Naples, Florida – The Club at the Dunes, part of The Dunes of Naples private residential community in Naples, Fla., has been honored by Golf Inc. magazine with a 2021 Golden Fork award. The Club at the Dunes came in first place in the Private Club Renovation category in the publication’s annual Golden Fork competition. Golf Inc., the world’s only magazine for golf course developers, owners and management company executives, annually recognizes the best new amenities and golf industry’s top dining facilities (Golden Fork Awards) at public and private clubs in its February/March issue.
In 2019, The Dunes of Naples completed a $9.2 million Amenities Center renovation and expansion project. The new coastal-themed Amenities Center includes a new 25,000 square-foot clubhouse with the new Royal Palm Room restaurant; a new SandBar indoor/outdoor bar; and a flexible club room for events. In addition, the club’s new Tiki Bar is a popular poolside destination for residents and guests. As part of the renovation and expansion, the entire pool area was renovated and now includes fire pit tables and a lounge area in a new courtyard. The Club at the Dunes’ wellness and fitness center was also expanded, adding a group exercise room, two rooms dedicated to massages or physical therapy, a new tennis office and pro-shop and a new recreational game room equipped with pool table, ping pong tables and shuffleboard.
Golf Inc. recognized 19 honorees this year, 11 in the Golden Fork categories for best new and renovated dining facilities and eight in three amenity categories.
The Golf Inc. recognition follows a pair of recent honors for The Club at the Dunes – in November 2020 the Club was recognized as a Blue Zones Project ApprovedTM facility and in October it was named one of “America’s Healthiest Clubs” by Prevo Health Solutions in October.
The Dunes of Naples is comprised of seven high-rise towers of high-end luxury condos and 40 luxury coach homes. Troon, the world’s largest golf and club management company, manages the food and beverage operation as well as the recreational amenities at The Dunes of Naples.
