A prime location, luxurious lifestyle and top-quality homes define what living is all about in Treviso Bay. Just minutes from the highlife of downtown Naples, this 1,050-acre secluded community offers a wide range of home styles by several of the area’s most respected and experienced builders. Neighboring the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Treviso Bay’s distinctive neighborhoods and golf course have been sculpted into a one of a kind setting to surround residents with natural beauty and provide all the desirable luxuries at their doorstep.
From Treviso Bay’s signature entry bridge, cross into a private world adorned with grand architecture, lush colorful landscaping, regal fountains, and inviting water features. Offering the only Southwest Florida PGA Tour Tournament Player’s Club (TPC), the 18-hole golf course designed by architect, Arthur Hills, with Ryder Cup Captain, Hall Sutton as player consultant, is intended to extend the very best golfing experience. Treviso Bay also holds the honor of being home to the PGA Tour’s Champions Tour ACE Group Classic.
For your luxury living options, renowned builders such as McGarvey Custom Homes, Gulfshore Homes, Harwick Homes, Taylor Morrison, and R&D Companies have furnished models, decorator ready homes, or can build the custom home of your dreams on one of the large estate lots with lake and preserve views.
The natural beauty of the adjacent Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is unequalled. Comprised of 110,000 acres of coastal lands and waters, the Reserve is managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas. It is one of the few remaining undisturbed mangrove estuaries in North America and Treviso Bay greatly benefits from this unique environment.
For a day or night out on the town, there is nothing that compares to downtown Naples. Quaint streets are lined with unique boutiques, cafes and upscale restaurants with outdoor seating, art galleries and gift shops. Cambier Park holds free outdoor concerts, and the von Liebig Center Art Center presents traveling photography and art exhibitions.
For the outdoor enthusiasts, Naples and the surrounding area offer a plethora of exciting activities. Laze around on sun-kissed beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, take a leisurely boat ride, or take the anglers approach and try your hand at deepwater fishing. Marco Island is only eight miles south and offers its own vibrant waterfront shopping and entertainment district.

Aced it.
The first professional golf tournament held at Treviso Bay, designed expressly for that purpose, is in the record books as a success.
The impromptu inauguration was a charm for the eighth venue in the senior tour’s 23rd year in a row in Southwest Florida.
With the weatherman cooperating 100 percent and the big crowds, efficient parking management and some top-notch golf — with the final rounds carried on TV’s Golf Channel — the ACE Group Classic was a welcome booster shot of good news and great national exposure.

Like many communities before it, Treviso Bay in Naples is counting on this week’s PGA Champions Tour ACE Group Classic to help promote the community and spur membership and home sales.

Monday’s qualifier will have one fewer spot available in this week’s ACE Group Classic hosted by Peter Jacobsen, thanks to Fulton Allem.
Allem, a 51-year-old from South Africa, finished second in Sunday’s Allianz Championship in Boca Raton. That guaranteed him a spot in the ACE Group Classic’s 79-player field. And meant there will be just three available spots in today’s qualifier instead of four.
Allem, who won three times on the PGA Tour, tied for second twice in his first full year on the Champions Tour last year. He finished 34th on the money list.
Allem wasn’t the only non-exempt player to place in the top 10 on Sunday. Mark James, a former ACE champion, tied for fourth, and David Edwards and Russ Cochran tied for seventh. It was James’s second straight top-10 effort. But only the top non-exempt player automatically earns a spot in the following week’s field.
Allem was the second alternate going into this week. Tom Wargo remains the first alternate, and part-time Miromar Lakes resident Chip Beck moves up to second alternate.
Monday’s qualifier is at The Plantation in Fort Myers. No local players made it through the pre-qualifier played there on Friday.
Admission is free Monday and Tuesday at the new tournament site, TPC Treviso Bay in East Naples. On Monday, a field of 40 amateurs will play for the opportunity to get in golf legend Gary Player’s foursome for Thursday’s pro-am. The amateur qualifier starts at 8:30 a.m.

Peter Jacobsen and his son Mick were at the Super Bowl earlier this month in Tampa, mixing business and pleasure at a pre-game, celebrity-driven party that his sports marketing firm had organized for the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
Ed Kiernan, the executive vice president and chief marketing officer for Peter Jacobsen Sports and Jacobsen’s right-hand man at his office in Bonita Springs, had been in Tampa too, but he returned to Southwest Florida for work with another client.
After enough time passed without contact between the two, Jacobsen finally had to track down Kiernan.
“He e-mailed me and said, ‘Where are you? I haven’t heard from you in 12 hours. I’m worried about you,’” Kiernan said. “He’s just very driven.”
The concern about Kiernan’s welfare may have been slightly tongue in cheek, but the digital dependence on one of his business wingmen wasn’t.
In growing off-course interests that in many ways resemble his playing career — not necessarily the biggest name in the field but highly regarded by those who know him — Jacobsen has combined a tireless work ethic with a lifelong attention to, as one client puts it, personal and professional style.
Newest in his list of duties is serving as tournament host at this week’s The ACE Group Classic at the Tournament Players Club at Treviso Bay in Naples, where Jacobsen will do everything but play golf after recently undergoing surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder.
“I think it’s really great when a player identifies with a tournament,” said Jacobsen, noting tournaments hosted by Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Greg Norman, not to mention other events once hosted by late icons Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Jackie Gleason.
