Bonita National Homes and Condos for Sale in Bonita Springs, Florida

Bonita National Golf and Country Club is a gated, bundled golf community built by Lennar at the east end of Bonita Beach Road, about five miles east of I-75. Lennar opened it in 2014. The community has about 1,489 homes, from condominiums to luxury estate homes, set around an 18-hole championship course designed by Gordon Lewis.

A Gated Community With Bundled Golf Membership

Bonita National is a bundled golf community, which means membership is tied to the home itself rather than left as an optional upgrade. Every property comes with either a golf or a social membership deeded directly to it, so residents know exactly what they are getting before they close.

Championship Golf Designed by Gordon Lewis

The centerpiece of the community is its 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Gordon Lewis and routed through the community's lakes and preserve areas near CREW Flint Pen Strand. Multiple sets of tees suit every skill level. Wildlife and preserve views come with nearly every round. The practice facilities include a driving range, a short-game area and a putting green. Men's and ladies' leagues and a full calendar of member events keep the golf program active.

Resort-Style Clubhouse and Amenities

Bonita National's clubhouse is the social heart of the community, with a fine dining room, a grill room and a poolside grill. Beyond the golf course, residents have a full slate of amenities close to home.

• Dining: Clubhouse fine dining room, a grill room and a poolside grill
• Fitness and Spa: A modern fitness center, group classes and the Utopia Spa
• Tennis and Pickleball: Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball courts and bocce courts
• Pools: A resort-style pool with a cabana bar, a separate lap pool and a children's pool
• Grounds: Roughly 200 acres of lakes and scenic walking and biking trails

Homes For Sale: Condos to Luxury Estates

Bonita National offers an unusually wide range of real estate for a single gated community, from low-maintenance condominiums to luxury estate homes with lake and golf course views.

Luxury coach homes and the Terrace and Veranda condominiums complete the choices.

A Local's View of Bonita National

Bonita National is one of the newest bundled golf communities in the Bonita Springs and Estero area and it brings a modern approach. When people go on vacation they love resorts. This is resort living. There's a free-form pool with waterfalls, a fitness center, the golf course and practice facilities. The view from the second story of the clubhouse is phenomenal. Lying by the pool feels like being at a five-star resort anywhere in the world. You'll find outdoor dining, country club dining inside, clubs, meetings and activities on site. You name it.

I have sold a variety of homes here. I have helped buyers complete 1031 exchanges into single family homes. I have also helped buyers purchase condominiums because they weren't quite ready for a full-time residence. They wanted a foot in the door and a getaway where they could fly in without a bag and walk right back into their Florida life. It's a great community surrounded by nature.

Every home has either a golf or a social membership. Here's the easiest way to tell which you're looking at: after you clear the guardhouse, nearly everything on the right is golf membership real estate and everything on the left is social membership real estate.
