Naples - Grey Oaks Country Club has been named one of the top 35 residential country club communities in the United States by the Platinum Club of America. The Platinum Club award is presented every three years and is determined by a survey of private club presidents and general managers nationwide. Only 3% of the 6,000 private clubs in the United States have been recognized in the Platinum Club’s various categories. Award criteria include a club’s history of excellence, quality of membership, conditions of the facilities, caliber of the professional staff, adaptability to changing times and spirit of generosity in the community.

This is the second time in Grey Oaks Country Club’s history that it has been acknowledged by the Platinum Club of America. In 2006, Grey Oaks was named one of the country’s top 100 residential club communities. Moving into the top 35 after just three years is indicative of the regard with which Grey Oaks is held by professionals in the private club industry.

“Due to the caliber of the private clubs receiving this award from the Platinum Club of America, Grey Oaks Country Club’s members, staff and ownership should be extremely proud,” said Grey Oaks General Manager Jim Butler. “This is an outstanding achievement, particularly given that the award is based on a vote by the professionals who know the private club industry. Grey Oaks Country Club continues to set the standard by which all other clubs in Southwest Florida are measured. That is a result of our terrific members, facilities and staff. Congratulations to all!”

Located off of Airport Pulling Road north of Golden Gate Parkway in Naples, Grey Oaks Country Club offers an incredible 54 holes of golf on three distinctly different courses just minutes from Naples’ downtown district and Gulf Coast beaches.
