Who built Fiddlesticks Country Club?
Fiddlesticks Country Club is a gated, member-owned equity golf community in unincorporated Lee County (south Fort Myers, 33912), established in the early 1980s around two Ron Garl-designed championship courses — the Long Mean and the Loch Ness (originally the Wee Friendly), both dating to 1983. It spans roughly 620 acres with a mix of housing — maintenance-free condominiums, attached villas, single-family homes and estate residences — across eight neighborhoods including Fiddlesticks, Berriedale, St Andrews, the Enclave, Glen Abbey, Highlands and Carriedale. The Lee County GIS boundary records about 582 residential units (the club describes roughly 585 residences), all part of the equity club governed by Fiddlesticks Country Club, Inc. There is no community development district on the tax bill — the sampled 2025 bill carries only a Lee County Solid Waste assessment (Lee County GIS, the sampled 2025 tax bill, the Sunbiz record, and Fiddlesticks club materials, checked August 2026).
Is club membership required at Fiddlesticks?
Yes. Fiddlesticks is a member-owned EQUITY country club with mandatory membership — every homeowner is an equity member with an ownership interest in the club, so there is no optional (non-golf) tier: buying a home here includes club membership, with its dues and a one-time equity initiation. That membership covers the two Ron Garl-designed 18-hole courses (the Long Mean and the Loch Ness), the roughly 40,000-square-foot clubhouse, tennis, fitness and the resort-style pool. The exact dues and initiation change over time, so confirm the current membership structure directly with the club (Fiddlesticks Country Club materials and Fort Myers market coverage, checked August 2026).
Is Fiddlesticks Country Club in a flood zone?
Mostly not — about 75% of its mapped flood features are zone X, outside the high-risk area, with about 25% in zone X (shaded). That's county map data — not a flood determination for insurance or lending purposes — so check your parcel on the official lookup.
