The Port Royal Club got the go-ahead to move forward with its $100 million reconstruction after roughly 10 hours of hearings and continued opposition by a neighbor concerned about excessive noise. Naples City Council on Aug. 21 unanimously approved a conditional-use petition that allows the 65-year-old club at 2900 Gordon Drive to build a larger, higher three-level clubhouse with indoor and outdoor dining, a new pool and deck, outdoor seating areas, a two-story garage and new landscaping and lighting in a public service district. The clubhouse was destroyed by Hurricane Ian on Sept. 28, 2022.
