Worthington Country Club is a gated, 799-residence bundled golf community in Bonita Springs, Florida, set on about 300 acres just south of Bonita Beach Road and east of I-75 and Bonita Grande Drive. Every home carries full club membership, there is no equity fee, and the 2026 master dues are $13,058 per residence. It is the value play among Bonita’s bundled clubs: an 18-hole Ron Garl-renovated course, five Har-Tru tennis courts and a renovated clubhouse, with condos recorded from $160,000 and single-family homes to $945,000 in the last 12 months.
This guide is written for sellers first and buyers second. It is built from the public record: the club’s own 2026 fee schedule and purchaser’s packet, Lee County Property Appraiser parcel and sale data for all 799 residences, Florida Division of Corporations filings for all ten associations, FEMA flood maps, Lee County evacuation data and the School District of Lee County’s 2026-2027 enrollment plan. Every figure carries its source and date. Where a fact is not published anywhere, we say so and tell you who holds it.

Recent Worthington track record (last 12 months, September 2025 through August 2026): 57 homes sold in Worthington, recorded as qualified sales by the Lee County Property Appraiser · $22.04 million in Worthington dollar volume · highest-priced sale: $945,000, a larger-lot single-family home on the Block 7 replat, recorded March 2026 · community median sale price $360,000 across all 57 sales. In the last 12 months we tracked 57 Worthington closings parcel by parcel, and every one of them is in the market section below, broken out by neighborhood. Days on market and sale-to-list ratio come only from the Southwest Florida MLS: over the last 12 months (closings 29 Sep 2025 to 29 Sep 2026), the 57 Worthington homes sold through the MLS spent a median of 99 days on market and closed at a median 93.8% of their final list price.
For luxury Worthington sellers: Premium marketing, cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion plus off-market capability when needed. On a golf-course estate home on Bridgeford Avenue, Rochester Court or Tonbridge Court, the fairway view is the product, and drone footage of the Ron Garl routing sells it.

Living in Worthington Country Club means a gated, lake-laced golf neighborhood of 799 homes where every owner is a club member, the clubhouse is the social center, and I-75 is under a mile from the gate. It suits golfers, tennis and bocce players, and seasonal owners who want bundled club life at a lower entry price.
The club describes itself as a “member-owned bundled golf community, where every homeowner has golf privileges,” and as a gated community “designed around several scenic lakes” (Worthington Country Club, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The community map in the club’s purchaser’s packet is titled “Worthington Country Club, 300 Acres” and shows 16 numbered lakes threaded through the golf routing (Purchaser’s Packet, p. 1, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Three things define daily life here.
The club is the town square. A 37,500-square-foot, three-phase renovation by Club Design Group rebuilt the pool cabana and fitness and activities center and renovated the clubhouse lobby, meeting rooms, library, bar and grille, dining room, kitchen, veranda and pro shop, all while the club stayed open (Club Design Group, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The winter calendar runs wine dinners, trivia nights, dinner dances, tennis socials, bocce leagues and member-guest tournaments (The Eagle, Spring 2026, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
It is a golf community that actually plays golf. Members logged 45,042 rounds through 2025 year to date, 1,745 more than the same point in 2024 (The Eagle, Winter 2026, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). That is roughly 56 rounds per residence per year.
It is seasonal, and the rules reflect that. Leases must run at least 30 consecutive days except in February, and a home’s club privileges can transfer to tenants at most four times a calendar year (Rental Forms, rev. 6/15/25, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Owners who lease out hand their club privileges to the tenant for the lease term.
The home stock is uniform in age and varied in type. All 799 residences first appeared on the Lee County tax roll between 1990 and 1995, and they fall into three product families the club itself names: estate homes, villas, and condominiums and carriage homes (Worthington CC Real Estate, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). That means every buyer here is buying a 30-plus-year-old home, and the questions that matter most are roof age, window and door protection, and what each association has done to its buildings. We cover all three below.
Worthington is one of more than a dozen named communities we cover in and around Bonita Springs. For the city-level picture of schools, beaches, taxes and every other neighborhood, start at our Bonita Springs real estate guide.
Worthington Country Club recorded 57 qualified sales in the 12 months from September 2025 through August 2026, totaling $22.04 million, at a community-wide median of $360,000. Waterford condos traded at a $199,750 median, Wedgewood condos at $380,000, and single-family estate and villa homes at $590,000, with a high of $945,000.
Data updated: September 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser, Last Qualified Sale and Comparable Sales layers, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)
These are recorded deed prices from the Lee County Property Appraiser, counted once per parcel at its latest qualified sale, for every one of the 799 residential parcels whose legal description places it in Worthington Country Club, Waterford or Wedgewood in Section 5, Township 48S, Range 26E (LeePA parcel layer, LeePA Last Qualified Sale layer, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). “Qualified” is the property appraiser’s test for an arm’s-length sale. The county does not record days on market, list price or concessions; those come only from the MLS.
Product | Qualified sales (Sep 2025 to Aug 2026) | Median | Low | High | Median note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Single-family, estate and villa lots | 20 | $590,000 | $360,000 | $945,000 | Even n, mean of $580,000 and $600,000 |
Waterford condos (Amberley Court, Worthington Way, Cavendish Court) | 24 | $199,750 | $100,000 | $265,000 | Even n, mean of $199,500 and $200,000 |
Wedgewood condos (Sherburne, Fountain) | 13 | $380,000 | $300,000 | $450,000 | Odd n |
All Worthington | 57 | $360,000 | $100,000 | $945,000 | Odd n |
The $100,000 low is a single Waterford-Worthington Way condo deed recorded in June 2026 that the county marked qualified; it sits $80,000 below any other Worthington sale in the window and should not be read as a market rate.
We widen the window to 24 months here so that most associations reach ten sales, which is the minimum at which we will print a median. Where an association still falls short, we list the sales instead.
Association | Qualified sales, 24 months | Median | Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Larger-lot single-family (Blocks 1, 2, 7 and 10: Bridgeford Ave, Rochester Ct, Tonbridge Ct) | 18 | $787,500 | $580,000 to $975,000 | Even n, mean of $775,000 and $800,000 |
Villa-lot single-family (Blocks 3 to 6, 8 and 9: Southampton Dr) | 23 | $537,500 | $200,000 to $720,000 | Odd n |
Waterford Amberley Court (condo) | 13 | $221,250 | $160,000 to $308,000 | Odd n |
Waterford-Worthington Way (condo) | 10 | $247,500 | $100,000 to $319,900 | Even n, mean of $245,000 and $250,000 |
Waterford-Cavendish Court (condo) | 11 | $200,000 | $162,000 to $330,000 | Odd n |
Wedgewood-Sherburne (condo) | 13 | $401,000 | $300,000 to $455,000 | Odd n |
Wedgewood-Fountain (condo) | 9 | No median printed | $350,000 to $450,000 | Too thin for a median. The nine sales: $390,000 (Sep 2024), $375,000 (Mar 2025), $377,500 (Apr 2025), $410,000 (May 2025), $440,000 (Nov 2025), $395,000 (Dec 2025), $450,000 (Apr 2026), $374,000 (Jul 2026), $350,000 (Aug 2026) |
Why the split between larger-lot and villa-lot homes matters. The plat does not label any lot “villa.” We split the 279 platted lots by block, because Blocks 1, 2, 7 and 10 carry lots of roughly 10,000 square feet with homes of 1,900 to 3,400 square feet, while Blocks 3 to 6, 8 and 9 carry lots of roughly 7,000 to 7,500 square feet with homes of 1,600 to 1,900 square feet (LeePA parcel data, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The split is our reading of the recorded plats, not a label the county or the MLS carries, and it is exactly why portal medians for “Worthington” mislead: they blend a $200,000 condo and a $900,000 golf-course estate into one number.
The property appraiser’s current just values tell the same story in a different unit. Median just value runs about $638,000 to $665,000 for the larger-lot homes, about $447,000 to $454,000 for villa-lot homes, about $210,000 to $212,000 for Waterford condos and about $285,000 to $288,000 for Wedgewood condos (LeePA Just Value layer, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Just value is a tax-roll estimate as of January 1 and typically trails market prices; it is useful for comparing neighborhoods inside Worthington, not for pricing a home.
Bonita Springs is a city of 57,634 people (Census estimate for July 2025), where 44.2% of residents are 65 or older and the median owner-occupied home value in the 2020 to 2024 American Community Survey is $497,100 (U.S. Census QuickFacts, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Worthington’s $360,000 community median sits below that city figure because 520 of its 799 residences are condominiums, while its single-family homes trade above it.
Turnover is steady rather than hot: 57 recorded sales against 799 residences is about 7% of the community changing hands in a year.
Your association’s recorded sales, not the Worthington-wide median, set your price, and pricing by association is how McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, list every Worthington home.

