Talis Park is a private, gated golf and lifestyle community in North Naples, FL 34110, built on 1,500 acres and anchored by an 18-hole championship course co-designed by Greg Norman & Pete Dye — one of only two courses the legendary pair created together. The community holds approximately 500 homes across 13 distinct neighborhoods. Every owner is required to carry a Sports Membership ($65,000 upfront, non-refundable, plus approximately $10,000/year in dues); Golf Membership is optional and waitlisted, capped at 350 members, with a $225,000 initiation fee.
What is Talis Park, and is it worth the cost?
Kitson & Partners developed Talis Park as a departure from the typical South Florida master-planned community formula. The design leans European in its sensibility — walkable village streetscapes, clustered neighborhoods, and an emphasis on community feel rather than sheer scale. For a luxury gated community in Naples, the result is surprisingly intimate.
The centerpiece is the 18-hole championship golf course designed by Greg Norman and Pete Dye, which opened in 2004. It's one of only two courses the two legends collaborated on, and it stands out on the Naples private golf circuit: sculpted fairways, strategic bunkering, and North Naples' natural wetland character woven throughout 18 holes. Golf membership is capped at 350 members and currently has a waitlist. If playing golf in Talis Park — not just living there — is part of your plan, that timeline needs to factor into your purchase decision.
Talis Park sits at Vanderbilt Beach Road and Livingston Road in North Naples (ZIP 34110), roughly 7 miles from Mercato, 10 miles from Fifth Avenue South, and under 4 miles from the Gulf beaches. RSW Airport is about 25 miles to the north.
Homes and pricing in Talis Park
The 13 neighborhoods span a wide range of home types. Coach homes and condos start around $730,000; single-family homes begin near $1.9 million; estate-scale homes with premium golf or lake views can run $5 million to $13 million and beyond.
Neighborhood highlights
Fairgrove — Coach homes starting around $1.1 million. The newest neighborhood; some new construction from Kitson & Partners still available. Prato, Seneca, Brightling — Single-family homes with European-influenced architecture; most in the $2M-$5M range. Watercourse — Villa-style residences with lake views; comfortable mid-range of the Talis Park spectrum. Viansa, Carrara — Larger estate homes: $5M+.
2025 market data
Median single-family sold price: $4,650,000. Average price per square foot: $1,048. Average days on market (single-family, 2025): 92 days. Current inventory supply: 13.7 months.
That inventory figure matters. Talis Park is in a buyer's market right now. With over a year of supply, buyers have negotiating room — but price reductions in the luxury segment require a precise strategy. Sellers at this level are typically not in a rush, and many are not under financial pressure. Knowing how to read seller motivation in the $4M+ range is as important as the numbers themselves.
Membership and fees: what you'll actually pay
This is where Talis Park diverges from nearly every other community at this price point, and where buyers most often get caught off guard.
| Membership | Status | Initiation | Annual Dues |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sports Membership | Mandatory for all owners | $65,000 (non-refundable) | ~$10,000/yr |
| Golf Membership | Optional — waitlisted (cap: 350) | $225,000 (non-refundable) | ~$24,725/yr |
HOA fees vary by neighborhood and home type. Talis Park operates a master HOA with sub-associations by neighborhood — verify the exact fee structure for your specific home before signing a contract. Your agent should pull the HOA financials, reserve study, and most recent meeting minutes as standard due diligence.
CDD fees: Talis Park sits in Collier County. Newer construction phases — particularly Fairgrove — may carry an active Community Development District (CDD) bond assessment on your property tax bill. Resale homes in older neighborhoods typically have fully or partially retired CDD debt. Always request the most recent tax bill before submitting an offer.
Flood zone: Most of North Naples 34110 is FEMA Flood Zone X (minimal flood risk). Most Talis Park homes do not carry mandatory flood insurance requirements. That said, individual parcel elevation matters — particularly for larger lots near wetland preserves or water features. Pull the elevation certificate for each property you're seriously considering, and get flood and wind insurance quotes before going under contract.
What distinguishes Talis Park isn't just the amenities — it's the scale. With roughly 500 homes across 1,500 acres and a walkable village layout, you can reach most of what the community offers on foot. That's rare in Naples.
Amenities and who Talis Park is best for
The Sports Complex is the community's anchor, and it's built for daily use: 5 lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, 4 pickleball courts, 4 bocce courts, a 50-foot lap pool, basketball hoops and a playground, a 9-acre practice facility (range, putting green, short game area), a full fitness center and spa, on-site dining at two venues, and 24-hour gated entry.
Talis Park is the right fit if: you want an intimate, walkable luxury community — not a development of 2,000+ homes; golf is part of your lifestyle and you're comfortable with the waitlist timeline; your budget accounts for the $65,000 Sports Membership initiation plus ~$10,000 in year-one dues on top of your purchase price and closing costs; you want a North Naples location with fast access to Vanderbilt Beach, Mercato, and Gulf beaches.
You may want to look at alternatives if: the mandatory membership model isn't in your budget or philosophy; you want a larger resale pool with more frequent pricing comparables; private beach club access is a priority (Talis Park has no beach component — Mediterra's Sports & Beach membership includes Little Hickory Island).
The buying process: what to do before you visit
Whether you're targeting resale or the remaining new construction in Fairgrove, the process begins with preparation — not a showing.
- Run the full cost picture with your agent. Your all-in number at Talis Park includes purchase price plus Sports Membership initiation ($65K), first-year dues (~$10K), HOA fees, CDD (if applicable), and closing costs. Your lender needs the full monthly obligation to qualify you accurately.
- Get full pre-approval in hand. At $2M+, sellers and their agents expect documented financial readiness before accepting showing requests. A pre-approval that accounts for your ongoing dues obligations is non-negotiable.
- Clarify your golf plan. If Golf Membership matters, check current waitlist timing before you make an offer. Membership can be added later, but you'll pay whatever the initiation fee is at that future date.
- Hire your own buyer's agent before anything else. On resale homes, the listing agent works for the seller. On new construction at Fairgrove, the Kitson & Partners sales office represents the builder — not you. Never sign a builder contract without your own agent reviewing it first.
At closing, expect
Doc stamps: $0.70 per $100 of purchase price, paid by the seller — on a $4.65M transaction, that's $32,550. Title company: Collier County transactions close through a title company; title insurance protects your ownership interest. HOA estoppel letter: required before closing, confirming your specific parcel's assessment and any outstanding balances.
