feet NAVD88 (USGS elevations). Its lots split between zone X and zone AH, shallow ponding of 1 to 3 feet (Collier floodplain FAQ); on our reading, the AE polygons on the map most likely follow the lakes (FEMA NFHL). Check each lot.
Lenders require flood insurance in special flood hazard areas, which at Quail Creek means zone AH: the county says “mandatory flood insurance applies” there (Collier floodplain FAQ). In zone X “Mandatory flood insurance is not required,” but the county notes that “over 25 % of flood insurance claims nationwide come from structures in X and X500 flood zones.” Florida adds a rule for Citizens customers: a flood policy for non-SFHA homes with dwelling coverage of $400,000 or more from January 1, 2026, and for every Citizens policy from January 1, 2027 (Citizens). At Quail Creek values, many Citizens-insured homes likely carry dwelling coverage above $400,000 already; that is our inference from price, not a count of policies.
No public record shows Quail Creek homes flooding in either storm. Irma, in September 2017, caused “extensive flooding and damage” to the club’s course and clubhouse (USGA); about 4,000 trees came down, every bunker was rebuilt, and both courses were fully open again November 28, 2017 (GCM). Irma’s surge was coastal, and Quail Creek’s ground sits at 12.0 to 16.6 feet NAVD88 (USGS elevations). In Ian, in 2022, surge hit the coast and the Cocohatchee River area (WGCU); the nearest high-water mark was 4.75 miles west (USGS). Ask each seller for claims history.
Some may be, and only an elevation certificate answers it for a given house. Base flood elevation lines around Quail Creek run 11.0 to 14.0 feet NAVD88 on the effective map and 13.0 to 13.5 feet on the preliminary map (FEMA NFHL; preliminary NFHL), while ground sampled across the community runs 12.0 to 16.6 feet (USGS elevations). FEMA has removed the structure from the floodplain for 15 single homes by LOMA since 2012. Collier County may hold an elevation certificate for homes built after September 14, 1979 in an A zone (Collier floodplain FAQ).
Zone E, on Collier County’s scale of A to F (Collier evacuation zones; state layer). Quail Creek sits about 6 miles inland, on ground of 12.0 to 16.6 feet NAVD88 (USGS elevations). In Irma, surge reached 3 to 4 feet at Naples and stayed within about half a mile of the coast (NWS Irma), so damage at Quail Creek was wind and rain on the course, not surge. In Milton, in 2024, about 85% of Collier customers lost power (NWS Milton). County generator permit rules are published (Collier generator requirements); POA rules on generators are not.
No Quail Creek premium is published, and quotes turn on roof age, construction year, wind mitigation and flood zone. The Collier benchmarks, which are countywide averages rather than luxury-home quotes: Citizens’ 2026 recommended rate kit shows 1,712 Collier HO-3 policies averaging $4,531, moving to $4,391, and 508 wind-only policies averaging $5,508, moving to $5,737 (Citizens 2026 Rate Kit). In ZIP 34119 the median NFIP flood premium was $955 in zone X and $888.50 in zone AH (OpenFEMA). Florida requires wind-mitigation discounts (section 627.0629).
The median 2026 tax bill is $11,722.88: $9,544.85 for the 213 homesteaded homes and $15,216.33 for the 74 non-homesteaded homes, at a total millage of 9.4020 (county 3.9293, school 4.1470, other 1.3257) (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). There are no non-ad valorem charges. Non-homestead tax runs about 0.94% of just value, and just value (median $1,720,839) lags sale prices, so a buyer’s first bill can exceed the seller’s. County millage is in the FY2026 adopted budget; bills are paid through the Collier County Tax Collector.
No public record ranks Naples clubs by total cost, and most clubs do not publish dues, so any “most expensive” list is guesswork. What we can state for Quail Creek Country Club: the last published Class A Golf initiation was $150,000 in 2025 (Membership Guide 2025), Social/Sports is $40,000 plus tax (live page), and dues are unpublished. A homeowner who does not join pays neither (realtor page). For the wider picture of North Naples clubs, see our Naples guide, and compare any two clubs only from their own current documents.
