Hammock Bay Golf & Country Club
Hammock Bay Golf & Country Club is an 18-hole private course in unincorporated Collier County between Naples and Marco Island, operated together with The Rookery course as The Members Club at Marco in partnership with the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort.

What to Independently Verify
Confirm current-year membership fees directly with the club -- the $125,000 initiation / $15,500 dues figures come from a fee-structure document effective June 2023 and may have changed. Confirm exactly how the 'transferable upon sale of Collier County real estate' provision works -- sourcing described the rule but not whether Collier County property ownership is itself a membership eligibility requirement or purely a transfer mechanic, so membership_tied_to_property is left unknown rather than guessed. Confirm current branding: the golf operation markets today primarily as 'The Rookery at Marco' / 'The Members Club at Marco,' while 'Hammock Bay Golf & Country Club' remains the name of this specific 18-hole course and the surrounding gated residential community. It also sits roughly midway between Naples and Marco Island along US-41; confirm the marco-island market assignment still makes sense for the final site versus a Naples assignment.
