Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Mustang Course

Great course. Light rain and the range was closed only hot 9 holes in nobody was in the club house to see about a rain check

I got to the Lely Golf course early and was able to warm up on the driving range before setting off to start the first of 18 holes. The staff were very attentive for as much interaction any golfer might have with staff at a golf course.

I had not played here before and with as many courses as they have they explained everything up front.

The course is in great condition for this time of year and with temps reaching over 90+ having complementary cold water on many holes was a nice bonus. They also have GPS course layout on the carts.

Summer time with a later tee time here means the pace of play can be faster or slower than usual. If you want.

I hiighly recommend playing this course. I plan to be back soon as well.

I really enjoyed my round. The course was in excellent shape. Even though it was cart path only, I didn't encounter any water issues while playing, fairway or rough. The greens were fast, but consistent, and played true to my lines. I shot one of my better scores, and will play there again.

Got to the course for my tee time played in less than 4 hours. Had provided water in cooler a nice touch.

The bad: no coffee or breakfast food available before the round . Also no ranger on the course to keep pace of play. There was a foursome in front of us that would not let us play through and there were 3 empty holes ahead of them

The good: greens were good and rolled out nicely. Everything was marked and was very fair. A little pricey for mid summer Florida golf but as my buddy says “supply and demand” and they were busy !!

Drove down from Sarasota for a change of scenery and since it was a ~$60 hot deal, which is the cheapest I've seen. Wish I had stayed home to be honest, seeing as it was a 2 hour drive.

Played the tips, which didn't play nearly as long or anywhere near as challenging as the yardage and ratings suggested. That's fine. But what wasn't was the shaggy and horrifically slow condition of the greens, even for a dry Florida summer. There are $20 dog tracks with better speed here.

Of course, 95% of the people who play this course are high handicappers, so they won't even notice and might actually prefer it slower. Good players play better on faster greens, while hacks score better on shag rugs.

Apparently the Flamingo course is the better track, and I would hope so since there is nothing special about the Mustang. But I won't be back to try the former. Not with the ho hum value considering their summer green conditions, and certainly not during the Necrotic Naples winter pricing. I cant imagine how awful the pace of play would be here when it's packed.

Go play Old Corkscrew instead, or even the Eastwood/Fort Myers CC munis. The Mustang course is overpriced and overrated, unless you're a well-off hack.

Played Flamingo last week and course was in much better condition. many of the tee boxes are burnt or cut too high . Greens are in good condition and fairways are mostly ok .

Very fast pace of play. Course and staff all great!

Large friendly layout that keeps the ball in play on most holes. Greens and fairways in great shape. Greens have speed with little contour which made for making lots of longish putts. Lots of tee box options for choice of distance. Two consecutive visits it felt like the staff at the club drop area could be more upbeat.

This was my first time playing here. The course was in great condition from the tees to the greens. Fast greens with true rolls.

My only complaint was pace of play. I played as a single and the front nine was fine, but on the back nine the two groups ahead of me actually quit because the foursome in front of them played so slowly. I heard one of the guys in front of me say he checked the GPS and that there were no golfers on the two or three holes in front of that slow foursome. On hole 14 I tried to call the pro shop several times to see about getting a marshal out to hurry the slow group along, but there was no answer, just a recording asking to call back later.

I finally asked the slow group if I could play through on the 15th hole, and they agreed to let me.