Worthington Country Club was platted and incorporated in 1990, opened its golf course in 1991, was built out between 1990 and 1995, and passed from developer control to the residents in 1994. Since then the owners, through the Worthington Master Association, Inc., have owned the course and run the club themselves.
The public record lays out the chronology.
What the record does not say. The Sunbiz filings name the developer-era principals but not a parent developer brand, and we found no primary source that does. The owner-dedicator on the Plat Book 45 plat, recorded with the Lee County Clerk, is the record that would settle it. We do not publish a developer name we cannot source. You will also see a “$9 million” renovation figure on some real estate sites; we could not find it in any club document or news source, so we do not repeat it as fact. The club-published figure is $5.5 million for the golf course.
Worthington covers about 300 acres: roughly 191 acres of golf course, lakes and common area owned by the master association, about 60 acres of platted single-family and villa lots, and about 49 acres across five condominium common-element parcels. It holds 799 residences on 16 lakes, with a main gate on Bonita Grande Drive and a residents-only north gate.
The acreage comes from the property appraiser’s GIS. The master-owned parcel described as “golf course and maintenance area and common element” measures 8,322,409 square feet, or about 191.1 acres, and its owner of record is Worthington Master Assn Inc (LeePA parcel 10354349, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Adding the platted lots (about 59.5 acres) and the condo common-element parcels (Waterford I to III 10.35 acres, Waterford IV and V 8.36 acres, Waterford VI and VII 6.92 acres, Wedgewood I to III 10.60 acres, Wedgewood IV to VI 13.16 acres) gives roughly 300 acres, which matches the “300 Acres” title on the club’s own community map. That total is our sum, and our own GIS outline of the golf parcel plus every residential parcel measures the same 300 acres; the county does not publish a single acreage figure for the community.
Where it sits. The clubhouse is at 13550 Worthington Way, Bonita Springs, FL 34135. The U.S. Census geocoder places it inside the City of Bonita Springs, in Lee County, ZIP code 34135 and Census Tract 503.24 (Census Geocoder, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Worthington Way, a private road, meets Bonita Grande Drive about 0.3 miles south of Bonita Beach Road, and the I-75 Exit 116 on-ramp is about 0.6 miles west along Bonita Beach Road from there. The community lies south of Bonita Beach Road and just east of I-75.
Two gates. The purchaser’s packet map shows the “Main Entrance” on Bonita Grande Drive and an “Owners Entrance” on Bonita Beach Road. The north gate is for residents only; visitors and vendors use the main gate and are called in (Purchaser’s Packet, Quick List, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
The build-out is complete. There are no vacant residential lots on the tax roll and no developer inventory. Every purchase in Worthington is a resale, which is why the county’s recorded sales above are a complete picture of what has traded.
A note on the name. A different “Worthington Commerce Park” appears in Lee County records in another township; it is not part of this community. And “Worthington Country Club” is also the name of clubs in Ohio, Minnesota and Massachusetts. This page is about the one in Bonita Springs, Florida.
Worthington is governed by one master association and nine neighborhood associations. The Worthington Master Association, Inc. owns the golf course and common areas, runs the club, and collects master dues from all 799 residences. Each home also belongs to one of nine neighborhood associations. There is no community development district and no separate club corporation.
The master association. Worthington Master Association, Inc. is a Florida not-for-profit corporation, document N36503, FEI 65-0158630, filed February 7, 1990, status active, with a 2026 annual report filed February 10, 2026 and its principal address at 13500 Worthington Way (Sunbiz, N36503, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Its 2026 budget and fee schedule are issued under its own name and cover restaurant, cabana, pro shop and golf course operations (2026 Fee Schedule and Budget, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). We found no “Worthington Country Club, Inc.” on file with the state. The club and the master association are the same body.
It is self-managed. The purchaser’s packet lists the payee as “Worthington Country Club, Master (Self-Managed),” and an on-site HOA office at 13550 Worthington Way serves all nine neighborhood associations, open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with an after-hours emergency line (Purchaser’s Packet, pp. 3 and 9). Seven of the nine neighborhood associations list the HOA office’s community association manager as their registered agent on Sunbiz. That is unusual for a community this size and means one staff serves every layer, rather than a patchwork of outside management firms.
The nine neighborhood associations. The club’s real estate page describes “nine distinct local communities within our gates” (Worthington CC Real Estate). All nine are active Florida not-for-profit corporations: Worthington Single Family Homes Association I (N40684) and II (N50676), Worthington Villas Association I (N40686) and II (N50675), Waterford Amberley Court Condominium Association (N47906), Waterford-Worthington Way (N92000000099), Waterford-Cavendish Court (N94000001381), Wedgewood-Sherburne (N47908) and Wedgewood-Fountain (N93000001820). Each is detailed in the neighborhoods section below.
Earlier associations were merged away. The Waterford I to III and Wedgewood I to III condo common elements are still recorded to “Waterford Commons Assn I” and “Wedgewood Commons Assoc I,” and the Wedgewood IV to VI common element to “Wedgewood Commons Assn II,” but every one of those “Commons” entities shows as merged on Sunbiz, with merger filings on the successor associations between 1997 and 1999 (Sunbiz search, Waterford Commons; Sunbiz search, Wedgewood Commons, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). A title search on a Waterford or Wedgewood unit will surface those older names; they are the same buildings under their current associations.
No CDD. Lee County’s list of special districts and community development districts includes no Worthington district (Lee County Special Districts, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). There is no CDD bond assessment on a Worthington tax bill.
Taxing district. All 804 Worthington residential and condominium common-element parcels sit in Lee County taxing district 017, “City of Bonita Springs / Bonita Springs Fire,” per the LeePA parcel fabric. The 2025 total millage for that district is 12.7970 mills, including Lee County general revenue at 3.7623, the two school levies at 5.3190 combined, the City of Bonita Springs at 0.8470 and the Bonita Springs Fire District at 1.9466 (LeePA 2025 Taxing District Millage Book, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The 2026 rates had not been posted when we checked.
Owning in Worthington in 2026 costs $13,058 a year in master dues ($1,088 a month), plus neighborhood association dues of $2,612 to $7,712 a year depending on which of the nine associations your home is in, plus a $1,000 annual food and beverage minimum. A buyer also pays a one-time $12,500 capital contribution at closing.
Every figure in this section comes from two club documents: the 2026 Fee Schedule and approved Master budget and the 2026 HOA Fee Schedule, both retrieved 24 Sep 2026.
Line | 2026 annual | 2026 monthly | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
Operating dues | $8,957 | $746 | Golf course, club operations, gate, common areas, staff |
Business capital | $501 | $42 | Operating capital for club businesses |
Capital reserves | $3,600 | $300 | Funded reserves for replacement of club assets |
Golf course renovation dues | $0 | $0 | No renovation assessment line in 2026 |
Total master dues | $13,058 | $1,088 | Full golf, tennis, fitness and social membership for the household |
The 2025 total was $12,910 ($1,076 a month), so master dues rose $148, or 1.1%, into 2026. The 2024 approved schedule showed $11,435 total dues per unit, which is the figure you will still see quoted on older pages.
Neighborhood association | Product | 2026 dues as billed | Annualized |
|---|---|---|---|
Worthington Villas Association II | Villa homes | $653 per quarter | $2,612 |
Worthington Villas Association I | Villa homes | $249 per month | $2,988 |
Worthington Single Family Homes Association I | Estate homes | $780 per quarter | $3,120 |
Worthington Single Family Homes Association II | Estate homes | $285 per month | $3,420 |

Waterford-Worthington Way | Condominium | $1,547 per quarter | $6,188 |
Waterford-Cavendish Court | Condominium | $1,928 per quarter | $7,712 |
Condominium dues run higher than single-family dues because condo associations insure and maintain the buildings, roofs and exteriors, and several run their own pools. Villa and estate associations cover grounds and common items, while the owner insures and maintains the house.

