About Fiddlesticks Country Club
Fiddlesticks Country Club is a gated community of 582 homes in Fort Myers. Day to day, the nearest golf course, Fiddlesticks Country Club, is about 0.2 miles straight-line from the community's center; the nearest library, Lakes Regional Library, is about 5.9 miles away; the nearest emergency room, HCA Alico Rd Emergency Room, about 2.1 miles.
Amenities — amenities compiled from the Fiddlesticks Country Club and Fort Myers market materials (confirm current amenities and membership terms with the club); Fiddlesticks is a member-owned equity club with mandatory membership — include a gated entry, two 18-hole Ron Garl-designed championship golf courses (the Long Mean and the Loch Ness, formerly the Wee Friendly), a roughly 40,000-square-foot clubhouse with dining, eight tennis courts, a fitness center, a resort-style swimming pool.
On paper, the community spans evacuation zones B · C · D, and most of its mapped flood features (75%) fall in zone X, outside the high-risk flood area. The average assessed just value across its 637 residential parcels was $674,347 in the county's 2026 roll.
What sets Fiddlesticks apart from most gated golf addresses in south Fort Myers is how tightly the home and the club are bound together. This is a member-owned equity country club, and membership is mandatory: every homeowner holds an ownership interest in Fiddlesticks Country Club, Inc., and that membership — with its dues and a one-time equity initiation — comes attached to the house rather than sold as an option. There is no golf-optional tier. For someone who intends to play the two Ron Garl-designed championship courses (the Long Mean and the Loch Ness, formerly the Wee Friendly), that structure guarantees access and a stake in the roughly 40,000-square-foot clubhouse, eight tennis courts, fitness center and resort-style pool. For someone who wouldn't use them, it is a recurring cost that isn't negotiable. That trade-off, more than the amenity list, is the first thing to weigh here.
The cost picture is otherwise lean on the public side. Unlike the CDD-financed subdivisions filling much of the newer Fort Myers and Estero market, Fiddlesticks carries no community development district — the sampled 2025 tax bill shows a single non-ad-valorem line, a Lee County Solid Waste assessment of about $366, and nothing more. It also helps to know the naming can be confusing on a listing search: "Fiddlesticks" is really an umbrella over eight neighborhoods — Berriedale, St Andrews, the Enclave, Glen Abbey, Highlands and Carriedale among them — all governed by the one equity club, with about 582 homes across single-family, villa and condominium styles built largely between 1984 and 2006.
A couple of practical notes for anyone getting serious: the community sits in unincorporated Lee County across evacuation zones B, C and D, so check the specific parcel's zone before you commit, and Xfinity cable is the primary wired internet option. Confirm current dues, initiation and club rules directly with the association — this page is an independent, records-based starting point, not affiliated with the HOA, club or developer.
