Great course with green and repair issues

The course layout is challenging. The wind on Sanibel is always challenging. Repair around almost all the greens is disappointed. 18th green was setup as a temporary green. Overall a great time

Very impressed.

First time playing this course and it was absolutely beautiful. Greens are still being worked on due to the multiple hurricanes but they are doing their best. Fairways were immaculate. I played at 9:30am Tuesday morning and there was nobody behind me pushing me or in front of me holding me up. Keep your driver in your bag on most holes. Accuracy is the key to this course. I’ll be back for sure.

Terrible greens

I would be embarrassed to charge someone $150 to play on absolutely terrible greens. Green 18 had been moved to the fairway because it was so bad. Do not play this course unless you know the greens have been repaired.

Wait till next year

They are charging premium prices for a course with only the back 9 open. And… it’s in bad shape. #18 is even on a temporary green. All greens have sanded bad places. Fairways have bad spots. Sand traps are full of shells and rocks. The rough is a weed patch. This course needs a lot of work and is still trying to recover from Hurricane Ian. We paid $6 toll to get to the course for our tee time, only to be told because they only have 1 side open, there were too many people on it and we had to wait another 45 minutes for some of the players to clear out.

Be sure to call the Pro Shop before booking here and find out if all the holes are open and what shape they’re in.

Terrible greens

Very disappointing for $150. The water hazards are very nice but the greens are terrible. Hole 18 green was moved to the fairway.

Enjoyed tremendously

The staff was incredibly friendly. My father rented clubs and the cost was extremely high, we played another course with 1/4 of the cost for rentals. The course is challenging but fair. Very scenic

Played on windy day

Course is a great layout. Most fairways were in excellent condition. Some still damaged from storms. Majority of greens are good and there were a lot bad spots, again due to storms. Bring a lot of balls on windy days. Water comes into play on every hole.

Don’t let the yardage fool you.

Fairways were in great shape, can’t say the same about the greens.

Course although short, it is very challenging. Greens were small and well protected with bunkers.

Would definitely play again.

Water water everywhere

Shortish course, but I think every hole had water, with some holes having two forced carries. Had a great time though.

Course conditions does not support price

Very friendly and personable staff. First time visiting. Course looked amazing from the clubhouse by the first and tenth tee boxes.

Pace was not 3:45, but more like 4:10 which was ok due to water on all 18 holes which slows play. The problem was the conditions of the fairways and the greens especially. Large bare spots and ground under repair. The greens were really bad.

For the price, expected it to be in much better shape.

Short but challenging

Course is generally in good condition following recent hurricane damage. Some greens remain blighted and sandy but we enjoyed ourselves. Excellent pace of play and friendly staff. Fun and challenging layout requiring precision