Exclusivity has no public measure, so we answer with facts rather than a ranking. Quail Creek Country Club is private and member-owned, admits visitors only by appointment (directions page), and has at times had more golfers than openings: Class A was full with a paid waitlist from early 2022 into March 2025, and the Golf Waitlist is listed as not currently available (membership page). In 1989 the club counted 580 golf members, 350 social members and 118 golfers waiting (club history). Current membership caps are not published.
“Best” depends on what you want, and no neutral public ranking settles it. For Quail Creek Country Club, the checkable facts are 36 Arthur Hills holes, The Creek at 6,836 yards (73.1/134) and The Quail at 6,481 yards (71.7/139) per the Florida State Golf Association, both being rebuilt by Ron Forse through December 2027 (strategic planning page); two USGA championship awards, neither played there (Irma moved the 2017 Women’s Mid-Amateur and COVID-19 canceled the 2020 Women’s Four-Ball) (USGA); BoardRoom “Distinguished Club” status (BoardRoom magazine); and optional membership. Tour several clubs and read each one’s documents; our Naples guide covers the field.
We do not publish a top-three list, because no public dataset ranks them and a fair ranking depends on whether you want bundled golf, the lowest fees or the largest lots. Quail Creek Country Club’s case rests on 36 holes, optional membership, 0.77-acre median lots and no CDD (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Neighbors that buyers weigh against it include Quail West, Pelican Marsh, Grey Oaks, Talis Park and Olde Cypress, each with its own guide on our site. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to tour them side by side.
No public record ranks Naples communities by wealth, and household income is not in the county’s property data. Property values are public, so here is Quail Creek Country Club’s: the 287 single-family homes carry an aggregate 2026 preliminary just value of $539,754,112, a median of $1,720,839 per home, and the median recorded sale over the last twelve months was $2,836,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Just value lags sale prices, so the market value of the community is higher than the roll total. For other Naples communities, see our Naples guide.
They are neighbors with opposite membership models. Quail West, directly north, requires membership: its membership page reserves membership for residents, with House membership as the minimum. Quail Creek is non-bundled, and 70% of its members live outside the gates (realtor page). Both have 36 holes with Arthur Hills roots: Quail West’s The Lakes and The Preserve were “originally designed by Arthur Hills in 1992” and later renovated by Drew Rogers (Quail West golf), while Quail Creek’s courses date from 1981 and 1982. Quail West is an 862-acre PUD. See our Quail West guide.
The public record gives one hard difference: Pelican Marsh has a community development district on Florida’s official list (special district profiles), while Quail Creek has none and shows $0.00 in non-ad valorem assessments on every home (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). We do not quote Pelican Marsh fees, membership terms or prices here, because a fair comparison needs each club’s own current documents. Quail Creek’s side of the ledger: optional membership, 36 Arthur Hills holes being rebuilt, and a median lot of 0.77 acre. Our Pelican Marsh guide covers that community in depth.
We do not set Grey Oaks numbers beside Quail Creek’s here, because a fair comparison needs each club’s own current membership documents and a like-for-like sale record. What Quail Creek Country Club brings to the comparison is documented: membership optional and unbundled (realtor page), 36 holes by Arthur Hills under a $26 million rebuild (Golf Wire release) through December 2027 (strategic planning page), no CDD, and a twelve-month median recorded sale of $2,836,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Our Grey Oaks guide covers that community; call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to compare them in person.
A fair comparison needs The Vineyards’ own current club and association documents, so we do not quote its figures here. For Quail Creek Country Club the facts are public: 291 single-family homesites and no condominiums (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), optional club membership with 70% of members living outside the gates (realtor page), two Arthur Hills courses, and no CDD or non-ad valorem charge on any tax bill. Our Vineyards guide covers that community in depth, and we are glad to walk both with you.
We do not publish Olde Cypress fees or prices beside Quail Creek’s, because the comparison needs each community’s own current documents. Quail Creek Country Club’s side: a member-owned 36-hole club open to residents and non-residents alike (realtor page), a Class A initiation last published at $150,000 in 2025 (Membership Guide 2025), lots with a median of 0.77 acre, and a median 2026 tax bill of $11,722.88 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Our Olde Cypress guide covers that community; call Marc at (239) 287-5873 for a side-by-side tour.
