Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course

Well over half the greens and fairways were burnt brown and in terrible shape. . Felt we should have been informed of this when making payment .

They are redoing the course this summer, don’t spend money to come out here, they don’t warn you of this going on in advance. Wouldn’t spend $20 to play out here.

Do NOT play this course now. They have just killed all the grass and are reseeding it....

it lookslike the surface of the moon and the fairways are like concrete

its a good course but wait till the grass grows back in fall

I live locally and have enjoyed playing here throughout the season. However, All the grass was killed off the day before I played and my booking did not supply any warning of radical change. The greens were preserved, however, all fairways and rough were brown and dead. Very few people played so I was sent out as a single and played the 18 in 2 1/2 hrs.

The fairways were just treated with chemicals and were burnt . There was little to no grass. Before paying green fees , golfers should be told that the course was being worked on. The conditions were not worth the price of the green fees.

The course is about to undergo complete re-grassing. All of the grass was sprayed with grass killer and is brown. It would have been nice to know before paying $120.00 that the entire course was dead!

Fun, not so challenging course, great for a couple of guys from the northeast on their first round of the season. Friendly staff. Only issue was the quality and composition of the one set of rental clubs issued.

The greens were fabulous but the rest of the fairways are under renovation and will be unplayable very soon

I really enjoyed this track. Course was in great condition despite it being the end of the high season. Early Sunday morning tee time meant I had a very pleasant 3-and-a-half hour round. Greens were very hard and fast but true. Overall a great experience.

We have played Lely several times and had excellent rounds. Today however, we showed up to the tee box several minutes early only to find a group of older gentlemen who claimed they were next to go off which was completely incorrect. Starters did nothing to tell them to wait for us to go off and to stick with their assigned tee time. Absolutely spineless move by a starter. The men claimed they were members and thus felt a false sense of entitlement, and were very unpleasant during our interaction when they were in the wrong…do not join a public-private course if you don’t want to deal with the public component. The assistant pro refunded us but we Will not return here after that interaction and have lost all respect for the staff here.

Course is a good deal with hot deals

Much better shape than previous years

Play the Lely Resort courses on a regualr basis. The condition of the Flamingo is the best I have seen for this time of year. This course is far more difficult than the Mustang with many ball-losing opportunities. People in the area are generally friendly (players) and staff seem to be interested in everyone having a good day.
