Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course

A beautiful rolling layout with hidden challenges. Unique for Southwest Florida

Great experience. One of my favorite things about Lely is that you get your own cart and you often get to go out in a twosome. I have no idea why but these hot deals at Lely don't seem to be traditional foursome that you have at other courses. I played with another single, also on a hot deal, on Sunday afternoon. We each had our own cart and played a nice quick round. I really like how it's not foursome after slow foursome at Lely. Prices are always higher but that keeps pace of play faster and smaller groups. Love it.

We got a reduced $100 offer per person on 3 PM on Flamingo course. Everything was perfect. Many 2 person flights so that wr did 18 holes on Flamingo in abt 3 hours. GPS Cart was packed with ice cooled water and complementary tees. Extremely friendly and helpful staff at bag drop zone. Serice cart was on the course and asked if all is fine. We felt 100% taken care of as guests from Germany. Course itself was challanging but fair, very interesting and thoughtful design and in pristine conditions ( especially the greens). All in all highly recommended, no idea what to improve.

Staff from the pro shop to the starters were all very nice, friendly, and helpful. Very nice course layout. Generous fairways. Greens were on the smaller side and whoever set the pins that day must’ve got up on the wrong side of the bed or just felt like punishing people that day. Most, if not all pins, were no more than four paces from the edge, right near a slope, and/or tucked behind a bunker or water. I didn’t mind it but they were not in easy locations. Greens were quick but not too fast, probably 9.5 or so on the stimp. Conditions were good overall. Greens rolled true and never had a bad lie in a fairway, I will definitely items play there again but would wait until a good deal came along. We got a deal for $60 each with a cart online. Regular price $200 so it was a really good deal for a high quality course.

Excellent but very challenging course. Condition was good but not at it's best. Overall 4+ stars. Great value but I got lucky an a GN break on price. A big + is that balls at the range, short game area are included. Bottled water on ice on each cart, towel and tees. Everyone was just great.
