Tremendous course

Played both the Mustang and Flamingo at Lely and they were fantastic, but if you are only playing one choose the Flamingo. Lay out is challenging and spectacular.

Good value thanks to GolfNow

Had a pleasant round on the Flamingo course. It was VERY wet and cart path only. That said, we had an enjoyable time. As my title suggests, thanks to GolfNow we got good value.

Beautiful, championship-caliber course

I had only visited Lely one other time, and I think we played the Mustang course. I had not been overly impressed with that round.
This year we played Flamingo, and I can't say enough good things about it. Just a gorgeous layout, beautifully maintained, and challenging without being brutal. Plenty of length here- refer to the slope rating, and choose which tees to play wisely. GPS on the carts is always useful. The undulating fairways are generally wide enough but protected by bunkers, and plenty of room in the rough if you're wide off the tee. Greens are generously sized & beautiful, and also guarded by sand.
We got a great deal on GolfNow for afternoon play, and had the course all to ourselves. (It's been a very unusual summer so far- rainy season has been scattered and unpredictable. No guaranteed afternoon t-storms so far this year)
Overall, one of the nicest golf courses I've experienced in recent memory.

The Flamingo is an enjoyable course.

Played as a single in under 3 hours. Fun course, not to difficult. Most of the water is off to the sides and out of play. Wide fairways but enough bunkers to keep it challenging. Conditions were good especially for the summer.17 and 18 are good finishing holes. I had a discount rate which made it a steal.

Summertime in southwest florida

Really can't expect for excellent conditions in the summer. However, for the price and having the course to myself, I would definitely recommend and will play again.

Great layout but terrible greens

The course layout is wonderful but the greens have been recently aerated and rolled horribly. If we had known this we would have chosen another course. That said, under normal conditions this would be a great course to play

This course is fantastic

First time playing the mustang course. In excellent condition and great to be able to have gps usage to know where to hit each shot. The bunkers come into play if one does not keep the shots nice and straight. There is plenty of water coming to play so make sure the clubs that you will play to avoid going to far. I will definetely be back to play this great course

Nice track, poor service

The first time in 15 yrs of golf this has ever happened. The ranage was closed till 9am on my 6:20 reservation, which I was not let out until 7! The first three holes the sprinkles were turned on at the green. In waving down maintenance staff all 3 times I was ignored! The restroom was locked on the back 9 with a key broken off. On 14 of 18 holes there was maintenance crew working in bunkers, fairways, and on the greens. The cart gal was no where to be found. When I mentioned these to the clerk that took my fees his comment was "other then that how did it go"?

The real thing in terms of golf.

Played Lely as our last round for the week and was not disappointed as it was in great shape. Unlike a lot of the courses down here this one is not in between houses as much. Great staff and great track. Will be back for sure next time in the area.

Great course - very poor tee-boxes

Flamingo is one of my favourite courses as it presents a strong but fair challenge for a moderate golfer like me . It's always my first choice so long as the price is not too expensive.

However many tee-boxes were in extremely poor condition,which surprised me greatly as I had never observed this on previous visits.

We also had some extremelt heavy showers which meant that we could not finish the back nine

The two courses here are both excellent but Flamingo is simply more beautiful with more palms and water features.

Flamingo Fun in the sun

Nice course, great challenge. T- boxes were a tad narrow as were a few of the fairways. Water hazards abound, but are manageable.. Loved the in Cart GPS and scorecard. Beverage cart was always on time and well stocked. Overall a great day and a good value. May prices should be a little lower and we hope to play more rounds here..... Final word....A good track, for a good price ,with Good friends==== A great DAY!

Tough when windy

It was windy which made the course much more challenging. Overall it was in good condition with good greens. It is a bit expensive for my taste but I decided to splurge this time.
