The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club

Second time around. Great staff nice facility. And challenging course.

The Dunes is always a fun course to play. Water everywhere makes it a challenge. It's short, so you're tempted to play the tips. Don't. You'll have much more fun playing tees 2 or even 3. Lots of carries and target golf, but also plenty of places where you can grip it and rip it. If you're not hitting your driver straight here, you'll be losing balls. (Their diver pulls about 400,000 balls out of the water every year!) So club down and play smart…or swing away and enjoy a few hero shots and plenty of splashes. The Dunes appears to have LOTS of members….so the course is very busy and pace of play is accordingly slow…4-1/2 hours. The fairways and greens were lush and plush, but noticeably way too many unrepaired ball marks on the greens…again from lots of play. It always seems pretty pricey ($110 normal and a bit less on golfnow.com), but if you're stuck on Sanibel and don't want to leave the island, you only have 2 options.

enjoyable-not long-but tricky--had to think way around=crocks and alligators VERY close-pretty course.

Es gibt hier keine Bahn ohne Wasser, aber wer einigermaßen gerade schlagen kann, hat viel Spaß. Wer das nicht so gut kann: Ballfach laden. Der Starter hat mir erzählt, dass sie pro Jahr 400.000 Bälle aus den Teichen fischen. Wow, da kommen die Lakeballs her... Ich glaube das.
Die zweiten Neun sind deutlich länger: Wer sich nach den ersten neun Bahnen Hoffnung auf einen guten Score macht, muss sich steigern. Und mit dem Inselgrün der 18 habe ich noch eine Rechnung offen...
Viele Senioren unterwegs, die haben die Ruhe weg, deshalb Zeit mitbringen. Aber das bringt Gelegenheit, die Tierwelt zu betrachten: Ich sah 3 fette Alligatoren.

Alles in allem ein toller Platz, aber jetzt, in der Hochsaison, waren die Teeboxen recht zerzaust. Aber ich komme wieder, trotz der Preise.

Plenty of water which on a calm day you can handle but when it blows you need plenty of golf balls.
My wife and I are moderate golfers H/C 12 and 21.
We were paired with a complete beginner who was having a lesson from her husband (the practice fairway is the place for that). Please check for handicaps.
It spoilt our enjoyment as we were having to be very patient.
Would like to play again but with moderate golfers

Beautiful course in a wetlands nature preserve.
Good fairways and greens. Watch out if you hit left to right take lots of balls.
Very short course so take your friend who usually out drives you by 40 yards. He/she will have no advantage here
Little pricey for the area.

Nice course, well maintained. It was fast to play, and enjoyable. No disappointments, no special thrills.

Short course. Conditions were great. Lots of wild life. Would play again.

This course is a lake with bits of land here and there for the golf holes. If you area low handicap player who can hit the direction and distance you desire every time, then this is a good course for you. If you are a mid teens handicap, take a lot of balls with you. Course was scenic and well maintained and there are many species of waterfowl and the occasional gator!

Staff was very friendly and courteous. Always enjoy playing this course with it's luxurious scenery and wildlife.

Nice Course, lots of watet, challenging holes! Alligators!

Lots of water and it eats up balls anywhere near the edge.

Short course but many interesting holes. Water, water everywhere.

We arrived just in time to get out in front of a group of 16 guys which was smoothly sorted by the starter. As we were finishing, they were on the 13th!
The course is not overly long but there are certainly some tricky holes and we should have been a little more vigilant about distances to water which is there aplenty!
The only disappointment was that we never really saw the ocean which we'd been led to believe was in view on the course. Maybe we're not tall enough!
It did not detract from a very enjoyable round followed by a couple of cold ones.
And the day was topped off by a visit to Golf4less on Summerlin Road. Well worth checking out.

I am well known for my slice, you should see me using my driver!!

Consequently I need a few more balls than usual. But it is a lot of fun. I play it whenever I am in the region.
A beautiful course and if you can hit balls straight, it is not too challenging, but remember it is not only distance, which counts.

I play this course once or twice a year while visiting, Sanibel Island. Convenient because you don't have to leave the Island. Usually in good shape.

If you are able to hit straight, water is not an issue. Checking hole by hole on the internet it looks way more impressive than it is in reality. The course was in perfect condition and the greens are rather easy. I played by myself in 2.15 hours.

We played this course for our second time and it was perfect again, come back

Not easy for beginner golfer but very pleasant to play .Gorgeus vegetation,alligator and birds .Expensive without golfnow but a very good deal with golfnow price. Each hole has his challenge and different layout . A lot of water but intermediate golfer can to enjoy with this golf .
They offer GPS but the cart was without GPS !! So only 4 stars.

While this course is not terribly long, it makes up for it with lots if water, narrow landing areas, and small greens. Better bring extra balls!
