Lely Resort - GreenLinks Villas

The bad: no coffee or breakfast food available before the round . Also no ranger on the course to keep pace of play. There was a foursome in front of us that would not let us play through and there were 3 empty holes ahead of them

The good: greens were good and rolled out nicely. Everything was marked and was very fair. A little pricey for mid summer Florida golf but as my buddy says “supply and demand” and they were busy !!

Drove down from Sarasota for a change of scenery and since it was a ~$60 hot deal, which is the cheapest I've seen. Wish I had stayed home to be honest, seeing as it was a 2 hour drive.

Played the tips, which didn't play nearly as long or anywhere near as challenging as the yardage and ratings suggested. That's fine. But what wasn't was the shaggy and horrifically slow condition of the greens, even for a dry Florida summer. There are $20 dog tracks with better speed here.

Of course, 95% of the people who play this course are high handicappers, so they won't even notice and might actually prefer it slower. Good players play better on faster greens, while hacks score better on shag rugs.

Apparently the Flamingo course is the better track, and I would hope so since there is nothing special about the Mustang. But I won't be back to try the former. Not with the ho hum value considering their summer green conditions, and certainly not during the Necrotic Naples winter pricing. I cant imagine how awful the pace of play would be here when it's packed.

Go play Old Corkscrew instead, or even the Eastwood/Fort Myers CC munis. The Mustang course is overpriced and overrated, unless you're a well-off hack.

Booked tee time by myself and was joined by a friendly couple. First time playing all three but no groups behind us so we had some time to figure out the holes. Played the Flamingo 18 due to more positive reviews. Great practice areas, free range balls and good gps buggy. Very well maintained with beautiful lakes full of nice birds. Holes exciting and enough variation. Condition of the course good, greens fast en tricky. Enjoyed it playing here.

Very good course, nice variety of holes. Lots of water and bunkers. Greens good and fast. Friendly staf.

Played Flamingo last week and course was in much better condition. many of the tee boxes are burnt or cut too high . Greens are in good condition and fairways are mostly ok .

Good course. Nice round. Always tough putting on Bermuda coming from the North. Played Flamingo from the tips. Really good mix of 3’s, 4’s and 5’s.

Nice range. Jack the starter couldn’t be nicer. Connor at the time end of the round was a nice young man.

Would do it again!!

This was my third time playing Flamingo. Despite a relative small sample size, I continue to be impressed with the course conditions, pace of play and management's attention to detail. I had a great day and can't wait to get out there again.

Very fast pace of play. Course and staff all great!

Large friendly layout that keeps the ball in play on most holes. Greens and fairways in great shape. Greens have speed with little contour which made for making lots of longish putts. Lots of tee box options for choice of distance. Two consecutive visits it felt like the staff at the club drop area could be more upbeat.

I really liked the course, great driving range, really good facilities throughout the club, Definitely in pretty good shape as well. But I think for 230 bucks that’s a little bit steep. Obviously being in Naples everything is going to be a little bit more inflated. I would definitely come back, but not for 230
