Pelican Marsh is a 2,075-acre master-planned golf community in North Naples, founded in 1993 by Westinghouse Communities, Inc. (WCI) on former tomato fields and tropical mangrove wetlands. The community features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Robert von Hagge — originally shared with Bay Colony in 1994, then split into two separate 18-hole courses in 1996 when nine additional holes were added. Today, Pelican Marsh Golf Club operates as an Audubon-certified private course.

The community comprises 26 distinct neighborhoods across approximately 1,000 residential acres, with 133 acres preserved as natural preserves supporting eagles, wading birds, and regional wildlife. The residential mix is approximately 50/50 single-family and condominium/coach home: estate single-family (Muirfield at the Marsh, Ventura, Venezia, Terabella, Seville, Stonebridge, Egrets Landing, Osprey Pointe), coach homes and villas (Portofino, Ravenna), and the ultra-premium Estates at Bay Colony enclave within the Pelican Marsh master plan. The 25,000 sqft clubhouse was completed in 1998. Where to Retire Magazine named Pelican Marsh one of the 100 best master-planned communities in America.
