Nice but worn

Nice layout and great scenery. The tee boxes are in terrible shape and it's almost a challenge to Use. The course was ok overall but could use some much needed maintenance.

layout was nice

Overall conditions were not that nice. Tee boxes real small with terrible grass conditions. Bunkers were not raked for the 2 days we played there. Fairways not bad

greens fair but grainy. For the $45.00 it was a good buy. Three days later we were charged $75.00 not a good buy. The restaurant for evening meals is real good.

Challenging and pittoresk

We played as 2 flights and the course was not busy so it made it a round with great pace.

I was delighted to see how much work they had put into this vegetation and they must have worked extremely hard to get these great improvements with cutting these huge trees out etc. Greens were slow and a little bumpy but all toegether we enjoyed the course A LOT.

Staff on the gc was extremely nice as well as at the restaurant Blue Coyote where we got nice food after the round.

We all recommend this course and our first time players with us were glad to came out also.

Make sure to take your camera along!!!

Could be a good course

It could but it isn't now. The conditions on the course are below average, which is a real problem on an island that draws a lot of higher income vacationers looking for a nice course. It has a lot of potential - the holes are interesting, challenging without being overbearing and the views are good. The price though is comparable with the other course on the island and that's a huge problem because the other course is top shelf. Price should reflect quality but in this case it's completely disconnected. Worse, they only offer a couple of discounted rounds each day despite the course being lightly played.

Sanibel Golf

Staff was extremely helpful.

This course unfortunately doesn't measure up to the other Public course on the Island. If you are only going to play one round, I would recommend the other course first.

We rented clubs, they were at least 4 years old, definitely not what you would expect from a course charging $40 for rentals.

The greens were very small and not well maintained. Shaggy is a good description of them.

Island golf

Scenic island course not in the best of shape. They should rake sand traps. One close to clubhouse was but not the rest. Tight front nine with lots of opportunities to lose balls. Back is wider. Maybe should reverse these two to give more time for warmup. Price we paid made it worth it. Young man who handled cubs and cart was a very nice. He was a great addition to this course.

Rick

The best condition I've ever seen this course in! They are doing a nice job of opening it up with removal of trees and old growth for a more playable and picturesque experience. Greens still a bit bumpy and sand traps were unrated but overall I'm delighted with the improvements!

Great Time

Before playing I read the reviews of this course. Based on that I almost played some place else. These bad reviews are way off base. This course plays well, has a great layout and is in much better condition than I was led to believe. The greens rolled nice, fairways in great condition and it is a fun layout. Yes there are a couple of browned out spots on the greens and no ball washers on the course but overall I look forward to going back there again. Another nice amenity is a book they give you with excellent descriptions of each hole. This is a real advantage when it is your first time playing

Dissapointed

This course has an Amazing layout however it is poorly maintained. It seems a course from a third world country. Staff is trying hard to fight off bad grass... The Bunkers are in poor shape....greens so so...

Urgent and serious investment needed...

Disappointing experience overall for a course with lots of potential. Only low point of my vacation in the area of Sanibel..

Hot Day With Family

We received an outstanding rate from Golf Now to play the course. There was a lot of work being done to the course, but many of the greens were spotty. We played very quickly even with two kids. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative of issues on the course, such as no water. We were prepared and really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere.

Worst course I have ever played

Extremely poor condition. Landscape is nothing but weeds. Fairways had more weeds than grass. Greens the same. Bone jarring cart paths. Bridges falling apart. This entire course is a joke. Save your money. They should pay you to play. This is the worst conditioned golf course I have ever played. It should not even be listed on Golfnow.

Very Costly and Lack Bathrooms

It was the most expensive of the 5 games we played where in Florida. It was also the worst golfcourse for ammenities such and only one set of bathrooms over 18 holes, no water, and no beer cart evenafter 11am.

The course just lack some love for the golfer and money for the game you paid for.

Very Poor value

Course is in very poor condition, greens were very slow and had large bald spots. Tees were weeds and grab grass and fairways were full of grab grass, money plants and other weeds.

Would never return.
