Beautiful Weather

Do you enjoy chasing swaying palm trees and basking in the sun? Who doesn’t? Southwest Florida offers exceptional warm and sunny weather year-round, and during the ‘winter,’ a sweater is, for the most part, just fine! With so many beautiful and bright sunny days a year, you can spend less time indoors and more time soaking up the sun and exploring everything Southwest Florida and The Forest have to offer.

There absolutely is such a thing as golf weather, and luckily for The Forest, that’s practically 365 days a year! The sun’s rays, the towering palm and oak trees, and an exceptional game of golf can reduce your stress levels, leaving you feeling more energized and happy. Booking now means the opportunity of escaping to the green and stunning weather whenever you need it most; we are here for you.

Location. Location. Location.

If you are from out of the state or enjoy traveling regularly, The Forest Country Club is conveniently located 9.4 miles away from the Southwest Florida International Airport or roughly a 15-minute drive depending on traffic. The Forest has so much in the surrounding areas, including Bell Tower Shops, Gulf Coast, and Coconut Point Malls, and, of course, beautiful white-sand beaches. We are 11.4 miles away from a seven-mile-long beautiful stretch of sand and sea known as Fort Myers Beach; home to water sports, fishing charters, shopping, and some of the most beautiful sunsets you will ever see. Just off the coast, it’s an easy reach to Sanibel and Captiva, some of the most unique barrier islands of the world, and winning awards for being the best shelling beach in Florida.

Rent, Own, or Vacation

Our private country club is located in a non-bundled gated community. The great thing about this is you can live within the community but don’t have to be a member of the Club or vice versa. If you prefer to have a more transient lifestyle, our members are from both near and far, sometimes out of the country! Since we have some extra time on our hands, this would be a great time to get things in order and plan, especially if you live out of the state. The Forest community features renting or buying options for beautiful single-family homes, unique condominiums, and distinctive villas. The Forest is a thriving community of year-round and winter residents who share a sense of family and community. Nestled on 650 acres bordering a nature preserve, we are committed to maintaining the lush natural beauty that makes living here truly paradise.

We all have those moments when we need to break away and take a much-needed vacation, so don’t wait! Booking now allows you to take that vacation and hit the green or tennis courts for a day or two. Just remember that the nearest airport is only a 15-minute drive away from your paradise. Why wait until the winter to enjoy paradise when it’s year round here!

Always a Full Calendar

Get ready to fill your calendar with social events! The Forest is the place to build a social and active daily lifestyle. You can become a member one day and be a member of a social group tomorrow. That is the beauty of how genuine our staff and members are when it comes to a mutual understanding; this is what joining a country club is all about. We have tennis groups, bocce leagues, and event groups like the laid back Nine & Dine, Couple’s Invitational, Men’s and Ladies’ Invitationals, and golf associations for weekly games and camaraderie. The Forest is all about spending time with your friends and learning a little more about the game you love.

Our members love to expand their knowledge through numerous classes, guest speakers, demonstrations, and events offered by some of our very own within the community. We have many clubs within the Club, including our Book Club, Art Club, Wine Club, Men’s Fishing, and so many more! With over 40 lifestyle events each season, our members also travel and enjoy trips to the Theater, Mystery Dinners, Football and Tennis games, and live performances.

If you are a foodie, enjoy your favorite cocktail and globally-influenced culinary creations by Chef Boun and his talented team in our outdoor covered terrace, Cypress Grille Room, or new outdoor bar. Our dining rooms are equipped to host extravagant member functions to keep members and their guests dancing the night away.
