FORT MYERS, Fla. ( October 1, 2015)
Shell Point Retirement Community has broken ground on a two-story, 35,000-square-foot clubhouse that will house Shell Point Golf Club, as well as two restaurants, fitness and aerobics center, salon and spa services, and additional resort-style amenities. Club memberships will be offered on a limited basis to the local Fort Myers community, who will share the facility with Shell Point residents.
Located at Shell Point’s 18-hole championship course, The Shell Point Clubhouse will center around a fully equipped pro shop, climate-controlled cart barn, and locker rooms with lounge area. “The $14 million clubhouse is designed to provide a comfortable place to gather and relax, with formal and casual dining options, professional salon and spa services, and spacious meeting spaces available for booking, among other luxury amenities.” said Scott Moore, vice president of operations at Shell Point.
Shell Point Club members will have access to a fully equipped exercise room and popular fitness and aerobics classes. Plans also include expanded tennis facilities in the nearby Woodlands neighborhood on the Shell Point campus.
