not worth the money

while this course is surrounded by a beautiful natural setting the course itself is in extremely poor condition. One green was actually puttable. tee boxes were beat up and fairways had multiple sparce patches. The club itself should be embarrassed to charge the rates they charge (I paid $126.00 for 18 holes with cart). GolfNow should drop this course from their website!

Horrible green conditions

We booked out tee time a week before playing. When we arrived at the course, there was a sign in front of the door stating that the greens had a tough winter and are in bad shape, if we played a couple of holes and wanted our money back they would accommodate. Though I am glad they were offering this option, I was slightly upset it wasn’t something they couldn’t have told us about ahead of time. Being at the course, at that point, we would not have been able to book another tee time somewhere else. I feel discounts should have been offered since we were locked in to our round. It just really felt like they knew we wouldn’t cancel since we were already there and used that to their advantage and still made us pay full price for a course where putting was essentially impossible.

Greens are in terrible shape and not getting better. Several are 60-80 % sand covering the greens so ball roll and roll after chipping are not real conditions. Ruff in several areas are dead.

They really need to get these greens fixed for the price.

Staff is great and layout is fun.

Ok

Limited golf options on Sanibel Island, relatively low prices (see other courses in the area) and friendly staff keep us coming here. The tee boxes and fairways are passable but the greens are in poor shape. Some improvement seems to be underway especially on back nine. Overall course could really benefit from some TLC by a good superintendent. Then again they’d probably charge another $25-$50 per round if that was the case.

Don’t do it!!

Play golf all my life many many places many different countries many different cities many different courses this is probably in the one of the worst two that I’ve ever played. The greens are 75% sand and it was expensive to play here. We did read one review that said it was bad and we didn’t take their word for it I wish we would have it wasn’t worth $30. And this place was packed slow slow play and just a dog track

Play Anywhere Else But Here

This has to be the worst golf course in Florida. Horrible greens and fairways. Besides the conditions, they charge full price.

Aerated greens

The course was repairing the greens covered in sand and dead areas. They also had aerated the rough in many areas.

Beautiful wild life and water on most holes. Hit it straight or bring extra balls.

Greens were mostly sand. They did have a note saying the greens were recovering but for the price was not worth anywhere near the price charged.

Under Repair

A lot of repair work in progress especially on the greens. Hopefully it will pay off soon but didn’t look very good nor like it was improving. Have played here many times before and staff is always friendly and helpful.
