Naples, FL
Tour-polished Norman golf with a Ritz-Carlton on site — Naples in full luxury.
Tiburón is where the professional tours come to close their seasons — Greg Norman's Gold Course hosts the LPGA's CME Group Tour Championship and years of made-for-TV team events — and the conditioning shows it year-round. The Black Course is its tighter, wilder sibling, and The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón sits directly on property, so the crew walks from breakfast to the range. Beyond the gates: Naples' beaches, Fifth Avenue South's restaurant row, and Gulf sunsets that close every day like a ceremony.

Thirty-six holes of Greg Norman golf kept at tournament polish — the Gold Course hosts the LPGA's season finale — with a Ritz-Carlton in the middle of it and Naples' Fifth Avenue dining twenty minutes away. The white-glove Florida trip.
Stay at the Ritz-Carlton Tiburón for on-property access to both courses; winter is peak season and peak pricing, so spring shoulder dates are the value window. Book Fifth Avenue dinners ahead.
