Worth a Try

Sanibel GC, like the rest of the island got hammered over the past few years with hurricaines and storms, but "out of the ashes", the course has risen and is fun to play. OK, because the owner (Drew, who is often the guy who'll grab you clubs and put them on a cart) focused on the greens and tees, some fairways have large patches of dirt and short weeds. But it's a challenging full 18 holes with more than a few surprises. Of the two public courses, SGC is cheaper ($100 vs $250) and more friendly. I'd give it a try! George

On the road to recovery

This course was hit hard by hurricane Ian two years ago. It is still recovering and won’t be at 100% for a while. The positives are that the greens are terrific, the nature is everywhere, the staff is wonderful and the location is beautiful.

Great Friendly Staff

This beautiful little course took a beating from recent hurricanes. Drew and his staff do all they can to make the experience pleasant and are extremely honest about the problems with the fairways ever since hurricane/ salt water damage. The greens are beautiful and the layout challenges you to strategize every shot. Be patient and understanding… I am certain they will do everything to hasten it’s recovery!

It could be great, but hurricanes suck

This course was decimated by the hurricane and has not fully recovered. It's a nice layout with friendly staff. Many of the fairways are barren of grass. A few of the greens are bumpy and in rough shape. Currently no water, ice or cold drinks. Once they recover this course is beautiful with its surroundings.

Good round of golf. The course is still struggling to rebound from hurricane couple of years ago (mainly some areas in fairways), but still very playable & challenging. If you're expecting pristine conditions, you'll have to go much further inland to a course that wasn't' flooded with saltwater. I'd love to play it again sometime when it gets back to pristine conditions. Lots of water to get into trouble, over swinging will cost you on this course. Play smart and you'll have great time.