Property taxes are separate: Worthington is in Lee County taxing district 017 at 12.7970 mills for 2025, applied to taxable value. There is no CDD assessment. On August 18, 2026, Bonita Springs voters approved up to $35 million in general-obligation bonds, maturing within 30 years and “payable from ad valorem property taxes,” to buy the Bonita Estero Rail Trail corridor, so expect a small new debt millage on future bills (City of Bonita Springs official ballot, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
What is not published. Condo master insurance policies, deductibles and any building-level special assessments sit in each condominium association’s own budget and minutes, which the club does not post publicly. Ask for the current budget, reserve schedule and the last two years of board minutes from the specific association before you write an offer. The club’s bylaws and CC&Rs sit behind the member login and were not reviewed for this guide.
A buyer new to Worthington purchasing a Wedgewood-Sherburne condo in 2026 would carry $13,058 in master dues, $5,700 in neighborhood dues and a $1,000 food and beverage minimum, or $19,758 a year before property tax, insurance and golf carts. They would pay a $12,500 capital contribution and a $150 resale application fee at closing. The same buyer on a Villas II home would carry $16,670 a year in the same three lines.
You will see Worthington listings with master HOA fields of $647 a month and others at $1,088 a month, and some that fold neighborhood dues or club fees into one line. The MLS lets each listing agent enter fees in their own way and does not force a split between master dues, neighborhood dues and the food and beverage minimum. The club’s published 2026 master dues are $13,058 a year, which is $1,088 a month. Use the two club schedules above, not a listing’s HOA field, to budget.
Worthington holds nine neighborhood associations: two estate-home associations, two villa associations, three Waterford condominium associations and two Wedgewood condominium associations. Together they hold 279 single-family and villa homes and 520 condominium units, all built from 1990 to 1995. Your neighborhood sets your second layer of dues, your building type and your price band.
Unit counts for the five condominium associations come directly from the recorded condo phases on the county roll. The single-family and villa associations share the 279 platted lots; we map them to plat blocks from each association’s filing date, lot sizes and dues, a reading that is ours rather than a figure the club publishes. Every one of the 279 platted lots is improved, and the county codes 255 of them as golf-course lots and 24 as lake lots (LeePA parcel fabric, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).

The estate homes are the top of Worthington’s market: detached houses on roughly 10,000-square-foot lots along Bridgeford Avenue, Rochester Court and Tonbridge Court, from 2 bedrooms and 2 baths up to 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. County examples include 13001 Bridgeford Ave (built 1994, 2,637 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths), 28501 Rochester Ct (1994, 2,128 square feet) and 13850 Tonbridge Ct (1993, 2,638 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 3 baths) (LeePA, 13001 Bridgeford Ave; LeePA, 28501 Rochester Ct; LeePA, 13850 Tonbridge Ct, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Single Family I was incorporated November 6, 1990 alongside the original plat; Single Family II followed on September 2, 1992 with the replats. The highest recorded Worthington sale in the last 12 months, $945,000 in March 2026, was a Block 7 replat home.

Worthington’s villas are detached homes on smaller lots of roughly 7,000 to 7,500 square feet, mostly along Southampton Drive, with 1,600 to 1,900 square feet of living area and 2 or 3 bedrooms. The county classifies every platted lot, villa and estate alike, as single-family residential, which supports reading the villas as detached rather than attached. An example is 13330 Southampton Dr, built 1991 with 1,743 square feet. Villas I carries the amended and restated articles of February 10, 2011 and Villas II those of April 5, 2012 (Sunbiz, N40686, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Villas II has the lowest neighborhood dues in Worthington at $2,612 a year.

Waterford Amberley Court is the original Waterford condominium: 120 units across Waterford I (32 units), II (48) and III (40), recorded in Official Records Books 2193, 2253 and 2288 and built 1991 to 1993. Units run 1,075 to 1,311 square feet, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths or 3 bedrooms and 2 baths; 13010 Amberley Ct #212, built 1992, is a 1,311-square-foot 3 and 2 (LeePA, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The association absorbed the older Waterford Commons associations by merger on January 27, 1999 and was reinstated on December 12, 2022 (Sunbiz, N47906, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). It traded at a $221,250 median over 24 months and runs its own pool, cabana and pickleball court.

Waterford-Worthington Way holds 92 units in Waterford IV (36) and V (56), built 1994 and 1995 along Worthington Way itself, with the same 1,075 to 1,311-square-foot floor plans as the rest of Waterford. 13640 Worthington Way #1904 is a 1,075-square-foot unit first on the roll in 1995. Its amended and restated articles date to September 12, 2022 (Sunbiz, N92000000099, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Neighborhood dues are $6,188 a year and the association has its own pool cabana.

Waterford-Cavendish Court is the newest and smallest Waterford association, with 72 units in Waterford VI and VII along Cavendish Court, built 1994 and 1995, at 1,075 to 1,222 square feet. It carries the highest neighborhood dues in Worthington at $7,712 a year. It merged its predecessor entity on December 31, 1997 and restated its articles May 20, 2013 (Sunbiz, N94000001381, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). In the last 12 months all seven of its sales landed between $180,000 and $225,000, the tightest price band in the community.

Wedgewood-Sherburne holds 116 units in Wedgewood I (40), II (40) and III (36) on Sherburne Circle, built 1991 to 1993. Wedgewood units are larger than Waterford’s, at 1,446 to 1,576 square feet; 13205 Sherburne Cir #204 is a 1,522-square-foot unit built in 1991 (LeePA, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The association restated its articles August 11, 2022 (Sunbiz, N47908, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Its $401,000 24-month median is the highest of the five condo associations.

Ready to act? Three Worthington guides sit beside this one: how we sell a home in Worthington Country Club, what your Worthington home is worth, and our Worthington buyer’s guide.
Worthington’s club membership is bundled: buying a home makes you a full member, with golf, tennis, bocce, fitness, pool and dining privileges for the household, and there is no equity fee, no initiation fee and no membership waitlist. You pay master dues of $13,058 a year and a one-time $12,500 capital contribution instead.
The club’s membership page says that as a “member-owned bundled community, Worthington eliminates equity fees” (Worthington CC Membership, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). There are no separate social, sports or golf tiers published; the categories are owner-members, renters who receive the owner’s transferred privileges during a lease, and guests (2026 Fee Schedule). Non-residents cannot join.
What that means in money. The approved 2026 master budget shows total income of $14,443,999, of which $7,156,644 is dues revenue; $7,156,644 divided by the $8,957 operating dues line is about 799, matching the residence count exactly. Budgeted expenses total $10,203,237, including $2,854,923 for the golf course, with $400,000 to business capital and $2,876,400 transferred to capital reserves. Restaurant revenue is budgeted at $1,449,599, the Cabana at $519,240 and the pro shop at $1,748,896.
Why bundled matters to a seller. In a bundled club, the buyer pool is golfers and club people who have already decided they want a club; a buyer who does not play still pays full dues. That shrinks the pool compared with an optional-club neighborhood, and it is why pricing a Worthington home against non-golf Bonita inventory by square foot fails. The comparison that works is Worthington against the other bundled clubs, which we lay out in the comparison sections below.
Renters. When a home is leased, the owner’s club privileges pass to the tenant for the lease term, and a property’s privileges can transfer at most four times a calendar year (Rental Forms).
Summer reciprocity. In 2025 Worthington joined a group of clubs offering members summer reciprocal golf at $35 a round, and the program is planned again for summer 2026 (The Eagle, Summer 2025; The Eagle, Winter 2026, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The club’s 2026 reciprocal dining list names 76 clubs, 72 of them active, reaching as far north as Charlotte and Sarasota counties.
Worthington’s course is a private 18-hole, par-72 layout that opened in 1991 on a Gordon G. Lewis routing, was redesigned by Chip Powell in 2002 and renovated by Ron Garl in 2018. It plays from 4,574 to 6,730 yards over eight tee sets, and its signature is a peninsula 18th green.
The 2018 Garl renovation. Greens were rebuilt to USGA specifications and regrassed with TifEagle Bermuda, fairways were regrassed with Celebration Bermuda, and a new irrigation and pumping system went in. Water hazards on holes 11, 15 and 17 were filled and flattened for playability, several greens were enlarged, natural-sand areas were added on holes 1, 4, 10, 17 and 18, and the front shelf of the 18th green was lowered two feet to create a split-level green (Golf Guide, May 15, 2019, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The club describes “Celebration grass fairways, Tiff-Eagle greens, and state-of-the-art capillary bunkers” and a digital irrigation and drainage system that monitors conditions “down to a single square foot” (Worthington CC Golf, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).

