THE MARCO ISLAND MARRIOTT'S SEMI-PRIVATE CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF COURSE ROOKERY AT MARCO ANNOUNCES NEW CLUBHOUSE

NAPLES, FL, JULY 18, 2005 - The Marco Island Marriott Resort, Golf Club and Spa has commenced construction on an 18,000 square-foot, richly-appointed clubhouse designed to compliment the resort's acclaimed, Rookery at Marco, 18-hole championship golf course. Located just minutes away, within the Fiddler's Creek Community, the new clubhouse will officially open in early 2006. The Club currently has 175 private members and when they reach 300, it will become resort-private and cater strictly to its members and guests of the Marco Island Marriott Resort, Golf Club and Spa.

Among the outstanding features of the new clubhouse include a private "Members Only" area complete with a game room; a warm-up (exercise) room; library; lounge; veranda; private dining room; business office and a private meeting room. The main dining room will serve breakfast and lunch daily and during prime season it will debut for dinner Tuesday through Saturday, with a steakhouse theme. Rookery Club members and resort guests will have priority seating at all times. The main dining room will also serve as dedicated function space to the resort's convention groups that wish to place a golf outing on their program agenda.

As part of the exciting expansion, the newly-designed, Bistro Lounge will offer a relaxing space for leisure guests to unwind with their favorite beverage. "Whether we are catering to a large convention group, our resort leisure guests, or a Club member playing along with their special guest, our new Clubhouse will allow us to deliver a private and memorable golf experience" stated, Chris Major, Director of Golf Operations.

The Rookery at Marco, masterfully designed by golf course architect, Robert Cupp, Jr., provides five tee boxes on each of its eighteen holes, oversized and receptive greens and immaculate turf conditions, making it an enjoyable golf experience for all skill levels. The Rookery at Marco is also home to the Faldo Golf School by Marriott, offering world-class golf instruction.
