The long contentious relationship between Gulf Harbour Yacht & Country Club members and developer WCI Communities is over.  Effective as of January 1, 2009, Gulf Harbour residents will self-mange the 1,100 member country club.  There have been concerns about the fate of WCI Communities as it passes through the bankruptcy process.

The belief is that the self-managed environment will allow for significantly more of the club dues to be re-invested back into the club and facilities.  Gulf Harbour continues to be one of the finest communities in Southwest Florida.  This transfer of ownership is a very positive step for the community.
