The National Golf and Country Club at Ave Maria: Final Phase

The National Golf and Country Club at Ave Maria has entered its final phase of development, marking a significant milestone for one of Southwest Florida’s most sought-after resort-style communities. With its blend of championship golf, resort amenities, and modern residences, the completion of this final stage cements The National as a premier destination for luxury living in Collier County.

Developed by Lennar, The National Golf and Country Club at Ave Maria was designed to offer a lifestyle that combines the serenity of small-town living with the sophistication of a private country club. Since its inception, the community has attracted residents seeking both recreation and relaxation, surrounded by the natural beauty of Florida’s landscape.

The final phase brings the master plan to completion, introducing the last collection of homes and amenities that complete the community’s vision. This phase includes a mix of single-family homes, coach homes, and condominiums, all designed with Lennar’s signature “Everything’s Included®” approach—offering high-end finishes, smart home technology, and energy-efficient features as standard.

At the heart of The National is its 18-hole championship golf course, designed by renowned architect Gordon Lewis. The course offers a challenging yet enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels, with rolling fairways, strategic bunkering, and scenic water features. Residents enjoy exclusive access to the course, along with professional instruction, a pro shop, and a full calendar of tournaments and social events.

Beyond golf, the clubhouse serves as the social hub of the community. The facility includes a resort-style pool, fitness center, spa services, tennis and pickleball courts, and multiple dining options. The final phase enhances these offerings with expanded outdoor recreation areas and upgraded club facilities, ensuring residents have access to a complete resort experience right at home.

Located within the growing town of Ave Maria, The National benefits from a vibrant and family-friendly environment. Residents enjoy proximity to local shops, restaurants, schools, and parks, as well as the town’s signature attractions such as the Ave Maria University campus and the iconic Ave Maria Oratory.

The community’s location also provides convenient access to Naples, Fort Myers, and the Gulf Coast’s pristine beaches, making it ideal for those seeking both tranquility and connectivity.

With the final phase now underway, prospective homeowners have a limited opportunity to join this established and thriving community. The new homesites offer a variety of floor plans and views, from golf course vistas to lakefront settings, catering to diverse lifestyles and preferences.
