Nice Course with small greens

Very nice course, especially with the chance of rain -- it was almost empty. Finished in 3 hrs, 20 minutes. The greens are kind of small and have lots of interesting contours; they also putt quite true. The sand was nice and fluffy and served me up a "fried egg:" on one hole. I recommend playing from the Blue tees as the course is only about 6000 yards; except I recommend you do not play hole # 8 from the blues unless you can reliably carry 185 yards or so.

This course costs too much for its quality.

Course maintenance is lacking. Greens are slow. No practice range. Putting practice area is a joke. No ball washers on course.

Nice layout and convenient location if staying on Sanibel but expensive for just fair course condition. Greens are ok but fairways and tees need work.

Not worth the money

They really need to pick up their game at this course. The greens and fairways need lots of work. With so many courses to choose from in this area I would suggest you play elsewhere.

Fantastic nature

It is the second course we played on Sanibel Island. The dunes was in a better condition. Specially the tee boxes on this course were in a bad shap: the ground often not even, a lot of divots and poor gras.
However, the nature is great and we could observe a lot of animals.

The course certainly has some challenging holes

For the longer hitters the course is more of a target golf course. There certainly are some fun and very challenging holes. There were some tee boxes that needed some work, but my biggest issue was the speed of the greens. They were some of the slowest I have played. If they work on those two areas I think more people would enjoy the course. The staff and facilities were top notch!

Terrible condition of course

The greens were like fairways...slow & not green quality.,, the fairways were like a 1st cut of rough, not fairway quality...the bunkers were not maintained very well & the grass needed cutting. This is by far the worst course I ever played..

Challenging course

With the mature trees on the course it can be very challenging. They do not have a driving range, but do have a putting green. Greens were extremely slow. Course needs some work but really enjoyed playing there. Will do it again.