Yardages from the GolfPass scorecard; ratings and slopes from the Florida State Golf Association, retrieved 24 Sep 2026. GolfPass lists the Blue/White men’s rating as 68.8; we use the FSGA figure.
Signature holes. From the Black tees the longest holes are the par-5 11th at 534 yards and the par-5 8th at 528; the longest par 3 is the 226-yard 16th; the 18th is a 370-yard par 4 onto the peninsula green.
Practice and instruction. There is a driving range, a practice bunker, a chipping area and a putting green, all enlarged in 2018, with new range hitting mats installed in late 2025 that let players tee anywhere on the surface. The PGA staff use Trackman for fitting and instruction, and the club states “there is no additional charge for the Trackman” (Worthington CC Golf). The pro shop offers fittings, demo days, lessons and member pricing (Pro Shop, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Recent and planned course work. In 2025 the club expanded tees on holes 5 and 7, realigned and replaced cart paths on those holes and renovated the on-course restrooms. Planned for 2026: tee expansions on holes 12 and 16, rebuilt greenside bunkers on holes 1 and 4, and phase one of a new maintenance facility (The Eagle, Spring 2026; The Eagle, Winter 2026).
Summer aeration. The course closes twice each summer for 18 days of aeration; the 2026 closures were June 1 to 18 and August 3 to 20.
Tournaments. The 2026 season ran a Ladies Club Championship, Men’s Club Championship, Men’s Member-Guest, Couples Member-Guests, a Ladies Member-Guest, a Bloody Mary Open, a Women’s Invitational and a Men’s Invitational (Golf Events and Tournaments, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).

Worthington has neither a marina nor private beach access. It is an inland golf community, and its 16 lakes are not for recreation: swimming, boating and fishing in them are prohibited, with one lake behind the pro shop set aside for radio-controlled model boats. The nearest public beach, Bonita Beach Park, is about 14 minutes away by car.
The lake rules come from the club’s Quick List in the purchaser’s packet (Purchaser’s Packet). For boaters, the practical answer is a slip or dry storage elsewhere; Bonita Springs communities with their own private Gulf beach parks include Bonita Bay and Pelican Landing. That is the trade: Worthington’s all-in cost is a fraction of those clubs’, and the Gulf is a short drive rather than a shuttle.
Worthington’s racquet program runs on five Har-Tru clay tennis courts equipped for day and night play, plus three bocce courts; the master club does not yet have its own pickleball courts, but four neighborhood associations run private pickleball courts for their owners, and new club pickleball courts are planned for 2027 to 2028.
Tennis. The club lists five Har-Tru courts “equipped for both day and night play,” with clinics, team practices, doubles leagues and daily round robins (Worthington CC Membership); a 2019 profile counted three of the five as lit. Courts 1 to 4 were resurfaced in 2025. The program fielded 14 league teams in the 2026 season, and Worthington won the Bonita Beach Road Tennis Club Challenge for a second straight year (The Eagle, Winter 2026). Earlier descriptions of “ten lighted courts,” including an earlier version of this page, do not match the club’s current count; five is correct.
Pickleball. The club’s “Phase 2 improvements,” planned for 2027 to 2028, include “the addition of new pickleball courts,” along with parking and tennis upgrades (The Eagle, Spring 2026). Until then, Wedgewood-Fountain, Waterford-Cavendish Court, Waterford Amberley Court and Wedgewood-Sherburne each run pickleball courts for their own owners. Member teams play travel leagues, and a women’s 3.0 team won gold in the US Open Pickleball Winter League Red Division in February 2026.
Bocce. Three courts sit at the east end of the club campus. In fall 2025 the wooden sideboards were replaced with a concrete curb and composite boards, channel drains were added and the bocce restrooms were renovated. Leagues include women’s and men’s travel teams, a men’s league, a women’s league, an association league and a one-on-one club championship.
Worthington’s Activity and Fitness Center has a cardio and strength room, an exercise studio for yoga, Pilates and cardio classes, multipurpose rooms and full locker rooms, open 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, and the club partners with Fit Forever for classes, personal training and on-site spa services. A resort-style pool and spa sit beside the Cabana.
Hours and rules come from the Purchaser’s Packet, pp. 37 to 39: the pool and spa are open dawn to dusk, there is no lifeguard and no night swimming, and children under 12 may not use the spa. Unaccompanied guests may not use the fitness facilities before noon from December 15 to March 31. The Fit Forever partnership is on the club’s membership page. Beyond the club pool, five neighborhood associations run their own pool cabanas: Wedgewood-Fountain, Waterford-Cavendish Court, Waterford Amberley Court, Wedgewood-Sherburne and Waterford-Worthington Way.
The Cabana itself is being rebuilt. Members approved a full renovation designed by Peacock and Lewis, with demolition and construction targeted from late April 2026 and the pool kept open where possible (The Eagle, Spring 2026). The cost was not published in the documents we reviewed. Our team covered the 2025 upgrade announcement, which the club made without a special assessment, in our post on Worthington’s amenity upgrades.
Worthington members dine at four venues in the clubhouse and Cabana: the poolside Cabana with a bar and screened outdoor dining, the Pub, the Windsor Dining Room, and the Crown Room for private parties. The Windsor Ballroom seats up to 200 for weddings and events. Every residence carries a $1,000 annual food and beverage minimum.
The venue list is on the club’s membership page; the ballroom’s inlaid hardwood dance floor, chandeliers, vaulted ceilings and lake and golf views, and its 10 to 200-guest capacity, are on the events page, retrieved 24 Sep 2026. Meeting and game rooms include the Crown, Brighton and Somerset rooms in the clubhouse and the Dorset, Stafford and Picadilly rooms in the Activity Center. New clubhouse and Cabana menus with more gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian and health-conscious options launched in spring 2026.
Reciprocal dining. The club’s 2026 reciprocal list covers 76 clubs, 72 of them active, from Lee and Collier counties north to Babcock National in Charlotte County and Sarasota National in Sarasota County, booked through the club’s reception desk at (239) 495-2278. One Worthington membership reaches 72 active club dining rooms in 2026.
Worthington has come through the major storms of the last decade with no documented flood event of its own in the public record. It sits inland in Lee County evacuation Zone C and storm-surge zone 3, which was not ordered to evacuate for Hurricane Ian in 2022 or Hurricane Milton in 2024. Its main exposure is wind, not surge.
Evacuation and surge zone. The Lee County Property Appraiser’s hazard layer returns evacuation Zone C and surge zone 3 at six points spread across the community, from the clubhouse to Cavendish Court (LeePA Evacuation Zones layer, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Lee County describes Zone C as areas where “a large and/or powerful hurricane from the Gulf may require evacuations for surge and/or wind,” evacuated later than Zones A and B (Lee County Emergency Management, Zone C, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Hurricane Ian, September 28, 2022. Ian made landfall near Cayo Costa at 130 knots, and the National Hurricane Center recorded maximum inundation of 8 to 12 feet above ground “in Estero, Bonita Beach, Bonita Springs, and North Naples,” the coastal and tidal areas (NHC Tropical Cyclone Report, Ian, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Lee County’s expanded Zone C order on September 27 covered only North Cape Coral and North Fort Myers west of I-75; Bonita Springs Zone C was not named (City of Bonita Springs, Sept. 27, 2022, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Hurricane Irma, September 10, 2017. Irma made its final landfall near Marco Island as a 100-knot storm (NHC Tropical Cyclone Report, Irma). The City of Bonita Springs reports that Irma “hit Bonita Springs as a Category 3 storm and the City was the third hardest hit community in the state according to FEMA,” following the Invest 92L rains of August 23 to 28 (City of Bonita Springs, Stormwater and Drainage, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The Imperial River, about a mile and a half northwest of Worthington, crested at a record 15.32 feet on September 12, 2017 at the National Weather Service gauge (NWS gauge BSIF1, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). The flooding impacts the NWS lists at that stage name Imperial Bonita Estates and homes near the gauge, not Worthington.
Helene and Milton, 2024. Helene brought 3 to 5 feet of surge “from south of Englewood to Bonita Beach,” and Milton 4 to 6 feet from Boca Grande through Bonita Beach, again on the coast (NHC, Helene; NHC, Milton, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). For Milton, Lee County ordered Zones A and B only (Lee County, Oct. 7, 2024).
Wind is the design question. The county’s building-code layer puts all of Worthington at a 160 mph design wind speed (Risk Category II) inside the wind-borne debris region (LeePA Wind layer, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Worthington was built from 1990 to 1995, after Hurricane Andrew but before the first statewide Florida Building Code took effect on March 1, 2002 (Florida Building Commission effective dates, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). In practice that makes roof age, roof-to-wall connections and opening protection the three things that most move a Worthington home’s insurance premium and resale value. A home with a newer roof and impact windows or shutters, documented on a wind-mitigation report, is a different product from one without.
What we did not find: any public record of Worthington streets or homes flooding in Irma, Ian, Helene or Milton. Absence from the record is not proof it never happened, so ask the specific association and the seller’s disclosure.
All of Worthington is in FEMA flood Zone X, “area of minimal flood hazard,” on FIRM panel 12071C0678F, effective August 28, 2008. We tested every one of the roughly 800 residential parcels against FEMA’s high-risk flood polygons, and none falls inside a Special Flood Hazard Area, so lenders will not require flood insurance on the map.
How we tested it. We queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer at six points across the community (the clubhouse, the northwest edge, Waterford, the single-family core, Wedgewood and Cavendish Court) and all six returned Zone X with no base flood elevation (FEMA NFHL, Flood Hazard Zones, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). We then pulled every high-risk polygon in the surrounding area and ran a point-in-polygon test on every Worthington parcel: zero of about 800 fall inside one. The nearest high-risk area is a Zone AE polygon toward the Imperial River, roughly 250 meters from the community’s northwest corner. The property appraiser’s own flood layer returns the same answer (LeePA Flood Zones, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Because Worthington is inside the City of Bonita Springs, LeePA parcel pages say FIRM data “is not available for parcels within a municipality” and point to the city.
Is the map changing? The city notes that new FEMA flood maps took effect November 17, 2022, but Lee County describes that revision as a coastal update, and the Worthington panel was not reissued (City of Bonita Springs, Flood Protection; Lee County, FEMA map changes, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). A revised preliminary Lee County Flood Insurance Study dated December 4, 2025 exists (Lee County FIS), but FEMA’s preliminary map service returned no new flood zones at our six points.
The 50% rule. Florida communities in the NFIP apply a substantial-improvement rule inside Special Flood Hazard Areas: if improvement or repair costs reach 50% of a structure’s market value, the whole building must be brought up to current flood elevation standards. Because no Worthington parcel is in an SFHA, that rule does not bite here the way it does in coastal Bonita neighborhoods. Check with the city’s building department before any major renovation all the same.
Community Rating System. Bonita Springs is a CRS Class 5 community, worth a 25% discount on NFIP flood premiums, per FEMA’s April 1, 2025 list (FEMA CRS Eligible Communities, April 2025). In March 2024 FEMA announced plans to downgrade the city, and on November 21, 2024 the city announced FEMA would maintain the 25% discount after a corrective action plan (City of Bonita Springs, Nov. 21, 2024, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Worthington buyers should expect insurance to turn on wind rather than flood: every home is in Zone X, but every home is a 1990s build in a 160 mph wind zone. Single-family buyers on Citizens need flood coverage above a $400,000 replacement cost in 2026 and at every value from 2027, while condo unit owners are exempt from that mandate.
Citizens’ flood requirement. Florida law phases in a flood-coverage requirement for Citizens personal residential policies: $600,000 and up from January 1, 2024, $500,000 from January 1, 2025, $400,000 from January 1, 2026, and all remaining residential policies from January 1, 2027 (Section 627.351, Florida Statutes, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Citizens confirmed in 2023 that condominium units insured on a unit-owner form “will no longer be required to obtain flood coverage” (Citizens Property Insurance, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Zone X flood policies are typically among the least expensive NFIP policies, and the city’s CRS Class 5 discount applies on top.
Citizens eligibility. A primary residence is not eligible for a new Citizens policy if an authorized private insurer offers comparable coverage at a premium no more than 20% above Citizens’, and the same test applies at renewal (same statute). Shop the private market first.
Wind-mitigation credits. Florida insurers must offer discounts for documented wind-resistant features: roof-deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, roof shape and opening protection. On a 1990s home in a 160 mph zone, a current wind-mitigation inspection is worth ordering before you list or before you close.
Condo milestone inspections and SIRS. Florida’s post-Surfside condo laws require a milestone structural inspection at 30 years, and every 10 years after, for condominium buildings three or more habitable stories tall, and a Structural Integrity Reserve Study for those same buildings, due by December 31, 2025 (Florida DBPR, Condominium Inspections, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). House Bill 913 (2025) tied the rules to habitable stories and raised the reserve-item threshold from $10,000 to $25,000 (Florida Senate, HB 913 summary, retrieved 24 Sep 2026), and the 2022 reforms bar associations from waiving reserves on inspected items from December 1, 2024 (Florida House analysis, SB 4-D).
Does it apply in Worthington? No. Worthington’s condominium buildings are two-story: the Lee County Property Appraiser cost cards place every one of the 520 condo units on floor 1 or floor 2 and class each building as a low-rise condominium, so the milestone and SIRS requirements for buildings of three or more habitable stories do not apply. Ordinary statutory reserves still do, so ask the association for its reserve schedule and budget.
Worthington students are assigned through the School District of Lee County’s choice-based Proximity Plan, not fixed attendance boundaries. The nearest zone schools are Bonita Springs Elementary, about 8 minutes from the gate, Bonita Springs Middle, about 10 minutes, and Bonita Springs High, about 11 minutes. Lee County schools earned a district grade of B for 2025-26.
How assignment works. Lee families rank schools within their proximity attendance zone, and when a school is oversubscribed, seats go by lottery with priority for program needs, siblings, living within 2 miles of the school, and then living nearest to it. The district guarantees a seat at a school with capacity in the proximity zone for families who need bus transportation (Student Enrollment Plan 2026-2027, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Registration for new students for 2027-28 runs November 16, 2026 to January 7, 2027 (Lee Schools Student Enrollment).
The Bonita zones. In the 2026-2027 plan, Elementary Proximity Zone Q contains Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos Park, Spring Creek and Three Oaks elementaries; Middle Zone GG contains Bonita Springs Middle and Three Oaks Middle; and High School South Zone, sub-zone 2, contains Bonita Springs, Cypress Lake, Dunbar, Estero, Fort Myers and South Fort Myers high schools, with Cambridge programs at Bonita Springs High and Estero High.

