Bonita National Golf & Country Club: Bundled Golf Living in Bonita Springs, FL

Florida's Gulf Coast is known for its beaches, warm weather and thriving communities. Bonita Springs is one of the most sought after cities along that coast. East of Interstate 75, gated behind its own entrance, sits Bonita National Golf and Country Club, a bundled golf community built by Lennar with an 18-hole championship course designed by golf architect Gordon Lewis. From condominiums to luxury estate homes, Bonita National gives buyers a resort lifestyle with golf built into the deal.

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. That structure keeps the club fully staffed and the course well maintained year round. It's one of the reasons bundled communities stay popular with buyers who want a country club lifestyle without joining a separate club on their own.

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 the CREW Bird Rookery Swamp. Golfers can expect well maintained fairways, multiple tee sets for every skill level and the kind of natural Florida scenery that makes a round here feel like more than just a game.

Resort-Style Clubhouse and Amenities

Bonita National's clubhouse serves as the social heart of the community, with fine and casual dining options for residents who want a night out without leaving the neighborhood. Beyond the golf course, residents have access to a full slate of amenities built for an active, social lifestyle.

• Dining: Clubhouse dining room and a poolside grille for casual meals
• Fitness and Spa: A modern fitness center, group classes and spa services
• 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
