Kensington Golf Country Club Completes Major Renovation

The course at Kensington Golf & Country Club is fully open again after a major renovation project recently wrapped up. Thanks to a $7 million investment by club members, the championship golf course was completely restored.

Crews added new drainage to improve playing conditions, they added “ribbon tees”, updated bunkers and enhanced sight lines. They also planted new varieties of Bermuda grass on greens, fairways and playing surfaces.

In addition, crews incorporated a new state-of-the-art irrigation system and they reduced some of the concrete cart paths. The original course was completed more than 25 years ago. It was last renovated in the mid 2000s.

As for the clubhouse, it was recently expanded and renovated as part of a $3.5 million project. The club’s fitness center was one of things renovated and includes a Pilates studio.

Kensington also has four new pickleball courts and some rebuilt Har-Tru tennis courts for members to enjoy. The more than 30,000 square foot clubhouse additionally features casual and formal dining options. The club also has a heated swimming pool.

The Kensington Golf & Country Club is one of the oldest and most established clubs in North Naples. First opened in the mid 1990s, the gated golf course community is home to hundreds of private residences.

Four of its neighborhoods offer coach homes, with generally around 1,700 to 2,800 square feet of living space. Each coach home comes with a garage and provides the advantage of golf course views.

There are also a half-dozen different neighborhoods featuring villas and single-family homes. These properties range from around 2,100 to 5,000 square feet of living space. A majority of these homes are also on the golf course.

For those with a larger budget, Kensington offers two neighborhoods with estate homes. These homes typically start at around 3,000 square feet of living space.