Grades. Lee County is a B district for 2025-26, with 24 A schools, 29 B schools and, for the first time, no D or F schools; San Carlos Park Elementary, in Zone Q, rose from C to A (School District of Lee County, July 2026; FLDOE School Grades Results, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). We could not retrieve the individual 2025-26 grades for the Bonita schools from the state’s spreadsheet, so we do not print them.
Bonita Springs High opened its first freshman class in August 2017 and its Imperial Parkway campus in August 2018 (Naples Daily News, Aug. 10, 2017, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Charter and private options in 34135 include Bonita Springs Charter School, a K to 8 public charter with 1,287 students in 2024-25 at 25380 Bernwood Dr (NCES, retrieved 24 Sep 2026), and Oak Creek Charter School at 28011 Performance Ln.
Worthington’s own household mix skews older: 44.2% of Bonita Springs residents are 65 or older (Census QuickFacts). The Worthington Country Club Charitable Foundation has supported the Bonita Springs Elementary school-supply drive for 18 years (The Eagle, Summer 2025).
Worthington’s nearest full hospital is NCH North Naples Hospital, 311 licensed beds with a 24-hour emergency department including pediatric emergency care, about 14 minutes from the gate.

First response. The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District runs fire and ambulance service from seven stations, holds an ISO rating of 2, and has its main facility at 27701 Bonita Grande Drive, about 0.6 miles and three minutes from Worthington’s main gate (Bonita Fire, Suppression Operations; City of Bonita Springs, Emergency Services, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Law enforcement is the Lee County Sheriff’s Office.
Worthington’s main gate is about 0.9 miles from the I-75 on-ramp at Exit 116, so a golfer can be on the interstate in about two minutes. Southwest Florida International Airport is about 28 minutes away, Bonita Beach Park about 14 minutes, Coconut Point and Mercato about 18 to 19 minutes, and downtown Naples about 28 minutes.

