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

Return to Lely

I have played Lely before, 2 years ago. The greens were good, but the overall standard of the course was not as it used to be.

I think there are other courses that offer better value for money.

Lely Flamingo

NIce course - greens had been punched not too long ago so they were a little bit rough, but overall very good conditions. The course is nice...played the green tees and not too hard from there but again, very nice. In the off season, the rates are very reasonable. Overall, I would recommend a visit to play here.

Greens were excellent for summer

Played a few other courses while down for the 4th this was next to best in terms of conditions. Summer can be iffy in Naples but Mustang has held up through the heat.
It is a good summer course for sure.

Great Layout, but very poor conditions

Played the Flamingo at a twilight rate. For $70 I left the course ashamed and disgusted that I had spent so much for a course in a condition worst than most munis. The picturesque signature hole you see when google searching the course and on their site (completely surrounded by water) was not recognizable until after the round my threesome admitted that it was the only it could have been. The greens and fringes were hard like rocks, and were very difficult to chip and putt from. The tee boxes were the worst I had ever seen. Not only in terrible shape, but also put in areas of ridiculous inclines of uphill and downhill lies and put in such a fashion that the tees were set so far back on the designated teeing area, that it was hard to make a normal stance nevermind have the opportunity to put your tee a little further back. Fairways were also in bad shape, and the rough was very patchy. We also saw at least three alligators. For the price there are so many better courses in the area. It is a shame to because the layout was magnificent (Robert Trent Jones Design) and the scenery was alright as well.

Challenging yet fun course

The course was in very good condition. Very challenging with lots of bunkers protecting the greens and many water holes. I would play there again.

Lely Flamingo Island Club -- a very enjoyable course for women golfers

I brought a group of 8 women golfers (so total 9 of us) of varying golf abilities (mid to high handicappers) to Lely Flamingo Island Club, and we had an extremely enjoyable time. Lovely course that is challenging but fair. There are some deep green-side bunkers, and water does come into play on several holes, so hitting it straight is important. But even high-handicappers who practice course management can stay out of trouble. The bottom line is that we loved the course, and we had a terrific lunch afterwards in the Sam Snead restaurant. We'll definitely be back!

Pricey, but worth it

I don't have a bad thing to say about the course. Tees, fairways, and greens were all in excellent shape. Greens had recently been top-coated so they rolled pretty fast, but once you get a feel for it on one it's not a problem. The GPS on the cart gives you everything you could ever need as far as yardage to hazards, the cart in front of you, and greens. It also flashes sports updates along the bottom like ESPN. Cart had an ice chest with ice in it on the side. I came around 2:00, and was able to play by myself. Didn't run into traffic until about 8. Play the flamingo course if you can. It's more scenic than the mustang. Worth every penny!
