Better choices available

Greens were inconsistent, some had been top dressed, others not. Fairways very thin for Florida course.

The greens are in very bad condition. It looks like some of them should be shut down to save them.

This course isn’t in best shape

After they finish path paving, over-seeding and othe work, it should be nicer. On site restaurant is excellent.

Green were the WORST

Every green was covered in sand and ripped apart, can’t believe they don’t give a notice before you book, I love golf and have played 100 plus rounds and never seen something like this.

Poor winter greens management

I don’t believe Fog causes turf decay as counter staff stated. However, not catching the fungus that can set in with adverse conditions can. But what do I know, other than the greens were in very rough shape and the worst part of the round. They were fast and smooth except for large patches of yuck and sand.

I like the course layout and the challenges presented.

The course is way to expensive for what is provided.

Don’t play here!

Total DOG TRACK! I can’t believe they get over $125 for this place. Greens couldn’t be in worse condition if they tried. Find another place or just throw your money in the trash. Only good thing was the lady in the Pro Shop. She was nice but unfortunately it didn’t offset the horrific experience they call a golf course. Yes the pictures are of their greens! #GolfPurgatory

Premium price for damaged greens. The course should be upfront about the damaged greens and lower the price until they have been fixed.

Not so well at Sanibel

The price for 18 holes for a course of this condition is hard to imagine. Greens we awful. Standing water, I understand there was a storm on Sunday. No excuse for the greens. The starter and the person in the pro shop were very friendly and helpful

Overpriced

$200 got my wife and I no practice range, absolutely horrible greens (maybe it's normal this time of the year in FL), no water on the course, only one bathroom on the back nine and no beverage cart. This is semi-private so I'm sure the members get a better rate, but it was pretty bad. Booked through GolfNow, but didn't get a note about the lack of course amenities until after we paid online. Poor GolfNow process. People should get all course info before paying.

Not a top choice

Based upon Golf now’s reviews, the write up, the high price of the green fees even hot deals , the location we were expecting A+ course and conditions. Instead it was very sub par…. Greens were in very poor condition having poor or no grass, lots of green “painted” areas, very small geeens , tee boxes with very poor grass. The fairways had good grass and the layout of the course was pedestrian at best. I would not recommend the course and won’t be back. There are so many other choices in the area.