The biggest change near Worthington is Midtown at Bonita, a 68-acre mixed-use project directly across Bonita Beach Road from the Worthington Way entrance, which broke ground in November 2025 with TJ Maxx and Ulta Beauty announced. Around it, the city has a $17.8 million stormwater and pathway project under contract, and FDOT begins I-75 express lanes this fall.
Midtown at Bonita, next door. The project sits on the northwest corner of Bonita Grande Drive and Bonita Beach Road. The city’s original approval allowed up to 482 multi-family units, 315,000 square feet of commercial space and a six-story, 165-room hotel on about 67 acres (Gulfshore Business, Aug. 1, 2021, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). At the November 2025 groundbreaking, developers described a 68-acre project with “more than 30 acres of preserved green space” and said the first businesses could open by the end of 2026 (WINK News, Nov. 6, 2025). TJ Maxx and Ulta Beauty were announced as tenants in March 2026 (News-Press, Mar. 2, 2026). For Worthington owners that means shopping and dining just across Bonita Beach Road from the community, and more traffic at the Bonita Grande intersection. We cover the project itself on our Midtown at Bonita page.
East Terry Street stormwater and pathway. On April 16, 2026, City Council approved a $17,823,584.04 construction contract with Quality Enterprises USA for stormwater and multi-use pathway work on East Terry Street from Old 41 to Bonita Grande Drive (City of Bonita Springs, April 2026, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
I-75 express lanes. FDOT project 452544-1 widens I-75 for 21 miles from Golden Gate Parkway to Alico Road, adding express lanes in both directions and accelerated congestion-relief lanes between Immokalee Road and Bonita Beach Road (FDOT SWFL Roads, 452544-1, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Construction begins in fall 2026 over about three years, with the Bonita Beach Road to Immokalee Road segment expected first, in early 2027, along with 20 noise-wall segments (WGCU, Sept. 20, 2026). Worthington sits about half a mile east of the interstate, so owners on the community’s west side should follow the noise-wall plans at the public hearing FDOT expects to hold in late 2026.
Old 41 and US 41. FDOT’s preferred plan widens Old 41 to up to four lanes from US 41 in Collier County to Bonita Beach Road at an estimated $83 million (FDOT, 435110-1), and a redesigned US 41 and Bonita Beach Road intersection received design-concept acceptance on July 25, 2025 (FDOT, 444321-1).
Revana Lakes, two miles east. Bonita Springs annexed and rezoned the 204-acre Revana Lakes site on Bonita Beach Road across from Palmira on January 22, 2026, for up to 299 homes and 100,000 square feet of commercial space, with construction starting in 2027 (Gulfshore Business, Jan. 2026, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Regional flood work. Lee County approved a $3.96 million design and permitting contract for a regional flood-control project at the Larry Kiker Preserve and Flint Pen Strand, at the confluence of the Estero River, Halfway Creek and the Imperial River, funded by a $22.7 million Resilient Florida grant, with design running to late 2028 (WGCU, Jan. 20, 2026, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Bonita Estero Rail Trail. Voters approved the $35 million rail-trail bond on August 18, 2026 with 68% of the vote, to buy the city’s share of an 11.4-mile unused rail corridor (WINK News, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).
Daily life in Worthington runs on a staffed main gate, a residents-only north gate, barcodes for owner and renter vehicles, a 25-pound pet limit for owners and no pets for renters, licensed drivers only on golf carts, and 30-day minimum leases outside February. Water and sewer in the city come from Bonita Springs Utilities, a member-owned cooperative.
The details below are from the club’s Purchaser’s Packet, Rental Forms and Open House Guidelines, retrieved 24 Sep 2026.
Worthington’s social calendar is busiest from November through April: monthly wine dinners, trivia nights, dinner dances, a holiday party, member-guest golf events, tennis and bocce leagues and banquets, and a summer member trip. The club’s newsletter, The Eagle, publishes the calendar each season.
The winter and spring 2026 calendar included the Davis Cup tennis event, the Winter Classic, a January social, Three Jills and a Jack, a Ladies Member/Member, two Valentine’s dinner dances and a Members Member/Member, alongside monthly wine dinners, trivia nights, a dinner show and an Easter brunch (The Eagle, Spring 2026; The Eagle, Winter 2026). The fourth annual Holly Jolly Christmas party drew 121 members. A member trip, “Worthington North,” was planned for Fairlee, Vermont.
Giving back. The Worthington Country Club Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3), supports the Bonita Springs Elementary supply drive, Toys for Tots and a Folds of Honor golf tournament that has raised $65,000 or more (The Eagle, Summer 2025).
Worthington and Highland Woods are the closest twins in Bonita Springs: both are bundled clubs of exactly 799 residences on Gordon G. Lewis golf routings. Choose Worthington for lower annual club dues, a Ron Garl-renovated course and quick I-75 access; choose Highland Woods for a lower entry fee, pickleball today and a location off US 41.
Highland Woods Golf and Country Club states that “every owner” is a member of the club, lists 799 residences, and published 2026 club dues of $13,812.79 with a $500 food and beverage minimum and a $10,000 capital contribution (Highland Woods real estate page; Highland Woods 2026 estoppel and fee information, retrieved 24 Sep 2026). Its 18-hole, par-72 Gordon Lewis course opened in 1995 and plays to 6,799 yards (GolfPass, Highland Woods), and the club lists four lighted tennis courts and six pickleball courts (Highland Woods racquet sports, retrieved 24 Sep 2026).

Who should choose which. A buyer who plays four or five rounds a week and drives to Naples or the airport often will usually be happier at Worthington: the club layer costs about $255 less a year, the course was rebuilt in 2018, and I-75 is two minutes from the gate. A buyer who wants pickleball now, lives on the beach side of town, or is watching the entry cost will usually be happier at Highland Woods, which charges $2,500 less at closing and already has six pickleball courts. Both are the same size and the same model, so the tiebreaker is usually the specific house and its neighborhood dues.
Beyond Highland Woods, the communities Worthington buyers most often weigh are Vasari and Bonita National (bundled), Pelican Sound in Estero (bundled, with a higher first-time entry fee), and Spanish Wells and Hunters Ridge (optional golf, lower dues). The right comparison depends on whether you will play enough golf to make bundled dues pay.
Community | Residences | Club model | Latest annual club or golf dues | Entry cost for a buyer | Golf | Our guide |

How to read the table. Bonita National looks cheaper on dues, but it is a 2017-and-later community whose homes carry newer-construction prices, so the saving shows up in the fee line and the cost shows up in the purchase price. Hunters Ridge and Spanish Wells suit a buyer who plays golf a few times a month; at Worthington, that buyer would pay full golf dues for golf they rarely use. Pelican Sound’s $20,300 first-time initiation is the highest one-time bundled fee in this set. Among Bonita’s lower-cost bundled clubs, Worthington’s combination of a recent course renovation, a Zone X flood map and interstate access is its case.
Want the whole Bonita map? Our Bonita Springs guide covers every community in the city, and the nearby Pine Haven guide covers the older non-golf neighborhood a few minutes west.
Worthington’s strengths are its price, its bundled club with a 2018 course renovation, its Zone X flood map across all 799 homes, and its location under a mile from I-75. Its weaknesses are age, since every home dates from 1990 to 1995, full golf dues whether or not you play, no beach club, and new traffic from Midtown at Bonita.
Selling a Worthington home well means pricing it against its own association, not against a ZIP-code median, and marketing it to bundled-club buyers who are comparing Worthington with Highland Woods and Vasari. McGreevy and Comisar have over $900 million in personal sales and are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008.
If you’re searching for the best Worthington listing agent, or thinking, “I need to sell my house in Worthington…”, start with the numbers. In the last 12 months, 57 Worthington homes recorded qualified sales totaling $22.04 million. Estate homes on the larger lots have sold for a $787,500 median over 24 months, villa homes for $537,500, Wedgewood condos from $300,000 to $455,000 and Waterford condos from $160,000 to $330,000. A Worthington seller’s biggest risk is being priced by an agent who blends those five markets into one.
Why sellers hire McGreevy and Comisar:
As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate across Southwest Florida, and we bring that database of buyers to every Worthington listing.
Worthington sales, last 12 months (county-recorded, Sep 2025 to Aug 2026): 57 qualified sales · $22.04 million total · community median $360,000 · single-family median $590,000 (20 sales) · Waterford median $199,750 (24 sales) · Wedgewood median $380,000 (13 sales) · high $945,000.

(239) 898-6072, text or call. Confidential conversations welcome.
Who pays the $12,500 capital contribution? The 2026 fee schedule lists it as due from the new owner; any different split is a negotiated term of your contract.
Does the club approve my buyer? Every sale requires an HOA Certificate of Approval from the neighborhood association.
Can I sell while my home is leased? Yes, subject to the lease; the tenant holds the club privileges until the lease ends, which buyers will want to know.
Do I need a new roof to sell? No, but a roof’s age drives the buyer’s insurance quote on a 1990s home, so roof documentation matters.
How long will it take? County records do not track days on market, but the Southwest Florida MLS does: across 57 Worthington closings from 29 Sep 2025 to 29 Sep 2026, the median was 99 days, with Waterford Amberley Court fastest at 52 days (11 sales) and the 12 Wedgewood condo sales slowest at about 114 days. We pull the current figure for your association when we price your home.

