Magnolia Landing Golf & Country Club

Good bang for your dollar in Fort Myers area with prices being what they are. You need to be a pretty good golfer to break hundred first time playing. I’ve played a lot an and pretty much know how NOT to get into a lot of trouble. Greens can be as tough as course,don’t try and read to much into them,get speed down and sav a lot of three putts….

Horrible conditions. Waste of money. Staff friendly. First and last time I’ve played this course.

I'll preface this review as I am pretty critical on reviews and brutally honest.

I booked this round on GN and was really looking forward to playing because I've heard some really good things from another person. The layout is very good...it's a little tricky with water hazards that creep into the fairways and are hidden but I was using a GPS on my phone (they don't have GPS's on carts) so I could see where the water would creep in. The range is an aqua range which I hate because the floater balls not only don't fly the correct distances but they've been hit so many times that they don'y even fly true. I hit one ball that was a big SLOOK (started slicing until it got about 120 yards out then decided to hook). Regardless, they are just there to get loose so I can accept it. The putting green had me a little concerned because it has some pretty large sandy areas where they were losing the greens so they sanded those sections heavy. On the course most greens were satisfactory but a few had the same sandy issues but I understand it's grass and mother nature sometimes makes it difficult. The fairways were long, the bunkers were unkept (which I am a firm believer that if you're going to have bunkers everywhere, maintain them or just make those areas waste areas or long rough but no excuse to have the steep faces on some bunkers didn't have sand pushed up to the edge so it looked like they were washed out and it hasn't rained in a couple of days. The rough is minimal that is playable but you can get some bad lies which is fair. The fringes and run off areas were marginal at best.

All in all, not a terrible course BUT if you're going to charge a premium, make it a premium venue. No way this place is worth a buck and a half...maybe $60-$70 and just because golf is high this time of year down here. I'd like to give it more than 3 stars but based on the overall condition of the course versus the price, I believe 3 stars is about right. For $70, I'd given it 4 stars just because it was about what I would expect for the price.

Heavy rains made things very wet. Course was very playable and conditions were very good considering the weather.

Fun day of golf. Surprised we got on with short notice. Course was in good condition. We were told the greens were slow. I would hate to see them when they are fast. I personally don't like that Florida courses jack their prices up in the winter.... but hey, its America.

Always in good shape and the staff is always friendly.

From the time you drop your bags off, to the turn getting a glizzy and a beer for like 8$ is an absolute steal. Plus the food pretty good as well thanks to the great chef they have.

Great course, nicely maintained. Very friendly staff.

My buddies and I like to play 2-3 times a week and enjoyed playing this course. But current price eliminated this course from our routine.

If you’re a new player to the game I don’t recommend this course! I recommend you practice a lot before coming to this course! One you will lose a lot of balls and two the pace of pace of play is pretty quick! Guys behind have no issue hit towards you if you or your group is playing slow! I had no issue keeping pace but gentleman I played with wasn’t keeping up to speed! Very nice course for the price and just the atmosphere of the place from dropping off the bags and them taking care of them to the end with them whipping my clubs off and take care of cart! I highly recommend if you’re a golf lover!

Arrived 25 minutes prior to our starting time and was immediately told by the bag staff that we were late which wasn’t the best first impression. Made our way to the first tee and had more than enough time to hit a few balls and speak with the starter who was very nice and gave us all the necessary details about the golf course.

Golf course is a nice design and very challenging with a good variety of holes. Saw the Beverage Cart at least three times and she was terrific.

Overall experience was good and would definitely play it again.

I love to get out and do par 72 courses but down here in Florida the Rates Skyrocket due to the Tourist season. This course is nice for $60-75 but is not worth the price this coming January New year when they will raise it probably like last year too $110 or more per person. Will not be playing this course in the Future until next October when the rates drop.
