Located in Naples Florida, Imperial is just minutes from the Gulf of Mexico. Established in 1972, this private club's two championship golf courses cover over 300 acres of wooded land, rolling hills and 40 acres of spring-fed lakes.

The West Course first opened for play in 1977. The West Course is a par-72 layout designed by Ward Northrup. The course is a traditional Florida style featuring sharp doglegs and many water hazards. Four tee locations stretch course yardage from 5,140 to 6,560 yards. The layout rewards placement off the tee and accurate approach shots to well-bunkered greens. The West Course was subtly renovated by Chip Powell in 2001 to improve greens and bunkers and overall visual appeal.

The East Course first opened for play in 1973. The East Course was designed by Arthur Hills. It is a traditional northern style layout with gradual doglegs and generous fairways. Golf course yardages stretch from 5300 to 7000 yards to be played over 5 different tee locations. Imperial's East Course is a traditional northern-style layout. Gradual doglegs are the standard, with generous fairways to accommodate errant shots.
