Above average layout for a Florida course

Mother Nature can really wreak havoc on a golf course, so I don't fault Lely when their lakes begin to encroach onto the fairways and greens. Needless to say it was cart path only for our round. Still the course held up rather well all things considered. The staff advised us immediately upon our arrival of the conditions which I really respected, instead of waiting until we had paid and then springing it on us. All in all it was a really good round and I would definitely go back and play the course again.

This is a beautiful resort course but unlike most resort courses, is very challenging.

12:55 tee time w/ Leah for $22.26 thru Golfnow using Golfnow rewards discounts. I actually booked the Mustang course but check in person allowed us to play this course instead when I told him I actually preferred to try this course. Well stocked pro shop inside a huge resort clubhouse. Ice & water station by the club house. Nice practice range/area. Battery powered carts w/ windshield & rain cover in back, & has GPS also. Gorgeous tee boxes, fairways, & bunkers. Was told greens recently punched & sanded but saw no evidence of it & they rolled fast.

Dave the cart attendant was AWESOME

Th course had been airrated but still ok ..the desk check in Gary was ok he could be more welcoming ...but ok ...the cart attendant was "GREAT" in the many, many years of playing Lely DAVE(an older man) was very helpful i.e. he is the first attendant to say to me "TAKE THE CART " it's easier to get to the pro shop ...after the round he actually cleaned my clubs the last time I played Lely about 5 days ago their was an older tall attendent how missed my sand wedge ..9 iron and did't put my driver head cover on and left it in the cart basket ...I realized it only 2 days lter and had to go back to the course and ask if it was in the lost and found and there it was....I had given the attendant a$5. tip....his service was not worth it...I am in a customer relationship job on a boat and KNOW good and bad service... I'm not being picky but truthful.....

I have played this course several times. It is impossible to get a drink or sandwich on the course. Course conditions where a little dry but given the time of year things where pretty good

Very good layout and good conditon

The Lely Flamingo course has a good blend of challenges. Greens well guarded, lots of sand and water.
Greens rolled fast but good. could not sink a putt, but that was my problem.
Practice amenities very good and convenient.

Entertaining course

The course is varied and challenging with water hazards and lot of sand traps.
Unfortunately, the score card on our car was for the wrong course which somewhat threw us of at the beginning but the GPS helped us to navigate the course.
The course has a lot of "no car allowed" which made a lot of walking around with several clubs around the greens as we could not see the terrain behond the greens which were fast and easy to over- shoot.
All summed up, we had a good time!

Two great courses

The facility was great, it was nice to have two options for courses. We played the flamingo course. For the experience golfer it's awesome, for us it was a little tough. But we still had a blast and I would recommend the Lely resort to anyone.

Not worth the money

Played in very wet conditions (cart path only) . Extreme rain the previous night and morning. Realistically the course should have been closed due to the poor conditions . There is nothing about Lely that stands out. A flat , open nondescript course . I will not play there again
