Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course

AM TeeTimes are difficult to come by on GolfNow. Managed to get one @ 12:51 pm as must of been a cancellation. It was a Hot Deal that made it even better otherwise course is pricey.
Played the Flamingo course & conditions were very nice. Understand it was recently redone. Played as a three some in about 4 hours.
Qualify course to play.

We really enjoyed this golf course, par 3s are fun
We played the green white tees and we will be back to play again

3 foursomes on holes14-18. - Had to quit after 16 because it was slow

Practice ground looks massive, but you’re expected to hit balls off a thin mat placed on concrete!
There COULD NOT BE A MORE SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCE from trying to hit a ball on the COURSE! Tee boxes were uneven, but hidden by a thick layer of grass. This made teeing the ball up to a precise height rather difficult.
Fairways looked beautiful, but the ball plugged upon landing; that included the Drives. I’ve been in FL for six weeks and it’s hardly rained! Why are these fairways hiding a swamp underneath?
Bunkers were terrible. Severe slopes, that caught the ball and left you with impossible stances; instead of releasing the ball towards the bottom. Imagine trying to hit bunker shots, where the ball is constantly a foot above your feet.
Greens were firm and fair!
Rough: not much longer than the fairways!
Pace of play: great.
Staff: Lovely.
This course was far better about 6 years ago.

Practice facilities looked wonderful, but you were expected to play down the range off a MATT.
Tees were covered with a little too much grass and not exactly flat.
Fairways looked perfect, but were vary damp and the drives kept stopping on a dime.
Bunkers were poor. Steep faces with too much sand, so the ball was continuously stuck halfway down the slope.
Greens were firm and fair.
Overall: Nothing like the quality it used to be!

Great course for all levels of play. Pace moved well.

Recent improvements in drainage and irrigation has lead to few wet spots and a more consistent fairway experience..Tees still need to be redone. Over seeding has done well. this is the tougher of the three courses. Nice design and each have their own features and nuances. Fair, but demanding.. Most tee selections seem to play about 200-300 yard greater than the number shown (i.e. a tee color at 6,100 yards may seem to play more like 6,400). If the wind comes up, this can be a tough course!

Nice course and layout for the area, but all of the courses in Marco are overpriced for what you get. It's just golf. The golf course values in Myrtle Beach, Pinehurst and other areas of Florida are a better value.

Just a tremendous disappointment. Conditions were just average and not nearly worth even the Hot Deal price. They are closing this course down for a couple of months to put in new irrigation and more, and it just appears they are trying to grab as much as they can without putting anything back in. We've played 6 courses since we have been down and this is by far the most disappointing.

Played here several times in past 10 years and today the course was in poor shape. Tees were bad. Fairways was burnt out and sparse.
Greens were in good shape though. Disappointing

Have played here a half dozen times over the past year, I will put it up there with any public or semi-private course in SWFL. Always in great shape, greens are firm but true, and the layout is fantastic!
