In 1957, imagine there were no gated sanctuaries, no condo-lined fairways, no golf carts whisking from garage to tee, because that was the year that Naples' (and the country's) first golf course community was created called Palm River. Second golf course built in Naples; the original Palm River Golf Club wasn't the greatest golf course in the area.
It was generally flat, so that you could stand on almost any hole and see several of the others. In 2001, Palm River Golf Club received a new name, LaPlaya Golf Club, and was completely redeveloped and an entirely new golf course was created. LaPlaya Golf Club, LLC was formed as a joint venture by affiliates of Barron Collier Companies and Stephen J. Lockwood & Co., LLC, owner of Palm River Country Club having purchased it in 1996.
