NAPLES, Fla. (January 20, 2026) — Vineyards Country Club’s newly renovated North Course has earned national recognition from Golf Digest, highlighting the course as one of the country’s most significant recent redesigns.
Golf Digest editors evaluated more than 350 renovated courses nationwide, narrowing the field to fewer than 50 courses recognized for Best Transformation, an honor reserved for projects that go beyond traditional renovations to deliver a new architectural identity and playing experience. Vineyards Country Club’s North Course is the only course in Southwest Florida to earn the distinction, joining just two others statewide in Orlando and Tallahassee.
The honor follows the completion of a complete redesign of the championship 18-hole North Course. Renovations began in March 2024 and concluded in December, marking the second major course transformation at Vineyards Country Club in as many years, following the South Course renovation completed in December 2023.
“This recognition supports our belief that great clubs never stand still,” said Michael Procacci Jr., co-owner of Vineyards Country Club. “From the beginning, our vision has been to invest thoughtfully, innovate responsibly and continually improve the experience we offer our members. The North Course transformation represents our legacy commitment to creating premier amenities that honor the game, respect the land and serve our membership for generations to come.”…
