Shadow Wood’s outdoor patios expand over 11,000 square feet, seats more than 360 comfortably for dining, and has held over 500 for cocktail parties. Separated into 3 distinct but connecting areas, the Sunset Terrace offers members everything from comfortable lounge seating, bar seating, dining tables, and plush seating around 6 fire pits. Weekly outdoor entertainment on the Sunset Terrace brings members together to enjoy the beautiful Southwest Florida weather while watching the colorful sunsets. From the west end of the Sunset Terrace, Members can watch golfers finish the 18th hole of Shadow Wood’s South Golf Course or enjoy expansive views of the golf practice facilities from the south side while enjoying dinner under the sail shades.
Due to the increasing popularity of the outdoor spaces, Shadow Wood completed two patio renovations in the summer of 2022; one to expand the existing Sunset Terrace and a second to build a new patio area, The Player’s Patio.
The Sunset Terrace expansion more than doubled the seating capacity at the outdoor bar and expanded the covered area overlooking the 18th Hole and Bocce Courts to offer 40 more seats in the lounge area. The expanded area includes a raised viewing area to watch golfers on the 18th hole of the South Course or bocce matches. The viewing area offers bar stool seating and a drink rail for member’s convenience and enjoyment.
The Player’s Patio was built on the East end of the Clubhouse, adjacent to the Golf Shop and Locker Rooms and overlooks the Golf Practice Facilities. This new area was designed for gathering after a round of golf for cocktails and is also utilized for golf event scoring and private parties. It features two fire pits and seats 120 members in both covered and uncovered spaces.
With the completion of the patio expansion, Shadow Wood now serves as many meals outdoors as indoors 7 nights per week and is the most popular venue at the club for members to get together.
