Course was in great shape

Would love to play again had a great time playing this course. People were friendly and helpful. The only thing I didn’t get was carts had to be in by 7 pm and it is light till 8 pm. We got our round done in about 3 hours 40 minutes. Looking forward to next time I get the opportunity to play this course.

Great vacation course

Played this course during spring break. Wife and kids at the beach and the men played a round. Course was in great shape. Lots of water hazards. Lost more balls than normal. Can’t wait to comeback and play again.

The Dunes on Sanibel

Beautiful course! If you don’t like water, this one isn’t for you. The front 9 was absolutely gorgeous. The back 9 still needs some work with the fairways but after suffering through three hurricanes in the last five years it’s understandable.

The round is pricey and I’m not quite sure it’s worth $189 but it is winter and it’s Florida. Fortunately, I was able to find a great rate on Golf Now.

Overall I would recommend this course. It’s not long but it’s challenging.

Conditions amazing

1st time playing here. A little pricey and expected some issues with conditions due to hurricane recovery but……other than a couple of holes on the back nine that were cart path only allowing grass to fully grow in, the quality of the grass was amazing every where (greens, fairways, rough and and tee boxes) The cart path holes as well other than a few well marked GURs.

Don’t be fooled by the short yardages on the scorecard and think you’re ready for the tips. Tell the started your handicap and kind of pled you are and he’ll set you up…..or get humbled. As a couple of trips a year guy to the area, this will be on our list next year for sure.

Fun course- USA wins the gold medal!

The course was broadcasting the hockey game on the loudspeakers!! We had a blast! Greens in great shape. Patchy spots in fairways especially on back 9. Pace of play was right at 4 hrs. We needed a cold suds after the round but bar was closed due to private event. Since I paid in excess of $170 for the round, I thought I would have a couple of beverage options after the round. The young dude in the pro shop was a bit snarky but the cart barn / starter were super friendly.

Water, water everywhere!

The course is challenging because there is water everywhere. My approach to each hole was to play the holes shorter rather than risk flying to far, too left, or too right. I lost a sleeve of balls due to water hits, but it was a fun day and a good course. I look forward to playing again hopefully next week.

Good greens, friendly staff.

Beautiful day, the greens were in great condition, fast but not punishing. Moved along nicely, finished in just over four hours.

Great day on Sanibel

Paired with a couple from Chicago. All of us had a great time. There were a few repair areas on some of the holes, but all the greens were in great shape.
