Still in recovery mode from hurricane

Course is still definitely in recovery mode from hurricane 2 years ago. Fairways are half mud half grass. Greens are recovering but still very slow and pin positions are often on side of a slope to make course seem more difficult. Carts are gas and in decent shape. Clubhouse still in rebuild mode. Bar is under construction. Can get beer and soft drinks if you ask at front desk. Sprinklers were on when we got to 10 but they didn't turn off until we were done the hole. Definitely a work in progress.

Overall good time and staff was awesome

The course and amenities were not good over all but what would and should you expect after back to back hurricanes. Anyone who would not understand this would be foolish to do so. This is Florida and if you haven’t experienced a hurricane then don’t judge conditions harshly when seeing the aftermath. The repair and rebuild proceed is certainly not a fast one. Drew on staff was absolutely awesome and could not have been more helpful and kind during the entire time present. The play was not fast, in fact the back nine was extremely slow with a foursome and young child in tow. Other than that one item, it was a great time.

As well as can be expected!

This course has been through three hurricanes in the last two years. They are actively rebuilding as fast as possible. I will play again and again to support the efforts, the back nine is in better shape than the front but the original design is still there and if nothing else creates a little more challenge staying out of the salt damaged areas. Drew is wonderful to work with give the course a try.

Course was in great shape

From the moment I arrived on the property I had an incredible experience. The clubhouse staff was awesome and made sure I had a yardage book as it was my first time playing the course. No driving range, but the putting green was great to warmup on and hit some chips as well. The course itself was in great shape too. I was a bit worried about the conditions after all the weather in the area lately and while there were some low spots with excess water I would say a majority of the course was in mint condition. The greens were awesome, the tee boxes were solid too. I’m only in town for a week so I doubt I’ll play it again, but if I’m ever back in the area I’ll definitely have to play again.

Nice course in recovery

While the fairways and landscaping are still suffering hurricane effects, the greens are pristine. It was a very pretty course to play with lots of avian wildlife and iguanas.

Great course even with hurricane damahes

The course layout is great and the greens in good condition. At some points the fairways still need some recover from the last hurricanes but it’s worth to play this course and help the people getting this great place to fully recover

Staff was extremely friendly!!!

Considering....

I have not played this course since IAN. Decided to play and support local while on vacation. Considering the amount of damage caused by the storm, I was very pleased with the facility and the course. Asked the owner and course manager about the remaining damage, and got a thorough explanation of what they were doing to correct the remaining issues. Both, owner & manager were present and working diligently to fix the issues!

Very PLEASED to support those that provide us relaxation and serene places!!!

Recovering, but will take time, fun little layout

This course was badly damaged two years ago during Hurricane Ian, as was all of Sanibel. The greens have been nicely recovered, are in good shape. Tee boxes are iffy, still being repaired. Fairways hold a lot of water when rained on, slow to drain. Thus lots of standing water and damage, some dirt areas. Paths are sand covered over broken concrete and being worked on it appears. Overall a fun short track, has a ton of potential once repairs are completed. Is worth the price to help the, recover, staff super nice, if minimal. Times to play are readily available. While this can return to a very nice facility, and is trying, has a ways to go. But come out and support their recovery…
