Since
opening
its
doors
in
1979,
The
Forest
Country
Club
has
strived
to
offer
its
Members
quality,
integrity
and
value
as
one
of
the
premier
clubs
in
the
Fort
Myers
area.
The
Forest
features
two
meticulously
maintained,
18-hole
Gordon
Lewis-designed
championship
golf
courses
that
are
recognized
as
some
of
the
most
beautiful
–
and
challenging
–
in
the
area.
The
Bobcat
and
The
Bear
golf
courses
share
several
common
characteristics
and
will
leave
you
with
many
lasting
memories.
As
you
make
your
way
around
both
layouts,
you’ll
encounter
fairways
lined
with
oak,
palm
and
Cypress
trees,
some
over
100-years
old.
You’re
also
likely
to
encounter
all
kinds
of
wildlife,
from
alligators
to
bobcats
to
bald
eagles.
There’s
a
lot
of
penalty
areas
in
the
form
of
lakes,
ponds
and
streams
to
contend
with
as
well.
The
beauty,
design
and
impeccable
conditioning
of
each
course
will
present
a
challenge
each
time
you
play.
Both
courses
have
been
renovated
over
the
past
few
years
and
have
the
look
and
feel
that
will
match
any
facility
in
the
area.
Should
you
prefer
racquet
sports
to
golf,
the
Forest’s
Tennis
Center
has
six
expertly
maintained
Har-Tru
courts,
three
of
which
are
lit
for
night
play.
A
variety
of
activities
and
programs
are
tailored
to
meet
the
needs
of
every
player,
regardless
of
ability.
The
Forest
unveiled
an
all
new
fitness
center
in
January
2019.
Their
goal
is
to
promote
an
active
and
healthy
lifestyle
for
all
Members.
A
wide
variety
of
cardio
and
strength
training
equipment
is
available
and
the
twelve
station
Life
Fitness
strength
equipment
circuit
will
challenge
every
muscle
group
in
your
body.
For
those
who
prefer
to
exercise
outdoors,
there
are
classes
at
the
"Fitness
Garden”
as
well
as
walking
and
cycling
groups.
Whether
its
sport
specific
or
a
general
wellness
program,
The
Forest’s
fitness
and
health
staff
can
assist
you
in
reaching
your
goals.
The
Forest
Country
Club
and
its
Members
recently
approved
a
9.5M
clubhouse
renovation
and
expansion
project
which
will
coincide
with
the
club's
40th
Anniversary.
This
follows
a
complete
renovation
of
the
club's
two
championship
golf
courses
over
the
past
few
years.
The
project
began
in
April
2018
and
all
work
is
slated
to
be
completed
by
March
2019.
The
newly
designed
40,000
square
foot
clubhouse
will
feature
a
transitional,
contemporary
design
and
expanded
indoor
and
outdoor
dining
areas
with
resort
style
seating
and
firepits.
The
new
clubhouse
will
be
the
perfect
place
for
a
wedding
or
special
event.
Members
and
their
guests
will
delight
in
The
Club’s
dining
venues
while
enjoying
magnificent
Southwest
Florida
sunsets.
Their
Executive
Chef
and
Special
Events
team
will
work
together
with
you
to
ensure
your
guests
have
the
experience
of
a
lifetime!
Currently,
The
Forest
has
about
500
Members;
that’s
not
a
lot
of
golfers
for
a
36-hole
complex.
Consequently,
preferred
tee
times
are
not
hard
to
come
by;
neither
is
finding
a
game.
There’s
a
weekly
calendar
of
events
for
men,
women
and
couples,
allowing
you
to
renew
old
friendships
or
start
making
new
ones.
Or
both!
The
Forest
recognizes
that
the
majority
of
people
join
a
club
to
create
long
lasting
friendships.
There
are
several
clubs
within
The
Club,
including
a
Book
Club,
Art
Club,
Wine
Club,
Men's
Fishing
Club
and
a
Tuesday
Night
Supper
Club.
Members
also
embark
on
over
40
outings
each
year
to
the
theater,
mystery
dinners,
sporting
events
and
live
concerts
and
performances.
The
Forest
is
looking
for
new
Members
who
want
to
enjoy
all
of
the
benefits
The
Club
has
to
offer.
You’ll
find
a
vast
array
of
amenities
and
a
Membership
category
designed
to
fit
your
needs.
he
Forest
is
offering
$5,000
off
the
joining
fee.
