About Grandezza

The short version

Grandezza is a gated community of 489 single-family homes in Estero, built around The Club at Grandezza — an 18-hole championship golf course (designed by Darwin Sharp III with Gordon Lewis, opened 2001). Day to day, the nearest golf course, The Club At Grandezza, is about 0.4 miles straight-line from the community's center; the nearest library, South County Regional Library, is about 1.9 miles away; the nearest emergency room, HCA Alico Rd Emergency Room, about 4 miles.

Amenities — amenities centered on The Club at Grandezza, a private club within the gated community (amenity list compiled from the club's and community materials and market descriptions, so confirm current amenities and membership terms with the club/association) — include The Club at Grandezza — an 18-hole championship golf course (designed by Darwin Sharp III with Gordon Lewis, opened 2001), a roughly 53,000 sq ft clubhouse with formal and casual dining, a junior-Olympic resort pool with a poolside cafe, six Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, a fitness center, a gated entry.

On paper, the community sits in evacuation zone D, and all of its mapped flood features (100%) fall in zone X, outside the high-risk flood area. The average assessed just value across its 621 residential parcels was $652,361 in the county's 2026 roll.
