maintenance, street and landscape maintenance, finance and community activities, and architectural guidelines. They decided not to take on the full time management of the course and after extensive due diligence, hired the Indianapolis-based company Green Golf Partners for the job. THE COMMUNITY Located in unincorporated Lee county, the community is on Pine Island water and each home is on a private septic. All electric is underground. There is no CDD but there are some deed restrictions and building restrictions. The market in the community is hot right now and homes are selling fast. Homes sell for $400,000 and up. It’s also not strange to see people riding around the neighborhood on golf carts, or to spot wildlife roaming the more wooded parts of the community, which is undisturbed and home to exotic plants native to Florida. The community also founded the Cape Royal Community Foundation in 2002 to meet the charitable intentions of the residents of Cape Royal. It is a non-profit organization formed under Florida law and a federally approved 501(c) (3). CRCF has no paid employees or board members and is a volunteer-based organization with minimal overhead. THE COURSE The course itself is a Gordon Lewis Championship Golf Course, with challenging holes surrounded by water. There are 27 holes total – the 9 holes on the “Queen” course are currently the only portion of the entire course that’s open (and it’s only open to residents). The rest of the course – the Prince and the King – will open later this year.
