Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

Course is somewhat gimmicky a couple unfair tee blocks from the blue and black tees. Greens need a little work some rough spots for the money. And greens were very slow maybe a 4 on the stemp meter. Wonderful staff great carts.

Course is pretty good, it's a bit short form the tips at 5600 yards, the challenge is strategically placing your ball which makes this an enjoyable course.

Only issue we encountered was that as a Hot Deal, and Golf Now didn't clearly identify that the back 9 was closed and we had to play the front 9 twice. (which offers advantages as you get to better your score since you now know where to target your landing areas)

Back 9 was closed but front was in nice condition. We played the 9 twice and was very pleased. Staff was nice but finished the first round before 111am and the restraint was closed. It was worth the 1 hour drive to play.

I paid to play 18 holes of golf, but was told that the back 9 was closed when I was making the turn. The proshop said they could not reimburse me for the back nine because I paid through GolfNow. How do I get credit for the back nine from GolfNow? The front nine was in good condition, but it took an hour just to get on Sanibel island.

Back nine closed, didn’t know it beforehand, didn’t even know it until we made the turn.

This was my first time playing the dunes, and there’s no doubt in my mind that this used to be an amazing golf course, and still can be an amazing golf course…..but as of right now it’s simply not worth the money you pay. The course is very green and appealing to the eye but the fairways are thick and the greens are slow and furry. I understand that they are under repair from the storm but that should reflect in their green fees and it doesn’t. Front 9 only which was specified, and no driving range which wasn’t specified.

With all that being said I loved the island, and the course layout enough to try it again if they get the full course back open and trim those greens. The fella at the pro shop and starter were both amazing guys and the clubhouse/ dining area looked great in my opinion. If you play both tennis and golf The Dunes is worth checking out.

Only the first nine are playable.

All practice facilities are closed.

The price is not justified.

Couldn’t find the staff, cart fee not included. Wasn’t that nice of a course for the price

Have played here several times and it’s always a pleasure playing the course. It’s not that long even from the back tees but it’s not about the length but the layout and strategy required to navigate the OOB and the amount of water hazards on the golf course. Always in great condition with lush green fairways and well prepared tees. The greens are generally small so you need to be accurate with your approach. Did find the greens hard to read and two paced but maybe that was due to the wet conditions being September in Florida. Will hopefully give the course another go when we return in May 2023.

Course is really fun to play. Short yardage but you need to be accurate on most of the holes. I’m from Washington state so it’s fun to play these nicer courses in Florida

Really unique course. There is more water than land on the property, and the water into play on almost every hole. With good tee shots and approaches the course is very attackable. It’s short enough that you can leave your driver at home. However, water comes into play on every miss.

Great course staff and grounds crew great. Lots of water bring extra balls !!

First timer to Sanibel. This is a beautiful course. Lots of water, gee, there's a surprise. Play was fast. Very friendly and courteous staff.
