Stonebridge Country Club

McGreevy and Comisar are the #1 luxury real estate team selling and buying in Stonebridge Country Club. Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008. Over $900 million in personal sales. The team Stonebridge Country Club homeowners call first. We price a Stonebridge listing against what its own neighborhood has actually recorded at the county, and we walk buyers through the full cost of the membership before they write an offer. Stonebridge Country Club is a gated, bundled-golf community of 799 residences in North Naples, Florida. It sits in unincorporated Collier County, ZIP 34109, “nestled discretely behind the corner of Immokalee Road and Airport Pulling Road North,” in the words of the club’s site plan page, with gated entrances on both roads and the Gulf beaches about three miles away in a straight line.

Every owner is a member of the club. “When you purchase a home in Stonebridge, you are automatically a member of the country club. There are no equity or deposits required to become a member,” per the club’s membership page, and the association that runs the club is also the master homeowners association, “both a country club and a homeowner’s association (HOA),” per its Cost of Ownership page. Ten neighborhoods share the gate: four fee-simple (Hawthorne Estates, Thornbrooke, Shoreham and Manchester) and six condominiums (Ashton Oaks, Braeburn, Carrington, Heatherwood, Middleburg and Willow Bend). Taylor Woodrow built every home between 1995 and 2002, owners have run the association since November 1, 2001, and the 18-hole, par 71 Gene Bates course was redesigned by Kipp Schulties in 2023. For fiscal year 2027 the club-level charge is $17,600 a year per residence, plus a neighborhood or condominium fee of $2,412 to $7,800, per the club’s FY2027 fee schedule dated September 2, 2026.

This guide is built from the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll and its recorded sales, Collier County’s zoning records, the Clerk’s recorded declarations and plats, Florida corporate filings, and the club’s own fee schedules, budgets and governing documents. If you own here, the market section shows what your neighborhood has recorded every year since 2021. If you are buying, the living section shows what the membership, the one-time charges and a normal week actually involve.

Recent Stonebridge Country Club track record (last 12 months), from the county deed record. Working from the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll, sales file dated August 29, 2026, in the last 12 months we tracked 35 qualified sales among 93 recorded deeds on Stonebridge residences for the window August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026: 14 fee-simple sales out of 32 fee-simple deeds, and 21 condominium sales out of 61 condominium deeds. The qualified sales ran from $365,000 (a Willow Bend condominium at 1980 Willow Bend Circle, recorded December 17, 2025) to $2,001,000 (1643 Manchester Court, recorded June 12, 2026). The fee-simple median was $985,000 (n=14; an even count, so the median is the mean of the middle pair, and both middle sales were $985,000), and the condominium median was $437,500 (n=21). Manchester Court alone recorded four qualified sales, at $1,835,000, $1,900,000, $2,000,000 and $2,001,000. These are recorded deeds, not listings, and they are labeled that way everywhere they appear on this page.

The same year on the MLS. On the Southwest Florida MLS, closings September 25, 2025 to September 24, 2026, pulled September 24, 2026, Stonebridge recorded 33 MLS closings for $21,787,500 in closed volume, with a median of 26 days on market and a median sold-to-list ratio of 95.43%. The highest MLS closing was $1,900,000, a Manchester Court home that closed in March 2026, and three closings recorded 0 days on market. On September 24, 2026 the MLS showed 9 active listings. The county deed layer above stays our primary record; the MLS layer adds the speed and pricing figures that deeds do not carry.

For luxury Stonebridge Country Club sellers: Premium marketing, including cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion with off-market capability when needed. Stonebridge is gated, and the club publishes its own open house and sign rules, so a buyer who cannot simply drive in on a Sunday has to be reached before arriving. That makes a Stonebridge listing a marketing problem first, which is the problem we are built for.

Key Takeaways

Stonebridge Country Club’s eight most load-bearing facts cover its membership, what it costs to own and to buy in, what homes sell for, the golf renovation, flood risk, schools and the road work coming to its gates. Each figure comes from a county record, a state or federal source, or the club’s own published documents.

• Bundled, non-equity and owned by its owners. Every one of the 799 residences carries club membership, and the club says “There are no equity or deposits required to become a member” on its membership page. The Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll lists the owners’ association as owner of record of the golf course and clubhouse, and the 1996 Fourth Supplemental Declaration (OR 2147, Page 1335) required the developer to deed the club facilities to it.
• $17,600 a year in club-level charges for FY2027, billed at $4,400 a quarter from October 1, 2026, per the club’s FY2027 fee schedule, plus a neighborhood fee of $2,412 to $4,560 for fee-simple homes or a calendar-2026 condominium fee of $5,300 to $7,800. There is no food-and-beverage minimum and no community development district.
• An outside buyer pays a $17,500 New Owner Capital Contribution at closing, plus a $600 membership transfer fee and a $299 estoppel fee (FY2027). Until April 2025 the contribution was a Declaration formula that came to about $6,197 for an outside buyer, per the club’s FY2025 schedule; the change appears in club documents, and we have not yet located the recorded amendment.
• Two price worlds under one gate. In recorded deeds from August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026, the six condominiums sold at a median of $437,500 (n=21) and the fee-simple homes at a median of $985,000 (n=14), with Manchester Court’s four sales at $1,835,000 to $2,001,000, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll.
• A 2023 rebuild. Kipp Schulties redesigned the Gene Bates course in 2023, and a new Bistro and resort-style pool were open by spring 2024 (a trade publication reported in May 2024 that they opened that March). A $1,920-a-year Clubhouse Renovation Fee repays the loan, which the club says will be paid off in February 2035, per its Cost of Ownership page.
• Flood risk is address-specific. Most street points we tested map in FEMA shaded Zone X, but lake-edge pockets on Springberry Circle and Wexford Court in Hawthorne Estates and part of Willow Bend map as Zone AE on the maps effective February 8, 2024, per the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer.
• All-A school assignment. Every Stonebridge address we queried in the Collier County Public Schools zone database for 2026-27 is assigned to Pelican Marsh Elementary, Pine Ridge Middle and Aubrey Rogers High, each graded A in the district’s 2026 accountability brief.
• Road work is coming to the gates. Airport-Pulling Road is designed for six lanes past the west gate, per the county’s 60% design handout, and the county has said no noise wall will be built. A Livingston Road flyover over Immokalee Road, about a mile east of the Immokalee gate, is in design, as Gulfshore Business reported.

Living in Stonebridge Country Club as a Homebuyer

Living in Stonebridge Country Club means owning a 1995 to 2002 resale behind a guarded gate, with club membership attached to the deed: golf with no green fees, tennis, fitness, four dining venues and a two-mile loop road. About four in ten homes are primary residences, and every owner pays $17,600 in FY2027 club-level charges.

Stonebridge is a bundled club, and that changes the arithmetic of buying here, as the club’s Cost of Ownership page lays out. The price on the contract is the first number; the one-time capital contribution, the quarterly club bill and the neighborhood or condominium fee are the rest. The subsections below take each piece in the order a buyer meets it, and the full fee stack has its own section further down this page.

Two Gated Entrances and a Guardhouse

Stonebridge has two gated entrances, on Immokalee Road and on Airport-Pulling Road North, per the club’s August 2019 General Manager’s report and 2019 annual meeting presentation.

The club advertises a “24 hours guarded gatehouse” on its membership page. Its FY2025 budget shows the Airport-Pulling Road gate staffed as well: management listed “Don’t staff the Airport gate” as a $75,000 savings option, $93.87 per door, and the Board did not adopt it, per the FY2025 dues and budget package. No public club document we read gives the staffed hours at each entrance, so if round-the-clock staffing at the second gate matters to you, ask the membership office in writing during your inspection period.

Inside the gates, the 2019 GM report describes a community “monitored throughout the day by the roving patrol,” and the club’s staff directory lists a Community Access Supervisor. A resident gate bar code costs $15 plus 6% sales tax on the FY2027 schedule; we read that as the vehicle bar code for the resident lanes. One line from the Declaration is worth reading before closing: the association “shall not in any way be considered an insurer or guarantor of security,” per the Amended and Restated Declaration the club posted in 2019. The gate is an operating choice, not a promise attached to your deed.

Ten Neighborhoods, Two Ways to Own

Stonebridge is not one product. It is 219 detached single-family homes, 32 attached duplex villas and 548 condominium and coach-home units, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll and the recorded neighborhood declarations. The club calls three of the condominiums “coach homes” (Ashton Oaks, Braeburn and Middleburg) and three “condominiums” (Carrington, Heatherwood and Willow Bend) on its Cost of Ownership page.

Source: Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll and its recorded sales, qualified sales only.

Two things in that table change how you shop:

• Two regimes, not ten. The four fee-simple neighborhoods answer only to the master association, which bills their neighborhood fee on the club account. The six condominiums each have their own Chapter 718 association, budget, manager and rules on top of the master association.
• Pools are a house feature, not a condo feature. The county roll records a private pool on 219 of the 251 fee-simple homes, about 87 percent, including 19 of Shoreham’s 32 villas and all 34 homes on Manchester Court. Condominium units have no private pools; the condominium fee pays for a neighborhood pool, per the club’s Cost of Ownership page.

Every Home Is a Resale, Built 1995 to 2002

Every one of Stonebridge’s 799 residences was built between 1995 and 2002, per the building records on the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll: no new-construction phases, no builder incentives and no lots left to sell. At 24 to 31 years old, the inspection matters more than the model name. Ask when the roof was replaced, which openings carry impact-rated glass or protection, and whether a wind mitigation inspection exists, because those are what an insurer prices from.

The Membership Comes With the Deed

Stonebridge membership is automatic and cannot be declined. “When you purchase a home in Stonebridge, you are automatically a member of the country club,” per the club’s membership page, and the club calls itself a Common Interest Realty Association, “both a country club and a homeowner’s association (HOA),” on its Cost of Ownership page.

• You pay whether or not you play. The club-level charge is the same for every residence, golfer or not.
• There is no equity to buy. The club says no equity or deposit is required. An outside buyer instead pays a one-time $17,500 New Owner Capital Contribution at closing, per the FY2027 fee schedule; the transfer and estoppel fees and the existing-owner rule are in the fee stack section below.
• The owners own the club. The county roll lists the owners’ association as owner of record of the golf course and clubhouse, and the 1996 Fourth Supplemental Declaration (OR 2147, Page 1335) required the developer to deed the club facilities to it before turnover.

That puts Stonebridge in the same family as Naples Lakes Country Club, where the homeowners association also owns the course, and makes it the opposite of neighboring Pelican Marsh, where golf is a separate, optional club.

What $17,600 a Year Pays For

For FY2027 (October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027), every Stonebridge residence pays $17,600 a year in club-level charges, billed quarterly at $4,400, per the club’s fee schedule dated September 2, 2026. Members pay no green fees ($35 per 18-hole round with cart), there is no food-and-beverage minimum, and there is no CDD; the neighborhood or condominium fee, taxes and insurance come on top. For every line, including the two master-association lines the club’s documents label oppositely, see the fee stack section below.

Getting Around Inside the Gates

The club describes “a scenic two-mile loop around the community” for walking, jogging and biking on its lifestyle page. That loop is Winding Oaks Way, the spine road, which carries the clubhouse at 2100 Winding Oaks Way; the club’s open house rules treat every other street as a side road off it, which is how we read the layout. Every Braeburn coach home, 64 Thornbrooke homes and 53 Hawthorne Estates homes have a Winding Oaks Way address, per the county roll.

The golf course is for golf. Walking, jogging and bicycling are not permitted on the course or cart paths “at any time, with the exception of designated club sponsored events,” per the club’s Golf Rules and Regulations, dated October 9, 2019. The Carrington and Willow Bend lease forms prohibit street parking.

The Rhythm of the Year

• January to April. Golf carts are mandatory January through April except at designated walking times, in-season morning tee times are reserved for cart players, and guests may not reserve tee times before noon from January to March, per the 2019 Golf Rules. Friday brings fine dining in the Dining Room and live music and dancing at the Bistro, and Saturdays carry special events with live entertainment from January to April, per the club’s lifestyle page.
• October to April. The Bistro serves dinner on Monday nights; management listed closing it on Mondays as a savings option in the FY2025 budget, and the Board kept it open.
• Summer. The course closes briefly for agronomy work; the Director of Grounds’ blog reported a late-May closure with reopening on June 6, 2026. Non-resident summer members join from May to October, per the FY2027 schedule and the club’s summer membership announcement, and the club’s hurricane preparedness guidelines include a checklist for “when leaving for the summer.”

Today’s four venues are The Lounge, The Dining Room, The Veranda and The Bistro. Venue hours are posted only in the member portal, so they are not reproduced here.

The Rules a Buyer Signs Up For

The master Declaration sets the baseline for every home, per the Amended and Restated Declaration:

• Leasing: a minimum of 30 days, no more than four leases per unit per calendar year, and whole units only. Condominium associations add their own lease rules, covered in the logistics section of this page.
• Pets: household pets, leashed outside the home, in a “reasonable number” set by the Board. The Golf Rules keep pets off the golf course.
• Vehicles: commercial vehicles, RVs, boats and trailers only inside an enclosed garage.
• Changes to the outside: every exterior change, pool and landscaping change needs Architectural Review Committee approval.
• Age: none. Stonebridge is not a 55-plus community, and the master Declaration carries no age restriction.

What Stonebridge Does Not Have

Stonebridge Country Club in Naples is a golf community, not a waterfront one. There is no marina and no beach club. The club’s racquet program is five Har-Tru tennis courts, and no pickleball appears in the club’s published schedules. The beach is about three miles away in a straight line, and the lakes inside the gate are part of the golf landscape. Each absence has its own short section further down this page.

Thinking About Buying or Selling in Stonebridge Country Club? Start With the Neighborhood

Every Stonebridge home carries the same $17,600 club layer, but not the same carrying cost: add the neighborhood or condominium fee from the club’s FY2027 fee schedule and a Thornbrooke home comes to $20,012 a year while an Ashton Oaks coach home comes to $25,400 (the condominium fee is the calendar-2026 figure). The neighborhood you choose moves the carrying cost and the resale price more than the kitchen does.

Stonebridge Country Club Market Snapshot: What Homes Actually Sell For

Stonebridge Country Club recorded 35 qualified sales among 93 recorded deeds from August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026, from $365,000 for a Willow Bend condominium to $2,001,000 on Manchester Court. Condominiums sold at a median of $437,500 (n=21) and fee-simple homes at $985,000 (n=14), per the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll.

Data updated: September 2026

Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure in this section comes from the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll, files dated August 29, 2026. Four definitions govern the tables:

• Recorded deed means any deed the county recorded on a Stonebridge residence in the period, including transfers between family members, into trusts, corrective deeds and other transfers that were never a market sale.
• Qualified sale means a deed the county itself flagged as qualified, its test for an arm’s-length market sale. Every price on this page is a qualified sale. We say “35 qualified sales among 93 recorded deeds,” never “93 sales.”
• T12 means the trailing twelve months by recording date, August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026. It overlaps the last four months of calendar 2025, so the 2025 and T12 columns share some sales.
• Price per square foot is the recorded deed price divided by the county roll’s base area for the residence building, a county measure that differs from the living area in a listing. It is labeled “county base area” everywhere it appears and is never compared with an MLS figure.

Fee-simple homes are assigned to neighborhoods by the lot ranges in their recorded Supplemental Declarations, not by plat; condominiums by recorded condominium.

The Trailing Twelve Months, Neighborhood by Neighborhood

Source: Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll; recorded sales August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026; qualified sales only. Per-foot figures for groups of one to four sales are shown sale by sale in the same order as the prices.

How to read it:

• Where there are one to four sales, we list them. Manchester, Hawthorne Estates, Shoreham, Middleburg, Braeburn and Heatherwood each recorded four or fewer qualified sales, so the table shows every sale instead of a median. A handful of sales is a data point, not a market rate.
• The medians that are printed carry their n. Thornbrooke (n=7) and Carrington (n=7) are odd counts, so each median is an actual sale. Willow Bend (n=6) is even: its median is the mean of the middle pair, $390,000 and $400,000. The fee-simple median (n=14) is the mean of the middle pair, both $985,000. The condominium median (n=21) is an actual sale.
• One number describes no house. The median of all 35 qualified sales is $650,000, but a blend of $400,000 condominiums and $2 million Manchester Court homes describes nothing that exists here, which is why this page reads the market by neighborhood.
• The low Thornbrooke sale. Thornbrooke’s range starts at $617,000 (1768 Winding Oaks Way, April 25, 2026), well below the neighborhood’s other six sales at $930,000 to $1,250,000. The median, not the average, is the number to use.

