Never played such bad fairways

I have never played on a golf course with such miserable fairways in my golfing career! There was almost no grass, just brown earth. 100$ for this golf course is an absolute cheek!

Still recovering from Ian

Greens were in very nice condition but slow. Fairways are spotty and still need grass on every hole but just pick, clean and place. Support this course as it recovers from Hurricane Ian.

Needs upgrade

The course fairways is in very poor condition, mostly hard packed dirt with little grass. The greens however are in good shape.

They really should not be charging these high prices for this quality.

No bathrooms except at clubhouse.

recovering golf course

We had an excellent time playing this course. The course is recovering from the major storm of a couple years ago which damaged it.

Many of the fairways had large areas that were obviously underwater and now have little to no grass. However there were also many areas of good fairway grass to hit from. They are still a work in progress, no doubt but we felt good about helping them by supporting their effort.

Greens were excellent and tee boxes were better than some other courses we've played. It looked like several had been re-soded and were abover average. It was a fun layout and very friendly staff.

It’s great for a lot of reasons

It depends what you are looking for. I have a place in captiva and playing golf off island is tough. Sanibel golf course is close, the greens are great, the layout is interesting, fairways are beat up but who cares. Roll it 3 feet find some grass and play. They are trying to recover from the hurricane and I’m happy to help. Give ‘em a little cash and have a fun round! If you are a golf jerk this isn’t for you. If you want to have fun and just get out there and play this is great.

Under maintenance, we'll kept

Obviously there was a MAJOR hurricane that hit this course recently, but this maintenance team is phenomenal. The greens were in top 5 shape of the best courses I've played, and I've played some big name courses. The staff was terrific and the starter was the best. I will definitely play this course again.