One difference is on the state record: Talis Park has a community development district on Florida’s special district list, and Quail Creek has none, with $0.00 in non-ad valorem assessments on every home (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Beyond that, a fair comparison needs Talis Park’s own membership and association documents, so we do not quote its fees here. Quail Creek Country Club opened in December 1981, with homes built mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, on a median lot of 0.77 acre. Our Talis Park guide covers that community.
Quail Creek Village is a different product at a different scale. It is its own planned unit development, “QUAIL II,” about 200.6 acres (Collier PUD layer), mostly condominium villas plus 72 Palazzo single-family homes, governed by the Quail Creek Village Foundation, with the 18-hole Quail Village Golf Club, a Gordon Lewis course built in 1985 and “totally renovated in 2021,” whose memberships are open to residents and non-residents (Quail Village Golf Club). Quail Creek Country Club is 291 single-family homesites around 36 Arthur Hills holes. Gordy Lewis, who designed the Village course, was hired in 2019 for Quail Creek’s course master plan.
Value depends on how you use a club, and other clubs’ fees are not on the public record we rely on, so we do not rank it. What makes Quail Creek Country Club’s cost easy to model: a homeowner who does not join the club pays no club charges at all (realtor page); there is no CDD and no non-ad valorem charge on the tax bill (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary); and the initiation history is public and dated, from $25,000 in an August 2020 capture to $150,000 in the Membership Guide 2025. The unknowns are dues and the POA assessment; ask for both.
In April 2024 the club installed ball-containment structures with poles of about 70 feet near Hole 10 and the range, without permits; a Special Magistrate found violations on April 4, 2025, with $200-a-day fines from August 2025 (Naples Daily News). In 2026 the county’s advisory committee declined both competing private code amendments and asked for a county standard (DSAC packet). The Planning Commission advanced 35 feet by right with conditional use above (Citizen Portal), and the club dropped its taller by-right request (Naples Daily News). Final county action was pending as of September 2026.
No. Quail Creek Country Club has no marina, boat docks, beach club or beach shuttle; none appears on any club page or release. Boaters use public launches: Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, about 18 minutes from the clubhouse, has a boat ramp and a canoe and kayak launch into Water Turkey Bay on the Cocohatchee River estuary (Florida State Parks). The club’s water is on the golf courses: The Creek carries water on 14 of 18 holes (club homepage). Buyers who want a beach or boating club should weigh that before choosing Quail Creek.

Selling in Quail Creek Country Club means pricing from a county-recorded sale record with 20 qualified sales in the last twelve months, a median of $2,836,000, and marketing to a buyer pool that includes non-golfers, because club membership is optional. These answers draw on the county roll, club documents and Florida statutes.
The best listing agent for Quail Creek Country Club is the one who arrives having read the county sale record street by street, the club’s dated fee history and the POA’s governing documents. We are Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar: Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate. Ask every agent you interview how optional membership, the course rebuild and the AH flood zone affect your price. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
It depends on street, lot, age, size and condition, and the county record gives the frame. Over the twelve months ending August 28, 2026, 20 qualified sales ran from $1,700,000 to $5,045,000, median $2,836,000, and $662.70 per square foot of county base area (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Pond Apple Drive East sold at $2,925,000, $3,500,000 and $3,870,000; Silver Fox Drive at $1,725,000, $2,775,000 and $2,875,000. For a figure on your own home, request a free Quail Creek home valuation, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
The main costs are the brokerage commission, which is negotiable; Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed; title and settlement charges; and the POA’s estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes, plus any POA transfer charge, whose amount is not published. There is no club transfer cost to you, because membership is separate from the home (club realtor page), and no CDD payoff, because Quail Creek has no CDD (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Your title company’s settlement statement sets the final numbers; we prepare a net sheet from them before you list.