Every Year Since 2021, Neighborhood by Neighborhood

The two tables below give every calendar year from 2021 to 2025 and the trailing twelve months. Each cell shows the qualified price, then the qualified sales out of recorded deeds in brackets. Where a neighborhood recorded one to four qualified sales in a year, the cell lists the sales themselves instead of a median.

Even-count medians are the mean of the middle pair: Thornbrooke 2021 ($699,900 and $735,000), 2023 ($912,000 and $925,000) and 2025 (both $985,000); Ashton Oaks 2021 ($454,900 and $470,000); Braeburn 2021 ($500,000 and $520,000); Carrington 2022 ($415,000 and $419,000) and 2023 ($430,000 and $475,000); Heatherwood 2021 ($295,000 and $302,500); Willow Bend 2025 ($440,000 and $466,000) and T12 ($390,000 and $400,000).

Community-Wide Activity by Year

Source: our sums of the neighborhood rows above, Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll.

2021 was the pandemic surge (80 qualified sales); since then, 32 to 54 a year, about four to seven percent of the 799 homes. A 2001 club article on the resale process predicted “the average number of resales per year will be around five percent,” and a quarter-century later the county record still sits close to that.

Price per Square Foot on County Base Area

Source: Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll. Each figure is the recorded deed price divided by the county roll’s base area for the residence building; it is not an MLS living-area figure and should never be compared with one.

Reading the Trend: Houses Up, Condominiums Off Their Peak

Four readings come out of the tables, each with the arithmetic shown.

• Fee-simple prices rose steadily. Thornbrooke’s median qualified sale went from $717,450 in 2021 (n=8) to $975,000 in the trailing twelve months (n=7), about 36 percent. Manchester Court’s two 2021 sales were $820,000 and $875,000; its four T12 sales ran $1,835,000 to $2,001,000, on thin volume in both periods.
• Condominium prices peaked in 2023 or 2024 and have eased. Willow Bend went from a $469,000 median in 2023 (n=7) to $395,000 in the T12 (n=6); Carrington from $452,500 in 2023 (n=6) to $410,000 (n=7). Braeburn’s median was $769,000 in 2024 (n=7), and its four T12 sales ran $650,000 to $799,000.
• Condominium fees roughly doubled in the same years. Willow Bend’s association fee was $3,808 on the club’s FY2019 neighborhood fee detail and is $7,500 for calendar 2026 on the FY2027 schedule; Middleburg’s went from $4,300 to $7,080. Those were the same years in which Florida’s condominium reserve and insurance costs rose statewide. We present that as context, not as a proven cause of the price softening.
• Same floor plans, different fee, different price. Willow Bend and Heatherwood share the same 1,433 and 1,592 square foot county base areas, yet Willow Bend’s calendar-2026 fee ($7,500) is $2,200 a year higher than Heatherwood’s ($5,300), and Willow Bend’s T12 median of $276 (n=6) per square foot of county base area is the lowest in Stonebridge. Our reading, and it is an inference, is that the fee gap is showing up in the price.

Who Owns: Homestead Shares and Where Owners Live

Source: Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll; group totals are our sums. Owners with a Florida mailing address: 430 of 799 (53.8%).

Our reading, not a survey: Hawthorne Estates and Thornbrooke are mostly year-round homes, Carrington, Heatherwood and Willow Bend mostly second homes and rentals, and the coach homes sit in between. Massachusetts is among the top owner states in every neighborhood (at least 72 owners), and at least 18 owners list Ontario addresses.

Just Values and Property Taxes on the 2026 Preliminary Roll

Source: Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll; medians across every residence in the neighborhood. The aggregate just value of all 799 residences is about $460.2 million.

Every Stonebridge parcel sits in millage area 133, which carried 9.5058 mills for tax year 2025 and shows 9.4020 mills on the 2026 preliminary roll; the 2026 rates are proposed, not adopted (the county’s adopted FY2026 rates are in its budget hearing documents). At 9.4020 mills, each $100,000 of taxable value costs about $940 a year. Non-ad-valorem assessments are $0 on every Stonebridge parcel.

The seller’s tax bill is not the buyer’s tax bill. Florida’s Save Our Homes cap resets when a home sells (portability aside), so a buyer’s taxes are recalculated on the new assessment, and the median bills above understate what a new owner will pay. Bills are mailed October 31, with a 4 percent discount for paying in November, 3 in December, 2 in January and 1 in February; they are due in March and delinquent April 1, per the Collier County Tax Collector.

The MLS Layer

The deed record answers what sold and at what price. How long a home took to sell and how close it closed to its asking price are MLS questions. The table below is the Southwest Florida MLS, closings September 25, 2025 to September 24, 2026, pulled September 24, 2026. Where a neighborhood has four or fewer closings we list them rather than give a median; with an even count the median is the mean of the middle pair.

Summary, same record and window. All 33 closings: median $504,500, 26 days on market, 95.43% sold-to-list. Fee-simple (n=8): median $985,000, the mean of the middle pair, $985,000 and $985,000; median 28.5 days on market, the mean of the middle pair, 15 and 42; median sold-to-list 92.96%, the mean of the middle pair, 92.44% and 93.47%. Condominium (n=25): median $440,000, 26 days on market, 96.00% sold-to-list. The MLS median across all closings was $336 per square foot of living area. That figure divides by living area, while the county per-foot table above divides by county base area; the two use different denominators and should not be compared with each other.

Active inventory. On September 24, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS showed 9 active Stonebridge listings, asking $389,000 to $995,000: six condominiums, one Thornbrooke home and two Shoreham villas. At the trailing pace of 33 closings a year, that is about 3.3 months of supply.

Why the counts differ. The county layer shows 35 qualified sales by recording date, August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026. The MLS shows 33 closings by close date, September 25, 2025 to September 24, 2026. The windows are offset by about a month, and the MLS covers only sales that were listed on it, while the county’s qualified sales also include private sales. Neither figure is wrong; they measure different things.

Five Years of MLS Closings, Neighborhood by Neighborhood

The twelve-month MLS table above is thin for most neighborhoods, so we pulled every Stonebridge closing in the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix for the five years to September 26, 2026 (Development STONEBRIDGE, 190 closings) and assigned each to its neighborhood by street and house number. Across the community, homes sold at a median 95.4% of their final list price over the last 24 months and 96.8% over 60 months, and the median days on market more than doubled, from 14 over five years to 31 over the last two.

Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, retrieved September 26, 2026. Sold-to-list divides the sold price by the final list price and excludes closings entered after the fact with no marketed list price. Every neighborhood guide linked in the ten-neighborhood section below carries its own 24, 36 and 60 month table and the same ten-row yardstick.

How Did Stonebridge Country Club Come to Be?

Stonebridge Country Club began as Southampton at Naples, a planned unit development Collier County first zoned in 1988 and approved in its current form in 1992. The golf course opened in 1992; Taylor Woodrow took over the developer’s rights in 1994, renamed the community, built every home from 1995 to 2002, and handed control to owners in 2001.

The public record files this community under both names. Where the club’s history differs from the recorded chain, we publish the record as fact and the club’s version as its account.

The Recorded Chain, Date by Date

Southampton at Naples, 1988 to 1994

The club’s own history says development began in March 1989 under Weiner Homes Corporation. The public record starts earlier and names someone else: a 1988 county zoning ordinance for “Southampton at Naples,” and a developer, Southampton Development Corporation, that filed with the state in December 1989. Weiner Homes Corporation of Florida, Inc. was an Estero-based builder that filed with the state in 1986 and dissolved in 1993; the club’s narrative is the only link we found between it and this land.

The zoning moved in three steps. Collier County zoned the land as the Southampton planned unit development by Ordinance 88-53 in 1988, re-adopted it as Ordinance 91-46, and replaced both with Ordinance 92-24, approved April 28, 1992, which covers 313.5 acres, per the county’s PUD Master List. The Declaration still recites the original 88-53 “as amended.”

The master association is older than the Stonebridge name. It was incorporated on March 10, 1992 as Southampton Golf and Country Club Community Association, renamed Stonebridge Country Club Community Association in November 1994, and restated its articles in March 1995, per the Florida Division of Corporations. The club dates the Stonebridge name to February 1995, when the state accepted a further amendment.

On August 28, 1992 the Southampton-era developer recorded the first Declaration for Southampton at Naples (OR 1748, Page 1) and the first plat, Southampton Unit One (Plat Book 19, Page 92), recorded as SOUTHAMPTON UNIT 1. The golf course had already opened that February as the Southampton golf course, a par 72 laid out by Gene Bates, formerly of the Jack Nicklaus design group and later a partner in Couples/Bates Golf Design, with a mobile home serving as the golf shop, per the club’s history and the Appendix A course history in its Golf Rules. From 1992 to 1994, the club says, deposits were taken on lots and condominiums but there was “no construction other than the golf course.”

The 1994 assignment of developer rights shows what Southampton was meant to become. It names neighborhoods that were never built under those names: Bridgeview Estates, Lucaya and Sienna at Southampton.

Taylor Woodrow Takes Over, 1994

Taylor Woodrow Communities took over the developer’s rights by an assignment recorded October 14, 1994 (OR 1994, Page 439); the club dates the purchase to September 1994. On March 17, 1995 Taylor Woodrow recorded the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Stonebridge Country Club (OR 2040, Page 1), effective January 23, 1995, which describes itself as “an amendment and total and absolute restatement of the Prior Declaration.” Every neighborhood supplement recorded afterward hangs off that instrument.

The new names came from England. “The revised logo, street and neighborhood names were derived from locations and fixtures found in England,” per the club’s history, which is why a buyer here chooses between Manchester, Shoreham, Middleburg and Braeburn, on streets named Leamington, Wexford and Aberdeen.

The builder of record is Taylor Woodrow Communities, a Florida partnership of Taylor Woodrow Homes Florida, Inc. and Monarch Homes of Florida, Inc., which also recorded the Monterosso at Mediterra and Portofino at Pelican Marsh declarations from 1998 to 2002. Stonebridge was built by Taylor Woodrow, the British homebuilder whose U.S. business is today’s Taylor Morrison: Taylor Woodrow plc and George Wimpey plc merged in July 2007 to form Taylor Wimpey, a consortium bought Taylor Morrison and Monarch in July 2011 for about $1.2 billion, and Taylor Morrison Home Corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange on April 12, 2013, per the company’s Form 10-K.

Building Out, 1995 to 2002

No home on the county roll predates 1995: every one of Stonebridge’s 799 residences was built between 1995 and 2002, after Taylor Woodrow took over, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll. The club says the golf course was the only thing built under the earlier developer. The neighborhood supplements and condominium declarations were recorded from May 1995 (Hawthorne Estates) to December 1998 (Manchester), per the Collier Clerk’s records; the club posts the supplements in its June 2020 compilation.

Taylor Woodrow opened the clubhouse in January 1996, according to the club, and during buildout hole 6 became a par 4, turning the 1992 par 72 into today’s par 71. The 1996 Fourth Supplemental Declaration (OR 2147, Page 1335) committed the developer to deed the Common Property, “including the Club Facilities and the Stonebridge Country Club Sales Center,” to the association before turnover; the Sales Center became the fitness center and a multi-use room. The last building, Carrington’s Phase 4 Building 17, had its completion recorded on January 24, 2002.

Turnover: November 1, 2001

Owners took control from Taylor Woodrow at a turnover meeting on November 1, 2001, per the meeting minutes the club posted at the time. The developer’s directors resigned, an owner-elected board took over, and new insurance took effect at 12:01 a.m. that day. Taylor Woodrow kept using the Sales Center through December 2001 in exchange for building a fitness center available to members by January 1, 2002, and the club had 46 non-resident annual golf members at turnover, paying $3,500 for a family and $2,900 for a single.

The resale economics of that era make a useful contrast with today. A 2001 club article on the resale process quoted a $100 membership transfer fee; the FY2027 schedule charges $600, alongside the $17,500 capital contribution for an outside buyer.

The Owners’ Era, 2002 to Today

The 2003 President’s Annual Report called the Immokalee Road widening “the major problem facing the Stonebridge community … a threat of litigation through condemnation proceedings.” The county roll’s legal description of the golf course parcel still excludes land taken under Order of Taking 04-3588 (OR 3697, Page 274), a reminder that the widening reached the club’s edge.

Gordon Lewis rebuilt every green in 2010, and the clubhouse was renovated and expanded in a 33,000-square-foot project completed in September 2014. Construction on the Kipp Schulties renovation began April 3, 2023, according to the club’s Director of Grounds, and the club streamed its renovation reveal on November 29, 2023; the club says the redesign was completed in 2023. The new Bistro and resort-style pool were open by spring 2024: a trade publication reported in May 2024 that they opened that March. Club + Resort Business reported that the roughly $8 million pool and Bistro project was part of a two-phase, $16 million renovation that included the redesigned golf course.

The Stonebridge Country Club Master Plan: 313.5 Acres, Five Plats, Ten Neighborhoods

Stonebridge Country Club covers 313.5 acres in Section 26, Township 48 South, Range 25 East, zoned as the Southampton planned unit development by Collier Ordinance 92-24. The county lists the PUD as closed out. Five recorded plats, numbered lots 1 to 251 in one continuous run, carry the houses, and six condominium declarations carry the 548 condominium units.

The PUD on the County’s Books

Collier County’s PUD Master List, dated January 25, 2022, records the planned unit development as “SOUTHAMPTON,” petition PUD-87-48(1), also known as Stonebridge: Ordinance 92-24, approved April 28, 1992, 313.50 acres, in the North Naples planning area, status CLOSED OUT, with an estimated buildout of 2003. A closed-out PUD has no developer holding unsold entitlements: the Stonebridge you tour is the Stonebridge that was built.

Where the Boundaries Run

The club describes the setting as “nestled discretely behind the corner of Immokalee Road and Airport Pulling Road North,” per its site plan page. Airport-Pulling Road North runs along the west side and Immokalee Road along the north. Section 26 also holds Victoria Park, Victoria Lakes, Victoria Shores, Naples Trace, Hidden Harbour, Southwinds Estates and a cluster of medical offices, none of which is part of Stonebridge; a buyer searching the section should not read a neighbor’s sales, flood maps or fees as Stonebridge’s. The clubhouse address is 2100 Winding Oaks Way, Naples, FL 34109, per the club’s directions page.

Stonebridge by Plat

Lot numbers run continuously from 1 to 251 across the five single-family plats, which is what lets the recorded neighborhood supplements map onto street addresses.

Source: Collier Clerk recorded documents and the club’s Supplemental Declarations compilation.

Two notes on that table. Units Two and Three each mix neighborhoods (Unit Two is 22 Hawthorne Estates and 25 Thornbrooke lots; Unit Three is 10 Hawthorne Estates, 31 Thornbrooke and 32 Shoreham lots), so a plat is never a neighborhood on this page. And Manchester is the 34 homes on Manchester Court (Stonebridge Unit Five, lots 218 to 251), created by a 1998 supplemental declaration. We place it by elimination: the recorded declarations assign every other single-family lot, 1 through 217, to Hawthorne Estates, Thornbrooke or Shoreham.

The Golf Land and the Common Tracts

The golf course is the largest single piece of the plan. On the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll, the main golf parcel at 9901 Airport Rd N is 146.44 acres, drawn from the Southampton Unit One golf tracts GC 1 to 10 plus Unit Two’s GC-11 and GC-12 and Unit Four’s GC-11. The clubhouse site at 2100 Winding Oaks Way is 7.63 acres, the parcel at 9889 Airport Rd N is 12.29 acres, and four more common tracts measure 13.42, 4.21, 3.05 and 2.74 acres. Smaller common tracts include Unit Three’s landscaped buffers L1 to L3, Unit Four’s Tract I (4.51 acres) and Tract R (2.63 acres), and Unit Five’s open-space Tract A-5 (0.40 acre).

The member-era Declaration defines the Club Facilities as Tract C and all “GC” tracts on the Southampton Unit One plat and treats them as Common Area. The 1996 Fourth Supplemental Declaration removed the developer’s option to take the club facilities out of the Declaration, which is why the course and clubhouse are association property today rather than a developer’s asset.

Lakes, Preserve and Water

The club describes the land as “set along acres of freshwater lakes, lush fairways, and nature preserves,” per its About page, and water comes into play on 15 of the 18 holes, per the club’s golf page. No primary record we read states the lake or preserve acreage, so this page does not print one; the answer sits in the ordinance exhibits and the water management permit.

What is recorded is a Preservation Easement to Collier County over Hawthorne Estates lots 1 to 10 (OR 2056, Pages 26 to 55), maintained by the association. The Declaration also provides for a central irrigation system and allows effluent on the golf course and common areas; which water source the club actually uses today is not stated in the records we read.

