always a pleasure

After a friendly welcome in the ProShop we found all facilties in good shape. The Driving Range and Putting Green are well kept, Fairways and Greens in very good condition.
Pace of play is very acceptable, Marshall and service throughout the round friendly and helpfull.
Fun to play - although some holes are very tricky. Verry nice landscaping and plenty of water.
We will come back.

Flamingo

We played early and the pace of play was great. Our round took less than 4 hours! The Lely Resort has the best greens in town. The greens hold well hit approach shots and the greens are very fast.

Flamingo Course

Solid test of golf. Pricey, but what isn't in Naples? If you can't carry 150yds stay away. Well protected greens by both water and sand. Great course for intermediate to advanced players, but would be a very frustrating course for the 15+ HCP. Bring lots of balls.

Nice GPS in cart is a bonus.

Fun and challenging

Nice course, not too narrow fairways but if wander off, you can throw up some big numbers. Small greens but they are fair, a well manicured course. We played in a high wind, so it wasn't crowded. Really nice pace of play. Would definitely play here again.

Bring your own clubs

I showed up an hour early and specifically purchased the Robert Trent Jones course. I was moved to the lesser course because the starter felt it necessary and against my will as I was a single with no group. The rental clubs were $50 and I honestly wouldn't have bought the whole set for that. Looked like children had been hitting rocks with them. Mismatched set with weak shafts were all that was available. The 5 iron was two inches shorter than the the 8, which I noticed after hitting the 5i 20 yards short. Course condition was ok. I really didn't want to play the course they stuck me on. Disappointed honestly.

Fast greens! Great course conditions!

great experience from check in, range time, tee time and playing partners. Pace was under 4 hours at 7 am, greens were lighting fast, tee decks and surrounds also in great condition. Looking forward to playing again.

Solid

Played Flamingo. Good course but from time to time a bit boring. One cannot say bad things about it but there is also no wow about it. Expected a bit more from Robert Trent Jones design. However, better then Mustang.

Christmas at the Flamingo

We absolutely enjoyed our Christmas round of golf on the Flamingo course at Lely Resort. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was in good condition and very playable. The greens were in great shape but not overly fast. Maybe a little over-priced, but probably in line with the quality of the course and the Naples area.

Good course but not great

We played this for the first time and for the rate we paid were neither disappointed nor pleased. The course is in average condition with numerous bunkers but few water hazards when played from the front tees. If we had paid the normal rate, we would have been disappointed in the condition of the course. Very friendly staff however! Did not use the dining facilities.

Flamingo is the better pick

Good public course, excellent range and short game areas. Straightforward layout, very playable.
I played with my wife and we were paired with another twosome. I'm a 10 handicap and like to play fast, so the five hour round waiting on most shots was the biggest negative. Despite that, I'll play again.

Flamingo Course at Lely

This is a great course, challenging, but not so much so that you cannot score well. The starter sent three twosomes out behind us, kind of crazy, should have paired two of them up together.

Quality

The layout from the champions tees is difficult and a worthy challenge. However for the price the tee boxes were in below average shape and the greens were extremely sandy
