Sanibel Island Golf Club

driving over the bridge can take 40 minutes plus. allow plenty of time.

this course has improved a lot over the past few years,...greens are in excellent shape....great tee boxes..every hole is challenging and a lot of work has been done to upgrade the landscaping...each year gets better. The owners and staff are very courteous, relaxed and homey atmosphere.....I would definitely keep playing here!

The new owners are slowing making progress. They did a nice job around the tee boxes with the new design of using natural sand and nice plantings. Tee boxes themselves still need work, but since your teeing it up anyway not a show stopper. Fairways are fair but if you roll the ball for a good lie makes them better. Greens have improved within the last year.

On a scale of 1 to 10 for the money they charge

Tee boxes 4

Fairways 4

Greens 6

On the bright side, the layout and piece of property are an 8.

I understand the high price due to it being on the island but I'd like to see more reduced "Specials" especially after 1PM or very early morning

No Driving Range

Poor for Price

Course is well designed and fair. Not too many bad suprises

The course has two different nines. Front nine much more interesting. Fairways a little thin, probably due to salt air. Greens were okay, faster than they looked. Staff very friendly. A tourist course, consequently play was a little slow. But that was alright as it's very scenic. A lot of water, but not that much comes into play. I don't know if I would play this course again. A little pricey for the course conditions.

After reading a few of the reviews I was skeptical about this course, but I think some people hold courses to an impossible standard. This course is a good one, and I don't agree with alot of above reviews. Upon arrival at the course, we were greeted by the starter and ushered into the club house. I told them this was our first time here, and they proceeded to give us all the advice that was helpful for this course, including their detailed book of course. HERE is the great part, I told him our tee time wasn't for another 40 minutes, they told us to go ahead out. The course was in pretty good shape, and we had good pace of play until we ran up to a foursome that was obviously playing for a million dollars! The starter actually came out to tell them to move along, but only helped one hole. We had at least 3 couples and a foursome stacked behind us. I've played on better course, and worse for sure. We found greens were rolling good, a few sparsely scattered dead spots, but none that affected our play. Course was a little wet in places, but again, did not really affect our play. Very nice course layout, I enjoyed the challenge of reaching the green on 10 from the tee, which I did, and also on 11. Would definitely play again, and would recommend to all.

The staff and service this course provides is absolutely excellent. They cater to your every need. As I talked to the owners, they began to tell me the renovations they have done over the past 3-4 years such as re-doing the almost all tee boxes and creating natural waste areas so the course fits into the island feel. I would absolutely play this course again

I hadn't played this course in 7 years. Used to be Beachview but purchased by a couple of local club pros. Long and short of it they try hard and the course is better than before. Complaints of tee boxes etc. don't recognize the attempt to minimize maintenance. Yes the greens are spotty but with over seeding are MUCH better than 7 years ago. Weather was wet and fairways wetter but you are on an island with more rain this month than the past ten years!

$100 is excessive but there are specials and I was glad I played. Totally different product from The Dunes but fun to play.

And everyone is nice.

Greens were awful........no grass........really?
Grass around t boxes almost nonexistent.
Not a bad layout but need a lot of TLC and routine maintenance.
Overall, not worth even half of the price in its present condition.

Narrow front 9 with tricky water.
we have had a lot of rain but there was so much "casual water" it was sometimes difficult to distinguish from hazards.no one was playing but we were interrupted on first tee by a group playing a club matchand had to follow this slow 4some for nine holes.greens were very bare and tee boxes in poor shape.
A short course but it was not on my gps which picked up all courses in 10 mile radius but not this one.
back nine is a little more open but the wind is even greater.
all in all a mediocre experience.
no water (for drinking)on course and only one washroom on the15th hole.

First, it is important to say this course is under new management, and have been working to improve the playing conditions. That said, the course has a long way to go to reach a level of quality to match the $100 price tag. Good layout. Short course. Front nine was very wet....fairways not draining. About 30% of the tee boxes and fairways are weeds. Greens are inconsistent....some slow, some really slow, and then others moderately fast. Lots of bare spots in the greens. Back nine is easier, and in better shape. Will not play here again.

The sourandings are greate and a very challenging golf course.

Played here twice in December. Nice layout and staff is nice but course condition is very poor. Staff mentioned all the landscaping work performed in recent months but the course needs a lot more TLC. Tee boxes and greens are as much sand as grass. Course maintenance is also lacking which makes the conditions very poor. Course pricing strategy is out of whack with the course condition.

I started by reading prior reviews of this course only to be in shock when I got there. Earlier reviews were just trying to be nice or way too generous but I have to just be blatantly honest here. It sounded like this is under new ownership but they are definitely not there yet.
I played as a single and was put out on the back nine to start. There was a weird odor throughout the course as I played. It seems that they are trying to reseed the tee boxes but still pretty rough. Lots of crabgrass (weeds), need some Kentucky bluegrass or something close to real grass. Absolutely NO water to drink on the course so be prepared. I paid just as much $$$ as The Dunes right around the corner but in phenomenal shape. The only saving grace was the threesome I got paired up with. Not yet there Sanibel Golf Club!

Ball washers on holes would be nice. Fairways a little thin. Good greens. Challenging/tight. Not long. Fun!

We played this course years ago when it was called Beachview. Had hoped to see improvements under new management, but not the case at all. Course in poor condition. Greens particularly slow (ok they had overseeded, but so have other courses we've played this week and those greens were much better) Not worth the visit, and certainly not worth the greenfee, which goes up to $99 in January.

Course was a little rough around the edges. Some holes extremely difficult off the tees. Would recommend because if you play the tough holes well, you can score anywhere. Lot a water

Very scenic golf course every hole is different.
Great wildlife and fabulous houses to look at on way around.
Good pace of play and excellent value for money.
Still a work in progress on most holes but definitely working hard at getting there.
Very friendly staff.
Definitely worth a visit.

More paths required to show where to walk to avoid new wild flowers and grasses that have been planted.
