The Landings Yacht, Golf & Tennis Club

Fuel, bottom paint, fiberglass repair and new canvas are all jobs the harbor at The Landings Yacht, Golf & Tennis Club takes on. The club runs it as a full-service marina on the Caloosahatchee River. Its staff also handle maintenance, detailing and electronics, and the Ship's Store sells boating gear, accessories and clothing. Owning a boat isn't required, because there's storage for boats on trailers, a rack for kayaks and a rental boat kept for residents. A morning of paddling or fishing can start at the harbor either way. Three groups, the Landings Fishing Club, the Landings Sailing Club and the Landings Yacht Club, put fishing outings, regattas and boating trips on the calendar.

The Wheelhouse Grill sits at the marina itself, looking over the river, and it's where the club points people for the sunset. Behind the harbor, 250 gated acres stretch between McGregor Boulevard and the Caloosahatchee in south Fort Myers, with 18 lakes, landscaped walking paths, a par-59 executive golf course and 13 Har-Tru tennis courts.

How long is the golf course at The Landings?

Short, by design. The course is an executive layout of 18 holes, par 59, and fourteen of its holes are par 3s. From the white tees it measures 3,031 yards, from the red 2,643. If you're hoping for a regulation-length 18, weigh that first.

The four par 4s are the 4th, 6th, 12th and 18th. The 18th is the signature hole by the club's own account, and its course tour describes it as "Our last and finest par 4 finishing hole." At 341 yards, it asks for a drive between two fairway bunkers, then a second shot over water and rock landscaping to a raised green with two tiers.

Golfers warm up on a driving range and a putting green, with a separate short-game area. PGA instructors run clinics, programs and private lessons, there's a golf shop, and tournaments, leagues and casual member events fill the year.

What does the club offer off the course?

Tennis is in the name, and it gets 13 Har-Tru courts with organized play, instruction and leagues. Pickleball and bocce have a Sports Complex of their own, with eight pickleball courts and three for bocce. A competition-sized swimming pool and a fitness center complete the list.

The second restaurant, Compass Rose, is in the Helm Club. Picnic Pointe is a lawn of palms and planting right on the Caloosahatchee, used for wedding ceremonies, cocktail receptions and open-air parties. The indoor calendar runs on clubs, among them the Landings Chorus, a Performing Arts Lounge, a Craft Club and the Piecemakers Quilt Club, plus Duplicate Bridge and game nights.

What kinds of homes are there, and what do they cost?

Condominium apartments, mostly, in low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise buildings, with villas, townhouses and detached houses among them. The villages carry nautical names: Windjammer Village, Steamboat Bend and Steamboat Bend East, Trawler Village, Longboat Village, Flagship Village, Harbortown, Mariners Cove Village, Clipper Cove Village, Schooner Village, Lighthouse Village, Sunset Cove, Sunset Harbor and the Ariel high-rise. Riverside Yacht Club is different, an enclave of detached houses beside the river.

Windjammer Village is the oldest, from the mid-1970s, and the rest date from then into the 1990s. Buying here means buying an established home from its owner. Living space runs from about 650 to about 4,800 square feet, with 1 to 4 bedrooms.

Sold prices from late April 2025 to mid-October 2026 put condominiums from the $150,000s to around $900,000. That top figure was a single penthouse in the Ariel tower, and most condominium sales sat well below it. Detached houses, villas and townhouses sold from the $340,000s to around $850,000.

Who runs what at The Landings?

There are two layers. The club, The Landings Yacht, Golf and Tennis Club, Inc., runs the marina, the golf course, the courts, both restaurants, the swimming pool and the gym, while the homes below it belong to separate associations. The club's 2024 website described it this way: "The community comprises of 12 condominium associations and 2 homeowner associations. In addition, Riverside Yacht Club Estates, a homeowners association, is located within the community." So a buyer deals with one particular association as well as with the club.

The club also takes members from outside the gates. It sells non-resident associate memberships in three forms, Tennis, Pool and Club Dining, each running a year from October 1 to September 30. A Tennis associate gets limited court time, after 11 a.m. from January through March.

The Front Gate is the way in for visitors. Open houses run on the first and third weekends of most months, Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., holiday weekends excepted, and the list of homes taking part is handed out at that gate. The administration office at 4425 S. Landings Drive answers questions on weekdays from 8 to 5.

What should a boat owner settle before buying here?

The slip comes before anything else. If the move is about keeping your own boat in the harbor, get the marina's written rules on slips, boat size and how a slip is allotted before making any offer, and hold the home and the slip as two separate questions until you have them.

Do the same with the paperwork on land, and ask for the club's documents and for those of your home's own association, since you'll answer to both. For days on the river that need no boat at all, the trailer storage, the kayak racks and the rental boat all start from the same harbor.
