This October the Florida Junior Tour heads to the Country Club of Naples, which has hosted numerous Florida State Golf Association championships. In 2013 the CC of Naples hosted sectional qualifying for the US Amateur and the US Junior Amateur. Most recently in April 2015 the FSGA seniors went down to compete for the 54th Senior Amateur Championship. The club went through a re-design in 2009 when golf course architect Gordon Lewis would put his stamp on this Southwest gem. In March of 2014 the par-3 15th was voted as one of the holes that would comprise the "Naples 18" (the 18 best holes in Naples). The club is a short drive from the Gulf of Mexico and is surrounded by many local attractions and fine dining. This event is a must play during the fall season of the Florida Junior Tour schedule.
