Golf Coast opened more than 30 years ago, before Estero High School existed, before nearby Coconut Point existed, before the village existed.The driving range has been on life support since the Village of Estero purchased the 10-acre site for $4.25 million in April 2022. The plans call for the village to develop the driving range and contiguous property into a community entertainment center.
The Village of Estero has less than 200 acres of land available for development, which has prompted community leaders and residents to assess how best to handle the explosive growth in the village and surrounding areas.
