Seven Lakes Golf and Tennis Community was started in the early 1970s by the Leisure Technology Corporation of Florida. The developers wanted the ideal locale for the perfect community and found it in the southern edge of Fort Myers. It was the perfect blend of convenience with nearby restaurants and shopping while being a safe and secure environment for the residents.

From the beginning, the concept of Seven Lakes was to offer a country club environment centered around an 18-hole golf course. This is reflected in the way the 1,096 housing units are built around the golf course, affording the residents a view of the golf course. However, the developers added other amenities such as tennis courts, a pavilion with a multitude of leisure activities, swimming pools, and much more to ensure that Seven Lakes offered more than just golf. Once the community was completed, it was transferred over to the owners to manage and run through a Master Association.

Over the years, Seven Lakes has thrived and won awards, such as the Florida Community of Excellence by adding new amenities
and keeping the community well maintained.

Presently, Seven Lakes is financially stable and has completed a major renovation of their golf course and tennis courts, as well as upgraded the infrastructure by replacing the drainage system and resurfacing the roads. The owner-elected Board of Directors, who oversee the community and the Association, and staff work closely together to make sure that Seven Lakes is run efficiently and that they have a long-term strategic plan to ensure that Seven Lakes is competitive and an attractive proposition for their residents.
