Lely Resort - GreenLinks Villas

The fairways were just treated with chemicals and were burnt . There was little to no grass. Before paying green fees , golfers should be told that the course was being worked on. The conditions were not worth the price of the green fees.

The course is about to undergo complete re-grassing. All of the grass was sprayed with grass killer and is brown. It would have been nice to know before paying $120.00 that the entire course was dead!

Fun, not so challenging course, great for a couple of guys from the northeast on their first round of the season. Friendly staff. Only issue was the quality and composition of the one set of rental clubs issued.

Love the layout and overall challenge this course offers. Long course with LOTS of water and other challenges. Fairways & tee-boxes in overall good shape, greens hit or miss and sand-traps were a wreck. the rock:sand ratio was crazy as well as the overall grooming and condition of them. we ended up making the decision to just not play out of the sand because of the amount of rocks in the traps and the potential damage it could do to our clubs. Great pace of play and substantial amount of water stations on the course. No cart-girl on a weekend was strange and it took about 20 min to go into the club to grab beers at the turn.. pros and cons are about equal for this course, and we rarely play it because of this. Not a bad experience, but definitely better options in the area for the price.

The greens were fabulous but the rest of the fairways are under renovation and will be unplayable very soon

I really enjoyed this track. Course was in great condition despite it being the end of the high season. Early Sunday morning tee time meant I had a very pleasant 3-and-a-half hour round. Greens were very hard and fast but true. Overall a great experience.

The person in the pro shop was not friendly at all and almost rude.

Everyone else was great :)

We have played Lely several times and had excellent rounds. Today however, we showed up to the tee box several minutes early only to find a group of older gentlemen who claimed they were next to go off which was completely incorrect. Starters did nothing to tell them to wait for us to go off and to stick with their assigned tee time. Absolutely spineless move by a starter. The men claimed they were members and thus felt a false sense of entitlement, and were very unpleasant during our interaction when they were in the wrong…do not join a public-private course if you don’t want to deal with the public component. The assistant pro refunded us but we Will not return here after that interaction and have lost all respect for the staff here.

We were met by very friendly & helpful staff, beginning

With a gentleman who set us up on our cart.

Then, the Starter, who was very friendly and great

Info on the course.

We had a great afternoon.

It was a fun course to play, The condition was overall good. The only problem was there was a foursome ahead of us and both carts were sharing a bag and the pace of play was extremely slow. I am surprised they didn't make each player have their own set of clubs.

I had read the reviews and wondered how bad the bunkers could be. The answer is really bad! They were not raked or taken care of at all. Really disappointed especially with a high price tag. It’s a shame because the staff was great, lay out was challenging and the members I played with were fun. How are they not raked out daily? I mean seriously!

Course is a good deal with hot deals

Much better shape than previous years
