The 18-hole "Old Collier" course at the The Old Collier Golf Club facility in Naples, Florida features 7,069 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 74.2 and it has a slope rating of 142.
The Old Collier Golf Club is a magnificent private golf club and the world's first Certified Audubon Signature Sanctuary. The course landscape was designed with both players and natural wildlife in mind. Turf areas are limited to 77 acres. More than 50 acres of mangrove and wetland habitat have been set aside as a wildlife preserve, and another 109 acres of continuous native habitat corridors are also preserved. The golf course is quietly integrated with this rich natural environment. It is the first club in the continental United States to use salt-tolerant grass on the entire course, resulting in a dramatic reduction in the use of fresh water for irrigation, as well as a significant decrease in pesticide and fertilize use.
The commitment to conservation extends further. Golf course bridge surfaces, benches, trash cans and water coolers are made of 100 percent recycled post-consumer plastic materials, designed to meet both aesthetic and environmental standards. A program of Integrated Pest Management has reduced the use of pesticides and fertilizer. Staff members use best management practices in recycling water and materials, heating and cooling systems, lighting and energy management, and equipment cleaning and maintenance.
Taken together, the Club’s design, materials, landscape, management and operations have resulted in a course that offers a magnificent golfing experience while providing an international model for environmental stewardship.
