Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course

Fl amingo a tough course but good condition. Only saw ranger once. Pace could have been better.

We played the Flamingo course. The staff was fantastic - very welcoming. The pace of play was great. Groups are spread out at least 10 minutes apart. The course provides a very good challenge with several approach shots over water. My biggest challenge was the positioning of fairway bunkers in the landing are of drives. You need to be accurate off the tee or have a good fairway bunker game! We paid $139 for a 12:30 tee time which was more than I normally like to pay, but this course was worth it.

Very nice course in good condition. Fast greens with many bunkers

The Lely Resort is a busy, busy place given they have two 18 hole courses. The pace of play was slow as we had a foursome in front of us that really slowed down on the back. The course layout is difficult. We were disappointed in the course condition given the fee we payed to play. Would try the course again but it is priced pretty high.

We had a really enjoyable day even with the 1-2 club wind that always seems to be at Lely. The course is always a challenge with tight fairways and lots of bunkers.

The greens are firm and fast and not too tricked up

Pace of play was very good and the course was in good shape throughout

The course was beautiful and we played twilight golf which meant the pace of play was super fast. We actually got all 18 holes in. And we had dinner at Sam Snead's which was awesome.

No real memorable holes just a nice course. Bunkers need work, packed sand, maintenance needed. Greens were very good and true. The course was pricey maybe Mustang would be better choice.

All 4 of us believe that the money for the green fees would be best put to work by manicuring the grounds. Hard traps scuffed fairways. Even the holes seemed to rarely be rotated. Sorry. Many of our Lexington Ky friends will be told that this would be the least value for golf dollars.

Five tees and varied terrain. Expensive for what it is and it was not in as pristine condition as other courses in the area.

Not a good value for the money and to add insult to injury finished the round in the dark over 21 minutes off pace with a 1:45 starting tee time.

Course is much less challenging since they put into effect the white/aqua mixture of tees which brought the distance down to 5500 yards.

First class operation. Golf staff very friendly and helpful. Got there early and we could have gone right off. Used their great practice facility to get warmed up.

Several tee and course set up possibilities but we chose plain white which measured about 6,000 yards. We were joined by two really great guys from Ottawa Canada and we had a super time. No one in front and no one behind. Great layout and the greens were fast and true. Generally in very good shape with fairly fast fairways and a cut down rough. Finished with a birdie on the last hole so I will be back. This was the Flamingo course. Sam Snead's tavern is a super spot for lunch, dinner, or a drink.

My son and I played. We had scheduled to play at noon but the starter put us out at 11:30. We got held up slightly on 7 through 9 then that group went in for lunch and we played until 13 where three young boys let us play through so we finished in 3 hours with very little delay. Enjoyed Sam Snead's after the round for happy hour/lunch. We played the green/white course which is about 6200 yards and at 64 that is plenty of distance for me but a little short for my son. Enjoyed the experience but doubt I would pay over $100 to play there

The course just opened from 2 weeks of maintenance.

The the conditions could have been a little better. Fairways were a little sparse and the greens a little bumpy.

First, let me say, there was some confusion with my booking. T time of 6:54 thru Golf Now, paid a good price and used bonus dollars for extra deal. Course was surprised by number, but let me play, telling me "we'll give golf now a call". Went around first out in just over 2 hours for 18. Lovely.

Course was much better than when I played a few years ago. Played through workers about 9th hole, so back side wasn't spruced up, and greens uncut, and a bit rough. However, on front, it was obvious that greens were in excellent condition (as was rest of course). They do get premium dollars in season, 99 now, and even more come Jan. There are certainly better bargains around. With so many good courses in the area, choose value perhaps over a name.

The Course was in excellent condition, the putting green and driving range are excellent ..... and Sam Snead's Tavern is great.