These are the questions buyers ask most about Worthington Country Club, drawn from Google’s People Also Ask results, search suggestions and the gaps other guides leave open. Every answer is short, self-contained, sourced in the sections above and current to September 2026.
Worthington Country Club is a gated, bundled golf community of 799 residences on about 300 acres in the City of Bonita Springs, Florida, at 13550 Worthington Way, just south of Bonita Beach Road and east of I-75. It was built between 1990 and 1995, and every homeowner is a member of its private 18-hole club.
Yes. Worthington describes itself as a member-owned bundled golf community where every homeowner has golf privileges, and it charges no equity fee. Club membership comes with every home and is paid through the $13,058 annual master dues for 2026.
Bundled clubs in and around Bonita Springs include Worthington, Highland Woods, Vasari and Bonita National, with Pelican Sound a few minutes north in Estero. Spanish Wells and Hunters Ridge offer optional golf instead. The comparison table above sets out dues and entry fees for each.
Worthington’s 2026 master dues are $13,058 per residence, or $1,088 a month, made up of $8,957 operating dues, $501 business capital and $3,600 capital reserves. Neighborhood association dues of $2,612 to $7,712 a year and a $1,000 food and beverage minimum are added on top.
A buyer new to Worthington pays a one-time $12,500 capital contribution at closing in 2026, plus a $150 resale application fee at most condo associations. An existing Worthington owner buying another home in the community pays $1,306 instead. There is no equity or initiation fee.
No. Worthington has no initiation or equity fee. The one-time charge is the 2026 capital contribution of $12,500 for a new owner, which funds the club’s capital needs rather than buying an equity share.
In 2026, Villas II pays $2,612 a year, Villas I $2,988, Single Family I $3,120, Single Family II $3,420, Waterford Amberley Court $4,860, Wedgewood-Fountain $5,080, Wedgewood-Sherburne $5,700, Waterford-Worthington Way $6,188 and Waterford-Cavendish Court $7,712, all on top of the $13,058 master dues.
Listing agents enter fees into the MLS in different ways, and the MLS does not force a split between master dues, neighborhood dues and club minimums. The club’s published 2026 master dues are $13,058 a year, which is $1,088 a month. Budget from the club’s 2026 fee schedules, not from a listing’s HOA field.
Worthington has 279 detached single-family and villa homes on platted lots and 520 condominium units in the Waterford and Wedgewood buildings. The club groups them as estate homes, villas, and condominiums and carriage homes. Estate homes run roughly 1,900 to 3,400 square feet, villas 1,600 to 1,900 and condos 1,075 to 1,576.
Worthington’s nine associations are Single Family Homes I and II, Villas I and II, Waterford Amberley Court, Waterford-Worthington Way, Waterford-Cavendish Court, Wedgewood-Sherburne and Wedgewood-Fountain. Each has its own dues, and the condo associations run their own buildings and pools.
In the 12 months from September 2025 through August 2026, Worthington recorded 57 qualified sales at a $360,000 median. Waterford condos sold at a $199,750 median, Wedgewood condos at $380,000 and single-family homes at $590,000, with a high of $945,000, per Lee County Property Appraiser records.
Recent recorded sales include a $945,000 estate home on the Block 7 replat in March 2026, villa homes from $360,000 to $720,000, Wedgewood-Sherburne condos from $300,000 to $420,000 and Waterford Amberley Court condos from $160,000 to $247,000, all in the 12 months through August 2026.
Every Worthington residence first appeared on the Lee County tax roll between 1990 and 1995. The course opened in 1991, the condominium phases were recorded from 1991 to 1995, and residents took control of the community from the developer in 1994.
Gordon G. Lewis designed the original 1991 course, Chip Powell redesigned it in 2002 and Ron Garl renovated it in 2018. The club’s own listing credits Ron Garl with the current course and describes it as a 5.5 million dollar renovation.
The course is par 72 and plays from 4,574 yards from the Red tees to 6,730 yards from the Black tees, which carry a 72.2 rating and 136 slope. There are eight tee sets in all, and the signature hole is the peninsula 18th.
Yes. In 2026 cart owners pay a $1,875 annual trail fee per household, private cart storage at the club is $450 a year, and the community cart fee for driving on the roads is $350. Golfers without a cart pay $25 per player per round or $2,125 a year for an annual cart lease. Only licensed drivers may drive carts.
The master club does not yet have its own pickleball courts; new club courts are part of Phase 2 improvements planned for 2027 to 2028. Four neighborhood associations, Wedgewood-Fountain, Waterford-Cavendish Court, Waterford Amberley Court and Wedgewood-Sherburne, run pickleball courts for their own owners now.
Worthington has five Har-Tru clay tennis courts equipped for day and night play, with courts 1 to 4 resurfaced in 2025. The program ran 14 league teams in the 2026 season. Earlier references to ten lighted courts do not match the club’s current count.
Yes. The club has a resort-style pool and spa beside the Cabana and an Activity and Fitness Center open 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, with Fit Forever classes, training and spa services. Five condo associations also run their own pools.
No. Worthington is an inland golf community with no marina or private beach club, and its 16 lakes are closed to swimming, boating and fishing. Bonita Beach Park is about 7 miles, roughly 14 minutes, from the gate.
Worthington is entirely in FEMA Zone X, minimal flood hazard, on panel 12071C0678F effective August 28, 2008. None of its roughly 800 residential parcels falls inside a Special Flood Hazard Area, so lenders do not require flood insurance on the map.
We found no public record that Worthington flooded in Hurricane Ian in 2022 or Irma in 2017. Ian’s 8 to 12-foot surge hit coastal Bonita, while Worthington is inland in evacuation Zone C, which was not ordered to evacuate in Bonita Springs for Ian. Ask the seller and association for their own storm history.
Worthington is in Lee County evacuation Zone C and storm-surge zone 3 at every point we tested. Zone C is evacuated after Zones A and B, and Lee County did not order Bonita Springs Zone C out for Hurricane Ian in 2022 or Hurricane Milton in 2024.
Lenders will not require it because Worthington is in Zone X. Single-family owners insured by Citizens must carry flood coverage when the dwelling’s replacement cost is $400,000 or more in 2026, and for all values from January 1, 2027. Condo unit-owner policies are exempt from that Citizens mandate.
Florida requires milestone inspections and structural integrity reserve studies only for condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories. Worthington’s 84 condo buildings are two-story on the Lee County Property Appraiser cost cards, with every unit on floor 1 or floor 2, so neither requirement applies; ordinary reserves still do.
No. Lee County’s list of special districts and community development districts includes no Worthington district, so there is no CDD bond assessment on a Worthington tax bill.
Worthington is in Lee County taxing district 017, City of Bonita Springs and Bonita Springs Fire, with a 2025 total millage of 12.7970 mills applied to taxable value. The rail-trail bond approved in August 2026 is expected to add a small debt millage on future bills.
Lee County assigns students by choice within proximity zones. The nearby Bonita options are Bonita Springs Elementary, about 8 minutes from the gate, Bonita Springs Middle Center for the Arts, about 10 minutes, and Bonita Springs High, about 11 minutes. Confirm your address’s zone with Lee Schools Student Enrollment.
Worthington’s gate is about 28 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport, about 14 minutes from Bonita Beach Park, about 18 minutes from Coconut Point and about 19 minutes from Mercato in free-flowing traffic. The I-75 on-ramp at Exit 116 is about 0.9 miles away.
Neither. Worthington is in the City of Bonita Springs in Lee County, ZIP code 34135, between Naples to the south and Fort Myers to the north. Downtown Naples is about 28 minutes away and downtown Fort Myers about 36 minutes.
Yes, with limits. Leases must run at least 30 consecutive days except in February, a home’s club privileges may transfer to tenants at most four times a year, and each lease carries a $100 application fee, a $350 processing fee and a $300 to $500 amenities transfer fee.
Yes. When a home is leased, the owner’s club privileges pass to the tenant for the lease term. The 2026 fee schedule lists an in-season greens fee of $95 for renters and $125 for a renter’s guest. Renters may not keep pets.
Owners may keep dogs or cats up to 25 pounds under the club’s rules. Renters and guests may not keep pets.
Worthington suits buyers who want bundled golf at one of the lower price points in Bonita Springs, a Zone X flood map and quick interstate access. It suits less well a buyer who will not play golf, wants a beach club, or wants new construction, since every home dates from 1990 to 1995.
In Worthington, 192 of the 279 single-family and villa lots front the golf course and 87 front a lake on the county’s parcel frontage field, so golf views are the norm among single-family homes rather than a premium few. Estate homes on the larger lots sold for a $787,500 median over 24 months, against $537,500 for villa lots.
Both are bundled clubs with 799 residences. In 2026 Worthington’s club dues are $13,058 with a $1,000 minimum and a $12,500 capital contribution, while Highland Woods charges $13,812.79 with a $500 minimum and a $10,000 contribution. Worthington’s course was renovated in 2018; Highland Woods has six pickleball courts.
Spanish Wells has an optional club owned by its homeowners since 2018 and 27 holes of golf, so a non-golfer there avoids golf dues. Worthington bundles golf into every home, so it suits a buyer who will actually play.
Yes. Bonita National is bundled, with each home deeded either Golf and Social or Social only. Its 2026 master HOA dues are $4,256, and golf homes add $3,002 in golf dues and $946 in golf reserves, per the club’s August 2026 packet.
Bonita Springs has a median owner-occupied home value of $497,100 in the 2020 to 2024 Census survey, and 44.2% of residents are 65 or older. Worthington’s community median sale price of $360,000 sits below that city figure because most of its homes are condominiums.
The Worthington Master Association, Inc. is self-managed, with an on-site HOA office at 13550 Worthington Way serving all nine neighborhood associations, open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The club’s administration line is (239) 495-2278.
Midtown at Bonita, a 68-acre mixed-use project with approvals for apartments, retail and a hotel, broke ground in November 2025 across Bonita Beach Road. FDOT starts I-75 express lanes in fall 2026, and the 204-acre Revana Lakes project two miles east begins construction in 2027.

