Kelly Greens was founded in 1987 and golf
course construction began in October the same year. The course was opened
for one day on December 20, 1988 when golfing icon Sam Snead played the
honorary first round. A key element of a multi-million dollar renovation,
which occurred in 1999, was to ensure that all greens were built to USGA
specifications. Kelly Greens clubhouse opened July 19, 1988 but before that,
Kelly Greens first residents, Steve and Linda Sherman, moved into their new
home on Kelly Palm Drive on December 23, 1987.
Kelly Greens maintains a relaxed and informal atmosphere year-round. The
close proximity to Sanibel Island and Fort Myers Beach combined with the
easy access to surrounding communities, makes Kelly Greens the most
favorable location in southwest Florida.
K G Golf Course and its lakes present natural beauty for the enjoyment of
all. The entire community is attractively landscaped with various species of
mature palms, oaks and other trees indigenous to the region. Augmented with
perennials, annuals and other plantings, our community is a very attractive
place to live and play.
K G’s large population of water, wading and other species of birds is an
interesting attraction. Osprey and Bald Eagles are regular visitors. Other
species that adopt our lakes are Wood Storks, Great Blue Herons Egrets,
White Pelicans, Anhinga and Cormorants. And don’t overlook the "friendly"
gators that frequently are observed sunning along the shores of our golf
course.