We market to two pools at once. Golfers first: 70% of club members live outside the gates (club realtor page), and Class A openings go to Golf Waitlist members alternating between non-owners and Estates owners, queue priority rather than a guarantee and a selling point for a golfing buyer. Then non-golfers, who can buy without a club initiation at all. Because every visitor passes the gate and showings do not include the club, photography, video and floor plans carry the first impression, and we arrange club tours through the Membership office (directions page). Owner mailing addresses in Ontario, Wisconsin and Illinois (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary) shape where out-of-area marketing runs.
Yes. A private or pre-market sale is possible, and some owners prefer discretion. The trade-off is exposure: Quail Creek has 287 homes and recorded 20 qualified sales in the last twelve months, a turnover of 7.0% (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), so the buyers already watching the gate are a small pool, and a quiet sale reaches fewer of them. The POA estoppel, the flood determination and your own club resignation apply either way. We will lay out both paths with the price evidence for each; start with a confidential Quail Creek valuation.
We do not promise a days-on-market figure for your house, but the community figure is measured: the 22 homes marketed through the Southwest Florida MLS that closed between September 26, 2025 and August 3, 2026 took a median 96.5 days, and 7 of them sold in 30 days or fewer (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix). The county record gives the pace: 20 qualified sales across 287 homes in the last twelve months, about 7% a year, and 11 in 2026 through August 28 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Add time for the POA estoppel and any buyer inspections, and plan the listing date around the seasonal calendar. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to set a plan.
On the county record, prices have held at a high plateau. Calendar-year medians ran $2,800,000 in 2023 (15 sales), $2,425,000 in 2024 (14 sales, the mean of the middle pair), $2,637,500 in 2025 (23 sales) and $2,850,000 in 2026 through August 28 (11 sales), against $1,475,000 in 2021 (27 sales) (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). In the last 12 months we counted 20 qualified sales recorded against Quail Creek Country Club homes, median $2,836,000. On the Southwest Florida MLS, 22 marketed homes closed between September 26, 2025 and August 3, 2026 at a median $2,292,000 and a median 92.10% of final list price, and 4 were active on September 26, 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix).
Yes, and at Quail Creek Country Club it is a separation, not a transfer. The club and Quail Creek Estates are “completely separate,” with “no bundled or minimum Membership requirement” (club realtor page), so your membership does not pass with the deed. Your own resignation and any refund follow your membership agreement; a return of 50% of the prevailing fee on resale was 2007 policy (2007 FAQ) and today’s terms are not public. For a golfing buyer, we explain the waitlist alternation that gives Estates owners alternating priority, not a guarantee, and put the club conversation on the table early, so it never becomes a late renegotiation.
On Quail Creek’s own county record, prices are not dropping. The calendar-year median sale was $2,425,000 in 2024, $2,637,500 in 2025 and $2,850,000 in 2026 through August 28, on 14, 23 and 11 sales, and the twelve-month median to August 28, 2026 was $2,836,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Samples this small move with a few sales, so read the direction rather than the decimals. We track Quail Creek’s own recorded sales rather than a Naples-wide headline, because the two often move differently. For your home’s figure, request a free valuation.
Quail Creek turns over slowly: 20 of 287 homes sold in the last twelve months, 7.0%, and 74.2% of homes carry a homestead exemption, so most owners live there full time (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). A Naples-wide inventory headline does not tell you how many Quail Creek homes compete with yours. On September 26, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix showed 4 Quail Creek homes for sale, about 2.2 months of supply. Beyond that count, the right comparison is your street and your era of home on the county record, which is exactly how we price.
We do not publish migration claims without a source. What the county record shows about Quail Creek’s owners is steady and mostly Floridian: 89.5% use a Florida mailing address, and the leading out-of-state owner addresses are Ontario (5), Wisconsin (5) and Illinois (3) (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). On the club side, members range from 29 to 99, averaging about 60, and include young families (membership page). Buyers keep arriving: 23 qualified sales in 2025 and 11 more in 2026 through August 28.