Your Worthington home’s value depends first on its association: over 24 months, estate homes sold for a $787,500 median, villas for $537,500, Wedgewood-Sherburne condos for $401,000 and Waterford condos for $200,000 to $247,500. Request a free valuation at mcgreevyandcomisar.com/home-valuation for a price built on your own association.
In the 12 months through August 2026, 57 Worthington homes recorded qualified sales totaling $22.04 million at a $360,000 median. The high was $945,000 for an estate home in March 2026, and the lowest regular condo sales were around $160,000 to $180,000.
A Worthington seller’s costs include the brokerage commission, Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of price, title and closing charges, and any association estoppel and resale fees in the listing agreement. The buyer, not the seller, pays the $12,500 capital contribution under the club’s 2026 schedule unless your contract says otherwise.
The club’s 2026 fee schedule lists the $12,500 capital contribution as due from the new owner, or $1,306 if the buyer already owns in Worthington. Who ultimately bears it is a term the buyer and seller can negotiate in the contract.
County records do not track time on market, so the answer comes from the Southwest Florida MLS. In the 12 months to 29 Sep 2026, Worthington’s 57 MLS closings took a median of 99 days; the 20 single-family homes took a median 106 days and the 37 condos 96 days, and we pull your own association’s figure for every valuation. The county does show steady demand: 57 recorded sales in 12 months, with 44 of them recorded between October and May.
Worthington’s buyers are largely seasonal, and 44 of its 57 sales in the last 12 months were recorded between October and May. Listing in late October or early November puts a home in front of the first wave of winter buyers, before the club’s busiest social months.
Worthington recorded 57 qualified sales in the 12 months through August 2026, about 7% of its 799 residences. Master dues rose only 1.1% into 2026, the course was renovated in 2018, and every parcel is in flood Zone X, all points buyers compare against other bundled clubs.
The larger-lot estate homes under Single Family I and II sell for the most, at a $787,500 median over 24 months and a $945,000 high in March 2026. Among condos, Wedgewood-Sherburne leads at a $401,000 median over the same 24 months.
Golf frontage is the norm in Worthington: on the county’s parcel frontage field, 192 of the 279 platted lots front the golf course and 87 front a lake. Within that, the larger estate lots command the premium, with a $787,500 24-month median against $537,500 for villa lots. The specific hole and view still matter.
Yes. Every Worthington resale requires an HOA Certificate of Approval from the neighborhood association, and most condo associations charge the buyer a $150 resale application fee. We start that paperwork with the buyer as soon as a contract is signed.
You will need the neighborhood association’s resale approval, estoppel information for the master and neighborhood associations, and the club’s seller documents posted on its real estate page. Condo sellers should also have the association’s budget, reserve schedule and recent minutes ready for buyers.
Open houses are allowed Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. only, registered with the administration office by 3:30 p.m. on the Thursday before. Each property may have one sign no larger than 2 feet by 2 feet, and no signs on the golf-course side.
No, but roof age drives a buyer’s insurance quote on a home built from 1990 to 1995 in a 160 mph wind zone. A roof certification and a current wind-mitigation report can lower that quote and widen your buyer pool.
On a 1990s Worthington home, the updates that most help the sale are the ones that lower insurance, such as the roof and impact windows or shutters, and the ones buyers see first, such as the kitchen and baths. We walk the home and price both paths before you spend.
Many Worthington condo buyers are seasonal owners who want to move in for the winter, so a well-kept furnished condo can appeal to them. Whether to include furniture is a pricing decision we make with you based on the unit and the buyer pool that season.
Yes. The lease stays in force, and the tenant holds the home’s club privileges until it ends. Buyers who want the home for the coming season will ask about the lease dates, so we plan showings and the closing around them.
Master dues rose from $12,910 in 2025 to $13,058 in 2026, an increase of 1.1%, and the 2024 schedule showed $11,435 total dues per unit. Buyers compare the all-in annual cost across bundled clubs, and Worthington’s club layer remains below Highland Woods’.
We present the 2026 fee stack in three lines: $13,058 master dues that include full golf, the neighborhood dues for your association, and the $1,000 food and beverage minimum, plus the $12,500 one-time capital contribution. Framed against separate club dues elsewhere, bundled golf reads as a value.
The members approved a Peacock and Lewis Cabana renovation in 2026, and new club pickleball courts are planned for 2027 to 2028. Improvements like these strengthen Worthington’s case against other bundled clubs, and we feature them in the listing marketing.
Price a Worthington condo against other bundled-club condos of the same age first, then show buyers the difference in all-in cost against newer communities. A Waterford condo at a roughly $200,000 median with full golf competes on value, not on age.
No. Worthington’s condo buildings are two-story on the county cost cards, below the three-habitable-story threshold. Buyers still ask, so have the association provide its reserve schedule and budget.
You can, but a for-sale-by-owner seller still has to meet the club’s resale approval, open-house and sign rules, and has to price correctly against five different product markets inside one gate. Most owners net more with an agent who brings bundled-club buyers and negotiates the fee terms.
A team brings more buyer contact, more coverage for showings in a gated community and a larger database. We compare the agents who sell in Bonita Springs, teams and solo agents alike, on our best real estate agents in Bonita Springs page.
Ask each agent for their recorded sales in Bonita Springs bundled clubs, their average list-to-sale ratio and their marketing plan for Worthington specifically. Our own Bonita Springs agent comparison uses the public record so you can check the numbers yourself.
We use cinematic video, drone footage of the golf course, professional photography, our Domain Realty Group buyer database and direct outreach to buyers already touring Highland Woods, Vasari and Pelican Sound, the clubs Worthington buyers compare.
Yes. For owners who want privacy, we can market a Worthington home quietly to our buyer database before, or instead of, a public listing, while still meeting the club’s resale approval process.
Yes. We coordinate the HOA Certificate of Approval, the association resale application, the estoppel requests and the capital contribution terms with the buyer, the associations and the closing agent.
A private cart is personal property you can sell to your buyer or keep. The buyer then sets up their own cart arrangement with the club, including the $1,875 trail fee for 2026 if they keep a private cart.
A long time on market usually means a pricing or presentation problem, often a price set against the wrong Worthington product. We re-price against your own association’s recorded sales and relaunch with new photography and a documented roof and wind-mitigation report.
Yes. Call or text Jesse at (239) 898-6072 and we will send you Worthington’s recorded sales for your association as they post.
In Lee County the seller customarily pays Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of the sale price, the owner’s title policy in most Lee County transactions, and any association estoppel fees, plus the brokerage commission. Your net sheet from us lists each line for your price.
