Naples Club Commended for Fiscal Acumen

Countryside Golf & Country Club was recognized by Club Benchmarking as one of the five most financially sound clubs in the nation.

Club Benchmarking, an industry leader in financial benchmarking services, spent several months auditing 20 years of Countryside’s financials, analyzing the club’s financial strength, rate of growth, capital needs/sustainability, debit to equity ratio and more. The ratings are a result of a strong capital engine, funding reserves, utilizing debt appropriately and investing in the facilities.

As a result of this audit, Countryside’s board unanimously approved a $750,000 investment to build four lighted pickleball courts beginning in the summer of 2025. Along with the courts, additional parking will be added with a completion date of December 2025.

This project will wrap up a two-andhalf- year $14.2 million renovation to Countryside, “Countryside 2.0,” that will add or enhance the Outdoor Pool Café & Bar, Lakeview Lounge, Main Dining Room and Four Seasons Room, as well as a redesigned clubhouse lobby, relocated 36-seat multipurpose room and relocated physical therapy area for enhanced privacy.

Countryside is a resident-owned gated golf community with 1,133 residential units, including 221 detached single-family homes, that rests among hundreds of tropical Florida trees and a tranquil 70-par, 18-hole Arthur Hillsdesigned golf course with attractive lakes and beautiful landscaping.