We do not publish forecasts; we publish what is scheduled. For Quail Creek, the known events are the Creek Course reopening December 1, 2026 and the Quail reopening December 1, 2027 after the $26 million rebuild (strategic planning page; cost per The Golf Wire); Citizens’ average 8.8% multiperil rate decrease effective July 1, 2026 (Citizens); 20 new insurers entering Florida since the reforms (Florida OIR); and a new flood map, now preliminary and in appeal, targeting a summer 2027 effective date (Collier County). The 2026 median through August 28 was $2,850,000 on 11 sales (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary).
Not on Quail Creek’s record. The calendar-year median sale moved from $1,475,000 in 2021 (27 sales) to $2,800,000 in 2023 (15), eased to $2,425,000 in 2024 (14), and rose to $2,637,500 in 2025 (23) and $2,850,000 in 2026 through August 28 (11) (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Five sales at $4,200,000 or more have recorded since March 2022, including $5,045,000 in December 2025 and $4,200,000 in February 2026. Small samples swing, and one year’s dip in 2024 recovered the next. For what your home would bring today, request a Quail Creek valuation.
At Quail Creek, closings cluster through fall and winter. Of the 20 qualified sales in the twelve months to August 28, 2026, nine recorded from late August to December 2025, six from January to March 2026 and five in May and June 2026 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Recording dates trail contract dates, so many of those deals were negotiated a month or two earlier. The club’s in-season calendar runs October to April, when tour hours expand (directions page), and a listing that is fully documented and photographed before the season catches the buyers who arrive with it.
On Quail Creek’s twelve-month record, no qualified sales recorded in April or July 2026, and the roll’s latest sale was August 3, so August was incomplete when the roll was cut (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). With 20 sales a year, a single month with no closings says little. The bigger seasonal fact is that the club’s in-season period runs October to April (directions page), and a spring listing can face a thinner pool of seasonal buyers as they head north. We would rather list early, before the season, than chase buyers late.
Yes. At Quail Creek, a Coco Plum Lane home built in 1986 recorded at $2,822,000 on September 30, 2025, and three more sales recorded in October 2025, at $1,885,000, $2,295,000 and $1,725,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Those deals were most likely negotiated in late summer. September is also when a well-prepared seller can launch before the October start of the club’s in-season calendar (directions page). A September contract closes as the season begins.
That depends on your plans, and we would rather answer it with your numbers than a slogan. The facts to weigh: The Creek and the practice facility are scheduled to reopen December 1, 2026 and The Quail to close April 1 to December 1, 2027 (strategic planning page), so the 2026 to 2027 season shows buyers a rebuilt Creek and a Quail still to come; the new flood map, now preliminary, targets a summer 2027 effective date (Collier County); and the 2026 median through August 28 is $2,850,000 on 11 sales (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a confidential conversation.
On September 26, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix showed 4 active Quail Creek listings. The county record supplies the other half of the months-of-supply math: 20 qualified sales in the last twelve months is about 1.7 a month (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). So each active listing is roughly 0.6 months of supply; the 4 active on September 26, 2026 are about 2.4 months at the county pace, and 2.2 months against the 1.8 MLS-marketed closings a month. We run that calculation live for any seller who asks, street by street.
Recent qualified sales on the Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary: $2,850,000 on Valewood Drive (1987 home, June 2026); $2,289,000 on Pond Apple Drive North (1988, June 2026); $3,870,000 on Pond Apple Drive East (1990, June 2026); $1,700,000 on Valewood Drive (1982, May 2026); $2,168,300 on Oak Leaf Drive (1990, May 2026); $4,200,000 on Butterfly Orchid Lane (2003, February 2026); and $5,045,000 on Valewood Drive (2025 build, December 2025). The twelve-month median is $2,836,000 across 20 sales. We do not publish house numbers or owner names.
The recorded sales cannot isolate a golf premium inside Quail Creek, because every homesite backs onto club-owned golf land, whether fairway, lake or native buffer (county parcel layer); there is no non-golf control group inside the gate. What drives the spread in the record is age, size, lot and condition: the same street, Valewood Drive, recorded $1,700,000 for a 1982 home and $5,045,000 for a 2025 build (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). The view you have, and what it looks across, is something we verify on site and match to comparable sales.