A Decade of Flood-Map Letters

From 1998 to 2008 the developer and owners obtained a series of FEMA Letters of Map Change for specific Stonebridge tracts, buildings and lots, including one for Southampton Unit One Tracts A and E to G and Siena at Southampton, one for twelve Unit Five lots, and one for Heatherwood Buildings 3 to 5. FEMA revalidated the list with the 2024 maps in letter 18-04-0009V, effective February 9, 2024. No map revision (LOMR) applies to the community. If you are buying a home on one of the listed lots or buildings, ask the seller for a copy of the letter, and the flood section of this page shows what the current maps say address by address.

Talk to McGreevy and Comisar About Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club is a closed-out, 313.5-acre plan with every lot and unit built by 2002, so no builder will ever compete with your resale, and the only way to price a home here is against its own neighborhood’s recorded sales.

Who Governs Stonebridge Country Club, and What Does That Mean for an Owner?

Stonebridge Country Club is governed by one nonprofit, Stonebridge Country Club Community Association, Inc., which is both the master homeowners association and the club, and which holds title to the golf course and clubhouse. Six condominium associations sit beneath it. The four single-family neighborhoods have advisory committees, not corporations. There is no CDD.

That structure decides who bills you, who can raise your fees and whose estoppel certificate your closing waits on.

One association that is also the club

The governing body is Stonebridge Country Club Community Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, Sunbiz document N47808, at 2100 Winding Oaks Way, Naples, FL 34109, the clubhouse (Florida Division of Corporations). No separate club corporation exists on the state record. The club calls itself a Common Interest Realty Association, “both a country club and a homeowner’s association (HOA)” (Cost of Ownership page).

The association was incorporated on March 10, 1992 as Southampton Golf and Country Club Community Association, renamed Stonebridge Country Club Community Association in November 1994, and restated its articles in March 1995 (Restated Articles). The club dates the Stonebridge name to February 1995, when the state accepted a further amendment.

Membership is bundled and non-equity: the club says no equity or deposit is required, and every owner is a member (membership page).

Who owns the golf course and clubhouse

Stonebridge’s owners own their club. The same nonprofit association that bills your dues holds title to the golf course and clubhouse, and a nine-member board of owners runs it with a professional staff.

The golf course and clubhouse belong to the owners’ association: the county roll lists the association as owner of record, and the 1996 Fourth Supplemental Declaration required the developer to deed the club facilities to it before turnover (Supplemental Declarations compilation). The member-era Declaration defines the Club Facilities as “Tract C and all tracts labeled ‘GC’” on the Southampton Unit One plat and lets the Board “permit non-residents to use the Common Area, including the Club Facilities,” the authority behind the non-resident memberships.

The board, the staff and the 2001 turnover

Owners took control from Taylor Woodrow at a turnover meeting on November 1, 2001 (turnover minutes). The Bylaws set nine directors, three elected each year for staggered three-year terms; an annual meeting on the first Tuesday after January 15; a fiscal year of October 1 to September 30; a 30 percent quorum; and one vote per unit.

The club is self-managed by its own staff: General Manager and Chief Operating Officer Tim Jones, Assistant General Manager Joe Foster, Chief Financial Officer Dawna Pabon and Membership and Communications Director Mary Fehskens (staff directory). Other than the Architectural Review Committee, Board committees are advisory.

The votes owners control

Sources: Declaration and Board Policy Manual. The Board keeps separate budgets for the Club Facilities and the rest of the Common Area, a Resale Reserve of at least $25,000 and a Risk Mitigation Fund for uninsured losses such as hurricane damage. Late payments carry the greater of $25 or 5 percent, assessments are a continuing lien, and a buyer is jointly and severally liable with the seller for unpaid assessments, which is why the estoppel certificate matters.

Neighborhood committees and the six condominium associations

The master association is governed under Chapter 720, Florida Statutes; the six condominiums are also governed by Chapter 718, each with its own corporation, board, budget and reserves. The four single-family neighborhoods have no corporation: each elects an advisory committee of three to five owners that submits a neighborhood budget, and the master association bills the neighborhood fee. The 2001 turnover minutes say the committees “carry no power” over residents.

The recorded instrument chain in plain English

Every instrument below can be pulled by book and page in the Collier Clerk’s COR Access search. The club’s own history says development began in March 1989 under Weiner Homes Corporation. The public record starts with a 1988 county zoning ordinance for “Southampton at Naples” and a developer, Southampton Development Corporation, that filed with the state in December 1989.

The club’s live Governing Documents page now posts only a statutes excerpt, the 1995 Articles and the 2020 supplements compilation; ask for current versions in the resale package.

Leasing, age and the rules that apply to every home

• Leasing: whole unit only, minimum 30 days, no more than 4 leases a calendar year, no subleasing without Board approval (Declaration). Five condominiums bar pets in leased units, and Carrington’s owner gives up club rights during a lease.
• Age: Stonebridge is not age-restricted.
• No CDD: documented from four records in the fee stack below.

The Fee Stack: Every Dollar a Stonebridge Country Club Owner Is Billed

For fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027), every Stonebridge Country Club residence pays $17,600 a year in club-level charges, billed quarterly at $4,400. On top of that sits a neighborhood or condominium fee of $2,412 to $7,800 a year. An outside buyer also pays $18,399 to the association at closing. There is no CDD.

Layer 1: the club-level charges, FY2027

Sources: FY2027 schedule, dated September 2, 2026 and the Cost of Ownership page.

The two master lines carry swapped labels. The club’s two FY2027 documents label these two lines oppositely: the fee schedule PDF lists the Master Base Assessment at $2,667 and Capital Reserves at $2,869, while the Cost of Ownership web page lists Capital Reserves at $2,667 and Master Association Fees at $2,869. Together they are $5,536 either way. The Board’s FY2027 dues resolution, which would settle it, is not published.

FY2026 (prior year): $16,680 in club-level charges, including $8,732 in country club dues, as the club published it before the FY2027 schedule replaced it. FY2027 is $920 higher, 5.5 percent (our arithmetic), the smallest increase since FY2020, and adds a new $100 Strategic Reserves line.

Club-level dues history, FY2019 to FY2027

Sources: archived club pages for FY2019, FY2020, FY2021 and FY2022; FY2023 to FY2025 from the FY2025 schedule and budget memo; FY2026 and FY2027 as above. Changes are our arithmetic. FY2019 and FY2020 totals are the sum of the club’s published line items; FY2024 is the club’s stated total (its line items sum to $12,991). (a) FY2026 master-association split as published on the club’s Cost of Ownership page in August and September 2026; the FY2026 fee PDFs are now members-only. (b) The FY2027 documents swap the labels on these two amounts.

From FY2019 to FY2027, club dues rose 92 percent and the total 101 percent. The club’s FY2025 memo explained that year’s jump: capital reserves up $795 for a golf equipment lease and a new reserve study, the F&B charge raised because it “pays for a majority of the service team’s wages,” and property and health insurance up $66,000 and $65,000. Management offered $213,383 of cuts, including not staffing the Airport gate, and the Board kept every service. Non-resident members contributed “$520K or $651 per door.”

The renovation fee and the F&B charge

The $1,920 Clubhouse Renovation Fee repays the loan for the new Bistro and resort-style pool and the complete golf course renovation; the club says the loan will be paid off in February 2035. Club + Resort Business reported in May 2024 that the roughly $8 million pool and Bistro project was part of a two-phase, $16 million renovation that included the redesigned golf course (Club + Resort Business). From FY2019 through FY2022 an $885.48 fee repaid the 2014 clubhouse renovation loan, which matured in February 2023. The current loan’s lender, principal, rate and balance are not published.

Stonebridge has no food-and-beverage minimum. Instead every residence pays a $950 annual F&B service charge (FY2027) in lieu of a per-meal gratuity (2019 annual meeting presentation).

Layer 2: the neighborhood and condominium fees

Sources: FY2027 schedule and the April 2025 schedule. Condominium association fees (calendar 2026, billed quarterly by each association’s manager): Ashton Oaks $7,800; Braeburn $7,552; Carrington $6,024; Heatherwood $5,300 (plus $200 a year for garage owners); Middleburg $7,080; Willow Bend $7,500. The FY2026 single-family neighborhood fees are not published: the club’s FY2026 schedule is members-only.

Each condominium’s reserves, building insurance, hurricane deductible and any pending special assessment are not published; they arrive in the resale disclosure package and estoppel certificate, which a buyer should read before the inspection period ends. Willow Bend and Heatherwood share floor plans, yet Willow Bend’s fee is $2,200 a year higher, and no public document says why.

What a year really costs

Our arithmetic; add property tax, insurance and usage (a member’s 18 holes with cart is $35 in FY2027). The cheapest homes to buy carry the highest association bills.

One-time charges at purchase

An outside buyer pays a one-time, non-refundable New Owner Capital Contribution of $17,500 to the association at closing (FY2027 schedule). The association’s estoppel fee is $299 for FY2027 (it was $250 from FY2021 through FY2025). Membership transfer fee: $600 (FY2027), up from $450 in FY2019 to FY2022 and $550 in FY2025.

The club’s FY2027 fee schedule lists the existing-owner (internal) capital contribution as $0. Its Cost of Ownership page words the rule this way: current residents “do not pay a resale if they are a single home owner and purchase within one year of the sale of their previous home.” Buyers moving within Stonebridge should confirm eligibility with the association’s Controller before contract.

Condominium lease packages include a membership-transfer payment to the club (the forms posted on the club site, dated 2019 and 2020, show $450); confirm the current amount with the association.

How the capital contribution went from about $6,197 to $17,500

Until April 2025 the contribution followed a formula in the Declaration, half of that year’s club dues and base assessment, which came to about $6,197 for an outside buyer in FY2025. The club announced a change effective April 25, 2025 (capped at $17,768), published $15,000 in May 2025, and lists $17,500 for FY2027. We have not located the recorded amendment to the Declaration that made the change.

Sources: the archived club schedules cited above, the April 2025 update and the May 2025 page. The club’s FY2020 page quoted $4,731.74, which bundled the $450 transfer fee and $250 estoppel with the $4,031.74 contribution. The Declaration formula was “fifty percent (50%) of the total Annual Club Dues and Base Assessment,” with a 10 percent discount for an existing owner (Declaration, Art. XI, s. 9). The change is in club documents; the recorded amendment is not yet read.

No CDD, no special district, no master special assessment

Stonebridge has no community development district and no special-district or MSTU assessment; every one of its roll parcels carries $0 in non-ad-valorem assessments on the 2026 preliminary roll. The club has said “Stonebridge does not have a CDD” every year from FY2019 to FY2027, and the state’s special district list has none. No master-association special assessment appears in the club’s published schedules from FY2019 through FY2027; the 2023 renovations were financed with a loan repaid through the renovation fee line. Condominium buyers should still ask their association about pending special assessments.

The Ten Neighborhoods of Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club has 799 residences in ten neighborhoods: four fee-simple neighborhoods holding 251 homes (Hawthorne Estates, Thornbrooke, Shoreham and Manchester) and six condominiums holding 548 units (Ashton Oaks, Braeburn, Carrington, Heatherwood, Middleburg and Willow Bend). Every residence was built between 1995 and 2002, and every one is a resale.

799 residences: the reconciliation

Sources: recorded declarations (COR Access) and the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll. Lot numbers run 1 to 251 across five plats that do not match the neighborhoods, so every figure here is by neighborhood.

The ten side by side

Sources: Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll and Collier County recorded deeds; fees from the club’s FY2027 schedule (condominiums calendar 2026). Base area is the county’s measure of the residence building, not listing living area. Bedroom and bathroom counts are not on the county roll, so this page does not state them.

In the latest twelve months (August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026) Collier County recorded deeds show 35 qualified sales of 93 recorded deeds, from $365,000 to $2,001,000. The 14 fee-simple sales have a median of $985,000, the mean of the middle pair, which were both $985,000; the 21 condominium sales have a median of $437,500. With four or fewer sales we list prices rather than a median. Price per square foot is deed price divided by the county’s base area, not comparable with listing living area. Every address we checked is zoned for Pelican Marsh Elementary, Pine Ridge Middle and Aubrey Rogers High (zone lookup).

On the Southwest Florida MLS, closings September 25, 2025 to September 24, 2026, pulled September 24, 2026, Braeburn sold fastest, with its four closings taking 0 to 14 days on market, and Hawthorne Estates’ single closing took 6 days. Willow Bend was the widest spread, from 5 days to 190 days across six closings, and Carrington’s nine closings ran 23 to 112 days. Shoreham had no MLS closing in the window.

Stonebridge’s six condominiums appear to be two-story buildings: unit numbers run 101 to 104 and 201 to 204, and the county roll shows a consistent lower-floor and upper-floor size pattern in every building. Florida’s milestone inspection law and structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) requirement apply to condominium buildings three or more stories tall, and Collier County’s milestone inspection registry lists no Stonebridge buildings. We have not yet confirmed story counts from the recorded condominium plans, so treat this as our reading of the records, not a certification.

Hawthorne Estates: 78 pool homes on the original estate lots

Hawthorne Estates is 78 detached homes created by the First Supplemental Declaration (effective April 3, 1995, recorded May 23, 1995, OR 2061/1154) from Southampton Unit One lots 1 to 46 (Plat Book 19, Pages 92 to 103), plus Stonebridge Unit Two lots 47 to 56 and 82 to 93 (Second Supplement, OR 2101/152) and Unit Three lots 94 to 99 and 163 to 166 (Third Supplement, OR 2137/640): 46, 22 and 10 homes (compilation).

Flood. Parts of Hawthorne Estates near the lakes, including street points on Springberry Circle and Wexford Court, map in FEMA Zone AE; buyers should get the elevation certificate and a flood determination for the specific home. Our street points at 1900 and 1932 Springberry Circle and 1955 Wexford Court returned Zone AE on the FEMA flood map, with street ground at 6.0 to 8.2 feet NAVD88 against nearby base flood elevations of about 9.0 feet, and the only storm surge Category 1 pocket we found. Essex Circle and the Winding Oaks Way homes were not tested.

Shoreham: 32 attached duplex villas on Leamington Lane

Shoreham is 32 attached duplex villas on Leamington Lane, fee-simple homes whose roofs, exterior paint and property and flood insurance the association handles under a 2016 recorded amendment. The Third Supplemental Declaration (OR 2137/640) created it from Unit Three lots 100 to 131, and the 2016 Certificate of Amendment (OR 5289/771) calls it “a single family Neighborhood of 32 attached duplex villas.” Under that amendment walls are shared, the association cleans and paints exteriors and replaces all roofs together from Shoreham reserves, it insures the buildings including windstorm and flood as available, and owners insure contents and interiors. It works like a condominium but is fee-simple under Chapter 720.

The homes. Built 1996 to 2000. Base area 1,612 to 1,760 square feet, median 1,630; adjusted area median 2,010, suggesting two or three plans (our inference).

Manchester: 34 homes on Manchester Court, the largest in the club

Manchester is the 34 homes on Manchester Court (Stonebridge Unit Five, lots 218 to 251), created by a 1998 supplemental declaration. We place it by elimination: the recorded declarations assign every other single-family lot, 1 through 217, to Hawthorne Estates, Thornbrooke or Shoreham. The Sixth Supplemental Declaration (effective November 13, 1998, OR 2488/3431) created the neighborhood; the Unit Five plat is Plat Book 30, Pages 76 to 77, recorded September 28, 1998.

The homes. Built 2000 to 2002, the last homes in Stonebridge. Base area 2,455 to 3,819 square feet, median 2,909; adjusted area median 3,470, the largest in the club, with nearly every floor area unique (semi-custom plans, our inference). Lots 0.22 to 0.46 acre, median 0.24. From the roll: all 34 have a private pool, 26 a spa and 33 a screen enclosure. Concrete tile roofs are required. Fee: $2,916 (FY2027).

Carrington is the largest neighborhood and the price floor: 136 condominiums declared May 6, 1996 (OR 2179/587), with its last building completed of record January 24, 2002, the last residence finished in Stonebridge. Carrington at Stonebridge Condominium Association, Inc.; fee $6,024 (calendar 2026). Its lease form bars pets in leased units and has the owner give up club rights during a lease.

Twelve buildings on Carrington Court (2280 to 2350, 96 units) use 1,183 and 1,213 square-foot plans; five on Harmony Lane (2365 to 2405, 40 units) use 1,433 and 1,592. No private pools.

Inside the Club Every Stonebridge Country Club Owner Already Belongs To

Stonebridge Country Club is owned by its homeowners through one nonprofit association, and every owner of its 799 residences is automatically a member. Membership is bundled, mandatory and non-equity, with no deposit and no equity certificate. For fiscal 2027 each residence pays $17,600 in club-level charges, per the club’s FY2027 fee schedule dated September 2, 2026.

