The nicest experience golfing in 2022 for me an wife

From start to finish the experience was very very impressing. The greens had a few bad spots and since 50% of your shots are on the green that's why I gave it 4 stars on course conditions. The sand and fairways were very nice, and 1st cut was pretty much what I expect in the winter months in Florida The pace of play was just perfect, maybe a minute or two to think about your shot between ea. hole but we were a threesome and a foursome in front of us. so that's just about perfect. Thye hardest part was getting there at the tee time we had, I was staying 7 minutes away, but it took us 25 minutes to get there. Sanibel traffic at any given time to be expected. The staff very friendly and accommodating, will be playing here again. soon, I hope. I had a very nice round and so did my wife and she beat me too. So, I guess I should say it was the course that made me lose. But she is a very good golfer, and she counts every stroke and whomever is with her better also. No mulligans. Lost two balls and they say that's exceptional. She played the gold, and I played the blue with my son. all in all a very pleasant experience. thanks

Good Golf Course

Greens are very good. Fast but fair. Short course (even from the tips) with water on most holes. At times it felt like target golf.

sanibel gem

this course isn't long but it's very strategically laid out. a lot of sand and water come into play. this is a course that makes you think. you need clean approach shots. the course itself is always in excellent shape.

Great course but pace of play way too slow

Great course, beautiful, water in play about every shot, bring extra balls. Pace of play so slow that several groups dropped out. Dunes needs to improve pace of play.

Cool Day

The course air temperature on the day I played was a little cold in the morning at 62 degrees. Greens and fairways were in great shape. The Pro Shop was well laid out with nice inventory. Enjoyed the cocktail bar and the friendly bartender/server. Course layout required strategic placement of drives and fairway irons. I liked the course and look forward to coming back next winter.
