Lely Resort Golf and Country Club. Flamingo Island (designed by Robert Trent Jones) and The Mustang (designed by Lee Trevino) are the two championship courses open to the public at Lely Resort. Flamingo Island features white-sand bunkers, hourglass fairways, and large greens, along with its signature 3200-yard hole 5 with a water-rimmed rolling fairway, bunkers, and two bridges providing the only access to the mainland. The Mustang features 12 lakes and rolling fairways. If you do more shanking than swinging, schedule time with their PGA teaching professional Charles Lostracco. 8004 Grand Lely Blvd., Naples, Florida, 34113. 239/793–2600; www.lelyresortgolfandcountryclub.com. $169.

The Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club. This historic club has weekly clinics, a driving range, and a putting green and is replete with nostalgia as the region's oldest course, built in 1929. But lately, it's all about the "dramatic" $9-million renovations by acclaimed designer Jack Nicklaus and architect John Stanford. You'll find an all new, par-71 consisting of five tees, ranging from 4800 yards to over 6900 yards. It has been voted one of the "Top 50 Women-Friendly Golf Courses in the U.S." by the magazine Golf for Women. 851 Gulf Shore Blvd. N, Naples, Florida, 34102. 239/435–2475; www.naplesbeachhotel.com. $75 for 9 holes after 2 pm, public rates: $175 before noon, $135 after noon.

Tiburón Golf Club. There are two 18-hole Greg Norman–designed courses, the Gold and the Black—an especially difficult course carved right out of a cypress preserve. Challenging and environmentally pristine, the links include narrow fairways, stacked sod wall bunkers, coquina sand, and no roughs. You cannot book months in advance unless you're staying at one of the Ritz-Carlton hotels. Nonguests can book 10 days out. Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, 2620 Tiburón Dr., Naples, Florida, 34109. 239/593–2200; www.tiburongcnaples.com. From $99.