We match era, lot and street before view. Quail Creek’s recorded sales show why: in the last twelve months, four 1986 homes sold from $1,885,000 to $2,925,000, and four 1990 homes from $2,168,300 to $3,870,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). We compare on the county’s base-area measure, labeled as such, and never set it beside an MLS living-area figure. We then adjust for updates, roof and window age, pool and outlook, and for the flood determination on the lot (FEMA NFHL). The result is a price a buyer’s appraiser can follow.
Rarely, on the current record. Seven qualified vacant-lot sales since 2020 ran from $1,195,000 to $1,525,000, while the lowest improved sale of the last twelve months was $1,700,000, for a 1982 home on Valewood Drive (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). So even the oldest houses have sold above lot value. The rebuild math works for the buyer: one Valewood Drive lot sold vacant for $1,400,000 in 2024 and as a new home for $5,045,000 in December 2025. If your home needs everything, we price it both ways.
Weigh time against return. Any exterior change needs Architectural Review Committee approval (POA page) plus county permits, which can push a listing past the season. Some items change buyer math directly: under Florida law an insurer cannot refuse a policy solely because a roof is under 15 years old, and for an older roof it may require an inspection but cannot refuse coverage if the roof has at least five years of useful life left (section 627.7011). A wind-mitigation report can lower premiums (section 627.0629). With 255 of 287 homes built before 2000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), roofs and openings matter.
It is too early for the recorded sales to measure. What is published is the schedule: The Creek and practice facility are scheduled to reopen December 1, 2026 and The Quail to rebuild from April 1 to December 1, 2027 (strategic planning page), a $26 million renovation of all 36 holes that its architect, Ron Forse, calls a reimagining with every green rebuilt (The Golf Wire). During each construction year members play one course. For buyers, a newly rebuilt course is a marketing fact we use; for sellers backing onto a hole under construction, timing the listing and photography matters.
Mostly help, because it widens the pool. A non-golfing buyer pays no initiation and no dues (club realtor page), which keeps Quail Creek in play for buyers who would skip a mandatory-membership community. The trade-off shows up with golfers: joining is a separate decision, with a Class A initiation last published at $150,000 in 2025 (Membership Guide 2025) and availability that has swung between full and open. Estates owners get alternating priority for Class A openings, which we put in front of every golfing buyer.
For golfers, yes, because initiation is part of their total cost of arrival, and it has moved fast: Class A went from $25,000 in 2020 (capture) to $150,000 in 2025 (Membership Guide 2025). Over the same years the median recorded home sale rose from $1,475,000 in 2021 (27 sales) to $2,637,500 in 2025 (23 sales) (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), so rising fees have not stalled prices on the record. For non-golfers the fee is irrelevant. We show buyers the dated fee history so there are no surprises after the contract.
We publish Quail Creek’s recorded prices, and we do not set other communities’ numbers beside them without a like-for-like record. Quail Creek’s twelve-month median is $2,836,000 across 20 sales, with $662.70 per square foot of county base area (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). The structural differences are documented: Quail West requires membership of residents (Quail West), and Pelican Marsh has a CDD on the state list (special district profiles); Quail Creek has neither. Our Quail West, Grey Oaks and Pelican Marsh guides cover each.
The components are standard: the negotiated brokerage commission, Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, title and settlement charges, and association paperwork, which at Quail Creek means the POA estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes. Prorated property taxes appear on the settlement statement too; the median 2026 Quail Creek bill is $11,722.88 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). No online calculator knows your contract terms, so we build a seller net sheet from your price, your mortgage payoff and the title company’s figures. Start with a free home valuation.
Commission is negotiable, not set by law, and it is written into the listing agreement before your home goes on the market. What you should compare is what the fee buys: a price argument built from the county sale record, the POA and flood documents gathered before listing, marketing to golfers and non-golfers, and negotiation through inspection and the estoppel. Jesse McGreevy (Sales Associate) and Marc Comisar (Broker Associate) are licensed Florida REALTORS® with Domain Realty; Florida real estate licensure is regulated by the Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC). Ask us for our terms in writing.
