Painful

Painfully slow play with no ranger. Twosome ahead of our threesome and still painfully slow. Played front nine twice on recommendation of third player who was a member. Otherwise we would have completed 15 if lucky. Naples courses overpriced and poorly managed. Why? Because they can?

Nice Comeback after the Hurricane

Played here 10 Times last year, always enjoyable, but returning I had grave concerns over the course condition after the hurricane. Other than some noticeable tree loss and some damaged turf repair it was in tremendous shape and look forward to returning!

Lely - August 19, 2017

Early morning start and the sun was starting to come out. It was warm and there was some moisture on the grass. 4 of us teed off and began a really nice day of golf. The fairways and bunkers were in solid condition. And the layout, as always, was challenging. The one drawback were the greens. Many patches, dirt spots and sand everywhere. I understand that they went through an aerification of the greens within the last month or so. Otherwise, it was a very good day for golf.

Flamingo at Lely Resort

Flamingo is one of two courses at Lely Resort, the other, Mustang, was out of commission. So was the club house, and had to make to with portaloo in the car park. At $55 plus taxes the overall experience was not good. Course design is fine, but some fairways with ruts in, and greens variable in quality and pace. Lots of work going on on the course but workmen didn't cease strimming and chopping when we were taking shots. Avoid the course during the low season. Hugely overpriced.

Nice track!

The course was in great condition especially considering all the rain in the area recently. The layout was interesting and the course moderately challenging.

Interesting Course

We have been wanting to play this course but didn't want to spend the money for the usual green fees. The hot deal was a great price so we couldn't wait to play. The course is very picturesque and has some interesting layouts. Two of the holes share the green - the holes are on opposite sides of the green. Unfortunately, this time of year is rainy so the course was wet and a little muddy. Just before the 9th hole it started raining. We sat in the cart and waited out the shower. After the 13th hole we saw lightning so we ended our game. The carts have a computerized scoring system which was fun to use. The course was very quiet so we started before our tee time and didn't have to hurry. I'm sure during season it is much busier. We hope to play the course again in better weather.

Lely in review

Playing at Lely, on the Mustang course, you would have such high expectations. And this course provides those lofty goals! This course is challenging without being like the US Open. It is elegant in its' appearance. And it is such a great deal in the summertime when the snowbirds decide to migrate back north. You have to play the course to understand what I mean. Just play it!

Lely Resort is ok

The day I was there it had rained tons so it was restrictions on many of the holes and that effect the game as well. Some of the holes where really nice, and some was a bit boring. The condiction of the course was overall not to bad, but far from the best I have played this summer.

I also had to play alone. The round was quick, but not as nice as when you play with others.

Can't believe they charged full price.

I like the Lely complex. Played Flamingo and Mustang several times. I paid full price and soon found that the greens had been aerated recently. Had I known I would not have played there.

Flamingo Course Review

excellent overall. Loved the staff and ease of play. The day we played the course was wide open making it feel like a private course. Friendly staff and others on the course. Great course layout making it possible to drive each hole and stay in play.

Highly recommend.
