Sanibel Island Golf Club

First time there the greens were great, a little weird but in excellent condition. They are a salt water resistant grass the ball seemed to bounce around a little but all in all an excellent course, will definitely play it again.

Course Pros; Starter was amazing and seemed to really go out of his way to make sure you had a great outing. A+

New restaurant and bar was really nice, outstanding atmosphere and employees were friendly and accommodating.

Pro shop was nice as well with great clothing options and accessories.A+

Cart girl was very attentive to our needs and very pleasant. She also surprisingly was very knowledgeable about the course layout. A+

Cons; Tee boxes were in horrific shape, mostly sand and weeds.

Several fairways were in rough shape with lots of patches of sand and dirt, clumped up grass on fairways as well.

Rough was extremely high and unplayable on many holes.

Half of the flagsticks were leaning badly causing the ball not to be able to roll in to the cup. No trash cans on the course or ball cleaners anywhere. I fully understand the course is recovering from the hurricanes but the Course Maintenance was poor to say the least.

I had high hopes for our round at Sanibel Island Golf Club, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the expectations.

Course conditions- The greens were awesome, in beautiful shape, everything rolled nice and consistent. The tee boxes were the complete opposite, I have no idea what happened there, but there were multiple boxes that literally had no grass on them, just straight dirt. The fairways and other parts of the course were okay at best. Not a lot of effort being put into the course right now.

The course layout was fun. Beautiful surroundings, full of nature. Quite a few spots where you have to make a club choice whether to lay up, or go big. Love the updated carts with bluetooth speakers and interactive distance screens.

One of my biggest gripes was, there was absolutely no water (to drink) on the course. There is an ice machine at the clubhouse, but not a single place to get water anywhere else. With it being 95 degrees outside, to me that is just unacceptable.

In-season (winter) I am sure the course is very nice, but out of season, it has been neglected a little bit

Nice course for the money. So patching on the fairways but overall a nice layout. A lot of iguanas!!

The course got wrecked from the hurricanes and took a while to come back. Drew planted new seed and it’s really filling in nicely. Greens were great, fairways getting much better. Some tee boxes are beat up but overall, really getting back in shape.

Great layout, but tees are in rough shape. However, most fairways and all greens are in decent shape.

Give the course a wet off-season and continued investments from new owners and it will be recovered to the gem it was before hurricane Ian.

They also just reopened the remodeled bar & grill, which is very nice. Staff are hardworking and friendly.

Greens were in good shape but slow. Tee boxes were in bad shape. No ball washers, or on course water. On the bright side we did see an alligator.

Significantly improved conditions since the recent 3 hurricanes. Greens are in great shape, while fairways are much improved and almost completely grown in. Some tee boxes need work, but overall great conditions.