Buyer-agent compensation is now a term the parties set in writing rather than something a listing assumes. A seller may offer it, a buyer may pay it, or the two may split it as part of the price negotiation, and each choice changes your net. We set out the options before listing, show how each lands on your net sheet, and keep the decision yours. At Quail Creek prices, where the twelve-month median is $2,836,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), the choice is material, so we model it with your numbers rather than a rule of thumb.
Your contract allocates them, so read it with us before you sign. The POA estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes is ordered for every resale; its fee, any POA transfer fee and any capital contribution are not published, and the next estoppel will state them. There is no club transfer on the home, because club membership is separate (club realtor page); a buyer who joins pays the club directly. There is no CDD payoff, because Quail Creek has no CDD (special district profiles).
Often, yes, and buyers should hear it from you first. The county roll shows the gap: the median 2026 bill is $9,544.85 for homesteaded homes and $15,216.33 for non-homesteaded homes, and the median just value of $1,720,839 sits well below the twelve-month median sale of $2,836,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Non-homestead tax runs about 0.94% of just value. Tell buyers to budget taxes from the price they pay, not from your current bill, and point them to the Collier County Tax Collector.
First, a pricing session from the county sale record and a free valuation. Second, documents: the POA’s governing documents and estoppel under section 720.30851, any architectural approvals, and your lot’s flood zone, LOMA letter or elevation certificate (FEMA NFHL). Third, preparation: a wind-mitigation report and roof review (section 627.0629). Fourth, photography and a showing plan through the gate. Fifth, contract, inspections and the buyer’s flood determination. Sixth, title, estoppel and closing. Your club resignation runs on its own track. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to start.
You can. The work is the same: you gather the POA estoppel under section 720.30851 and governing documents, pull your flood determination and any LOMA (FEMA NFHL), price from recorded sales (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), coordinate buyers through the gate and handle inspections and title. The club question comes up with every golfing buyer, and you will need to explain that membership is separate and that Class A openings alternate between non-owners and Estates owners on the Golf Waitlist (club realtor page). If you would like a second opinion on price before you decide, our valuation costs nothing.
It can be, if the price is right. A cash buyer skips the lender, so the lender’s flood-insurance requirement in zone AH (Collier floodplain FAQ) and a lender appraisal drop out of the timeline. The risk is price: a quick cash offer is only a good idea if it is measured against the recorded sales, which put the twelve-month median at $2,836,000 and the lowest improved sale at $1,700,000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). Even the vacant lots have sold for $1,195,000 to $1,525,000 since 2020. Test any offer against those numbers.
Disclosure duties come from Florida law and your contract, and we walk through the current forms with you. The facts to gather first: your lot’s zone on FEMA panel 12021C0211H (X or AH) and its status on the preliminary map (FEMA NFHL; preliminary NFHL); any LOMA, since 16 cases exist inside Quail Creek; any elevation certificate, which Collier may hold (Collier floodplain FAQ); insurance claims; and any storm repairs with permits. We found no public record of Quail Creek homes flooding in Irma or Ian. Disclose facts, not opinions.
From the POA: the estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes, and the governing documents, whose titles are the Amended and Restated Declaration of Protective Covenants, the Articles, the 2015 Bylaws, the Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration and the Architectural Planning Criteria dated September 22, 2021 (POA archived website). Keep any architectural approvals for past work (POA page). From your own files: flood determination, LOMA or elevation certificate, and insurance declarations. From the club: nothing the buyer needs, since membership is separate; your resignation follows your membership agreement.
The club does not approve buyers of homes, because membership is separate (club realtor page); only a buyer who applies to join goes through the club’s own process, historically subject to Membership Committee review (2006 page). Whether the Quail Creek Property Owners Association approves purchasers or leases is not published; it would be in the recorded Declaration and POA rules. Ask the POA office at 4886 Pond Apple Drive South for its current resale procedure when you list, so there is no surprise at closing (DBPR record).
