Fort Myers, Fla. (April 2, 2024) – Colonial Country Club in Fort Myers, Fla. has been awarded the prestigious ‘Distinguished Club’ designation by BoardRoom magazine in partnership with Forbes Travel Guide. Each year, BoardRoom magazine, the official publication of the Association of Private Club Directors, recognizes a select number of exceptional private clubs that exceed expectations in the quality of service, facilities, governance, and most importantly the teamwork of the staff and management.
“We are proud to acknowledge the team at Colonial Country Club for delivering an exceptional member experience for their members,” said John Fornaro, Publisher and Co-founder of BoardRoom magazine.
Distinguished Clubs is the only merit-based award program for private clubs, where awarding is determined by an impartial formulaic assessment, rather than a mere peer-based vote of industry insiders, www.distinguishedclubs.com. All clubs that have been formally nominated by the Distinguished Clubs Nomination Committee and have been surveyed in person by a Distinguished Clubs survey professional and have earned a satisfactory Net Promoter Score and Member Experience Index, will thereby have earned Distinguished Clubs status. In addition to Distinguished Club status, a club may also be recognized with one of three possible Distinguished Clubs Special Designations, Iconic, Elite or Exceptional.
“The Distinguished Club award is a highly esteemed recognition within the private club industry,” said Colonial Country Club General Manager Robert Podley, CCM CAM. “Congratulations to our team of associates, committees and Board members led by Dan Casciano for this achievement. It is a testament to their hard work, level of excellence and commitment to providing a superior experience."
Colonial Country Club was recently named one of ‘America’s Healthiest Clubs’ by Prevo Health Solutions; a Top 100 Golf Shop by the AGM Platinum Awards; achieved Top-Ranked status in culinary and racquet operations from Club and Resort Business Magazine. The Club recently announced a multi-million-dollar golf course renovation project that is scheduled to begin in April 2025.
