Lose balls

Too much water. Holes where you must shoot over water twice or take short shot to get into position for the next shot. Tee markers were mostly flat on ground and hard to see, we backed up a couple times. Lost numerous balls but usually only lose one ir two balls on other courses. They are proud of the number of balls you will lose. They even told us to make sure we had plenty of balls. The course is pretty and greens were in good shape. Pace of play was good and all personel were nice.

The course is in terrible shape

Many fairways, greens and tee boxes need serious attention. It’s not worth the $78 per person we paid. We wouldn’t go back. There are too man other nice golf courses around. The people in the pro shop were very nice.

Very Good Experience

Played on a Wednesday during post-Christmas vacation week. Course was very busy, but pace of play was very good. Staff did a great job monitoring the groups. Pro Shop, beverage, and outside service staff were friendly and professional. There was no beverage cart service though, not a huge factor. Course was kept up pretty well and wildlife was abundant.

Course was in fairly good shape. A few greens were rough with sand all over them. Pace of play was great. 3 hour round for a twosome.

Tight course with fast greens

Well kept course with a tight and challenging layout. Don’t be fooled by short yardage. This course tests all golfing skills, especially proper course management. Fun to play and one that could be played over and over again without getting bored.

Playing the Dunes

We love the Dunes. The water, the wind, the challenge and the staff. However, just played and the course is in bad condition, the greens are close to sand traps. For the $$ they want we won’t be going back this year unless there is major improvement. Very disappointed

Short and tight with lots of water. Some greens were sanded and other aerated. 5400 from the tips I put a worthy challenge.

2020 Mid December Play

Great course for position playing. Not all about the long drives and the mid iron onto the green. Lots of water hazards everywhere. Fairways were in great shape. Sand hazards in great shape. Greens were in fair condition. Some aerated with sand. Was not made aware of

that before play.

Green fees at $105 were a bit excessive but

you are paying for location. $70-$80 green

fees would have better reflected the current course.conditions. At $105 green fees, I don’t expect to find aerated and sanded greens.

Still. A challenging course that requires accurate down the middle drives, planned layups and small margins for error around several of the greens due to water hazards. Wildlife abounds.

Water birds of Sanibel keeping clear of resident crocodiles.

Lots of water if you have a bad slice, but not so bad if you can hit it reasonably straight. Fairways are wide and par 3's are short. Course is in excellent shape.

Friendly staff. Pace of play was great. Course in great shape with challenging, quick greens. Lots of hazards that will penalize wayward shots.