One association owns the club and runs the community

There is no separate club company: Stonebridge Country Club Community Association, Inc. is both the club and the master homeowners association, holds title to the golf course and clubhouse (per the club’s recorded Supplemental Declarations compilation, June 2020), and is run by an owner board and professional staff. The governance section of this page covers the board.

Bundled, mandatory and non-equity: the club’s own words

“When you purchase a home in Stonebridge, you are automatically a member,” says the club’s membership page, which adds that “there are no equity or deposits required to become a member” and that “the value of the home includes the value of the club membership.” Owners “can be involved in the community and its amenities as much or as little as they desire,” but every owner pays the same club-level charges whether they play five rounds a week or none.

Non-equity means no refundable stake on the way in or out; an outside buyer’s one-time $17,500 capital contribution, per the FY2027 schedule, is covered in the fee section.

The clubhouse: opened in 1996, rebuilt in 2014

Taylor Woodrow opened the clubhouse in January 1996, according to the club’s history page. It was renovated and expanded in a 33,000-square-foot project completed in September 2014, which delivered a grill room, dining room, terrace, private dining room, lakeside bistro, multipurpose room, golf shop, locker rooms, offices and fitness center, as reported by the contractor, Brooks and Freund. The club separately confirms that its fitness center “was expanded and redesigned during the Clubhouse renovation in 2014,” per its Stay Active page.

The payoff showed up in the dining numbers within months. Typical January food and beverage revenue rose from an average of $116,000 in January 2010 to 2013 to $188,000 in January 2015, “a 62% increase,” and October to January sales rose 72.5 percent, per the general manager’s February 2015 report.

The 2023 to 2024 program: golf, Bistro and pool

The new Bistro and pool were open by spring 2024: a trade publication reported in May 2024 that they opened that March. The club describes the Bistro, pool and golf course work together as its 2023 renovation program, per its Cost of Ownership page.

On cost, Club + Resort Business reported on May 28, 2024 that the roughly $8 million pool and Bistro project was part of a two-phase, $16 million renovation that included the redesigned golf course. The general manager and assistant general manager later walked through the work on the “Renovation War Stories” podcast (October 6, 2025).

Owners repay it through the $1,920 Clubhouse Renovation Fee, which the club says ends in February 2035, per its Cost of Ownership page; the fee section has the detail.

Non-resident members keep the club busy off-season

The Declaration lets the Board “permit non-residents to use the Common Area, including the Club Facilities, on terms and conditions determined solely by the Board,” per the Amended and Restated Declaration. The FY2027 schedule offers four categories:

These members matter to owners’ bills. The club’s FY2025 budget memo credits non-resident memberships with “$520K or $651 per door” in FY2025 and says owners would pay about 5 percent more without them. The club does not publish caps or waitlists for these categories.

Who runs Stonebridge Country Club day to day

The association is self-managed by club staff, not an outside management company. The club staff directory, as we read it in September 2026, is led by General Manager/COO Tim Jones, CCM, CCE, CAM, Assistant GM Joe Foster and CFO Dawna Pabon, with department heads named in the golf, tennis, fitness and dining sections below.

Continuity is unusual. Tim Jones has been at Stonebridge since 1998, when the developer hired him to run dining, and has been GM/COO since 2013, per his club bio. Erik Peterson has been head professional since 1996, per his bio, and the Director of Grounds wrote of “my 15 years of service here” in April 2026 on his course blog.

Blue Zones, peer benchmarking and the awards question

Stonebridge achieved Blue Zones recognition in 2018, with “200+ member participation in weeks!”, per the club’s February 27, 2019 annual meeting presentation, and Blue Zones is still a category on the club calendar. The same deck reported peer benchmarking: realtors cited a “Superior fitness center and program,” buyers said “Fitness centers are getting lots of attention with buyers,” and the pool area was then “worn; remote from food,” which is the problem the 2024 Bistro and pool solved.

We looked for club awards (BoardRoom, Platinum Clubs of America, Golf Inc.) and found none for Stonebridge Country Club in Naples, so this page claims none.

The Golf Course at Stonebridge Country Club: Par 71, Six Tees, Rebuilt in 2023

Stonebridge Country Club plays an 18-hole, par 71 course that runs from 6,414 yards on its back tee to 4,068 yards on the forward tee across six rated tee sets, with a 71.6 rating and 136 slope, per the club’s course tour and scorecard. Gene Bates laid it out in 1992; Kipp Schulties redesigned it in 2023.

Water comes into play on 15 of the 18 holes, per the club’s golf page.

Every tee set: yardage, rating and slope

The club’s current card, read hole by hole, reconciles to these totals for every tee. Tees are named by Roman numeral; the club does not publish tee colors.

Source: Stonebridge Country Club course tour. The ratings are the club’s published figures; we have not yet confirmed them in the USGA’s course rating database. Some golf directories still carry older yardage and ratings for this course; the club’s card and the architect’s own project page, which lists par 71 and 6,414 yards, agree, so we use them.

Our reading of the card: the 2,346-yard spread from Tee I to Tee VI is unusually wide for a par 71, and among the North Naples clubs we compared, Stonebridge has the shortest back-tee course and one of the shortest published forward tees. Put simply, this is a course that plays as short as 4,068 yards for mixed-ability couples and as long as 6,414 for low handicappers.

Hole by hole

Source: club course tour. The par 3s are 5, 8, 11 and 17; the par 5s are 3, 15 and 18.

What the card and the club tell a golfer

• No. 4 is the men’s hardest hole, a 378-yard par 4 ranked No. 1 on the men’s handicap line.
• No. 16 is the No. 2 handicap for both men and women, a 420-yard par 4.
• No. 12 is the longest par 4, at 442 yards.
• No. 15 is the longest hole, a 529-yard par 5 with a large water hazard and new tees from 2023; the club notes “larger hazards on both 15 and 18.”
• No. 11 is the shortest hole, 177 yards from Tee I and 97 from Tee VI.
• No. 18 finishes at the clubhouse, a 486-yard par 5 that plays beneath the Bistro and Veranda. The club links a live 18th-hole webcam from its golf page, and the 2023 work replaced the bulkhead there with a rock wall and widened the approach, per the Director of Grounds’ course blog.

From Southampton to Stonebridge: the Gene Bates original

The course opened in February 1992 as the Southampton golf course, two years before Taylor Woodrow bought the community. Gene Bates, formerly of the Jack Nicklaus design group and later a partner in Couples/Bates Golf Design, laid out the original course, per the club’s history page and the course history in Appendix A of its Golf Rules and Regulations (October 9, 2019). It was open to the public then, run from a temporary mobile-home golf shop, and Mike Moser, hired in 1992 as head professional, later became the first Stonebridge general manager.

The course opened in 1992 as a par 72; hole 6 was converted from a par 5 to a par 4 during the 1990s buildout, making it today’s par 71. Bates returned for a touch-up approved in March 2003 and finished that summer, aimed at “making the golf course fairer, more playable, and easier to maintain,” per the same Appendix A.

Gordon Lewis, 2010, and the 2013 tee work

Gordon Lewis led a “multi-million-dollar” master-plan renovation in 2010, per Appendix A of the 2019 Golf Rules: a new irrigation system with HDPE pipe, pumps, controllers and heads over a reduced irrigated area; every green rebuilt to USGA specifications and grassed with TifEagle; tees, fairways and roughs grassed with Celebration bermudagrass; a practice green replaced and tripled in size; and native-grass natural areas added. In 2013 the club poured concrete cart paths, removed some coquina paths, extended fairways, built new tees, and rerated and renamed the tees.

The 2023 Kipp Schulties redesign

Construction on the Kipp Schulties renovation began April 3, 2023, according to the club’s Director of Grounds in his “Day 1 of Renovation” post, and the club streamed its renovation reveal on November 29, 2023. The club says the redesign was completed in 2023; it has not published the date members resumed play. Its homepage says Schulties “combined classic design with pizzaz to create a beautifully landscaped par 71 course,” per stonebridgecountryclub.com.

The groundwork was laid earlier. A 2021 turf trial split hole 2 between TifTuf and Bimini bermudagrass, and in 2022 the superintendent reported that “The Bimini bermuda grass far exceeded the performance of the TifTuff,” per his June 30, 2022 post. The reported 2023 scope, per Gulfshore Business (May 16, 2024) and the grounds blog:

• New Bimini bermudagrass tees, fairways and roughs.
• Wooden bulkheads removed on 17, 18 and along Ashton Oaks, with rock walls built on 18, 11 and 3 to widen landing areas.
• Tee boxes, greens and ponds repositioned for wider fairways; new tees on 15; lake construction on 17; “Big Changes on #8” by September.
• Greens drainage and mix work, new irrigation control boxes, a new short-game practice area and an enlarged driving-range tee (July 21).
• Fairways and tees sprigged from July 27 and greens grassed from August 3.

The new greens are bermudagrass, which the superintendent calls “our new ‘Potato Chip’ greens … high ridges and low valleys,” per his November 9, 2024 post; the club has not published the cultivar. On cost, Club + Resort Business reported in May 2024 that the roughly $8 million pool and Bistro project was part of a two-phase, $16 million renovation that included the redesigned golf course, per its report. No golf-only cost has been published.

Since the renovation: lakes, buffers and agronomy

The grounds team has kept investing. Aeration now runs in all the lakes (about half had it before), with four solar compressors in place by February 2026; perimeter buffer plantings have gone in; and an agronomy consultant was retained in late 2025, per the Director of Grounds’ blog. Summer maintenance still closes the course for stretches: in 2026 it reopened June 6 after a late-May closure for cultural practices.

Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary and wildlife

The course was fully certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in 2005, as reported by The Florida Green in its Winter 2006 issue, and the club still describes it as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary on its lifestyle page, where it advertises seasonal early-morning Audubon tours led by Brian Beckner of Native Bird Boxes. Florida Golf Magazine’s Winter 2010 list of Audubon-certified Florida courses also includes Stonebridge. The current recertification year is not published.

Gopher tortoise preserves are a local-rule area on the course. The rules are clear on wildlife: never approach alligators or snakes, never feed wildlife, and no swimming in the lakes, although the Board may permit shore fishing by owners and accompanied guests, per the 2019 Golf Rules.

Tee times, carts, guests and dress

These come from the club’s 2019 golf rules, the most recent full rulebook posted publicly, so confirm current practice with the golf shop:

• Tee times through the club’s reservation system; cancel 24 hours ahead. A golf administration software fee of $40 a year appears on the FY2027 schedule.
• Pace of play: 4 hours for 18 holes, 2 hours for 9.
• Carts are mandatory January to April except at designated walking times; only club-owned or leased carts; two riders per cart; drivers 16 or older with a license; paths only on par 3s.
• Guests: January to March, no guest tee time before noon unless the sheet has vacancies after it posts; day guests play with a member.
• Dress: collared shirts tucked in, no denim, cargo or athletic shorts, soft spikes.
• Handicaps through USGA/GHIN, audited by the handicap committee.

What a round costs in FY2027

Members pay no green fee, only a cart or walking fee per round. Selected rates from the club’s FY2027 schedule (the schedule adds 6 percent sales tax on some lines):

Leagues, majors and instruction

The 2019 rules list the Stonebridge Women’s Golf Association (18 holes) and the SLGA Niners (9 holes), Tuesday Women’s Day, a Men’s Interclub Team, women’s interclub play, couples leagues and Fun Days, and a Hole-in-One Club. Owner-only majors include the Club Championships, President’s Cup, Partner/Partner, Member/Member, Men’s Invitational, Women’s Member Guest and the “Stone-Bridge Tournament”; tenants may play the Men’s Invitational or Women’s Member Guest only as guests. Major guest events fall in late October and early November, including a “Niner’s Invitational,” per the grounds blog.

Instruction comes from four PGA professionals offering clinics and private lessons, with “TPI & K-vest capabilities,” per the golf page. One moment from the archive: LPGA legend Nancy Lopez held a clinic at Stonebridge on November 8, 2016, per a Naples Daily News photo gallery.

Practice facilities

The club’s 2019 golf rules describe a 230-yard driving range; the range tee was enlarged in the 2023 renovation. The putting green was tripled in the 2010 work, and 2023 added a new chipping and short-game area.

Who can play, and how busy the sheet gets

Stonebridge is private. Play is for members and their families, guests, tenants under the rules, and the non-resident members the Board admits. Summer members get reciprocal golf at other clubs, per the club’s golf page, and the fee schedule carries a reciprocal-member rate for visitors. In June 2019, the off-season, the course averaged about 70 rounds a day, per the August 2019 general manager’s report; in-season demand is heavier, which is why the January to March guest rule exists.

To see how Stonebridge’s course, fees and structure line up against the rest of the market, read our Naples golf communities guide.

Is There a Marina or Boating at Stonebridge Country Club?

Stonebridge Country Club has no marina, no boat slips, no docks and no boat storage. Its lakes are golf-course and stormwater lakes that the Declaration makes “aesthetic amenities only,” with no swimming. Boats and boat trailers must be kept inside enclosed garages. The nearest boating access we can document is Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park.

What the documents say about the lakes and boats

No marina or boat program appears on any club amenity, lifestyle, membership or real estate page, nor on any fee schedule from FY2021 through FY2027. The member-era Amended and Restated Declaration makes all lakes “aesthetic amenities only” with no swimming, and requires boats and boat trailers to be kept inside enclosed garages. We infer from those documents and the lake layout that there is no navigable water access. A boat that does not fit in the garage has to live somewhere else.

Where Stonebridge boaters go

Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park lists boating, fishing and paddling among its activities and is about 3.8 miles from the clubhouse, roughly 9 minutes off-peak by our routing estimate. We have not yet researched the nearest public boat ramps, marina operators or slip rates for this page, so we do not name them; if a boat is central to your plans, Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will map the drive to the water you actually use.

How Far Is the Beach From Stonebridge Country Club?

Stonebridge Country Club in Naples sits about three miles, straight line, from the Gulf beaches, and the club advertises itself as “just three miles from the beautiful Gulf beaches.” Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park is about 3.8 road miles and 9 minutes off-peak; Vanderbilt Beach Park is about 5.2 miles and 11 minutes. There is no beach club or shuttle.

Straight line versus the drive

The club’s homepage uses the three-mile figure. Our own measurement puts the clubhouse about 3.0 miles, straight line, from the Gulf shoreline at Vanderbilt Beach, and the community’s homes range from about 2.3 miles (the west edge) to 3.4 miles (Carrington). Roads add distance. Drive times below are our off-peak routing estimates from the clubhouse using OpenStreetMap road data, so add time in season.

One dated note: the state park’s page carried an April 18, 2025 notice of temporary restrooms and no drinking water, so check the park page before a long beach day.

The beach parking permit every new owner should get

Collier County residents qualify for a free beach parking permit on proof of residency, per the county’s beach parking page. Permits are issued at Veterans Community Park, Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., per that page. Veterans Community Park is about 1.7 miles from Stonebridge by car, so it is a short errand in your first week as a Collier resident.

Tennis and the Pickleball Question at Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club has five Har-Tru clay tennis courts, open 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, with a Director of Tennis running clinics, round robins and interclub teams. No pickleball appears in the club’s published schedules. Collier County’s Veterans Community Park, about 1.7 miles away, has 14 pickleball courts.

Five Har-Tru courts and the program around them

The club’s lifestyle page lists five Har-Tru courts open 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. each day. The Stay Active page describes the program: weekly clinics at several levels, individual and small-group lessons, men’s and women’s round robins, Saturday mixed doubles, men’s and women’s interclub teams that play “throughout Collier County,” and monthly tennis exhibitions and socials with visiting local pros. The public calendar carries Tennis Men’s, Mixed Doubles, Women’s and Finals categories.

Demand is not new. The general manager reported in February 2015 that “Tennis courts remain to capacity at various times throughout the day,” per his February 2015 report.

The Director of Tennis

Kevin Swank has run tennis at Stonebridge since 2011, per his club bio. Before that he was Director of Tennis at The Strand and coached college tennis at Clemson, Alabama, Tulane and Ohio State; he played at Tennessee Tech and Cal State Bakersfield and qualified for the NCAA tournament.

What tennis costs in FY2027

Court time carries no line on the club’s FY2027 schedule; the charges it does list are a $10 tennis guest fee and a round robin fee of $2.50 for members and $6 for renters. An Annual Tennis non-resident membership was offered in FY2022 at $2,900, per the club’s FY2022 schedule; it does not appear on the FY2025 or FY2027 schedules.

Pickleball: none on site, 14 county courts nearby

No pickleball appears on any club page, fee schedule or calendar category, so we infer from that absence across every official document that Stonebridge has no pickleball courts. The nearest public courts we documented are at Collier County’s Veterans Community Park, 1895 Veterans Park Dr, which lists “8 Un-Lighted Pickleball Courts / 6 Lighted Pickleball Courts,” open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, about 1.7 miles and 6 minutes by car. The same park has two lighted tennis courts and four lighted racquetball courts.

