High Point Country Club

High Point Country Club is 473 condominium homes wrapped around a nine-hole golf course, on four ring streets that all share one name. They are High Point Circle North, East, South and West, and the clubhouse stands among them at 1100 High Point Drive. Building ran one condominium at a time from 1972 to 1986, and no home here is newer than that. The postal address says Naples, though the community sits in unincorporated Collier County rather than inside the city. It is west of Airport-Pulling Road, on the Tamiami Trail side of central Naples.

Get the name straight first, because High Point Country Club, Inc. isn't a club anybody joins. That corporation is the community's condominium association, and the golf course, clubhouse, pools, courts and sewer lines all belong to it. Its members are thirteen condominium corporations rather than 473 individual owners, and that piece of structure decides how golf works here and how the bills arrive.

Do you have to buy a golf membership at High Point?

No, and there's nothing to buy. The association's Articles of Incorporation are flat about who belongs to it: "The Members of the Corporation shall consist of the following thirteen (13) Condominium Corporations". A buyer takes title inside one of those thirteen, that condominium is the member, and every home carries the right to play the course. The course, clubhouse and pools all run out of the association's budget, which is why the community has no membership category, no golf dues and no initiation fee.

Ownership is not the only route onto the course either. The club sells an annual associate membership to non-owners, covering golf, the pro shop, the restaurant, the courts, the putting green and the pools. The association has the terms.

What does the maintenance fee cover?

One fee covers a long list here, and golf is part of it instead of a charge on top. The association's own account reads: "Maintenance Fees pay for Golf, Tennis Courts, Heated Pools, Clubhouse, Cable TV, Hi-Speed Internet, Fitness Room, Landscaping, Trash, Sewer, Water". An owner receives one bill for all of it, and it comes from their own condominium.

Above the thirteen, High Point Country Club, Inc. assesses each corporation for its share of the annual budget, worked out per home. Each condominium then bills its own owners for that, alongside everything else it pays for. Thirteen boards adopt thirteen budgets, so the amount is not the same from one condominium to the next. Ask the association for the figure on the address you are considering, and ask which fiscal year it belongs to, because the year runs 1 April to 31 March.

The Articles and By-Laws were rewritten in 2024, and several of the thirteen condominiums have restated their own declarations since. Anything a buyer was told about how this place works before that may have been superseded.

What is the golf course like?

Nine holes, par 3, with unlimited play, a pro shop and no carts: the course is walked and not driven. A putting green and chipping area sit alongside it, and a paved path loops through the community for walking and running.

What kind of homes are at High Point?

All 473 are condominiums, with no houses and nothing detached. They're small and they repeat, running from about 600 to about 1,410 square feet, with 400 of the 473 at exactly 1,015 square feet.

So the floor plan isn't usually what separates one home from another. Which of the thirteen condominiums a home sits in matters more, and they are not interchangeable. The groups run from 30 homes up to 60, and each has a board, a budget and a recorded declaration of its own. Homes have sold between about $145,000 and about $515,000.

What else is on the property?

Six heated pools are spread around the community rather than gathered at the clubhouse. Courts for pickleball, bocce and tennis sit within the ring streets, and the exercise room carries weights and aerobic machines. The clubhouse was renovated in 2021 and runs to 9,700 square feet, with capacity for 275 and breakfast and lunch served.

What should a buyer settle before offering here?

Three answers come from the individual condominium rather than from the community as a whole:

• The fee on the specific home you are buying, from the condominium that issues the bill, with the fiscal year it belongs to.
• The lease terms that bind it: the shortest stay allowed, how many lettings a year, and how long a new owner waits before letting at all.
• The inspection and reserve position on the building. Construction here dates from the 1970s and 1980s, which is the age at which Florida starts requiring structural checks and money put aside for what they turn up. A board without that money in hand pays for repairs by assessing its owners.

The last of the thirteen condominiums was recorded in December 1986, and the community has been finished for four decades. What fourteen years of building left is a par 3 course you walk, six pools, and 473 homes on four streets sharing one name.
