Fort Myers Country Club, affectionately known as “The Fort,” opened in 1917 and is one of the oldest golf courses on Florida’s west coast. Designed by Donald Ross, the course is nestled along the picturesque McGregor Boulevard, just about a mile south of the historic Edison/Ford Winter Estates. In the 1920s, notable figures like Thomas Edison and Henry Ford were frequent players here [Source].
This 18-hole course with a par of 70 spans 6,780 yards, offering a varied game for both beginners and seasoned golfers. A comprehensive renovation in 2014 by Steve Smyers has brought the course to excellent condition, featuring Bermuda grass on fairways and greens [Source].
New to the offerings is FlingGolf, an innovative and family-friendly twist on traditional golf. Using a special FlingStick, players fling the ball instead of striking it – perfect for newcomers and those seeking a fresh challenge [Source].