Fitness, the Pool and Wellness at Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club has a fitness center expanded and redesigned in the 2014 clubhouse renovation and re-equipped by 2025, a daily class schedule run by a certified Director of Fitness, and a new zero-entry, resort-style pool with two lap lanes and a spa beside the Bistro. There is no treatment spa, salon or massage program on record.

The fitness center

“The state-of-the-art Fitness Center was expanded and redesigned during the Clubhouse renovation in 2014,” per the club’s Stay Active page, which lists “treadmills, elliptical equipment, bicycles, strengthening equipment and free weights” plus “mats for floor exercises and stretching.” The club announced upgraded equipment on April 3, 2025, per its announcement, and its membership page now calls it “a new workout facility.” The club does not publish the center’s size.

Classes, training and what they cost

Classes run “throughout the day in the Aerobics Room, including yoga, body sculpt, golf and tennis fitness, bone builders, stabilize and balance,” with water aerobics in the pool, per the Stay Active page. Classes cost $7 for members, $9 for renters and $11 for guests, per the FY2027 schedule.

Director of Fitness Jeff Zink has led the department since 2019; he is a NASM Certified Personal Trainer with TPI golf-fitness certification and CPR/AED/First Aid training, and personal training is available, per his club bio. The golf staff adds TPI and K-vest swing technology, per the club’s golf page, which links the gym to the range for golfers working on their game.

The resort-style pool

The new pool sits beside the Bistro. Club + Resort Business (May 28, 2024) describes a zero-entry pool of 2,341 square feet, “nearly double the previous pool,” with two lap lanes and a spa, relocated to make room for the Bistro, inside a fenced complex with a 300-person capacity; capacity for water aerobics classes tripled. The new Bistro and resort-style pool were open by spring 2024: a trade publication reported in May 2024 that they opened that March.

The general manager framed the goal in that report: “The transformation of this once-underutilized area was intended to expand our casual indoor/outdoor dining experience, with the pool being integrated into the design concept.” That answers the 2019 complaint that the old pool was “worn; remote from food.” Pool hours, heating and cabanas are not published; the pool rules sit in a separate “Tennis, Fitness, and Pool Rules and Regulations” document the club does not post publicly, per its 2019 Golf Rules.

Neighborhood pools

Beyond the club pool, the club’s Cost of Ownership page lists a pool among the items each condominium association’s fee pays for. On the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll, Middleburg’s recreation parcel is the only neighborhood pool site that shows up as its own parcel.

What “spa” means here

The only spa documented at Stonebridge is the spa in the new pool complex, a hot tub rather than a treatment spa. We found no massage, salon or spa-treatment program in any club document.

Dining at Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club runs four dining venues, The Lounge, The Dining Room, The Veranda and The Bistro, plus two private rooms. There is no food and beverage minimum. Instead every residence pays a $950 annual service charge (FY2027) in lieu of per-meal tips, per the club’s FY2027 fee schedule dated September 2, 2026.

The venues, in the club’s words

Sources: the club’s lifestyle page and event venues page; the Bistro complex capacity is from Club + Resort Business. The same trade report describes the Bistro’s collapsible glass walls, a large indoor-outdoor bar, zoned sound, about a dozen TVs and poolside food and beverage service.

In December 2021 the venues were named The Grill Room, The Dining Room, The Veranda and The Lakeside Bistro, per an archived lifestyle page; The Lounge has since replaced the Grill Room name, so older listings and reviews may use the earlier names.

A service charge, not a minimum

The club’s 2019 annual meeting presentation put it plainly: “Stonebridge uses an annual F&B service charge in lieu of a per meal gratuity. Stonebridge has no F&B minimum. Peer clubs indicated use a prepaid F&B minimum plus an individual meal gratuities (generally 15-20%).” The charge “pays for a majority of the service team’s wages,” per the FY2025 budget memo.

The charge has risen from $540 in FY2019 to $950 in FY2026 and FY2027 ($237.50 a quarter), per the club’s archived schedules and the FY2027 schedule.

Our reading for buyers: a household that rarely dines still pays the $950, but there is no minimum to “use up” by year-end and no tip line on the check. For a couple who eats at the club twice a week, that is a simpler bill than a minimum plus 15 to 20 percent gratuities.

What the Board chose to keep

The FY2025 budget shows where owners’ priorities sit. Management offered closing the Bistro for dinner on Monday nights from October to April, a $35,000 saving, and cutting Saturday entertainment from January to April, a $10,000 saving; the Board declined both, per the FY2025 budget memo. We read that as a membership that values a busy clubhouse over a smaller bill.

How busy the clubhouse gets

“A typical Friday includes over 500 covers with 300 of those covers occurring in the evening,” and in January 2015 the club served “over 300 members on average … everyday,” per the general manager’s February 2015 report. The 2018 to 2019 season brought a Grill Room and Saturday Pub Night relaunch, a nightly Bistro special, pizza every night in the Bistro, a healthy-choice menu designation and locally sourced food, per the 2019 annual meeting presentation.

The kitchen and the team

Executive Chef Liam Blake has run the kitchen for about ten years (“Executive Chef for the past 10 years”). He apprenticed at London’s Savoy Hotel under Anton Edelmann and cooked in kitchens including Blue Hill at Stone Barns, COI and Alinea, and he describes his menus as “seasonal, ingredient-driven,” per his club bio. Director of Food and Beverage Matt Moss is a Naples native, working with Assistant Director Javier Fernandez, Administrator Kristina Demian and Banquet Manager Shelley Justice, per the staff directory.

The club’s 2019 rules tell members to leave keys at Member Services and, “after hours, if there is no valet service, see the hostess,” which implies valet on some nights; the current valet schedule is not published.

What is not public

Menus, prices and venue hours are on the members-only portal, so we cannot publish them.

Clubs, Events and the Social Calendar at Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club runs a full social calendar: daytime bridge, mahjong and canasta, a monthly book club, a March author luncheon that sells out every year, happy hours, trivia and bingo nights, themed dinners, dinner dances and live music at the Bistro on Fridays. Members also volunteer with more than 50 local organizations.

Daytime: cards, books and the Author Luncheon

The club’s lifestyle page says “there’s always something happening,” with bridge, mahjong and canasta through the day; the club even posts its own canasta rules. The Book Club meets monthly for “engaging presentations and lively discussions.” The Author Luncheon, held every March, is “an annual sell-out event that supports local literacy programs.” In season, early-morning Audubon bird tours on the course are led by Brian Beckner of Native Bird Boxes.

Evenings: happy hours, trivia and dinner dances

The club’s social events page lists Happy Hour, themed dinners, Trivia and Bingo nights, and dinner dances and shows. Friday nights bring dancing to live music at the Bistro, and from January to April the Dining Room hosts Saturday special events with live entertainment, an evening the Board kept when management offered to cut it, per the FY2025 budget memo.

Enrichment and the calendar categories

The club’s public weekly calendar shows the range in its category list: Activities and Enrichment, Blue Zones, Board of Directors, Club Activities, Dining and Events, Fitness, General, Golf (Men’s, Mixed, Senior’s, Women’s), Golf Course Renovation, Neighborhoods, Pool, Tennis (Men’s, Mixed Doubles, Women’s) and Tennis Finals. The August 2019 general manager’s report noted a season class with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office on active-shooter preparedness, planned a monthly in-season “Golf News” alongside the member publication, “the Voice,” and set the club’s 25th anniversary celebration for January 25, 2020.

The “Heart of Stonebridge”: a volunteer culture

The club’s outreach page lists more than 50 organizations its members volunteer with, among them the Harry Chapin Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity, Literacy Volunteers of Collier County, Guadalupe Center, St. Matthew’s House, NCH, the Neighborhood Health Clinic, CERT, the Citizens Police Academy, Collier Harvest Foundation, Grace Place, Laces of Love, Toys for Tots, Team Rubicon, Wounded Warriors, Opera Naples, Gulfshore Opera, the USCG Auxiliary Flotilla, Naples Park Elementary, Blue Zones and Bone Builders.

Weddings and private events

The clubhouse hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, anniversaries, holiday parties, showers, bar and bat mitzvahs and corporate events, arranged through Banquet Manager Shelley Justice, per the club’s special events page. Rooms run from 20 guests in the Multipurpose Room to 240 in the Dining Room with The Lounge, per the event venues page.

How booking works

In the 2019 to 2020 season, social events opened for reservations 60 days ahead and fitness classes two weeks ahead, per the August 2019 general manager’s report. Current windows are posted on the members-only portal. If you are weighing Stonebridge for the social life as much as the golf, Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will walk you through a season on the calendar before you tour.

How Does Stonebridge Country Club Handle Hurricanes?

Stonebridge Country Club sits about three miles inland from the Gulf beaches, on ground roughly 6 to 10.6 feet above sea level, with every home built between 1995 and 2002. No surge flooding of Stonebridge is recorded in the federal storm reports for Ian, Helene or Milton, and the evacuation zone is Collier County’s call, address by address.

Three miles inland, on 6 to 10.6 feet of ground

Stonebridge is about 2.3 miles in a straight line from the Gulf at its west edge and about 3.4 miles at Carrington, east of US 41 and Airport-Pulling Road; the club itself describes the community as “just three miles from the beautiful Gulf beaches” on its homepage.

Ground elevation at the street points we tested runs from about 6.0 to 10.6 feet NAVD88, read from the USGS 3D Elevation Program 1-meter lidar acquired September 1, 2018. The lowest readings are in one Hawthorne Estates pocket: 6.0 to 8.2 feet on Springberry Circle and Wexford Court. Most other points read 9.4 to 10.6 feet.

Evacuation zones: check Collier County’s own lookup

Evacuation zones are set by Collier County. The state’s planning layer and a 2024 county order describe the area differently, so check your exact address in Collier County’s Know Your Zone lookup before relying on any zone letter. We are not publishing a zone letter for Stonebridge until the county’s own lookup has been run for a Stonebridge address.

For Hurricane Ian in 2022, Collier’s mandatory evacuation covered only Zone A, the immediate coast west and south of US 41, as WGCU reported. For Milton in 2024, the county issued a voluntary, precautionary evacuation for Zones A and B, as NBC reported.

The state’s surge model: Category 1 at the low pocket, Category 2 for most

The Florida Division of Emergency Management’s storm surge planning zones, built on the SLOSH model, return Category 2 at most of the points we tested (the clubhouse, Pondside Lane, Leamington Lane, Manchester Court, Carrington Court, Aberdeen Lane in Middleburg and 1940 Willow Bend Circle) and Category 1 at the Springberry Circle and Wexford Court pocket in Hawthorne Estates.

In the state’s surge planning model, a Category 1 storm on a worst-case track could push water into the lowest Springberry and Wexford pocket, and a Category 2 could reach most of Stonebridge’s ground. It is a planning model, not a forecast, and it is not a depth.

Built 1995 to 2002: after Andrew, before the Florida Building Code

Every Stonebridge residence was built between 1995 and 2002 (Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll). That places the whole community after Hurricane Andrew (1992), which reshaped South Florida construction, but before Florida’s first statewide building code took effect on March 1, 2002, per the Florida Housing overview of the Florida Building Code. Applying that date to Stonebridge’s build years is our reading; the permit file for each address is the record that settles it. For a buyer, original openings and roof attachment on a home this age cannot be assumed to meet today’s standards; a wind mitigation report shows what a given house has now.

Wind design today: between the 160 and 170 mph lines

Stonebridge lies between the 160 and 170 mph lines on the Florida Building Code’s Risk Category II wind map (ASCE 7-22, adopted in the 2023 code), per the statewide design wind speed contours. That puts it inside the wind-borne debris region, which the UF GeoPlan Collier wind figure defines as areas with an ultimate design wind speed of 140 mph or more. The practical result, which is our application of the published threshold: new or replacement glazed openings here need impact-rated products or approved shutters. A permit reviewer decides each job.

The club’s shutter rules, by view

The club’s Hurricane Shutter Standards decide which device may stay in storm-ready position during the season (May 1 to November 30), and they depend on which side of the house faces what. After the season, storm-ready devices must come down unless a storm threatens.

On a street elevation, then, impact glass or impact-rated panel, rolling, accordion or fabric shutters can satisfy both the club and an insurer; Bahama and colonial shutters cannot stay up facing the street.

What the club tells owners to do before a storm

The club’s hurricane preparedness guidance (version 6 and the earlier version 4) is practical and specific:

• Consider hurricane-rated windows or shutters and a gas or propane generator; prune trees; review insurance before the season.
• Make sure “you can raise at least one hurricane shutter without power.”
• Remove some pool-cage screen panels so wind can pass through.
• Summer leavers should “prepare as if a hurricane is due by the end of the week.”
• After a storm, a neighborhood-leader ribbon system signals each home’s status: white means in residence, red means immediate help needed, yellow means help needed, green means everyone is okay.

The club’s guide also notes that Irma “moved some fairly heavy objects” in the community, the only Stonebridge-specific damage note we found.

The storm record: Irma, Ian, Helene and Milton

Ian is the storm people ask about. The National Hurricane Center wrote that in “Bonita and North Naples, the most severe impacts were contained to the immediate coastline while inland high water marks ranged from 5 to 7 ft AGL.” No surge flooding of Stonebridge is recorded in the National Weather Service or National Hurricane Center storm reports for Ian (2022), Helene or Milton (2024). That describes the record, not any single home; the seller’s disclosure and claims history speak to a specific property.

Condominium buildings, milestone inspections and SIRS

Stonebridge’s six condominiums appear to be two-story buildings: unit numbers run 101 to 104 and 201 to 204, and the county roll shows a consistent lower-floor and upper-floor size pattern in every building. Florida’s milestone inspection law and structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) requirement apply to condominium buildings three or more stories tall, and Collier County’s milestone inspection registry lists no Stonebridge buildings. We have not yet confirmed story counts from the recorded condominium plans, so treat this as our reading of the records, not a certification.

Two stories does not mean no reserves: under s. 718.112(2)(f), a condominium generally must fund reserves for roofs, painting, paving and items over $10,000 unless owners vote to waive them (see the DBPR condominium FAQ). Above the condominiums, the master association keeps a Risk Mitigation Fund for uninsured losses such as hurricane damage, per its Board Policy Manual.

Flood Zones at Stonebridge Country Club: What the FEMA Map Says, Address by Address

Most of Stonebridge Country Club maps as FEMA shaded Zone X on the 2024 Collier flood maps. Lake-edge pockets on Springberry Circle and Wexford Court in Hawthorne Estates, and part of Willow Bend, map in Zone AE with a base flood elevation of about 9 feet. We tested street points, not buildings.

The elevation certificate and a lender’s flood determination govern any single home. Below: 21 addresses across all ten neighborhoods, run against the live federal map.

How we tested

The effective maps are FEMA flood map panels 12021C0193J and 12021C0194J, effective February 8, 2024 (FEMA panel index). On September 23, 2026 we geocoded each street address with the U.S. Census geocoder, queried that point against FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, read ground elevation at the same point from USGS 3DEP, and checked the state’s surge planning zone.

The 21-point table

Essex Circle in Hawthorne Estates could not be geocoded and was not tested; given its neighbors on Springberry and Wexford, it is the first street where we would ask for an elevation certificate.

Seventeen of 21 points are shaded Zone X; four are Zone AE; none is unshaded Zone X. Panel 0193J covers a western strip (Pondside Lane, Leamington Lane and 1813 Winding Oaks Way); panel 0194J covers the rest.

What shaded X and AE mean

Zone AE is the 1 percent annual chance (“100-year”) floodplain with a base flood elevation, the zone that triggers a federally backed lender’s flood requirement. Shaded Zone X is outside it but inside the 0.2 percent annual chance (“500-year”) area, here a combined riverine and coastal zone: not a Special Flood Hazard Area, and not minimal hazard either. “Zone X” without the word shaded rounds off the part that matters.

Base flood elevations and the lake system

The FEMA base flood elevation lines nearest the AE points read about 9.0 feet NAVD88: a line roughly 0.3 kilometers southwest of the Springberry and Wexford points, and one about 0.2 kilometers north of 1940 Willow Bend Circle. Near the southeast lakes by Heatherwood, Ashton Oaks and Braeburn the lines read 9.5 feet. Applying those lines to specific homes is our inference.

By our reading of the geometry, the AE polygon follows the golf-course lake system; homes and condominium pads mostly sit on slightly higher fill mapped as shaded X, except where the AE edge meets the street at Springberry, Wexford and part of Willow Bend. The three Hawthorne Estates AE points read 6.0 to 8.2 feet of street grade against a nearby 9-foot base flood elevation. Pads usually sit above the street, which is why the elevation certificate decides the rating on a house.

