Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course

I have lived in Naples for over 20 years and have played both the Flamingo & Mustang courses many times.

The overall conditions (Greens, Fairways & Rough) on the Flamingo course have deteriorated considerably over the last few years. The pricing is an insult for the product they present.

In addition LELY does not have enough golf carts for the players they book which means you must wait for a cart instead of warming up for your round.

Overall a very disappointing expensive and frustrating experience. There are many other better options to play golf in and around Naples!

You can find several courses in the Naples area that are in much better shape for the price. It was on the high end for public golf and not worth it. At $125.00 a round, I would not play it again. A $75.00 a round course at best.

A great course, well worth the green fee and in superb condition.

We did have an electric golf cart go dead after nine holes. Greens were a bit hard an did not hold shots all that well. The grass was not as nice as Cypress Woods where they have planted new grass two years ago.

Course getting a little tired this far into the season but still pretty good. Played lated morning/early afternoon and zero roll on the ball in the fare ways

WE booked course on 48 hrs hrs notice an got the the first tee time.

My sense is that this was once a great course. Now it seems a bit past its prime. Greens look fast but play fairly slow. We got a significant discount through Golfnow. I feel sorry for those who pay full price for this course

We had a great time on this course. Watch the dog legs, if you don't know the course, follow the map on the screen. Only one pin placement was wrong on the screen. GREAT ROUND!!!!!!!

Fun and challenging layout that rewards the thinking golfer. Conditions are good and rough is visitor friendly. Facility was great but greeters were a little standoffish. Overall good day and would return.

Great experience on Golfnow! Love the site and rates!

The course conditions were nice. Best greens we played. The pace was nice also. As a first timer we were excited to see carts with built in GPS. Turns out they were useless. My partner said that is the first time when the GPS was a negative. Giving bad yardages and not updating was very frustrating.. Really detracted from the experience.

Course is fun to play as long as you play the correct tees. If you play the championship tees or the blue tees and they are beyond your abilities, you are not going to have any fun. A number of challenging and
very interesting holes. This course is not your ordinary layout.

Options are limited for public courses in napales. I had a hard time judging value as a result. At $100 I'd be curious to compare against some of the other options in the price range. I certainly wouldn't avoid this course, but the next time I'm down here I'll likely look for another option. Either way, the course was average in my mind, but the people were extremely nice.

Nice course, many long carries over or along water to well protected greens. The greens had a lot of fertilizer and did not break as much as one would expect. This course gets tons of play, so plan on at least 4:15 for the round.

Good course you pay for weather not golf A lot more courses in USA much better & better priced you pay for weather not golf

Poor conditions, get a better greens keeper and get off your wallet for better conditions. Better courses for the Money!

Every time I have played here the course has been in great shape. The generous use of the practice facility has always been a plus for me.

Arrived at course half hour early. People milling all over place - looked like corporate day half hour before shotgun start. On trying to sign in, frazzled pro told us tee time heavily delayed as they had run out of carts. He had no idea when we could go, and agreed that 18 holes impossible before dark. We cancelled and left through parking lot where dozens of upset patrons were ambushing or negotiating with players to get their hands on their golf carts. Almost forgot - the reason given for the problem was "the holidays have started"! For sure. Won't be back.

Compared to the guest fees at some of the private courses, Lely is a good value

Played both courses. Flamingo a little more challenging than Mustang. Both courses were in good condition. My only complaint would be NO yardage markers anywhere. Too good of a course not to have sprinkler heads marked with yardages. Very good dining facilities and nice range .
