Fiddler's Creek in south Naples, Florida is a magnificent planned community of upscale homes encompassing a championship golf course by renowned Golf Course Architect Arthur Hills. Known as The Creek Course, it is Winner of 2012 Golfweek's Best Residential Courses, an honor it's held eight years in a row. It's also in Travel & Leisure Golf America's Top 100 Golf Communities two consecutive years. Its 13-acre driving range and practice facility with two short game areas are nestled in a lush, beautifully landscaped setting that's home to native Great Blue Herons and Great American Egrets.
Fiddler's Creek sits on the southwestern edge of the Everglades. Two-thirds of this 4,000 acre community are designated as golf courses and nature preserve. Most of the homes have lovely lake views. There are parks, boardwalks, and gazebos for your outdoor pleasure. Fiddler's Creek is admired for its 54,000 square foot Club & Spa, a masterpiece presenting the elegant Caxambas Restaurant, impressively equipped exercise and weight training rooms, a yoga classroom, racquet sports facility, sauna, massage and aromatherapy; and a massive lagoon style swimming pool with waterfalls and hot tubs, and an adjacent casual style Gator Grille serving food and drinks lakeside each day through happy hour.

Once inside this beautiful community you will see dozens of subdivisions, called villages, with homes of many different styles and sizes. Prices range from just under $200,000 to over $2.5 Million. The homes are spacious with high ceilings and all the most desired modern amenities. Fiddler's Creek has so many beautiful and exotic native birds that it has been selected for the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count each year. The Great American Egret is commonly seen around the many lakes, and the stately Great Blue Heron can be seen occasionally. You'll also see the Lesser Blue Heron, smaller but more blue in color than the Great Blue; the occasional Red Headed Woodpecker, brown Limpkins, and Cormorants with their large black wings spread in the sun.
