Course construction

Layout at this course was good however they were working on irrigation and there was tracts of dug up dirt across the course which impacted enjoyment of the round. Lots of wildlife along the course. Saw at least 7 alligators on this day...

How about some signs!?

Played with friends. The course still has a ways to come back after the storms. Greens were nice, but large portions of the fairways are still bare. This was compounded by holes where they are installing the new irrigation system.

While I understand that bringing the course back takes a lot of work and time, I don't understand the complete lack of signs in the course. Not a single tee box is marked, and there are many holes where you have no idea which way to go to the next tee. Pretty annoying.

Fixing this should be easy.

Play this course every year.

My adult daughter and I have played this course for years. We vacation on the island every year and sometimes more than once a year. We have played here before the storm damage and after the damage hoping to contribute to the island economy. Drew always greets us by name and is glad to see us. Greens were great and rolled like carpeting. Wildlife was abundant. Pace of play was best ever. I’m looking forward to playing again next week and purchasing a souvenir from the pro shop. Please excuse some of the storm damage still evident and remember what this place and people have endured.

Help by playing!

The greens are fantastic (Pas Pallum). The fairways are quite spotty still, after three hurricanes. Stay on the Island and help keep this course going!

Challenging and Fun!

This course was lovely to play! Teaming with wildlife, and stunning greens. Although there are a few fairway areas in need of repair, the majority of the course was fantastic!

Care must be given when driving as the course is lined with beautiful homes. We had a great round, and will definitely come back to play again!

Best Greens in SWF

A handful of the fairways are still struggling because of damage from Ian, but it's not a problem to treat those areas as ground under repair and drop on the nearest grass. The greens are arguably the best in the area.

I play this course anytime I am visiting the Ft Myers area and love it every time.

Great course to play and understand the staff are doing their best to recover from the multiple storm direct hits to them. Really enjoyed playing here and plan to come back.

A great experience!

Really nice staff trying to recover a course which has been a little damaged from storms that hit the area. The best greens I have ever played on and most of the time you can play around the sand damage in the fairway. If you can play off season you can have the whole course to yourself which is an experience I can't recommend enough. Totally worth the fees.

Sanibel Island Golf Club offers a scenic and relaxed golfing experience surrounded by Florida’s natural beauty. With 18 well-maintained holes (Par 70), plenty of water hazards, and frequent wildlife sightings like herons and alligators, the course feels both peaceful and engaging.

Special thanks to Drew, who does an excellent job managing the course—we were even proactively informed about course conditions the evening before our round. Friendly service and a laid-back atmosphere make this a great spot for golfers of all levels visiting Sanibel Island.

We’ll definitely be back
