Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course

challenging yet enjoyable trek through neighborhoods of lely resort. best public course in south naples/marco island area.

Both courses at Lely are always well maintained, and provide a good challenge for any level golfer. Staff is cordial, and you get good value for your money as long as you are not paying their rack rate.

Course is a very nice track. Need rangers to speed up play. Way too slow even for a resort course! Would love to play it in 4 hours but not 5 1/2.

Over all great course Greens were awsome fast but not unfair. Back nine was more of target golf off the tee fairly short from green tees, which was 6600 yards.

played the lely flamingo course. overall very good experience. no issues with the staff or the condition of the golf course. pace of play was good. greens rolled nice, but had to get used to them being very firm and not receptive to incoming shots. played from the white tees and thought it was fair.

Very nice venue with all appropriate amenities - clubhouse, range, and very good service. With each course having 250 rounds per day they are in very good condition.

Typical Florida golf with challenging approaches. Playable greens in great shape. Watch your second on par fives and lay up reco for high handicaps.

Fun to play excellent variation from one hole to the other

Great track, well manicured with lots of sand and water.

The course was difficult, with hard greens that did not easily accept chip shots without much roll. Overall the course was in so-so shape with fairways that were not well manicured. Next time I would play somewhere else.

Have played both courses multiple times over the past two winter seasons and enjoy Flamingo's layout over Mustang's. These courses are always busy and the staff, especially the starter, do their utmost to get you off on or before your designated tee time. Flamingo is an average to an above average course relative to the other top-rated/recommended courses I've played here in SW Florida.

Played Flamingo. Wide fairways requiring a good second shot. Par 3s all had water in play. Looked intimidating at times, but very fair. Really worth the trip and price...even in season.

The only complaint would be that it appears that some of the on course rest room facilities were not as well attended to as we would have liked.

My wife and I played early in the morning and sped around the course, which flows through a fairly well landscaped development. The fairways were in good shape and greens in excellent condition (probably 10+ on the stimpmeter). Par 3s are very demanding and not short hitting female friendly. Found the sand to be very heavy. Would enjoy playing it again.

No carts available when we arrived. After checking in we waited approx another 10 minutes before we had a cart. Checked in with the starter and were told they were running late. Hit some balls and check back. We did and were sent to the tee. Except for the first hole, we waiting on every shot and at times there was a group on the green, group in the fairway and two groups on the tee box. No ranger to keep things moving. Nice course but way too long to take to play. Our first nine took over 2 1/2 hours. When we got to 10 and a group was waiting to tee off, with one in the fairway, we quit!

Very nice track. pace of play was only 3 hours 20 minutes. We had a threesome and all of us carry a 6 handicap.

Played the Flamingo course (Trent Jones designed) at Lely and it was great. My home course is also a Trent Jones course, Cherry Hil in Ridgeway Canada.. Flamingo had many similar features. Fast true greens, lots sand, water on many holes. I'm in Naples for a week and we will play Flamingo again.

Second time we've played here and pleased we came back. Course is interesting off a variety of tees. Lots of water and birdlife to go with it.

Pace of play for a full course was good at just over 4 hours. Greens slick as they all seem to be out here and you need to be the right side of the hole to have a chance of holing anything.

Staff efficient but not overly chatty but then we were there to golf not talk, and they were busy! Good menu in the clubhouse and lots of Sam Sneed memorabilia. Would definitely play again.

I live at Lely and play the Flamingo and Mustang courses often. Both are good resort type courses with Flamingo Island being a bit more difficult. Staff is friendly and the courses are usually in decent shape. In season pace of play can vary widely. Today was 3.5 hours but can stretch to close to 5 hours when very busy.

The only real complaint is the in season rates are way too high. These courses are not worth $160 but if you are flexible as to the time you want to play you can get it at a reasonable price. A noon tee time today was $70. Summer is a bargain, $25 with a summer membership.

Quick play, we'll maintained, love the greens. Only criticism bag boys need training in customer relations. Disinterested almost rude.
