Scenic

This was our first time playing this course. We were pleasantly surprised. As we were early the starter allowed us to play by ourselves which given these times was very comforting.

This is the first time we ever tipped the starter and bag guys not to touch our clubs.

Course is very scenic and a nice layout. GPS on carts and lots of markers to identify distance to water on tees.

I played the back tees which was still challenging with water on every hole. Greens are postage stamps and little slow but if you hit the the flag you can expect the ball to stop abruptly which is a bonus with such small greens. As this was a free round on Golfnow I did not comment on value for the money.

Was nice to see the starter and the pro shop workers wearing gloves and clearly taking the spread of this deadly virus.

We had a new accessory, a bottle of Mr clean disinfectant.

We will be back next year for sure.

A great golfexperience

During our holiday on Sanibel We decided to play Dunes golfcourse. We were lucky with the weather almost no wind. All Homes have water, first nine was shortsen but although a challange. Back nine was tougher, lounger and and more challanging. We enjoyed the layout and the atmospher. It took us 3hours30minutes.

We can really recommend this golfcourse!

Nice mix of holes

Enjoyed the course overall. Lots of water, but there is enough fairway to find and set up a scoring opportunity if you play smart. Greens were in excellent shape. Played 3 rounds from the tips and score improved each day. The only downside was dodging the maintenance crew on several holes during peak times. Looking forward to playing this course again.

Poor condition of fairways.

The front nine is in poor condition and lined by houses. The second nine is much better. The hype on the website makes you think you’ll be in a nature paradise and we were willing to make the drive out to Sanibel. You can play a lot better courses for $90 and easier to get to also. The restaurant was closed for maintenance and the bartender was not friendly to say the least

Dunes Golf & Tennis

Short course but challenging, lots of water. Only hit driver 4 times, lots of lay ups off tees. Greens were in great shape as was the rest of the course. Teed off at 9:00 as a foursome and played in 4 hours, good pace of play. A little expensive but it is Sanibel.

Best course I've played for scenery

Awesome, alligators, flocks of birds dozens of species, fish jumping, flowers, very cool. Course is a bit short but makes up for it with difficult layups and dog legs and water hazards. The greens are very good shape but very nasty alot of slopes and they are elevated.

Would definitely play again.

Fun round on challenging greens

Fun course with lots of water and extremely difficult greens. If you hit your spots and control your distance well, you can score. But if you miss the green on your approach, it is highly likely you will have a difficult shot to an undulating green. The front nine is shorter and will force you to use a variety of clubs off the tee. The back is longer and plays like an entirely different course. Overall, we enjoyed out round very much and look forward to playing the course again!

A fun short course

It is always a treat to play the Dunes. The greens were in excellent shape and I never had a bad lie in the fairway. The pro shop staff was exceptionally helpful and courteous. There was a snafu with my booking the tee time through Golfnow, but they resolved it without any additional stress to me.

One last note for anyone playing the course. Take whatever club you need to be in the fairway - even if it's an iron. It's easier to score from the short grass than from the water.

First visit to this course

Course is not long , but played all holes from back tees and must drive over water frequently . Some over 200 yds.

Course knowledge seems important.

Viewed a lot of wildlife , mostly birds but also two ten foot long aligators on banks, This is really nice to see.

Would definitely come back and play if the price is right.

Soggy but Nice

Mildly rainy weather and course was wet but drained well and was in excellent shape. Staff was great getting me out early and I was never held up. Great experience and excellent course despite slightly wet conditions.
