River Hall golf course a hit with Realtors

COURTESY PHOTO A bit of cloudy weather didn't dissuade Realtors, from the left, Doug Anderson, Jack Martin, Kandy Shobe and Susan Thompson from participating in one of two golf tournaments hosted for area real estate agents at River Hall. On two occasions in November, Greater Fort Myers and Naples area real estate agents played in a tournament at the new River Hall Golf Club. The exclusive 18- hole course is designed by Davis Love III for the benefit of homeowners in River Hall, a master-planned community by LandMar Group.

The tournament and the course received rave reviews.

"I was impressed with the course. I've probably told a dozen people about it since I played it," said Denny Grimes, president, Denny Grimes and Company. "The course didn't play like new. It was so mature. If I didn't know it was brand new I wouldn't have believed it."

The first tournament was held in early November, with every available team completely filled and about 144 agents participating. It was so popular that a second tournament was scheduled, and again, the event was full.

Membership to the golf course and club is included with the purchase of a home at River Hall Country Club. "We were treated like kings," said Bob Oxnard, a Realtor with Century 21 Sunbelt Realty. "The course is incredible. River Hall is destined to be a new hometown for many happy homeowners long into the future."

River Hall is a master planned community in an historic delta area of land near the Caloosahatchee River. More than half of its 2,000 acres is dedicated to lakes, open spaces and preserves. Located off Palm Beach Blvd., River Hall offers easy access to I-75 and is just 20 minutes from downtown Fort Myers.