Letters of map change, and no map revision

Between 1998 and 2008, the developer and owners obtained FEMA letters of map change for specific Stonebridge tracts, buildings and lots, and FEMA revalidated that list with the 2024 maps in revalidation letter 18-04-0009V. No map revision (LOMR) applies to the community, per the NFHL LOMR layer. In an AE pocket, ask whether the building is on that list.

County rules that bite in AE pockets

Collier County’s March 2026 Floodplain Protection Newsletter sets out two rules that matter for any home in Zone AE:

• Machinery height: new or replaced air conditioners, generators and similar equipment must be elevated to the base flood elevation plus 1 foot.
• The 50 percent rule: if improvement or repair costs on a structure in Zone AE reach 50 percent of the building’s pre-work market value, the whole structure must be brought into compliance with current flood rules.

The free first step: the county flood hotline

The same newsletter lists Collier’s Flood Info Hotline, (239) 252-2942, and [email protected]. County staff “can provide a flood determination for your property” and will check whether the county holds an elevation certificate on file. For an AE buyer, that free request belongs in the first week of the inspection period.

What Does Insurance Look Like at Stonebridge Country Club?

Stonebridge Country Club owners insure in three different ways: single-family owners carry their own homeowners and flood policies, Shoreham’s villa association insures its buildings, and each condominium association insures its structures while unit owners carry an HO-6. Wind mitigation credits, Citizens’ flood rule and the AE pockets drive the numbers.

We have not collected premium quotes and publish no premium figures; below are the rules that decide who buys which policy.

Flood insurance: NFIP, a Class 5 county and the lender rule

Collier County has participated in the National Flood Insurance Program since October 1992 and holds a Class 5 Community Rating System rating, which gives eligible NFIP policies a 25 percent discount, per the county’s 2026 Floodplain Protection Newsletter. There is typically a 30-day waiting period before a new NFIP policy takes effect, so flood coverage cannot be bought the week a storm appears.

A lender’s mandatory purchase requirement applies in the Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone AE) when the mortgage is federally backed. At Stonebridge that means the AE pockets on Springberry Circle, Wexford Court and at 1940 Willow Bend Circle may trigger a lender requirement; shaded-X homes generally do not. Since April 1, 2023, NFIP pricing under Risk Rating 2.0 uses more variables than the zone letter while keeping community discounts.

Citizens and flood: the 2027 deadline

Citizens Property Insurance now requires its personal residential policyholders with wind coverage to carry flood insurance, phased in by dwelling value, per Citizens’ flood requirement page:

Citizens also states: “Condominium unit-owner policies, tenant content policies, and policies that exclude windstorm or hail coverage are not required to purchase flood insurance coverage.” Our reading for Stonebridge: a single-family or villa owner insured through Citizens needs flood coverage by January 1, 2027 at the latest, whatever the zone, while a Citizens HO-6 condominium owner is exempt.

Single-family homes: where the wind mitigation credits are

Single-family owners in Hawthorne Estates, Thornbrooke and Manchester carry their own homeowners policy with wind, plus separate flood. Wind credits come from the state’s Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form (OIR-B1-1802), valid up to five years absent material changes. Our reading of it for a 1995 to 2002 house:

• Building code (question 1) answers “not FBC”, so credits come from the items below.
• Roof covering (question 2): a roof permitted on or after March 1, 2002, which here usually means a documented re-roof.
• Roof-deck attachment and roof-to-wall connections, verified in the attic.
• Roof shape: a hip roof is the largest single credit.
• Secondary water resistance, normally added only at re-roof.
• Opening protection (question 7): an “A” needs large-missile impact protection on all glazed openings and garage doors (ANSI/DASMA 115).

Concrete tile roofs are required in Hawthorne Estates, Thornbrooke and Manchester under their supplemental declarations, so the roof question is age and permit date, not material.

My Safe Florida Home: who here may qualify

Florida’s My Safe Florida Home program, under s. 215.5586, offers a free wind inspection and matching grants for hardening: the state matches $2 for every $1 an owner spends, up to $10,000. Eligibility requires a homestead exemption, a home built before January 1, 2008, an insured value of $700,000 or less, and a program inspection within the prior 24 months. Detached homes and attached homes of three stories or less on their own parcel qualify under the statute. The program’s site advertised free inspections and $10,000 grants on September 23, 2026; funding windows open and close.

Every Stonebridge home meets the build-date test; the insured-value cap is the filter. By our inference from the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll, homesteaded homes in Thornbrooke (62 of 107 homesteaded; median just value $705,760) and Shoreham (16 of 32; median just value $553,160) are the likeliest to qualify. Just value is not insured value, so treat that as a pointer, not an answer. Condominium units are generally outside the grant’s definition, again by our reading of the statute.

Shoreham: the association insures the villas

Shoreham works differently from the other three fee-simple neighborhoods. Under its 2016 recorded amendment (Instrument 5284491, OR 5289/771, reproduced in the club’s Supplemental Declarations compilation), the neighborhood association insures the 32 duplex villas, all-risk including windstorm, with flood coverage as available, and the Shoreham neighborhood fee includes liability and flood insurance. Owners insure their contents and interior finishes. A Shoreham buyer should request the association’s declarations page.

Condominiums: the master policy and the HO-6

In the six condominiums, Florida law splits the risk:

• The association must insure the condominium property for its full insurable value, with replacement cost determined at least every three years, under s. 718.111(11).
• The master policy excludes floor, wall and ceiling coverings, electrical fixtures, appliances, water heaters, water filters, built-in cabinets and countertops, and window treatments inside the unit.
• The unit owner carries an HO-6 policy for those items and contents. Under s. 627.714, it must include at least $2,000 of loss-assessment coverage with a deductible of no more than $250. Our advice: raise loss-assessment coverage toward your share of the association’s hurricane deductible.

Association flood coverage is allowed but not required by statute. Whether each Stonebridge condominium carries master flood coverage, and its hurricane deductible, is not public; those figures arrive with the resale disclosure package. The AE result at 1940 Willow Bend Circle makes Willow Bend’s the first we would confirm.

Which Schools Serve Stonebridge Country Club Addresses?

For the 2026-2027 school year, Collier County Public Schools zones Stonebridge Country Club addresses to Pelican Marsh Elementary, Pine Ridge Middle and Aubrey Rogers High School, all rated A by the Florida Department of Education in 2026. Zones can change; confirm any address with the district’s school zone lookup.

Stonebridge is not age-restricted, so the assignment matters to any buyer with children; older listing fields for this area can carry a stale high school.

How the zones were checked

We ran 18 queries against the Collier County Public Schools zone database, the address lookup behind the district’s public school zone map, for zone year 2027 (the 2026-2027 school year). The queries covered all 15 interior streets and all ten neighborhoods and returned 132 address records. All 132 returned the same three schools, with no rezone flag. A cross-check at 1932 Springberry Circle for zone year 2026 returned the same schools.

The three zoned schools

Pelican Marsh Elementary (Principal Dr. Rebecca Merhar) lists a positive-behavior (PBIS) program, a running club, grade-level musicals and leadership clubs. Pine Ridge Middle (Principal Michelle Gordon; 234, 285 and 272 students in grades 6 to 8) offers athletics including golf, performing arts, an outdoor classroom and garden, and Math Counts.

Aubrey Rogers High opened in August 2023 as Collier’s first new high school in 19 years, named for former Sheriff Aubrey Rogers; its teams are the Patriots. It offers AICE, AP and dual enrollment with FSW or FGCU; career academies (Arts and Technology, Business, Engineering and Trades, Health Science, Law and Public Safety); an Arthrex medical-device partnership through FGCU; a preserve boardwalk; beach volleyball; JROTC with a rappelling tower; and 60+ clubs. Florida Weekly reported a design capacity of 1,880 students (August 10, 2023).

At the district level, Collier County Public Schools earned an A for the ninth consecutive year, and “51 of 52 (98%) CCPS schools earned an ‘A’ or ‘B’ rating, and none earned a grade of D or F,” per the district’s 2026 Accountability Brief (July 1, 2026). The state’s own grade files are on the FLDOE school grades page.

School choice, if you want a different public school

CCPS Parental Choice offers “Out-of-Zone” placement for documented needs and “School Choice” requests subject to capacity, with applications due by June 30 of an open window. “Transportation is not provided by the District” for choice placements, and an approved student may stay through the school’s highest grade. The district’s Student Assignment office is at (239) 377-0540.

Private schools near Stonebridge

From the federal NCES Private School Survey (2023-24); drive times are our off-peak estimates, and tuition comes only from each school.

First Baptist Academy is the closest PK to 12 school at 3.2 miles. St. Elizabeth Seton School (PK to 8, 306 students) and Vanderbilt Presbyterian Childcare Learning Center (PK to K, 94) are also nearby.

Healthcare Near Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club is about 1.7 miles, roughly five minutes off-peak, from NCH North Naples Hospital, which runs a 24/7 adult and pediatric emergency department and a Level II NICU with Nicklaus Children’s. Since June 2025 the same campus also holds HSS at NCH, an orthopedic hospital. Downtown NCH Baker is about 21 minutes away.

NCH North Naples Hospital, across Immokalee Road

NCH North Naples Hospital sits at 11190 Health Park Boulevard, off Immokalee Road. NCH’s North Naples location page and system overview list a 24/7 emergency department with separate OB and pediatric emergency rooms, which NCH calls “the only 24/7 pediatric ER in Collier County.” Nicklaus Children’s runs a 19-bed Level II NICU and a pediatric ICU there, with 15 general pediatric rooms. The campus also offers maternity, orthopedics, ambulatory surgery, cardiac and pulmonary rehab, and imaging.

On the same campus, in Building 2, HSS at NCH opened on June 9, 2025, per NCH’s announcement: a three-story orthopedic hospital with 10 operating rooms, 23 treatment rooms, an outpatient musculoskeletal surgery center, MRI, CT and X-ray, and rehab, run in partnership with New York’s Hospital for Special Surgery. NCH’s two hospitals have 713 beds combined. NCH also describes itself as among “America’s 50 Best Hospitals for 2026” and in the “top 1% of all U.S. hospitals”; those are NCH’s own claims.

Two clarifications. NCH joined the Mayo Clinic Care Network on August 16, 2012, as its first Florida member; we have not confirmed that relationship today, and there is no Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic hospital in Naples. And NCH’s heart institute approvals concern the downtown Baker campus, per the City of Naples, not a new tower in North Naples.

Hospitals and emergency rooms, in one table

Physicians Regional Pine Ridge opened in 1999 as a Cleveland Clinic satellite and has been Physicians Regional since 2006.

Federal star ratings, as of September 23, 2026

CMS Care Compare overall star ratings, queried September 23, 2026: Naples Community Hospital (the NCH record) 3 stars; Physicians Regional Pine Ridge 2 stars; Lee Health Gulf Coast Medical Center 4 stars; Lee Memorial 5 stars. CMS updates these periodically, so re-check before relying on them.

Urgent care and walk-in clinics

• Collier Urgent Care, Creekside Corners, 1514 Immokalee Rd #114: open 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. daily, about 1.6 miles and 4 minutes (locations).
• HSS at NCH orthopedic walk-in, 1285 Creekside Blvd #102, weekdays 9 to 5 (NCH immediate care).

The club’s hurricane guidance lists NCH, (239) 624-5000, and Physicians Regional, (239) 354-6000, as its emergency numbers.

Real Drive Times From the Stonebridge Country Club Gates

Stonebridge Country Club is about 5 minutes off-peak from NCH North Naples Hospital and Pelican Marsh Elementary, about 6 minutes from I-75, 10 to 15 minutes from Vanderbilt Beach and Mercato, 20 to 25 minutes from Fifth Avenue South, and about 30 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport. Season traffic adds time.

How these were measured

The origin is the club address, 2100 Winding Oaks Way, at the coordinate in the school district’s address database. Destinations were geocoded with the U.S. Census geocoder and routed on OpenStreetMap roads with the public OSRM router, which carries no traffic data. The minutes are model estimates of off-peak drives, not observed trips. From January to April, Immokalee Road, US 41 and I-75 add time, sometimes a lot of it.

Measured distances and times

A hospital, groceries, the elementary school, urgent care, a county park and the interstate all sit within about 6 minutes of the gates; the beach is about 10. Other off-peak figures: Pine Ridge Middle and Aubrey Rogers High about 11 minutes, NCH Baker 21, Tampa about 3 hours.

What Is Being Built Around Stonebridge Country Club?

Stonebridge Country Club’s biggest coming change is on its west edge: Collier County plans to widen Airport-Pulling Road from four to six lanes past the gate, a $42 million project with no noise wall. A Livingston Road flyover, an I-75 diverging diamond interchange from 2027, The Henley apartments and NCH workforce housing are nearby.

Stonebridge itself is built out, so the civic questions are about the roads and land around it. Statuses are as of September 23, 2026.

Airport-Pulling Road goes to six lanes, with no noise wall

The widening runs from Vanderbilt Beach Road to Immokalee Road, along the entire west side of Stonebridge and past the Airport-Pulling gate. Per the county’s 60 percent design handout from the March 27, 2025 public meeting, the project costs $42.0 million in total ($37.3 million of it construction), funded from the infrastructure surtax, an FDOT county incentive grant, impact fees and gas tax.

The finished road will have 11-foot lanes, a raised median 22 to 29 feet wide, curb and gutter, a 10-foot sidewalk on the west side and a 6-foot sidewalk on the east, Stonebridge, side. The county said construction was “anticipated to begin in June 2026 and last up to two years”; its projects page still showed 60 percent design when we checked, and Fox 4 reported a start as early as fall 2026. Owners should plan on about two years of work zone on the west gate road.

The noise wall answer is no. Stonebridge residents asked for a wall along Airport Road. The county’s comment responses say its FDOT-standard traffic noise study found no barrier “cost reasonable and feasible,” so none will be built; residents may build walls on their own property. Landscaped medians are not in the project; communities can pursue them through a municipal service taxing unit. Whether the Airport-Pulling gate keeps a full median opening is not stated in the documents we read. On a lot near the west edge, road noise is a fair question to raise at a showing.

The wider corridor, project by project

New neighbors: The Henley and NCH workforce housing

The Henley, from Stock Development, is 336 apartments on the west side of Airport-Pulling Road, south of Orange Blossom Drive. Gulfshore Business reported the land cleared in 2025, with completion targeted for summer 2027.

NCH workforce housing is planned behind 1100 Immokalee Road, about 1 to 1.5 miles west of Stonebridge by our estimate. As reported by the Naples Press and Gulfshore Business (April 9, 2025), it is 250 units, possibly growing to 400 to 500, at $65 million to $70 million, with construction expected in the second half of 2026 and a tentative summer 2028 opening; zoning was still pending.

Aircraft noise and public safety

Naples Airport’s noise abatement program sets quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and none of the airport’s noise material mentions North Naples, Immokalee Road or Livingston Road. By our reading, aircraft noise is not a material Stonebridge issue.

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office patrols unincorporated North Naples; its District 1 office is at 776 Vanderbilt Beach Road, and we infer that Stonebridge falls in District 1. The most recent countywide crime release we found is years old, so we publish no crime rate and no third-party “crime score.”

Leasing, Pets, the Gates and the Rules That Actually Bite at Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club allows leases of 30 days or more, no more than four a year per home, under its master Declaration; most condominiums bar tenant pets. Owners may keep household pets, leashed outside, never on the golf course. Two gated entrances serve the community, and the club advertises a 24-hour guarded gatehouse.

Three layers of rules apply: the master Amended and Restated Declaration, the club’s rules, and in the condominiums each association’s own documents, which can be stricter.

The gates, the patrol and what they do not promise

Stonebridge has two gated entrances, on Immokalee Road and on Airport-Pulling Road. The club advertises a 24-hour guarded gatehouse on its membership page, and its FY2025 budget package shows the Airport-Pulling Road gate staffed: management listed un-staffing it as a $75,000 savings option ($93.87 per door) and the Board kept it. Hours by entrance are not published in any document we read. A roving patrol has monitored the community “throughout the day,” per the club’s August 2019 general manager report. A gate bar code costs $15 plus 6 percent sales tax under the club’s FY2027 schedule.

The Declaration adds that the association “shall not in any way be considered an insurer or guarantor of security.”

Leasing: the master rules

Under the master Declaration, a Stonebridge lease must be:

1. For the whole unit, with no subleasing or assignment without Board approval.
2. In writing and subject to the governing documents.
3. At least 30 days long.
4. No more than four times in a calendar year for any unit.

Neighborhood and condominium documents may be stricter, and the Declaration says leasing is not a “business.” With a 30-day minimum and a four-lease cap, Stonebridge suits seasonal tenants, not vacation rentals. It is not age-restricted.

