The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club

I only got in 12 holes as I became ill and had to leave m.y group.Was a member 35 years ago this was my first time back.

Like the course back nine are still closed but had fun anyway.

This is a narrow yet fun and challenging course. Pristine fairways and tee boxes. Water on most every hole. Couple of disappointments… the back nine was still closed from early spring and wasn’t noted on GN and ended up playing the front nine twice. With that , the pace of play was ridiculously slow. Had too many golfers out at once which made wait times per tee up to 15 minutes. Otherwise beautiful course extremely friendly staff and would definitely recommend as well as would return when I’m back in area !

Very nice course. Sadly, the back 9 was closed. Lots of water, but generous landing areas off the tee boxes. Club selection is crucial.

I was disappointed the back was closed. The front was opened. Still needs work. The new owner needs to focus on it a lot more. The older owner used to do a great job. See what happens overpriced for what the courses.is

Nicely maintained course, very friendly staff.

Greens nice, traps in very good shape, fairways nicely maintained.

Golf cart had inadvertent storm warning approach announcement come up suddenly (with no storm imminent) and showed up on 1st fairway, making it impossible to get hole data and yardages until program reset finally itself in 8th fairway.

When arrived for tee time, first I had heard that back nine closed for maintenance and would only be able to play the front nine twice. Pro shop did not know this an d did not find out until cart attendant told me. Would have been nice to know this before tee time made.

Cart attendant support was highlight of the day!

Better GC comms needed as to course conditions.

Was also behind a twosome (very slow) and they did not allow me to play through. A mix of good and bad playing course that day! Nice track but be wary if course condition unexpected changes when making tee time! Decided to just play nine and forego playing same nine again!

Will have to decide whether to return for future rounds.

The first night is in great shape. The second nine has a few rough spots but it's generally in great shape. This is a shorter course that is very challenging because of all the water, but beautiful with a lot of wildlife as Sanibel provides in general. It's worth the $6 toll to go play this for 30 bucks.

This was our second time playing The Dunes. Although a bit shorter than most regulation courses the layout and tight fairways make this course something of a challenge. There is *lots* of water. An extra sleeve, or two, of balls might not be a bad idea.

Although a few holes on the back 9 are still recovering from hurricane Ian the majority of the course is in very good condition and all of the greens offer near perfect putting surfaces.

Every member of the staff was helpful and friendly. Highly recommend a round here if you are in the area.

course is in a scenic easy access area of Sanibel island. four holes on back still recovering from hurricane, but playable. greens are good shape.

will be back

I understand all the renovations that they have done since the hurricane, but the back nine personally I would just close it off until you can bring it back because it is a complete mess. The greens are OK but no fairways to really hit out of. and to play cartpath only on many of the holes on that when it wasn’t even wet, it’s very dried out burnt. I’m glad I’m not a member there…it was one of my favorites..

Everything was ok on the front but the back was in very poor condition. No one on the course serving water and it was 96 F. Sanibel is nice but I would not make a special effort to play here. Overrated.

Although somewhat on the short side all of the water hazards at The Dunes add plenty of defense for the course. There were a few areas in some of the fairways where the grass hasn't fully grown back in from recent storms but for the most part the fairways were very nice and the greens are all spectacular. They don't roll as fast as they look but the green surfaces are near perfect.

The staff was very friendly and the course is beautiful! I consider it a must play for the area.
