Who built Wildcat Run?
Wildcat Run is a gated golf community in the Village of Estero, developed beginning in the mid-1980s around the Wildcat Run Golf & Country Club. Homes were built across neighborhoods such as Lakeside Villas, Cypress Bend and Cypress Cove; the Lee County GIS boundary records about 409 residential units across the mapped neighborhoods. There is no community development district on the tax bill — the sampled 2025 bill carries only a Lee County Solid Waste assessment. The residential community is governed by the Wildcat Run Community Association (managed by Alliant Property Management); the golf club is a separate organization (Lee County GIS, the sampled 2025 tax bill, and Wildcat Run community materials, checked August 2026).
Is golf included when you buy in Wildcat Run?
Wildcat Run's golf course and clubhouse are run by the Wildcat Run Country Club, which is a separate organization from the residential Wildcat Run Community Association. Whether golf membership is required with a home purchase, what access is included, and any golf dues or fees depend on the club's current membership plan — confirm the current membership structure and golf terms directly with the club (Wildcat Run Golf & Country Club materials, checked August 2026).
Is Wildcat Run in a flood zone?
The county's flood map layer doesn't provide zone labels for this area, so we don't publish a breakdown. Check your address on FEMA's official flood map. Flood-zone status is not a flood determination for insurance or lending purposes.
