Great Course! Best Greens Around!

This course has the best greens of any course I’ve played in the last 3 years. Some fairway damage from the hurricane but an absolutely beautiful course.

Just understand the difficulties of a small business trying to recover

As you play your round, keep in mind that the course (fairways) are void of grass in many areas on virtually every fairway. As an avid golfer, understand that a large portion of your green fees are going towards course recovery. This course could be special when the fairways come back (if they can come back). Course management was very honest about the conditions of the course. By the way, the greens were very nice and playable. Bring a couple of cold beers along with some good friends and enjoy the day. This would be a fun course to play a scramble. Let’s support a small business trying to recover from the storm. No 3-putts!

Great layout and fantastic greens

This was my first time playing the course since Hurricane Ian. I hope everyone understands that a lot of work has been put in to get this course back up and running. Drew is great and soon enough it will be back to its full glory. The greens are perfect. Some of the best greens you’ll find in all of south Florida. The clubhouse is coming a long and the restaurant isn’t open yet. The fairways need some work, but very playable. Overall, I love this course. The layout is great and the staff is wonderful.

Obviously the course is still suffering from the hurricane! Greens and tee boxes were in good shape. However the fairways were simply awful at this point and it will be a long time til they are back! They were kind enough to advance warn you to bring your own drinks and food as that part was still not operational. They are doing their best in a tough situation.

Don’t use red golf balls

The guy who said not to use a red golf ball was on point. A black crow picked up my ball on front nine but dropped it. On back nine a crow took my ball. If you are vacationing on Sanibel and want an easier golf course this one will work. If you want more of a challenge try The Dunes. And if so bring plenty of balls.

Beautiful course and greens

We totally enjoyed playing on this beautiful course!

The greens have been redone and they are great!

The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed having a light lunch at the Blue Giraffe restaurant in the club house.

We would recommend golfing at this Sanibel course!

Crow Thief

First drive. Red golf ball in the middle of the fairway. Thinking “Well done”. Crow swoops down and steals my ball. My daughter and playing partner was laughing so hard she could hardly play. Check out the wildlife and don’t use a colored golf ball.

Really enjoyed the course. Great layout and beautiful property. Like playing in a tropical jungle with all of the wildlife, but didn't see any gators. Played from the white tees and shot 72. I would play from the blues the next time just to play a different course.

Nicely improved

The course is shaping up very nicely after begin closed to address invasive species problem with the greens that did a lot of damage. We played there several times over the winter as it’s close and priced fairly and the owner and staff are very welcoming, but the greens were in bad shape. They have been completely refurbished and the course is in very good shape now. Greens are a little slow but still getting fully established I suppose and rolled true with no damage anywhere. Look forward to playing here again soon

Sanibel Island Golf Club

Wow. Sanibel Island Golf Club is beautiful and the staff is super friendly and helpful. This course was closed for two months while they completely redid the greens and the result is a spectacular golf course, surrounded by nature, on a beautiful island. If you played it before and were disappointed, you will not be disappointed when you play it now. In my opinion, it is now one of the best courses in the area and I am an avid golfer who plays 4 days a week. Not only is the course in great shape, but you will get excellent service in the pro shop. Kudos to everyone that brought this course back to being #1 on my list of best golf courses around. We were the first golfers on the tee this morning when they reopened and already have our tee times booked for the weekend.
