Best course on Sanibel Island

Just like last year the stall was friendly and the course was in excellent condition. Bring plenty of balls or grab some extras at the clubhouse. Use your "smart clubs" rather than your "tin cup" set and you'll leave with some balls still in your bag. Play hero here and you'll be feeding the gators! Enjoy a great round on a great course.

Very pretty course, lots of water and lots birds!

This very pretty course was fully booked when we played, but we started right on time and finished in just over four hours. There's water everywhere, some tight lies and lots of beautiful birds on almost every hole. The back nine is a bit more spacious, with fewer houses and an even more "natural" feeling. The clubhouse restaurant has limited evening hours, so check before teeing off if you're thinking of grabbing a quick drink or bite to eat after your round. This is a pricey round of golf, even with the Golf Now discount; but all three of us were glad to have played it.

Course is overpriced

Course is very, very short. Water aplenty, but not punitive. Greens have lots of slope. If you're not under the hole, likely three putt. The condition of the course and its shortness make it very overpriced..

Play this course while vacationing on Sanibel Island!

The Dunes golf course is a must for golfers visiting Sanibel Island. Bring plenty of balls as water comes into play on a majority of the holes.

Not a bad Experience

Course is very playable but feels extremely cramped, architect should've given himself more land to work with. The middle holes on the back 9 are nice, lots of wildlife, very alive.

nice course on sanibel island with a lot of water and great nature

Challaging course for men, for ladies a bit too easy especially for long hitters. Card with on board GPS in the cart for easy review of distances and course lay up. Lot of nature around. Greens have been fast and moderate.

Loved the course, play from the tips for a great challenge.

Loved the course, play from the tips if you want a great challenge since it's not a real long course. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We were on vacation in the Tampa area and made the drive to play. It was our favorite non-private course in the area. Beautiful scenery, cart, GPS, service all top rate!

A tight front nine, loads of water a great test of golf

A great challenge of golf on a very windy day, at times gusting over 25mph. The course was on the whole in excellent condition, however some of the greens were starting to show their under belly, plenty of spike marks by uncaring players up front . But overall my two playing partners and I enjoyed the round , the kindness, attentive staff and will certainly return again.

Great experience, a lot of water!

It's more a lake than a golf course :-) ! But overall it is very women friendly - for male players it is very challenging and can be ball consuming! We saw 2 alligators! Although the yardage seems to be short, it is not a course that is easy to play.
Other than that, being used to European courses, I wouldn't really need an E-cart for the first nine, because at the end of a green starts the next T-box. Unfortunately, the clubhouse closed at 2 pm (summer schedule).

Th

The course was in good shape considering the time of year and the amount of rain it has received. A little muddy at first but dried out as the round progressed. Some holes difficult to see any direction of the fairway from the black tees. All in all, one of the best we played in the Naples/Ft Myers area.

Tight water lined course

Being from a rather arid region, this course provided a challenge due to all the water hazards. Of course, the hazards wouldn't be such a problem if I could hit it straight. If you can't, you need to bring a lot of balls as you will lose them. Fun track and the back nine is very pretty where it runs along the lagoon. Course was well maintained and the staff was friendly. Club house looked nice too!

Lady friendly course

My husband and I played this course. The tees were challenging for him and allowed it to be a little friendly to the ladies. We enjoyed the course.

Nice course

The course overall was really nice. We saw a alligator on the 10th fairway lake. First time we experienced the aqua-range, pretty cool shooting range balls in the water. The course was in great shape other than being wet. If your on your game, should be no problem to shoot a great score.

Pretty course

The course is tricky but not long. Tee off with a hybrid or iron on many par 4's. The only negative was the practice range. The floating balls are not realistic and 8 dollars for a small bucket is too much. Ice in the cart cooler is nice and we only paid 19 dollars to play 18. We lost about a dozen balls for two players. Bring lots of balls. Lots of drinking water on the course. A few holes on the back are gassey. Overall nice!

Great Island Golf

Nice Club. Recently punched greens still good. Course in great condition. Short but plenty of challenge especially on an August afternoon. Will return.

Nice layout with nice views.

The course was short with big greens. Water did come into play on all the holes but there was room to miss. The greens just have been aerated so I not sure how they roll.
