A community that loves golf
Homeseekers in Fort Myers invariably want to know where the community's name “Fiddlesticks” came from. Yes, the word’s 15th-century British meaning was “the bow to play the violin.” But, over time, it became a common Scottish golfing expletive, albeit one mild enough to say in front of ladies. In 1980, when founders of a new Fort Myers country club searched for a name, they stumbled across “Fiddlesticks,” and the rest is history. In honor of the word’s Scottish roots, the club named its two golf courses the Long Mean and the Wee Friendly. It’s fitting that Realtor Ernie Horvath, with RE/MAX Realty Group and a member for 35 years says that what sets Fiddlesticks apart from nearby neighborhoods is its friendliness. “This is a welcoming community, and you can see that in the way we focus on kids here. Kids love to come to Fiddlesticks. They rave about the outdoor dining spaces and the kid-friendly pool area. Kids also are big fans of our camps and clinics and have a lot of input into the design of these programs.” Horvath continues, “I brag a lot about living here, but it’s all true. Fiddlesticks is a club, it’s a resort, it’s a community, but it’s also home to about 800 people too.”

Mediterranean-style villas face fairways and lakes
Fiddlesticks is located 13 miles southwest of downtown Fort Myers, one of the fastest-growing cities in America. Realtor Horvath says, “Fort Myers is growing, and real estate is understandably hot.

Palm trees and Loblolly Pines are common, as are large yards with swimming pools. Grassy front lawns lead to sidewalks and wide, flat streets. Every home in the neighborhood is required to have a membership to Fiddlesticks Country Club. Buyers can find condos, townhouses and homes with an average size of 5,000 square feet. Recent sales of single-family homes have ranged from $750,000 to $1,800,000. Fairway-facing homes have recently sold for $900,000 to $1,400,000.
