Nice course in a great place

Sanibel Island GC is a bit rough around the edges but it is an interesting layout albeit rather short. there is lots of water and sand. Sanibel Island itself only has two public courses and this is the best of the two. Conditioning could be better. Very friendly and helpful staff.

improves every year

A terrific staff who has been there for the past 4 years and always friendly and accommodating. The attached restaurant is now open daily and takes orders at the turn with great food. The conditions were bad five years ago, but have improved every year and now are good. The layout is challenging and fun. We now play here several times a season while we are vacationing in Sanibel.

Has a blast….but

This was the first time playing the course. I was a bit concerned when booking the TT as I read the reviews about the awful condition of the greens . The greens were better than advertised as the group adjusted to the speed and conditions. The tee boxes and greens were fine but certain areas in the fairway were under repair. Our group lowered the stakes and had a blast. …and the beer at the turn was ice cold!

Front 9 Greens are Rough

Good layout but the greens, especially on the front 9 are really bad. Lots of patches, very furry and sandy. On the stimp I’d say they are running about a 5, like the fairways. Fairways are in good shape though, and the back nine greens are in much better shape. Back 9 has some patches on the greens where they are trying to bring it back, but better overall. They are probably like a 7 or so on the stimp on the back. Not too bad. They have a captive audience on Sanibel, so I understand the $100 greens fees. It’s a fair price for where it is, just wish the greens were more playable. Looks like the greens are on their way to recovery if the back nine is any indication. But you’d think this time of year, they could get them in better shape.
