Hibiscus Golf Club

So we played at 0932

Group in front 0908

We caught them on first hole !!

They took 30 mins to play first hole - Ranger said he would give them a push !!! 2 ladies and 2 men only one had played before ! Enough said

Thankfully they then started 150 yards away from the hole then left on the 9 th - Ranger would not allow us to play through !! Why ??

Then we came up against a 5 ball - ranger again powerless - Shame as problems easily solved

This was a fun course. Great staff. Great hot dog at the turn.

Me and my buddy Mike thoroughly enjoyed golfing at Hibiscus golf course. Looking forward to the next time we play it..

I was assaulted and harassed by a starter or cart course worker and completely embarrassed in front of my wife.

As I was ready to hit shot 3 from 120 yards onto the par 5 10th hole a person named Al drove up in his cart stated that we must play faster.

I backed off my stance and stated "no problem, and if we have to skip a hole for you and Hibiscus we will." The person repeated "hit the ball".

I went to set up again and as I was getting ready to hit the person again interrupted my golf set up process and said "hit the ball, we have strict rules for place of play."

I said no problem and went into my set up routine again. Before I could swing he said "hit the ball" louder.

I backed off again and went to my cart to the cart's GPS to see how far behind we were. There was no indicator. I told the person how much I respect pace of play and was aware that we were first out at 7:32am. I asked where on the screen there is any indicator of being ahead or behind. He said "The indicator won't come on until you are 15 minutes behind. Hit the ball there is a twosome on the green up there".

That twosome happened to be 2 young golfers who "hit the par 5 green in 2". But I didn't say anything except "I am trying, please stay still or move away so I can reset and take my shot".

He once again aggressively stated "hit the ball". I set up and hit, very shaken by this.

When I went into the clubhouse at 11:15am after completing the round, my wife and I asked the desk "if we were first off at 7:32am and finished at this time, were we were behind or cause anyone behind us to be delayed?". The three (3) wonderful desk helpers stated "no you are well ahead of the 4 hour and 20 minute goal for the round to be played". So I guess that would have been 11:52am.

Since I was assaulted, harassed and embarrassed by this person and in front of my wife no less, I asked for the manager. They politely advised me that he was not in on this Sunday and gave me his card. I immediatley called the number and left a voice mail for Mike Smuniewski with basically the same story as written here and asked for an immediate call back.

Since no one called back, I waited until 4:30pm and researched who owns Hibiscus. I was able to contact a very understanding and caring person that works for the Company that owns Hibiscuss, Brian, who is, thankfully and appropriately, handling this TERRIBLE situation according to a golfer such as I, a golfer with integrity and care for all fellow golfers, my simple request for an apology, without a "BUT" from this employee.

The golf course was very enjoyable. Pace of play was great didn’t have to wait. Basically enjoyed our time there at Hibiscus golf course.

Great Course and the food is spectacular!!

We will play here again, very enjoyable day!

We enjoyed our round, nice course and the Club House food was spectacular!!!

All around great day

It’s a fun golf course and in great shape. Staff is great and always smiling and welcoming. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape. This is a must play through April 2027 as they are will turn private after that with no public play.

Played this course a few years ago and it’s in better shape now.

Driving thru Naples and played 18 using Golf Now. It was super easy and I booked a twilight tee time. I was able to finish 18 easily and played the first nine with a formeremployee at hibiscus.(Lenny). Nice greens and nice tea boxes, and I really enjoyed the layout!!

We play here regularly and really like the tract. Unfortunately, this time the greens had been verticut and were slow and didn’t roll true. Also, on the front we were behind a very slow foursome- 2 hole behind. Ranger did good job of speeding them up.

Still a beautiful course and great day

Nice course the will challenge you hole after hole. Unfortunately, Naples is losing another Public Course to go Private!

Will miss this course and its friendly staff!

Really enjoyed playing the course and will definitely be back!

Great public course & great value. The clubhouse & restaurant are fantastic. We stop in there just for dinner & drinks many times without the golf round.

It is very disappointing that this course has sold out to be private overpriced course. Naples has had public course options near distinction these days.
