Fiddlesticks Country Club
585 residences nestled within 620 acres of championship golf, resort-style amenities, and a vibrant year-round social calendar. Discover what makes Fiddlesticks one of Southwest Florida's most sought-after communities.
A Community Like No Other
Fiddlesticks Country Club is a private, member-owned equity golf community in Fort Myers, Florida. Set behind the gates on over 620 acres of lush, tropical landscaping, Fiddlesticks is home to 585 residences ranging from maintenance-free condominiums to expansive single-family estate homes — all woven through two championship golf courses designed by renowned architect Ron Garl.
What sets Fiddlesticks apart from other Southwest Florida golf communities is the combination of world-class golf, exceptional amenities, and a genuinely close-knit membership. The 40,000-square-foot clubhouse is the heart of social life, with four dining venues, a packed calendar of events, and the kind of warmth that comes from a community where neighbors truly know one another.
Every homeowner at Fiddlesticks is an equity member with ownership interest in the club. There is no optional membership — when you buy a home here, you become part of the family. That shared investment creates a level of member engagement and community pride that is difficult to find elsewhere.
Ideally Situated in Fort Myers
Fiddlesticks is located off Daniels Parkway, just west of I-75 in South Fort Myers. The community has two gated entrances — the front gate on Fiddlesticks Boulevard and the back gate on Briarcliff Road — providing easy access in every direction.
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is just 11 minutes away. Fort Myers Beach is a 23-minute drive, Sanibel Island about 34 minutes, and Naples approximately 42 minutes south. Groceries, dining, and shopping are all within minutes — Publix is right outside the front gate.
The community sits entirely within FEMA Flood Zone X (minimal flood risk). Fiddlesticks has never flooded, including during Hurricane Ian in 2022 — a fact that gives homeowners and buyers significant peace of mind and lower insurance costs.
Two World-Class Courses
Designed by Ron Garl and opened in 1983, The Long Mean is widely regarded as one of the finest course designs in Southwest Florida. Course enhancements by Kipp Schulties in 2018, with an upcoming 2026 project led by architect Kris Spence. Host of the 2022 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur, 2021 Florida Open, and 2010 U.S. Senior Women's Amateur.
Also designed by Ron Garl, originally opened in 1983 as “The Wee Friendly.” Extensive renovation in 2018 by Kipp Schulties created sparkling new lakes and inlets, inspiring the Loch Ness name. A true shot-maker's course with scenic views incorporating natural stone and native landscaping.

Find Your Place at Fiddlesticks
From low-maintenance condominiums and attached villas to spacious single-family homes and private estate residences, Fiddlesticks offers a home style for every lifestyle.
More Than a Golf Community
Fiddlesticks is as much about the people as it is about the golf. With over 100 events per season — from wine dinners and jazz brunches to holiday galas and block parties — there is always a reason to gather. The community attracts a friendly, active membership that skews toward retirees and snowbirds from the Northeast and Midwest, though families of all ages call Fiddlesticks home.
The Littlesticks playground gives visiting grandchildren a place to play, while the cabana pool becomes the social hub on warm afternoons. Golf cart culture is alive and well — many residents use their carts to get around the community, stop by the clubhouse for dinner, or visit friends across the neighborhood.
