Your Ultimate Itinerary for Enjoying the Chubb Classic on Florida’s Paradise Coast

From February 10th through the 16th, golf aficionados from all over the world head to Naples, Florida to attend the Chubb Classic, one of the most popular PGA TOUR Champions tournaments. And if you plan on joining them, you’re in for an unforgettable experience on Florida’s Paradise Coast.

A Naples tradition for over 35 years, the Chubb Classic takes place at the iconic Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón, giving spectators an up-close look at many of the game’s most legendary pros. The tournament is played on Tiburón Golf Club’s Black Course, masterfully designed by Greg Norman to maximize the allure of the land. Winding through acres of tall pines with huge bunkers flanking the fairways, the Black Course is as challenging as it is beautiful – a true test for any golfer.

The Chubb Classic also features a golf pro-am, as well as fan favorites like Legends Lounge, Tito’s Champions Lawn, Hero Outpost and more. Actually much more, considering all the exciting things to do in paradise. So, are you ready to make the most of your visit – both on and off the course?

Beyond the Tournament & Just as Refined

While taking a break from the tournament action might not be easy, the Paradise Coast will reward you immensely for doing so. After all, travelers looking for the best of everything don’t consider it a top-tier destination for nothing.

Consider 5th Avenue South, for example, where the shopping includes your favorite luxury brands, high-fashion boutiques, one-of-a-kind accessories and eclectic local art. See what the European designers have been up to at Marilyn’s, try on a flowing outfit from Petunias, gaze upon fine art at Call of Africa’s Native Visions Gallery or go wherever else your style takes you. You can also check out the sophisticated shops of Third Street South or visit Mercato in north Naples. You never know what you’ll find when shopping in paradise, but count on it being next level.

Should all that shopping work up your appetite, Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades will proudly serve you a silver platter of delectable dining options. Fancy some East Coast Oysters? The Claw Bar at Bellasera Resort is famous for them. Aura Restaurant is another great choice, offering some of the most innovative cuisine available in this part of the world. If gourmet Italian is top of mind, try Sale e Pepe overlooking the Gulf of America. Or maybe you want to keep it casual with crab cakes and gator fritters at Joanie’s Blue Crab Cafe. And speaking of crab, did you know the Chubb Classic is held during stone crab season? Yes indeed, with plenty of places to crack into the fresh, sweet stone crab claws the area is famous for.

Valentine’s Day is also on the calendar during the tournament (don’t forget!), which means you can pair your dinner of choice with one of the Paradise Coast’s many nightlife and entertainment offerings. From Blue Martini to Burn by Rocky Patel to performances at Artis–Naples, there are plenty of ways to ensure love remains in the air.

Are you missing the golf yet? If so, you can certainly head back to the action at Tiburón Golf Club, which also hosts two other professional golf events each year. Another option, however, is to tee it up yourself at one of these must-play public courses in Naples. Or, simply take a relaxing break on soft, white sand, compliments of the area’s world-famous beaches.

Along with The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón, there are countless places to stay and extend your visit. Beachfront resort? Downtown hotel? Cozy bed and breakfast? Your palace awaits as you plan your trip and start building your golf-inspired vacation on Florida’s Paradise Coast.
