Living in The Forest
The Forest is a gated golf community of about 780 homes on 650 acres in south Fort Myers. It sits off US-41 between Gladiolus Drive and Alico Road, with mature trees, lakes and fairways throughout. The club is private and member-owned, and its two courses were designed by Gordon Lewis, with play dating back to around 1980.
Golf is the main draw. The Bear and Bobcat courses give members 36 holes, backed by a practice range, PGA professionals and a full calendar of leagues and events. The clubhouse offers casual and fine dining, a sports bar and banquet space. Tennis players have lighted Har-Tru courts, and pickleball, bocce and a fitness center round out the amenities.
Home choices include condos, villas, townhomes and single-family homes, which gives buyers a range of sizes and price points. Many homes look out on the golf courses or lakes. The location keeps Sanibel, Fort Myers Beach, HealthPark and both local airports within an easy drive, while the community itself feels quiet and wooded.
