Southwest Florida golfers may have heard a sonic boom recently but it wasn’t the space shuttle touching down in Cape Canaveral. To the delight of both local and seasonal golfers everywhere, the ‘boom’ was the recent explosion of world-class golf bein brought to Lehigh Acres by Greentree Resorts and its recent acquisition of three championship facilities; Majestic Golf Club, Mirror Lakes Golf Club and the Admiral Lehigh Golf Resort. Managing members Jere Carrick, Tony Paradiso, Keith Campbell and Brian Owens made the announcement this past fall and have been steadily been bringing improvements to the already popular facilities; both inside and out. “We wanted to restore the charm and character to the courses while adding improvements, upgrades and a bit of polish too.” said Carrick. 

The three courses that are open for public play have already received glowing reviews from area golfers for their recent improvements, including enhancements to the state of the art practice facilities, clubhouses and pro shops. New grill room amenities have also been added to enhance the golfer’s enjoyment after their round.

Advances to the greens, tee boxes and fairways will make all three of Greentree’s courses play with consistent, superior conditions that will be a truly memorable golfing experience. “Our vision is to bring quality golf, top-notch conditions and first rate service to Southwest Florida all at an affordable price,” added Carrick.

Greentree will also offer several different memberships including individual and family programs, and a ground-breaking new corporate membership that will be the new standard in the game and business community.
