The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club

We had to wait one full tee time before we could tee up. Play was slow. Fairways had bald areas and needed work. Greens were fair. Bring a lot of balls because there is water everywhere. Even at a discount this course is overpriced.

Rated slightly better than Ponkapoag in Canton Ma., a legendarily bad course made famous by Rick Riley of Sports Illustrated. Burnt out in January, ground under repair everywhere. Tight short and narrow with lots of water. Quick round, however, since sanded greens were so bad that we accepted 2 putts on each hole. I'd rather go bowling than play here again. I'm guessing this review will not get on the website. For the record, I did not play the course, my sister did and she is a member at Ponky. Also, for the record, she says I'm being overly generous in my assessment..

Challenging course with water on just about every shot. If your game is on, there is no problem to score well. Short course.
Will return. Picturesque.

This course is all about water and this is what makes this course challenging. But it's also what it makes it beautiful and nice to play.

Some of the fairways are just like carpet. Greens are ok.

Great golf, great day !!!

We played on Christmas Eve Day and it was very busy. The personel in the Pro Shop were not friendly. The starter and assistant was friendly and organized, despite the large crowd gathered to play. The club has lots of water (on every hole) and is extremly challenging. Nice scenery with good fairways and good greens.

Played The Dunes twice while on vacation here. Came back the second time due to the great shape the course was in and the value $ you get for excellent greens, staff, and electric carts with GPS monitor. Bring a few extra balls for the water or play conservative! Beautiful course!

Great staff...fast, small greens...only need a driver on 3-4 holes...very fun.

Had a great time, lots of wild fowl and aligators. More water than fairways, so take lots of balls! Most of the fairways are edged in water down the right side, so leave your slice at home.
The price of rental clubs caught me out, and they looked as if they had been used for ploughing the day before, I had to clean them before use.
Appart from that I would play here again. Nice and tight. Take your camera!

Beautiful course with lots of water. Luckily I was well prepared with extra balls...
Unfortunately I could not play one hole because an alligator was sitting next to tee box.

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 .

A nice tour driving to Sanibel Island, friendly cooperative staff, a well mainteained course with also challenging greens, we are watching the Dubai Classic these days, almost soundless buggies, all add up to a well spent day.

High quality reasonable prize

The overall is a very nice course, well maintained,
greens are not to fast, water is in play at every holes, which makes it hard but nice to play

Shorter but tight course bounded by water on most holes. You don't need the Driver on every hole but you will need accurate approach shots to score well.

Really enjoyed the course, the wildlife, and all of the lost golf balls. The water on every hole keeps things challenging. While it was a bit slow, overall a good golf experience.

When the wind blows you won't break 80. Back 9 is a real test of your complete game. Always play this over the other Sanibel course.

When playing this piece of land within a huge lake you have to use your brain for your handicap, interesting!

The course has a bit of a forced layout. Water everywhere, must have patience and a strategy to enjoy it. The greens are very small and grainy. Overall conditions were middle of the road. Enjoyed the ride to Sanibel.

Yardage is short but water on every hole so back off the driver whenever possible. Course was in good condition and greens were a challange.

Nice course in great condition. Challenging due to the water and sand.
Great and helpful staff.

Helpful staff. As a single, they put me out on the back nine because the front nine was mostly 4-somes.
Water on most holes and my slice consumed a lot of balls. Greens in good condition but not real easy and sometimes tough to judge. The rough is short but stiff grass so stay oin the short stuff.
Cart GPS acted up a little, sometimes had to change holes manually.
