Alligator on course Photo submitted by u000004256901 on 12/25/2012
Beautiful Course, for much less money
This course has a beautiful setting. Pretty vegetation, water, and lots of alligators can be seen. However, it is not worth paying $110 for the shape the greens are in. By far, the worst greens I have ever played on, even considering beginner courses with lots of amateurs playing on them. The fact that they are still charging what would seem to be full price is an insult to the game. If the greens are replaced it would be a very enjoyable course.
Nice but not that nice.
Nice course with a lot of wildlife activity. The greens need some work with sandy and low growth areas on numerous holes. Too many golfers on the course at one time for my taste. I was paired with two members and another single and we had a great time. No need to start on the 10th at 730 AM. OK value for the money.
Hey "jackstraw63" we appreciate you taking the time to leave a second review and are glad you enjoyed the company of the golfers you were paired with.
Wildlife and greens
Beautiful area with lots of wildlife doing their thing - gators in the gallery, pelicans and osprey feeding in the water, and other waterfowl grazingy. The poor conditions on the greens were a contributing factor to this rating. Many had sandy patches that made for difficult pin placements and were part of play on most holes. The other annoying thing was too many golfers on the course. We teed off before 9AM and we started on the 10th hole...am I missing something here after all it was Wednesday morning. My playing partners made the round most enjoyable as I booked as a single. For the money, I expected better...but understandable for the traffic on the course.
Hey "jackstraw63" we are happy you enjoyed the scenery but apologize you were not happy with the condition of the greens. We are constantly working to improve and hope you will return soon so we can provide a fully enjoyable experience. Thank you so much for coming out to play and providing your feedback!
The dunes
Walk on members holding up play. Great course
Glad to hear you enjoyed the course! We're sorry you got held up. Thank you for coming out to play!
The shine taken off the Dunes
I have loved this course since first playing it over 20 years ago and have played it several times each year since. Short, even from the tips, but accuracy is the key with lots of water, small greens and OB close by on several holes. Wonderful island setting, and lots of wildlife to see. BUT played here in Octobed 2015 and the greens were poor, they are now shocking with bald sanded patches, several greens had fairly crude turfed repairs. Spoiled it fo rme big time....should be clearly highlighted to golfers before booking, and reflected in the price. I appreciate there had been lot of rain but several other noteable courses I played in the area had no such problems. For a course you simply must play it isn't good enough. Hopefully better before my return in Oct 2016. When in good condition this is some of the best fun golf courses you can play in SW Florida.....bar none. Still love it....
As a long time golfer of The Dunes, we appreciate your time to provide this feedback. We are constantly working to improve conditions and look forward to seeing you back in October to provide a better experience. Thank you for coming out to play!
good course - very very slow play
Course has lots of water but was well manicured, greens were in good shape except for one. Problem was extremely slow play, had to wait on every hole to hit and had to wait on virtually every hole to hit to green. Need much better marshalling. Given the price to play there they need to do better job of getting pace of play up or increase the time between starts.
We apologize if the pace of play was a bit slow on the day you joined us. We do our very best to keep rounds under four hours and thirty minutes and truly apologize if your round took longer than that. We hope you will return so we can prove to you this was a one-time issue. Thanks again for coming out to play.
wonderful wildlife
Very enjoyable course, greens were a bit ropey but that was probably because of the recent rain. Look forward to returning
Thank you for coming out to play! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your round and the wildlife. We have gotten a lot of rain lately and hope you get the chance to return once the sun also returns! Thanks for the review.
Beautiful
The course was beautiful. Water on all holes and multiple tees to be accomadating to anyone playing. The most wildlife and scenery I have experienced in the area. Great for an avid golfer or a person just looking to spend a beautiful day in a beautiful location. The only thing that could ruin such a beautiful place is playing golf on it. Recommended for everyone.
We sure do have plenty of wildlife - hopefully you were able to enjoy the wildlife from the middle of the fairway! Thank you for the five-star review!
Poor greens
The overall condition of the course was fair , the greens were in very poor condition , 5 hour round wasn't good .
I will not return there to play

excelent layout and challenging
this course is in terrible condition for the price. The greens were disgusting and the fairway and rough lean..dirt little grass.

Been a while!
Haven't played it in a few years-forgot how challenging! Pace of play was OK, considering the crowd , many of whom, I'm sure hadn't played there in a while, if ever!
Staff is outstanding ! Greens were pretty quick! Hope to play it again soon!
Thank you very much for the kind words and great review! We hope you get the chance to come down from Ohio again soon!
Great course for a round while visiting Sanibel
The course was in very good condition. It was an unseasonably cool day with a bit of wind which made the carries over the water trickier. The greens had some bare areas, but those were being patched well and didn't cause any issues nor slowed down the putts at all. Overall, I had a great time and met some wonderful men as playing partners.
Thank you for braving the cool weather! We appreciate the four-star review and the fact that you would recommend our golf course to others. We hope you get the chance to visit again soon.
Decent conditions, very short course, lots of water.
I should have done more homework. The course was much shorter than I anticipated. Not really many places to hit your driver. Water everywhere. Overall an enjoyable afternoon round, but not real forgiving.
We are not the longest golf course around, but if you lose your focus for one shot you can sure pay the price! Thanks for coming out and we are thrilled to hear that you had an enjoyable afternoon.
Water!
Must place your shots. Do not hit for distance, only.
You are spot on there! With water on every hole we are very much a placement golf course! Thanks for coming out.
Nice course, club house needs effort
staff less than friendly in golf shop, but people handling clubs seems disingenuous about their friendly approach, more about getting tips
We very much apologize that you were not satisfied by our by customer service as we strive to provide the highest level we can to all of our guests. We would really like to learn more about your visit and ask that you send us an email detailing your experience at lsivsov@theinnsofsanibel.com.

Watch out for the gators
Bring lots of balls if you are not a precision shot maker. Water on every hole, but very manageable.
Course in good condition and pace of play was slowed by some that wanted to take pictures of the many gators that line the shores of the water.
Thank you for coming out to play! We hope you were able to avoid most of the water, and apologize if pace of play was a little slower than you may have wanted but we can assure you we do our very best to keep pace of play at a reasonable time. Thanks for the review and we hope to see you again soon!
Five day golf package , last day
We love this course, reason layout is beautiful and but not easy. Lot of water! But the nature and all those beautiful birds and alligators. And one crocodile- so you have possibility to enjoy playing in " a bit exotic" course. Only problem was that first time fairways were not so confition than they have been.
Thank you so much for the four-star review and we hope you get the chance to return soon!
Best course on Sanibel Island
The layout of the course is great despite a couple of short Par 3's. There is plenty of alligators to watch and the setup of the course asks for a tactical play. Always a great experience!
Thank you so much for the five-star review and we couldn't agree more that we are the best course on the island - although we may be a bit biased!
Excellent view
Good weather, best view, this time not busy. We will come back next again!
Thank you so much for the five-star review. We are glad that you got to enjoy the weather, the views and the golf. We look forward to seeing you again.
Fun course
Started on the back 9. I forgot how much water comes into play. Pace of play even as a single was fine. The reward was that the front 9 seemed easy after 10-18.
Thank you for coming back to check us out again. There is certainly a good amount of water (which adds to the beauty if you can avoid it). We are thrilled to hear that the pace was good for you and that you enjoyed your time with us. Come on back again soon!