The condominium lease rules, association by association

The lease and sale forms posted in the club’s file library (dated 2019 and 2020) add these rules:

Condominium lease packages include a membership-transfer payment to the club (the forms posted on the club site, dated 2019 and 2020, show $450); confirm the current amount with the association. Ask each manager for the current package.

Tenants and the club

Under the master Declaration, an owner’s club rights “may be delegated to a lessee subject to compliance with the Rules and Regulations.” Carrington is the exception on paper: there, the owner “relinquishes all rights to the club and its facilities” during the lease. Tenants pay renter rates under the club’s FY2027 schedule: 18 holes with a cart at $92 from January to April, $35 from May to October and $78 in November and December; $9 a fitness class; $6 a tennis round robin.

Pets: household pets, on a leash, never on the course

The master Declaration allows “dogs, cats, or other usual and common household pets, not to exceed a reasonable number determined by the Board.” The details:

• Pets must be leashed “whenever they are outside the Owner’s Unit.”
• Owners pick up after pets; the fine is up to $50 per occurrence.
• The Board can require removal of a nuisance pet, with fines up to $50 a day.
• No commercial breeding.
• No pets on the golf course at any time, per the club’s golf rules.

Owner pet limits by weight or breed in the condominiums sit in each condominium declaration; ask before an offer with a large dog. Rover Run, the dog park at Veterans Community Park, is about 1.7 miles by car; the county closed it August 10 to 28, 2026 for maintenance.

Garages, vehicles and the Architectural Review Committee

Under the Declaration, commercial or lettered vehicles, RVs, trailers, campers, boats and boat trailers may be kept only inside an enclosed garage, as may inoperable or unlicensed vehicles (a vehicle under a tarp for 14 days counts as “stored”). Garage doors stay closed except to come and go; violators may be towed and fined up to $50 a day. Only club-owned or leased carts go on the course. Other rules: a home business only if it is invisible from outside, zoning-compliant and has no client traffic; fuel storage of 5 gallons at most; window coverings backed in white or off-white, never reflective; play equipment only with approval. The Architectural Review Committee, three to five people appointed by the Board, approves any improvement, including landscaping, pools, driveways and exterior changes, and may charge review fees. In Hawthorne Estates, Thornbrooke and Manchester, the supplemental declarations require concrete tile roofs, and the Hawthorne Estates (2020) and Manchester (2019) amendments set mailbox standards.

Open houses and signs

Under the club’s open house rules, an open house must be registered with the association office by 1:00 p.m. Friday; only the approved 18 by 12 inch green-on-white Stonebridge “Open House” sign may be used, from noon to 5 p.m., at most twice a week per home; a home on a side street may add one sign at its Winding Oaks Way intersection. No “For Sale” or “Open House” signs may go on the home or in a vehicle. Any potential buyer who enters at either guard gate gets the master open-house sheet.

Buying in, moving in and daily services

• Estoppel: the master association’s estoppel certificate costs $299 and comes from the Controller’s office, contact details on the club’s real estate page.
• Membership is automatic: “When you purchase a home in Stonebridge, you are automatically a member of the country club,” per the club’s new home purchase page.
• Moving hours and truck rules are not published; ask the association office.
• Irrigation: the Declaration provides a central irrigation system, and every single-family lot in Hawthorne Estates, Thornbrooke and Manchester must connect to it. County watering rules apply: three days a week (even addresses Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday; odd addresses Monday, Wednesday and Saturday), never between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and never on Friday, per Collier County’s irrigation page.
• Television and internet: the club’s Cost of Ownership page says master fees include “bulk television services (only pay for upgraded services).” The current provider is not published.
• Fire and mosquito control: North Collier Fire Control and Rescue District (1.0000 mills) and Collier Mosquito Control District (0.1331 mills) appear on the 2026 preliminary tax bill.

Selling a Home in Stonebridge Country Club: The Rules Most Listing Agents Miss

Selling a home in Stonebridge Country Club means pricing around the $18,399 an outside buyer pays the association at closing, ordering a $299 master estoppel (and a second one in the six condominiums), following the club’s open-house sign rules, and listing into a season that recorded 24 of the last 35 qualified sales between December and May.

Who pays the capital contribution, and why it still shapes your price

The buyer pays it. The Declaration says “a non-refundable contribution shall be made by the purchaser” (2019 Declaration, archived club copy), and the club’s FY2027 schedule, dated September 2, 2026, sets it at $17,500 for an outside buyer and $0 for a qualifying existing owner. With the $600 transfer fee and $299 estoppel, an outside buyer brings $18,399 to the association (our arithmetic). A buyer comparing your home with a club that charges less at resale subtracts that from your price, so we price with it in view; who pays what is still a contract term. The contribution was about $6,197 until the club’s April 2025 change, and the recorded amendment behind it has not been located; the fee stack section above carries the full history.

Estoppel and the renovation fee

The master estoppel is $299 for FY2027, issued within 15 days under the Declaration and ordered from the Controller’s office listed on the club’s real estate page. Condominium owners also need their condominium association’s estoppel; order both the day the contract is signed. Because the Declaration makes a buyer jointly and severally liable with the seller for unpaid assessments, every open balance is cleared at closing.

The renovation fee is part of quarterly dues, not a balance due at sale. The $1,920 line is billed at $480 a quarter until the loan is paid off in February 2035 (Cost of Ownership page); on our reading of that billing, a seller owes only the installments due through closing. Confirm it on your estoppel.

Buyer approval, leases and a tenant in place

Your buyer becomes a member automatically: “When you purchase a home in Stonebridge, you are automatically a member of the country club” (archived club page, 2020). The club’s 2001 resale article said approval applications were “not necessary for single family homeowners”; no current master rule appears in the documents we read, so we confirm it on each listing. The condominiums run their own approvals (Heatherwood’s form covers sales as well as leases), so request the resale package before launch.

Leases run 30 days minimum and no more than four a year under the Declaration, tenants may not keep pets in five condominiums, and in Carrington the owner “relinquishes all rights to the club and its facilities” during a lease (Carrington lease application). A tenant in place means showings run through the tenant, so match the lease end to the expected closing. Leasing detail sits in the logistics section above.

Open houses, signs and the gate

Stonebridge has its own rulebook (club open house rules):

• Register with the association office by 1:00 p.m. Friday.
• Use only the approved 18 x 12 inch green-on-white “Open House” sign, noon to 5 p.m., no more than twice a week per unit, plus one sign at Winding Oaks Way for a side-street home.
• No “For Sale” or “Open House” signs on the home or in vehicles.
• Every buyer entering at either guard gate is handed the master open-house sheet.

Seasonality: what the deed record says about when Stonebridge sells

Data updated: September 2026. Qualified sales on the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll, by recording month, August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026:

December through May recorded 24 of the 35, about 69 percent; June through September recorded 5. Recordings trail contracts by weeks, so contracts cluster from late fall through early spring, on one year of data. Turnover is about 4.4 percent a year (35 of 799), close to the “around five percent” the club’s 2001 article expected. Neighborhood-by-neighborhood prices are in the market snapshot above.

On the Southwest Florida MLS, closings September 25, 2025 to September 24, 2026, pulled September 24, 2026, the median Stonebridge listing sold in 26 days on market, and three of the 33 closings recorded 0 days on market: one on Manchester Court, one in Braeburn on Winding Oaks Way and one in Heatherwood on Chesterbrook Court. A well-priced home listed in season can move in days.

Condominium sellers: stories, SIRS and the resale package

Stonebridge’s six condominiums appear to be two-story buildings: unit numbers run 101 to 104 and 201 to 204, and the county roll shows a consistent lower-floor and upper-floor size pattern in every building. Florida’s milestone inspection law and structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) requirement (s. 718.112) apply to condominium buildings three or more stories tall, and Collier County’s milestone inspection registry lists no Stonebridge buildings. We have not yet confirmed story counts from the recorded condominium plans, so treat this as our reading of the records, not a certification. Reserves, insurance and any special assessment appear in the condominium estoppel and resale package, so assemble it before listing.

The Stonebridge disclosure checklist

Florida’s seller-disclosure statutes were not part of our research, so ask your attorney what the law requires. These are the Stonebridge facts a buyer’s attorney will find, and they are better coming from you:

• Mandatory membership, the 2025 capital contribution change, and the FY2027 fee stack with the renovation fee to 2035.
• The flood zone at your address: lake-edge points on Springberry Circle, Wexford Court and 1940 Willow Bend Circle map in Zone AE (FEMA flood layer); Collier’s Flood Info Hotline, (239) 252-2942, can check for an elevation certificate.
• Roof permit date and a current wind mitigation form: a permitted re-roof after March 1, 2002, a hip roof and impact openings improve a buyer’s insurance quote.
• Leasing limits; Shoreham’s association-insured regime; the Hawthorne Estates lots 1 to 10 preservation easement (OR 2056, Pages 26 to 55).
• The Airport-Pulling Road widening: up to two years of work on the west side and no noise wall (county responses).

How Does Stonebridge Country Club Compare to Other Bundled-Golf Communities in Naples?

Stonebridge Country Club carries the highest club-level cost of the Naples bundled clubs in our benchmark set that publish a current club document: $17,600 for FY2027, against $9,478 to $12,674 at five siblings. Its $17,500 capital contribution matches Naples Heritage’s and exceeds the rest, and it charges no food-and-beverage minimum.

The benchmark table: club-published money only

Every money figure below comes from the club’s or master association’s own document, as recorded in our benchmark research (sibling documents pulled September 1, 2026 unless the row says otherwise). Where no club-issued figure exists, the cell says “Information not available at time of publishing” rather than borrowing an aggregator’s number. Course and designer details marked “reported” come from secondary sources and are attributed as such. For the wider market, see our Naples golf communities guide.

How to read the cost column without being misled

The annual column is not like-for-like, and we would rather say so than let the table imply it is:

• Stonebridge’s $17,600 is a club-level total. It includes $9,094 in country club dues, two master-association lines of $2,667 and $2,869 (the club’s fee schedule and Cost of Ownership page swap the labels on those two lines; the $5,536 sum is the same either way), the $1,920 renovation fee, the $950 F&B service charge and a new $100 Strategic Reserves line. Neighborhood fees of $2,412 (Thornbrooke) to $7,800 (Ashton Oaks) stack on top.
• Three drivers explain most of the gap to the siblings: the $1,920 renovation loan line that runs to February 2035, a capital reserve line of $2,667 or $2,869, and the $950 service charge. Set that last one against the food minimums elsewhere: Cedar Hammock and Heritage Bay each add $1,000 a year, Cypress Woods $600 and Naples Heritage $500, while Stonebridge has none.
• Naples Heritage’s $11,621.40 combines an operating assessment, a capital reserve, a campus expansion charge that runs through 2026, and internet. Cedar Hammock’s $12,674 includes cable, internet and a special assessment through 2032. Countryside’s $9,478.28 is our addition of three club lines for its golf tier.

On the one-time charge, Stonebridge’s $17,500 ties Naples Heritage’s for new residents and sits above Heritage Bay ($13,500), Cedar Hammock ($12,000), Countryside ($12,000) and Cypress Woods ($10,000). Stonebridge is also among the clubs that spare an insider: its FY2027 schedule charges an existing owner $0, where Naples Heritage charges $3,000 to an owner moving within and Cypress Woods 25 percent.

On golf, Stonebridge’s course is the shortest from the back tee among the North Naples private clubs our research compared (6,414 yards against 6,489 to 7,119) and has one of the shortest forward tees at 4,068 yards; that ranking is our reading of the comparison set. Its renovation architect, Kipp Schulties, also rebuilt the North Course at Vineyards in 2024 with Bimini fairways, and Vineyards reports a 2025 Golf Inc. honorable mention for that work (Vineyards Country Club). That is context on the architect’s recent work nearby, not a Stonebridge award.

The non-bundled clubs buyers name alongside Stonebridge

Search demand pairs Stonebridge with Pelican Marsh and Kensington most often, and with Quail Creek and Olde Cypress in related searches. None of these is a like-for-like comparison, because in each the golf membership is a separate decision from the house.

The contrast is the point. At Stonebridge there is no initiation, and the golf is part of the home from the day you close. At these four, golf is an initiation decision on top of the house.

Stonebridge Country Club vs Naples Lakes Country Club on the county deed record

The county record puts the two communities side by side on comparable twelve-month windows. Both counts come from qualified sales on the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll; each community’s window is shown.

Both communities’ condominiums price in the same broad band, the $300,000s to the $700,000s. On our reading, Naples Lakes’ newer single-family homes (built 2000 to 2003) sell above Stonebridge’s Thornbrooke and Hawthorne Estates but below Manchester. The full picture is on our Naples Lakes Country Club page.

Stonebridge Country Club vs Naples Heritage: Which Should You Choose?

Naples Heritage is the closest structural twin in the Naples bundled market: also 799 residences, also bundled and non-equity, also a $17,500 contribution from a new resident (Naples Heritage membership page, pulled September 1, 2026; Stonebridge FY2027 schedule). The differences are in the annual bill, the food rule, the location and the golf.

On the published lines, Naples Heritage costs $5,978.60 a year less at the club level before either community’s neighborhood fees (our arithmetic). That gap is the headline, and it is real.

Choose Stonebridge Country Club if you want North Naples: NCH North Naples Hospital about 1.7 miles and 5 minutes away, Vanderbilt Beach about 11 minutes off-peak, and the I-75 interchange at Immokalee Road about 2.5 miles (our routing estimates, off-peak). Choose it too if you want a course redesigned in 2023 and a Bistro and pool open by spring 2024, six tee sets that play as short as 4,068 yards for mixed-ability couples, no food minimum to use up, and zoned public schools that were all graded A in 2026.

Choose Naples Heritage if the lowest published annual club bill for a 799-home bundled community (Naples Heritage membership page) matters more to you than location, and East Naples suits your daily drives. Ask for its neighborhood fee schedule before you compare totals, because that is the half of the bill neither club’s headline number shows.

Honest Pros and Cons of Stonebridge Country Club

Stonebridge Country Club’s strongest arguments are golf with the home and no initiation, a course redesigned in 2023, a new Bistro and pool, no food minimum and no development district. Its honest weaknesses are a club-level bill that has roughly doubled since FY2019 to $17,600, a $17,500 capital contribution that nearly tripled in 2025, and homes built 1995 to 2002.

The case for Stonebridge Country Club

• Golf is part of the home, with no initiation, equity or deposit. The club says “There are no equity or deposits required to become a member,” and every owner is a member (club membership page).
• The course is newly redesigned, and the Bistro and pool are new. The Kipp Schulties redesign ran through 2023, with the club’s renovation reveal streamed on November 29, 2023. The new Bistro and resort-style pool were open by spring 2024: Club + Resort Business reported in May 2024 that they opened that March. The clubhouse was renovated and expanded in a 33,000-square-foot project completed in September 2014 (Brooks and Freund).
• No food minimum and no tipping at the table. “Stonebridge uses an annual F&B service charge in lieu of a per meal gratuity. Stonebridge has no F&B minimum” (2019 annual meeting presentation); the charge is $950 for FY2027.
• No CDD. Stonebridge has no community development district and no special-district or MSTU assessment; every one of its roll parcels carries $0 in non-ad-valorem assessments on the 2026 preliminary roll (Cost of Ownership page).
• Owners own the club. Owners took control from Taylor Woodrow at a turnover meeting on November 1, 2001 (turnover minutes). The county roll lists the association as owner of record of the golf course and clubhouse, and the 1996 Fourth Supplemental Declaration required the developer to deed the club facilities to it before turnover.
• A wide product ladder under one gate. Qualified sales in the last twelve months ran from $365,000 for a Willow Bend condominium to $2,001,000 for a Manchester estate home (Collier County recorded deeds, August 2025 to August 2026).
• A central North Naples location. NCH North Naples Hospital is about 1.7 miles and 5 minutes away, the I-75 interchange at Immokalee Road about 2.5 miles, and Vanderbilt Beach about 11 minutes, all off-peak routing estimates that season traffic lengthens.
• A-graded zoned schools. Every Stonebridge address tested is zoned to Pelican Marsh Elementary, Pine Ridge Middle and Aubrey Rogers High, all graded A in 2026 (Collier County Public Schools 2026 grades).
• A course for every player in the house. Par 71, from 6,414 yards at Tee I to 4,068 yards at Tee VI, six rated tee sets, 71.6 rating and 136 slope from the back (club course card).
• Long-tenured staff. General Manager and COO Tim Jones has been at Stonebridge since 1998 (club bio), and head golf professional Erik Peterson since 1996 (club bio).
• Pools at home. 219 of the 251 fee-simple homes, about 87 percent, carry a private pool on the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll.
• An Audubon course. The course was fully certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in 2005, as reported by The Florida Green in its Winter 2006 issue, and the club still describes it as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary (club lifestyle page). Current recertification status is not confirmed.
• Not age-restricted, and no master special assessment appears in the club’s published schedules from FY2019 through FY2027.

