Extended Weekend Getaways 
NAPLES — A relaxing getaway to a beachfront resort in Southwest Florida. Featuring a truly beautiful setting on the pristine soft white-sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, the AAA Four-Diamond resort recently completed the dramatic renovation — almost reinvention — of its championship golf course. Completed in November 2016, the $9 million total redesign of the resort’s course was done by golf icon and acclaimed course designer Jack Nicklaus in collaboration with renowned course architect John Sanford. Taking advantage of this appealing offer is a great way to experience the resort’s beautifully redesigned par-71 golf course. Featuring five tees, ranging from 4,800 yards to over 6,900 yards, the course was redesigned to challenge the best players but also be enjoyable for all golfers. In addition, the resort added a 300-yard practice and teaching range, and has new golf carts with GPS tracking systems to aid golfers with yardages on each hole, thus helping pace of play.
Not a golfer? Certainly not a problem. Set on 125 lush acres, the picturesque beachfront resort also features an impressive array of other on-site recreational options. In fact, the resort is Southwest Florida’s only beachfront resort with a championship golf course, a world-class spa, and an award-winning tennis center all on-site.
Making it even more appealing, the resort has spent more than $50 million in impressive renovations and enhancements over the last few years, in addition to the golf course. Among the many enhancements was the replacement of the brick balconies in its main Tower Building with beautiful glass balconies in November 2015 to showcase the gorgeous Gulf views. In addition, guests always benefit from no resort fees, complimentary valet parking and self-parking, and complimentary access to the resort’s fitness center. The resort’s 319 guest rooms and suites feature cool tropical color linens, fabrics and carpeting; flat-panel televisions; patio or balcony (with a view of the Gulf, golf course or the lush resort interior); coffee maker; and refrigerator.
