Willowbend isn’t just a club — it’s a lifestyle. Here on the shore of Shoestring Bay, resident and non-resident club members enjoy unsurpassed amenities and experiences across every aspect of club life while they create friendships that last a lifetime. No matter what you like to do to relax and have fun, unwavering attention to detail ensures that the Willowbend lifestyle is one of relaxed sophistication and enjoyment. With all the club has to offer—multiple dining venues, engaging sporting activities, exciting social events, fun kids’ programs and more—you never need to leave the club to enjoy a well-lived life.
An Exceptional Golfing Experience
Willowbend offers 27 holes of championship golf on three meticulously maintained nines, along with a full calendar of golf events and practice facilities featuring the Cape’s only Toptracer Range allowing members the latest and greatest technology to make practice more productive, fun, and engaging. Two nines of the Willowbend golf course were designed by Dr. Michael Hurdzan—whose credits include Erin Hills, Calusa Pines, Philly Cricket, and Shelter Harbor—with a third nine by Bruce Besse, Jr. The course makes the most of its dramatic setting as it winds along Shoestring Bay and through the property’s beautiful working cranberry bogs. Over the years, it has played host to some of the biggest names in golf, including Greg Norman, Rory McIlroy, Tom Watson, Gary Player, Nick Faldo, and John Daly—as well as other luminaries from the worlds of sport and entertainment, including Tom Brady, Bobby Orr, Samuel L. Jackson, and Peyton Manning.
UNSURPASSED AMENITIES
& EXPERIENCES
For members, the club is a place to return to again and again—for friendly competitions on the racquet courts, taking part in one of many golf events, doing a bit of self-care with soothing spa treatments, or enjoying lazy summer days by the pool basking in the warm summer sun. For homeowners, it’s all these things plus the opportunity to own a personal residence in one of the Cape’s most coveted private communities.
Tennis
At Willowbend, racquet sports are a popular and integral part of club life for many members. With a full calendar of tennis events, group and individual lessons, and 7 Har-Tru clay tennis courts, members of all ages can enjoy the racquet sport of their choice and make new friends while they do.
Pickleball
Much like the rest of the country, pickleball mania has taken hold at Willowbend. The club has 4 new dedicated hard courts along with 4 Har-Tru clay pickleball courts at the stadium court. We host pro clinics, clinics for kids, competitive club tournaments and fun open play for all skill levels.
Pool
The expansive pool area at Willowbend is the ultimate warm-weather family gathering spot. Our Olympic-sized pool is perfect for lap swimming, and it’s one of the club’s most popular places for the kids, whose laughter can be heard there from sunup to sundown. Snacks, drinks and frozen treats are available poolside at Cafe Amici and The Scoop.
Fitness & Wellness
Health and rejuvenation are at the heart of the Willowbend lifestyle, and nowhere is this more evident than in the club’s extensive fitness, wellness, and spa services facilities, where a professional team of trainers, instructors, massage therapists, nutritionists, and physical therapists work to help members meet their personal health and fitness goals.
Clubhouse
Here is the true heart of Willowbend, where members come to gather and connect. Take in sweeping views of the course. Enjoy the culinary delights at The Grille Room. Have a cocktail and a bit of fresh air on the Grille Room patio. Our well-appointed men’s and ladies’ locker rooms are also located here—with everything needed to prepare for—or refresh after—a day of play.
Culinary & Dining
Willowbend offers four unique dining venues, all with a focus on delicious, locally sourced menu offerings. Enjoy culinary perfection and fabulous views at The Grille Room. Grab a wood-fired pizza poolside at Cafe Amici. Pick up a bite on the course at Joe’s Grill. Or swing by The Scoop for an ice cream, healthy smoothie or other sweet treat.
Social Events
If you want to enjoy a life well lived, grow your social circle, and create lifelong bonds, Willowbend is the place for you. We are always looking for fun and engaging ways to bring members together—from special one-time events like wine-pairing dinners featuring a guest chef or selected vineyard to signature events that members look forward to every year. Special events like the legendary Memorial Day Clambake and the 4th of July BBQ & Fireworks are perennial family-pleasers, as is the Summer Gala, a themed party that takes place each August.
Kid’s Activities
Our junior members are important too! They have a club all their own—Lil’ Willows Kids Club. With a Lil’ Willows Passport, kids collect stickers by completing fun and educational challenges and activities for prizes. We also host a Mini Member Council, where kids give their input on food, fun and activities they would like us to bring to kids at Willowbend. With all this, plus programs like summer sports camps and Camp Willowbend—our awesome version of a traditional summer camp—you’ll never hear the words, “I’m bored…” again!

Willowbend’s luxurious guest accommodations, consisting of eight king and queen one-bedroom suites and four queen club rooms, offer pristine views of our award-winning golf course. Just steps from the clubhouse and fitness facilities, these lavishly appointed guest accommodations are outfitted to the highest standard—comparable to the finest hotels.
