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.”
Popular for its peaceful charm, Fiddlesticks blends luxury living with lush golf landscapes.
