Bear’s Paw, which opened in 1980, has the first Jack Nicklaus designed golf course on the west coast of Florida.
The community has a variety of housing types including attached villas and condominiums. The newer home neighborhood adjacent to the community, The Landings at Bears Paw has single family residences, many with gulf access.
Bear’s Paw is centrally located in Naples, with nearby access to the interstate, and a few miles from the popular 5th Avenue scene of restaurants, shopping, boutiques and entertainment. The community provides residents with both land and water recreational activities. The community is positioned along the Gordon River and members are able to use the community’s boat slips. Very few Country Clubs in Southwest Florida have gulf access, which makes this community a unique opportunity to live in a centrally located community with an outstanding golf course and other recreational amenities while also having the opportunity to boat in the river, bay, and gulf. Members are within a quarter mile of the popular Freedom Park, Naples Zoo, walking and jogging paths surrounded by nature and wildlife and the Greenway Park located adjacent to the neighborhood. Outstanding restaurants, shopping, beaches, and cultural activities are in close proximity. Regional Southwest International Airport is a short drive along I-75.