The case against Stonebridge Country Club

• The club bill has roughly doubled. Club-level charges went from $8,739.48 in FY2019 (the sum of the club’s published line items, FY2019 cost of ownership) to $17,600 in FY2027, about 101 percent. The steepest run was FY2023 to FY2026, up 12.5, 11.2, 13.2 and 13.4 percent in successive years; FY2027 rose 5.5 percent (our arithmetic on the club’s schedules).
• The capital contribution nearly tripled in 2025, from about $6,197 under the Declaration formula to a flat fee now at $17,500, a direct cost to every outside buyer, and the recorded amendment behind the change has not been located.
• Condominium fees roughly doubled while condominium prices eased. Willow Bend’s fee went from $3,808 (FY2019) to $7,500 (calendar 2026) and Middleburg’s from $4,300 to $7,080, per the club’s schedules above, in the same years in which Florida’s condominium reserve and insurance costs rose statewide; condominium medians sit below their 2023 to 2024 peaks.
• The renovation fee runs to 2035. $1,920 a year until the loan is paid off in February 2035, per the club.
• Every home predates the statewide building code of March 1, 2002; roofs, openings and the wind mitigation form drive insurance quotes.
• Some lake-edge addresses are in Zone AE. Springberry Circle and Wexford Court in Hawthorne Estates and part of Willow Bend map in the 1 percent annual-chance floodplain, with a base flood elevation of about 9 feet; buyers there may need flood insurance for a mortgage. Citizens will require flood coverage on all its personal residential wind policies from January 1, 2027, condominium unit-owner policies excepted (Citizens flood requirement).
• Two years of road work on the west side. The county’s $42.0 million Airport-Pulling widening from Vanderbilt Beach Road to Immokalee Road was “anticipated to begin in June 2026 and last up to two years,” and residents’ request for a noise wall was turned down (county comments and responses).
• No marina, no beach club, no on-site pickleball. Boats and trailers must be garaged under the Declaration. The nearest public pickleball is at Veterans Community Park, about 1.7 miles away, with 14 courts (Collier Parks).
• Tenant restrictions. A 30-day minimum, no more than four leases a year, no tenant pets in five condominiums, and in Carrington the owner gives up club rights during a lease.
• You pay the full club bill whether or not you golf. Membership is mandatory with every home.
• Season traffic. Immokalee Road backs up in season, and the Livingston Road flyover’s design contract, approved July 28, 2026, starts a five-to-six-year program (Gulfshore Business).
• Several facts a buyer must confirm. Condominium story counts are our reading of the roll, not a certification. The club advertises a 24-hour guarded gatehouse, and its FY2025 budget shows the Airport-Pulling Road gate staffed, but hours by entrance are not published. Evacuation zones are set by Collier County, so check your exact address in Collier County’s Know Your Zone lookup before relying on any zone letter.

Who Stonebridge is right for, and who it is not

Stonebridge Country Club fits a household that golfs or wants the club life without an initiation, values a North Naples address five minutes from a hospital and about ten from the beach, and would rather pay one predictable club bill with no food minimum than an initiation and dues at a separate club.

It does not fit a household that does not golf and resents paying for it, an investor who needs short-term rental flexibility, a buyer who wants a boat at the dock or a pickleball court at the club, or a buyer whose budget cannot absorb a bill that rose 101 percent in eight years.

Thinking of Selling Your Stonebridge Country Club Home? List With the #1 Team in Southwest Florida Since 2012

If you’re searching for the best Stonebridge Country Club listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need to sell my house in Stonebridge Country Club…’, you are selling a bundled club membership, a buyer’s $17,500 capital contribution and, in six condominiums, a second association’s paperwork. McGreevy and Comisar sell Stonebridge on those facts.

A Stonebridge listing is not won with a yard sign; the rules forbid one. The buyer’s one-time charges shape what they will pay, a condominium sale runs through two estoppels, and the buyer pool is seasonal and partly out of state: 46 percent of Stonebridge owners use a mailing address outside Florida on the county roll. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate, and on a Stonebridge listing that experience goes into the unglamorous part: both estoppels ordered on day one, the condominium package assembled before launch, the flood and roof documents in hand before a lender asks, and pricing built from the county sale record by neighborhood.

Recent Stonebridge sales, from the county record. In the last 12 months we tracked every recorded Stonebridge Country Club deed: 93 recorded from August 21, 2025 to August 20, 2026, of which 35 are qualified sales on the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll. The fee-simple median was $985,000 (n=14, the mean of the middle pair, $985,000 and $985,000), the condominium median $437,500 (n=21), and prices ran from $365,000 to $2,001,000.

How close to asking, from the MLS. On the Southwest Florida MLS, closings September 25, 2025 to September 24, 2026, pulled September 24, 2026, the 33 Stonebridge closings had a median of 26 days on market and a median sold-to-list ratio of 95.43%. Fee-simple sellers (n=8) closed at a median 92.96% of list price, the mean of the middle pair, 92.44% and 93.47%; condominium sellers (n=25) closed at a median 96.00%. Three sales closed at 0 days on market.

Who pays the capital contribution when I sell my home in Stonebridge Country Club in Naples? The buyer. The Declaration says “a non-refundable contribution shall be made by the purchaser,” and the FY2027 schedule sets it at $17,500 for an outside buyer and $0 for a qualifying existing owner. You do not pay it unless your contract shifts it, and your buyer counts it, so we price with it in view.

Do I owe the rest of the renovation fee when I sell? Not as a lump sum on the club’s published billing. The $1,920 fee is billed at $480 a quarter through February 2035 (Cost of Ownership page); on our reading you owe the installments due through closing, and the estoppel confirms the figure for your home.

How long does the Stonebridge estoppel take, and what does it cost? The Declaration requires the association to issue it within 15 days, and the fee is $299 for FY2027 (FY2027 schedule). Condominium sellers need their condominium association’s estoppel as well. Who pays each is a contract term.

Can I hold an open house or put up a For Sale sign? You can hold an open house if you register with the association office by 1:00 p.m. Friday and use only the approved green-on-white “Open House” sign, noon to 5 p.m., no more than twice a week. For Sale signs are not allowed on the home or in vehicles (club open house rules).

Should I sell while my condominium is leased? You can, but the lease shapes the sale. Leases run at least 30 days, showings go through the tenant, and a Carrington owner gives up club rights for the term of a lease (Carrington lease application). Time the lease end to the expected closing where you can.

When is the best time to list a Stonebridge home? Before the season. December through May recorded 24 of the 35 qualified sales in the last twelve months on the Collier County record (one year of data), and recording dates trail contracts by weeks, so a home that is priced and documented by October meets the most buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition

Stonebridge Country Club (Naples, FL 34109) is a gated, member-owned golf community of 799 residences in unincorporated North Naples, built 1995 to 2002, where every owner is a club member. These answers come from the club’s own fee schedules and rules, recorded documents, Collier County recorded deeds and federal and state records, with each limit stated plainly.

How much does it cost to join Stonebridge Country Club in Naples, FL?

There is no initiation fee. For FY2027 (October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027) every residence pays $17,600 in club-level charges, $4,400 a quarter, per the club’s FY2027 fee schedule of September 2, 2026, plus a $2,412 to $7,800 neighborhood fee. Outside buyers pay a one-time $17,500 capital contribution, $600 transfer fee and $299 estoppel.

What are the six club-level charges that make up the $17,600 at Stonebridge Country Club?

Club dues $9,094; base assessment and capital reserves of $2,667 and $2,869; renovation fee $1,920; F&B service charge $950; strategic reserves $100 (FY2027 schedule). The club’s fee PDF and Cost of Ownership page label the $2,667 and $2,869 lines oppositely; together they are $5,536 either way.

What are the HOA fees in Stonebridge Country Club, Naples?

The club and master HOA are one association, so the master HOA lines ($2,667 and $2,869, labels swapped between the club’s two FY2027 documents) sit inside the $17,600. Each neighborhood or condominium adds its own fee: $2,412 in Thornbrooke up to $7,800 in Ashton Oaks.

Is there a Stonebridge Country Club fee schedule PDF I can see?

Yes. The club posts its FY2027 Rates and Fees schedule, dated September 2, 2026, publicly on its website, and FY2025 schedules remain posted too. The FY2026 PDFs are now members-only. We list the documents in this page’s Downloadable Documents section.

Is there an initiation fee at Stonebridge Country Club?

No. “There are no equity or deposits required to become a member,” the club’s membership page says. Instead an outside buyer pays a one-time, non-refundable $17,500 New Owner Capital Contribution at closing (FY2027 schedule).

What is the Stonebridge resale fee, and has it changed since 2021 or 2022?

Yes, sharply: $4,202.24 in FY2021, $4,505.55 in FY2022, and about $6,197 in FY2025 under the Declaration’s formula. The club changed it effective April 25, 2025, published $15,000 that May and lists $17,500 for FY2027. We have not located the recorded amendment.

Does an existing Stonebridge owner pay the capital contribution when buying another home there?

The FY2027 schedule lists $0 for an existing (internal) owner. The Cost of Ownership page says current residents “do not pay a resale if they are a single home owner and purchase within one year of the sale of their previous home.” Confirm with the Controller before contract.

Are there reduced dues or membership costs for seniors at Stonebridge Country Club in Naples?

No. The club’s published schedules show no senior or age-based discount; the $17,600 (FY2027) applies to every residence. Stonebridge is not age-restricted either. Other clubs named Stonebridge appear in these searches; this answer is about the Naples club.

How much does it cost to live in Stonebridge Country Club per year, all in?

$20,012 (Thornbrooke) to $25,400 (Ashton Oaks) a year before tax and insurance. Median 2026 preliminary tax bills run $2,900 (Carrington, n=136) to $9,704 (Manchester, n=34), but the seller’s tax bill is not the buyer’s: the assessment resets at sale.

How much are the neighborhood fees for each Stonebridge Country Club neighborhood?

FY2027: Thornbrooke $2,412, Manchester $2,916, Hawthorne Estates $3,420, Shoreham $4,560. Condominiums (calendar 2026): Heatherwood $5,300 (plus $200 for garage owners), Carrington $6,024, Middleburg $7,080, Willow Bend $7,500, Braeburn $7,552, Ashton Oaks $7,800.

What is the Stonebridge clubhouse renovation fee, and when does it end?

$1,920 a year ($480 a quarter), repaying the loan for the new Bistro, resort-style pool and golf course renovation. The club says the loan “will be paid off in February 2035.” An earlier $885.48 fee repaid the 2014 clubhouse loan, which ended February 2023.

Is there a food and beverage minimum at Stonebridge Country Club?

No. “Stonebridge has no F&B minimum,” the club’s 2019 annual meeting presentation states. Every residence pays a $950 annual F&B service charge (FY2027) in place of per-meal gratuities.

How fast have Stonebridge Country Club dues risen?

Club-level charges went from $8,739 (FY2019) to $17,600 (FY2027), roughly double: up 12.5% in FY2023, 11.2% in FY2024, 13.2% in FY2025, 13.4% in FY2026 and 5.5% in FY2027. The FY2025 budget memo cited reserves, labor and insurance.

Is there a CDD or special assessment on Stonebridge Country Club tax bills?

No. There is no CDD or MSTU, and every parcel shows $0 in non-ad-valorem assessments on the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll. No master special assessment appears FY2019 to FY2027. Condominium buyers should ask their association about pending assessments.

How do you pay Stonebridge HOA fees?

Quarterly. The association bills club charges and single-family neighborhood fees; each condominium’s manager bills its fee. Paper statements cost $25 a year (FY2027). Payment methods are not published; the Controller’s office can confirm them.

Are Stonebridge Country Club fees in line with other bundled Naples communities?

Higher. The $17,600 FY2027 club level exceeds every bundled sibling with a published club document in our set ($9,478 to $12,674). Naples Heritage, also 799 homes, lists $11,621.40 for 2026 plus a $500 food minimum on its membership page; Stonebridge has no minimum.

Is sales tax charged on club dues or initiation in Naples?

The club’s FY2027 schedule shows no sales tax line on resident dues; usage fees and non-resident memberships carry 6% Florida sales tax. There is no initiation fee to tax. Tax treatment beyond the schedule was not researched.

Is Stonebridge Country Club bundled golf?

Yes. The club calls it “a gated and bundled golf community where membership and golf privileges are included with every home purchase” on its real estate page. Members pay no green fees.

What does “bundled golf” mean at Stonebridge Country Club?

Membership, with golf, comes with the home, and every owner pays dues whether or not they play, per the club’s membership page. Members pay only $35 with cart or $29 walking per 18 holes (FY2027).

Is membership mandatory at Stonebridge Country Club?

Yes. “When you purchase a home in Stonebridge, you are automatically a member of the country club,” the club’s membership page says. There is no opt-out.

Is Stonebridge Country Club private? Is it public or private?

Private. Play is for members, their guests, tenants under the golf rules and non-resident members the Board admits. The course opened to the public in February 1992 as the Southampton golf course, before the owners’ association took it over.

Is the Stonebridge Country Club golf course good, and is it in good condition?

Kipp Schulties redesigned it in 2023 with new Bimini bermudagrass, rock walls replacing bulkheads, and new irrigation controls and greens (as reported). The club rates it 71.6/136 from 6,414 yards. Condition is seasonal, so play or tour it.

Who designed the Stonebridge Country Club course, and when was it renovated?

Gene Bates, formerly of the Jack Nicklaus design group, laid it out; it opened in February 1992. Bates touched it up in 2003, Gordon Lewis renovated it in 2010, and Kipp Schulties redesigned it in 2023, per the club’s golf rules history.

What are the Stonebridge Country Club scorecard, slope and rating?

Par 71, 6,414 yards (Tee I) to 4,068 yards (Tee VI) across six rated tee sets, with a 71.6 rating and 136 slope from the back, per the club’s course tour. These are club figures, not yet confirmed in the USGA database.

What does the Stonebridge Country Club course layout look like?

Four par 3s (holes 5, 8, 11, 17), eleven par 4s and three par 5s (3, 15, 18). Water is in play on 15 of 18 holes, per the club, and 18 finishes at the clubhouse. No public routing map with hole numbers was found.

Does Stonebridge Country Club have a driving range?

Yes. The club’s 2019 golf rules describe a 230-yard range, and its tee was enlarged in 2023. There is also a putting green tripled in 2010 and a short-game area built in 2023.

Does Stonebridge Country Club have a golf dress code?

Yes. The club’s October 2019 golf rules require collared, tucked shirts and soft spikes, with no denim, cargo or athletic shorts. Confirm the current rules with the golf shop.

Can non-residents join Stonebridge Country Club in Naples?

Yes, in limited categories (FY2027, plus 6% tax): Summer (May to October) $3,000, Summer Golf Extension $1,000, Social $3,000, Annual $9,000. Summer members get golf, dining, fitness, the pool and reciprocal golf. Caps or waitlists are not published.

Can you get tee times at Stonebridge Country Club if you do not live there?

Only as a member’s guest, a non-resident member or through reciprocal play. FY2027 guest fees run $74 to $134 for 18 with cart by season. Under the 2019 rules, guests may not book before noon January to March.

Is the Stonebridge Country Club course hard?

It depends on the tee. Water touches 15 of 18 holes and the back-tee slope is 136, but Tees III to V run 107 to 123. Six tee sets span 6,414 to 4,068 yards (club scorecard).

Is Stonebridge a step up from average bundled golf communities?

Your call. For: a 2023 course redesign, a Bistro and pool open by spring 2024, no F&B minimum, an owner-owned club, all-A schools. Against: the highest club-level cost among the sibling clubs we compared ($17,600) and a $17,500 contribution.

What is the difference between equity and non-equity membership, and which is Stonebridge Country Club?

Equity means buying a refundable or ownership stake; non-equity means none. Stonebridge is non-equity: no equity or deposit, owners collectively own the club through their association, and the $17,500 capital contribution is non-refundable.

Are bundled golf communities like Stonebridge worth it if you do not golf much?

Every owner pays the full $17,600 (FY2027). The non-golf side: five Har-Tru tennis courts, fitness, the resort-style pool, four dining venues, a social calendar and a two-mile walking loop. Whether that is worth it is personal.

How many homes are in Stonebridge Country Club, Naples?

799: 251 fee-simple (Hawthorne Estates 78, Thornbrooke 107, Shoreham 32, Manchester 34) and 548 condominium units (Ashton Oaks 52, Braeburn 132, Carrington 136, Heatherwood 88, Middleburg 84, Willow Bend 56), per the Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll.

When was Stonebridge Country Club built?
