Didn't know there was a golf course in there!

Hidden away in the middle of Sanibel Island is the Sanibel Island Golf Club. I did not know there was even a course in there. I had played the other course (The Dunes) but had not heard about Sanibel until I saw it listed on the GolfNow site. They are undergoing some repairs to the tee boxes and they do not have all of the amenities that other courses offer (driving range). However, the course is challenging, fairways are tight and the greens have some undulation to them. There are many trees and plants surrounding the holes and you have to be very accurate or layup on many of the holes. My friend and I enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone. It's not as easy as it may look!

Poor Conditions

Conveniently located course on Sanibel Island but the condition of the course is unacceptable. Tee boxes are void of grass, very small and uneven. Greens are terribly slow. Overall quality and condition of the course is poor - given the price of the round it is certainly a poor buy.

Disappointed

We travelled to FT Myers to play quality courses. Sorry to say that dispite the positive reviews, Sanibel was extremely disappointing. The course layout was nice and challenging but that is the only thing positive I can add. No beverage cart. No Washrooms on the front nine. Tee blocks were a mess, Grass not cut on fairways and greens that should be fairways. Travel too the course is difficult.
My biggest complaint is that we payed $80.00 based on reviews from people who felt it was a quality track. Not the case, save your money.
Golfnow needs to monitor reviews and charge relative to quality. I hope they enjoy our money, we will think twice about booking again with Golfnow.

Convenience over quality

If you're staying on Sanibel or Captiva, there aren't many choices for golf without battling the traffic back on the mainland. That's really the only reason to play this course. I'd describe this course as scruffy - the greens are slow, the fairways are very mixed, the tee boxes are beat up. But it's under new ownership and they seem committed to improving conditions.

Great Layout

This course is short, but makes up for it in some tight fairways and greens. It wasn't in pristine condition, but was in decent shape. Staff was friendly, but the restaurant service was lacking. Would recommend you try this course if you are in the area.

nice Course

The was was in good condition. Greens were well maintained. Pretty straight forward. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to accommodate a late arrival. If you are not on the island leave early to get to the course . The traffic is insane. Finally, it was a good value for the price.

Sanibel island

Greens were great but a little slow from overseeding
Tee boxes could use some work grass was sparse and boxes did not seem to offer many if any flat spots to hit from

Pace was great under 4 hours for 18

Need to find a way to put water on the course for drinking and facilities somewhere on the front!

If you have the urge to play golf this place is perfectly adequate.

Don't want to leave Sanibel Island. Don't want to fight the traffic. Don't want to pay exobitent prices. Then Sanibel golf course could be the place for you.
We enjoyed the course even though it is short... it's actually fun. The staff are courteous and professional. Their restaurant has a reputation for good food. We played here 3 times during our week in Sanibel, a testimony to it's enduring appeal.
We shall return.

Golf Sanibel

L'ensemble du golf est un parcours interessant avec beaucoup d'eau donc de beaux défis mais la condition des allées est misérable, les vert sont lents pourtant ils pourraient très bien etre intéressant car plusieurs sont vallonné donc il faut bien ciblé le drapeau. ce parcours est mal entretenu, meme les lave-balles sont malpropre. Meme si nous n'avons pas pas payé le gros prix nous avons été déçu de ce parcours et nous n'y retournerons pas.

Turn Around In Process

It was good to see the conditions of this course improving and the overall experience- a definite change in what we experienced last year. Staff and new owners are very accommodating. The club house has had some nice improvements, especially the bar-lounge. A course Marshall should be on the course at all times and speed up play as it was a slower round than we anticipated. A beverage cart would be a nice addition. All in all, the new owners are on the right track and I would recommend this course and will definitely be back.
