Challenging

Water, water everywhere. If you can't hit it fairly straight or are unsure of what distance you hit your clubs bring plenty of golf balls! Short course, only 5,100 yds from the tips, but makes up for it with the water on EVERY hole! I'm a low 20s HC and like to play it even when losing 2-3 balls...well maybe a few more because "I know I can get it across".

Great day

Had a great day playing with my adult son. We played it years ago when he was a teen. Loved the experience. He played from the tips, me not so much. Paired with some locals helped greatly. We will be back next year.

The Dunes

Nice layout, course and greens in good condition but this is not a $175 golf course. Shell Point is a lot nicer golf course for $125

Starter was cranky, must’ve drank to much in Saint Patty’s Day

Bring your own gear

Nice course with several challenges

Priority to stay straight but bring many balls!

Only really big let down was their rental clubs

3 year old worn out Callaway clubs with previous players dirt still on coupled with an exotic looking putter was a joke Ok if you offer the for free not charging 75 Dollars

Will come again with my own gear

Plenty of water, great scenery and wild life.

This is by far the best course that I’ve played at in the Fort Myers area and would definitely recommend this course to those who like a challenge. The course (especially the greens) is in great shape. I have played this course several times and have yet to experience any back up in play. - the play moves at a good pace.

Beautiful course

Beautiful and well maintained golf course. Unfortunately, water hazards are in abondance and all on the right side which makes it annoying for right handed players.

Bring Balls with you

It is an amazing golf course an experience ;-), but bring enough balls with you. The back nine were killing me, a lot of water.

The wildlife around the course is also amazing

Very Good Course

The Dunes Golf Course is in a community just on Sanibel Island. It is a par 70 and I played it at about 5400 Yards.

I found it quite enjoyable with many challenging holes and a lot of water. To play a round without losing a ball is an accomplishment. The course was very well maintained with large, medium speed greens and a fair amount of slope. The marshals ensured that the pace of play was reasonable.

I would recommend this course to anyone who loves golf.

Good course considering the options on Sanibel/Captiva

Very challenging course for high handicappers. A lot of water. Saw someone in front of us tee off with a range sized bucket of balls and they said they expect to lose all of them and probably did. We lost 15-20 balls each but had a great time. No course cart for beverages or food. Clubhouse at the turn was uniquely pricey but if you are staying on the island there really is no other option. Sanibel Golf Club is fine but the greens are smashed. Dunes was an enjoyable challenge if not a little pricey.