For most Quail Creek homes, yes. 255 of 287 homes were built before 2000 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), and a buyer’s insurer will ask about roof age and openings. Florida requires insurers to offer wind-mitigation discounts and to post them online (section 627.0629), and limits refusals based on roof age alone (section 627.7011). Florida’s My Safe Florida Home program offers free wind inspections and grants of up to $10,000 (page dated September 16, 2026). A report in hand answers the buyer’s first insurance question before it slows the deal.
Directly. A buyer’s lender requires flood insurance if the lot is in zone AH, unless a LOMA applies (Collier floodplain FAQ), and Citizens requires a flood policy for non-SFHA homes with dwelling coverage of $400,000 or more from January 1, 2026 (Citizens). An elevation certificate lets the buyer’s agent price that coverage early. Collier’s Community Rating System Class 5 gives eligible NFIP policies a 25% discount (FEMA CRS). In ZIP 34119 the median NFIP premium was $888.50 in AH and $955 in X (OpenFEMA). Documented numbers keep buyers calm.
Every buyer enters through the single gated entrance on Valewood Drive, so we coordinate access with the gate for each appointment. Showings in the Estates do not include the club: the club’s realtor page says listing access does not permit self-guided club visits, and club tours are scheduled with the Membership office, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from May to September and weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from October to April (directions page). We book the club tour alongside the house for golfing buyers.
Many Quail Creek owners do: 30 of 287 homes, about 10.5%, have an owner mailing address outside Florida, led by Ontario, Wisconsin and Illinois (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). A remote sale needs a local team to manage access through the gate, vendors for any repairs, photography and inspections, and a title company able to close by mail or electronically. The POA estoppel and your flood documents can be gathered without you on site. Request a remote valuation, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 and we will map the timeline.
Compare the rules against your goals. Leasing minimums and approval steps are in the recorded Declaration and POA rules, which are not online (POA archived website), so read them before you plan a season. Carrying costs continue: the median non-homestead tax bill is $15,216.33 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary), plus the POA assessment and insurance. A tenant’s club use depends on the club’s own rules, since membership is separate from the home (club realtor page). For some owners a season covers costs; for others, selling into a market with a $2,836,000 twelve-month median is the cleaner choice.
Start with who has authority to sign, which the estate’s attorney confirms, then price with care. Many inherited Quail Creek homes are original 1980s builds, and the record shows even those sell above lot value: the lowest improved sale of the last twelve months was $1,700,000 for a 1982 home, against vacant-lot sales of $1,195,000 to $1,525,000 since 2020 (Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary). If the home loses its homestead exemption, the tax bill can rise. Gather the POA estoppel, flood documents and insurance history early.
It needs facts, stated neutrally. The club’s 2024 ball-containment structures near Hole 10 and the range led to a code case, with violations found April 4, 2025 (Naples Daily News), and a countywide debate over barrier heights: the county’s advisory committee asked for a county standard (DSAC packet), the Planning Commission advanced 35 feet by right with conditional use above (Citizen Portal), and the club dropped its taller by-right request (Naples Daily News). Final county action was pending as of September 2026. We disclose the public record, not opinions about value.

Every fact on this Quail Creek Country Club page traces to a primary or established record, and the list below names each one: the club’s own pages and archived captures, Florida corporate filings and statutes, Collier County records and GIS services, FEMA, USGS, NWS and Census data, and reporting from established news organizations.
Two standing rules govern this list. Collier County parcel, value, tax and recorded-sale facts are cited as Collier County tax roll, 2026 preliminary, in plain text, and multiple listing service figures are cited as Southwest Florida MLS Matrix in plain text. No realtor site, portal or brokerage listing feed appears anywhere on this page as a source.
Quail Creek Country Club’s membership guide, the property owners’ association’s recorded articles, Collier County planning and floodplain records, FEMA map changes, school grades and storm reports are public documents, and the table below links each one to the authority that publishes it. No copy is hosted by us or by any third party.
Two practical notes. The recorded Declaration, its amendments, the 2015 Bylaws and the Architectural Planning Criteria are not online; request them from the Quail Creek Property Owners Association or the Collier Clerk’s official records. Collier County servers sometimes refuse automated requests but open normally in a browser.
