Pandion Club Project Drives Job Creation and Economic Growth in Estero

New Southwest Florida Course Designed to Elevate Community and Environment

ESTERO (Feb. 12, 2026) - Hoffmann Family of Companies continues to advance the highly anticipated Pandion Club redevelopment in Estero-a project designed to deliver hundreds of jobs and significant economic impact for the region.

Pending permitting approval, the future construction at the Old Corkscrew site is already driving local economic activity and creating opportunities across skilled trades, hospitality, and service sectors. At peak, hundreds of workers will be active on-site. Once the club opens in late 2027, permanent roles in course management and hospitality will further support long-term operations and local employment.

More than a golf course, Pandion Club represents a strategic commitment to Estero's growth and quality of life. To bring this vision to life, HF Companies has assembled a team of industry leaders who bring world-class expertise in architecture, engineering, construction, and consulting:

"This project represents a major investment in Estero's future," said Geoff Hoffmann, CEO of Hoffmann Family of Companies' private equity arm. "By engaging top-tier firms and supporting opportunities for local talent through development and operations, Pandion Club will deliver lasting economic benefits to the community."

Recent community studies, including Engage Estero, highlight residents' priorities: economic vitality, environmental sustainability, and quality of life. Pandion Club investment addresses these priorities through:

  • Economic Resilience: Multi-year construction and ongoing operations will create hundreds of jobs across skilled trades, professional services, and hospitality. Thoughtful development and increased tourism help stabilize property values and attract new residents-benefits that Pandion Club is positioned to deliver. Partnerships with regional suppliers and service providers will also inject millions into the local economy and support local business growth.
  • Environmental Stewardship: The project integrates ecological consulting and resiliency planning. As a Certified Audubon International Signature Sanctuary, Pandion Club demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and climate adaptation.
  • Lifestyle & Tourism Enhancement: Pandion Club positions Estero as a premier destination for golf, recreation, and luxury living-boosting tourism and elevating the community's quality of life.
  • Preserving Heritage: By revitalizing a former golf course rather than pursuing high-density development, the project preserves natural land, protects vital ecosystems, and enhances quality of life for residents-all while creating jobs and driving economic growth.

Designed by world-renowned architect Kyle Phillips, the golf course will span 275 acres of carefully restored landscape. The par-71 layout will stretch up to 7,220 yards, offering multiple teeing options and a full practice facility, including a driving range and short-game areas. The target opening is late 2027.

As permitting continues and construction commences later this year, Pandion Club stands as both an economic driver and a steward of the natural environment-creating jobs, supporting local businesses, and elevating Southwest Florida's golf and lifestyle landscape for generations to come.
