The Quarry
Naples FL — Community Guide
The only community in Naples that combines an 18-hole optional golf course with a 500-acre motorboat-friendly freshwater lake — waterskiing, wakeboarding, and boating on private Stone Lake, a beach club at the lakefront, and resort amenities. Optional golf means non-golfers pay nothing golf-related. One of SWFL's most genuinely distinctive community concepts.
What Is The Quarry — and Why Is It Unique?
The Quarry is a gated community in North Naples built around a concept that exists nowhere else in the Naples gated community market: a 500-acre private motorized freshwater lake combined with an optional 18-hole championship golf course. In a market dominated by golf-only communities, the Quarry's lake-plus-optional-golf structure serves a buyer profile that has almost no other option in Collier County — buyers who want to waterski, wakeboard, and run a motorboat from their private dock while having the option to play golf, without being forced to pay mandatory golf initiation for the privilege of lake access.
Stone Lake — the 500-acre body of water at the heart of the community — is large enough to run a ski boat or wakeboard boat meaningfully. It is not a decorative lake or a kayak-only waterway. The Lake Club on its shore operates as a genuine beach club: a sand beach area, resort pool, restaurant and bar, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and bocce. All residents access the Lake Club as part of their HOA. Golf at the Quarry is layered on top as a fully optional membership — the 18-hole Hurdzan-Fry course is available to join but never required. Non-golfers access the full Lake Club campus without any golf-related cost.
The community was developed over multiple phases and is primarily a resale market — most purchases are from existing homeowners rather than from a builder. This means buyers can inspect completed homes fully, assess lot positions relative to the lake and golf course, and evaluate the actual finished community character rather than relying on renderings. The variety of home types — coach homes, villas, and single-family homes across different price points — means the Quarry is more accessible than many comparable-amenity golf communities in North Naples.
Stone Lake — 500 Acres of Private Motorized Water
Stone Lake is the community's reason for existing. Five hundred acres of private freshwater lake, large enough to run a tournament-style ski boat, wakeboard boat, or pontoon without circling in a small loop. The lake was formed by excavation during the community's quarry heritage — hence the name — which created deep, clear freshwater rather than the shallow tannin-stained lakes typical of Florida development. The depth and clarity of Stone Lake are notable for inland Florida and contribute to the water sports experience quality.
Private dock lots on Stone Lake are the most sought-after and most expensive positions in the community. Residents on dock-eligible lots can store a boat at their home and launch directly onto the lake — a lifestyle combination that exists in very few gated communities in all of Southwest Florida. The community also provides a boat launch and marina facility at the Lake Club for residents who store their boats there rather than at home. Kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing are all permitted on the lake in addition to motorized watercraft.
The Lake Club — Included for All Residents
The Lake Club at the Quarry is positioned on the shore of Stone Lake as a genuine beach club facility — not a standard clubhouse with a lake view, but a lakeside resort with a sand beach area, beach chairs, and the atmosphere of a Gulf-front club transplanted to an inland private lake setting. This beach club character is the most distinctive design choice at the Quarry and is what creates the community's resort-within-a-community feel. All residents access the Lake Club as part of the master HOA — there is no separate Lake Club initiation fee.
The Lake Club restaurant and bar serves as the community's social dining hub, operating throughout season with lakefront views as the backdrop. The resort-style pool complex, fitness center, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and bocce courts complete the non-golf amenity infrastructure. The Lake Club's physical design — waterfront setting, beach area, outdoor social spaces — creates the daily gathering point that drives the Quarry's social culture. Residents who boat to the Lake Club for lunch or cocktails are a common sight during season, reinforcing the community's water-centric lifestyle character.
Optional Golf — The Hurdzan-Fry Championship Course
The Quarry's 18-hole championship course was designed by Hurdzan-Fry — Michael Hurdzan and Dana Fry, the same design team responsible for courses at Pebble Beach Resorts and numerous other top-rated private clubs in the US. The course winds through the Quarry's natural preserve corridors, lake edges, and residential neighborhoods, providing a playing experience that integrates the natural landscape rather than overcoming it. The design is considered one of the more environmentally sensitive and visually interesting courses in the North Naples market.
Golf at the Quarry is fully optional — no buyer in any neighborhood within the community is required to join the golf club. This means non-golfers or couples where only one partner golfs access the full Lake Club lifestyle without paying any golf-related initiation or dues. For active golfers, the course and club programming are available as an add-on membership. The optional structure keeps the total HOA cost reasonable for non-golfing Lake Club residents and creates flexibility that mandatory-membership golf communities cannot offer.
The Quarry Homes and Prices
The Quarry is a fully built-out resale community — all purchases are from existing homeowners. The community contains coach homes, villas, and single-family homes across multiple residential neighborhoods that were developed in phases. Lot positions vary significantly: some homes have direct Stone Lake frontage with private docks, some have golf course views, some back onto preserve corridors, and some are interior lots. The price premium for lakefront dock-eligible lots versus interior lots is meaningful — buyers who want the full boating lifestyle should specifically target lakefront positions and confirm dock permitting before making an offer.
Coach homes and villas represent the community's most accessible entry point — buyers can access the full Lake Club amenity package and optional golf at a price point below what most comparable North Naples golf communities offer for any product type. Single-family homes on lakefront lots with private docks represent the upper end of the market and compete with premium lots in other North Naples communities at their respective price points.
North Naples — The Quarry Location and Drive Times
The Quarry sits in North Naples east of I-75 on the Immokalee Road corridor — the same general location as Heritage Bay and Twin Eagles. The Immokalee Road position provides fast highway access, proximity to the growing Founder's Square commercial area, and reasonable drives to North Naples commercial infrastructure. The beach drive is longer from this location than from communities on the Vanderbilt Beach Road or Airport-Pulling corridors — plan approximately 25 minutes to the Gulf. For buyers whose primary daily priorities are the Lake Club, golf, and everyday convenience rather than beach proximity, the location works well.
