August

Been a very interesting six months in Bears Paw. New board eliminating our equity membership that had no money in the bank, was just the assessments that members had paid thru the years added onto the initial cost of $15,000 membership, really motivated prospects to purchase there dream location. This month our “initiation fee”, “club membership” or what I prefer to call a “transfer fee” is still only $17,500. We did have over 35 transfers since Jan and more coming this month. Our prices have settled to a level that is very appealing for the quality of our community. Located in the city limits of Naples, 297 residents on 244 acres with gulf access, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, (no trail fees, range fees nor cart fees) fishing pier, boat ramp and slips, very comfortable clubhouse with dining and bar overlooking lake and course with sunset views daily as well as a fitness center with 2 bocce ball courts, and 24 hour gated security is a dream come true for residents.
you still have time to come to Naples to view and play golf before season residents return. Our summers are very enjoyable as traffic is down, resturants are not real busy and tee times are your choice. Our summer has even been cooler than most of the states to the north of us. Rain is always needed but not as predictable as in the years gone by.

Please contact me at DonaldLeeSnyder@gmail.com or donaco@me.com. My previous att.net email was stolen a few weeks and I am still sorting out the problems that created for me.

BEARS PAW COUNTRY CLUB ELECTION

January 17, 2011 will be the start of a new beginning for the community of Bears Paw.  Our members elected three new board members that will bring about the change we have needed for the last 10 years.  There will be many changes to discuss over the next few weeks that will appeal to the NEXT GENERATION to enjoy their 25 years in Naples at BEARS PAW COUNTRY CLUB.  Times are different now than they were in the 1980′s and 1990′s and our new officers are more in tune with the present and are going to prepare our community for the generation that will appreciate what our residents have enjoyed 25 to 30 years.

There is a meeting scheduled for Jan 20 and we will be discussing changes in our membership fees to bring us more inline with the changes that have taken place over the last two years in Naples.  Follow my updates and also go to the Bears Paw site on my blog.

I have just listed the most beautiful home in Bears Paw Country Club.  A great deal of interest from familys since it comes up in the searches on line for gulf access.  When they arrive to see the home they are surprised to find a gated community with a clubhouse as well as a golf course, tennis courts, fittness center and only 297 residents on 244 acres of well landscaped land with lakes, fishing, Osprey and Blue Bird nests scattered throughout the common areas.  The Eagles even visit our lakes for a meal as well as bathing. 

Stay tuned for more exciting updates!!!

2011 OFF TO GREAT START

I have just listed the most beautiful home with a great view over 2 par 5 holes on the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course of Bears Paw Country Club.  Holes 3 and 7 are North/South so the view is also of our beautiful and spectacular sunsets that Neopolitans are so fortunate to expierience and share at the end of each day.

January 17 Bears Paw will elect 3 new board members that will help to bring the changes needed for our community to prepare for the next generation of retires that will be fortunate enough to spend their next 25 years enjoying our lifestyle.  Please feel free to contact me and allow me to explain the direction we will be going in and to also show you the community I have enjoyed being a part of since 1992.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

My year started on a very positive circumstance with a couple that had never been in Bears Paw and called to view and see if this was the right community for them.  Saturday we met at 10:00 am, viewed the property and a few condos then played 9 holes of golf.  They knew then that Bears Paw Country Club was the place for them to enjoy their well earned retirement to begin in the next few years.  We viewed more properties and found their dream home.  By the time they left at 4:00 pm they said they thought they had known me forever, lasting friends were made. 

Sunday morning they returned for one more viewing before catching their plane to return to home and work a little North of Naples and Florida.  They will be back in February for more golf and fun in the sun.  I will be looking forward to spending more time with them.  Them finding me has given me a great hope for this new year. 

I am wishing all of you reading this a truly happy and prosperous new year!!!!

October is now here and our seasonal residents of Bears Paw Country Club are now returning early to enjoy the unusually cool temperatures with the low humidity.  The Bears Paw golf course is in great shape from all the rains we had this summer in Naples.

Hard for me to realize that on 10/10/10 I achieved the age of 65 and have lived full time in Naples since 1985 and in Bears Paw since 1992.  Many of my neighbors bought in Bears Paw Country Club at the age of 60 – 65 to enjoy their retirement in the Naples sun.  Spending the warm winters playing golf, tennis, enjoying the Naples. beach and spending time with friends.
Bears Paw country Club must really be THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH since many still live in the community and are shooting below their age.  I think I am aging and they call me a kid!
The end of October brings then end of playing golf on many of our neighboring courses in Collier and Lee Counties that participate in the reciprocal program during May thru October.  It is always a pleasure to see the communities and play the great courses available in our corner of Florida.  Not enough time to play at 100 or more courses but good to have the opportunity available.
The major plus of living in the Bears Paw Country Club community is no more loading clubs into the car and driving to and from the golf course.  Now I will just go downstairs to my golf cart garage and drive my cart to the club and range then start a round of golf with good friends.  Many of our seasonal residents do not realize how great we have it in Naples.  They think every golf community owns their own carts – wrong.
If you are in Naples this season call me to view my community and play of golf.  Hope to see you soon!!
