Tight course with fast greens

Well kept course with a tight and challenging layout. Don’t be fooled by short yardage. This course tests all golfing skills, especially proper course management. Fun to play and one that could be played over and over again without getting bored.

Playing the Dunes

We love the Dunes. The water, the wind, the challenge and the staff. However, just played and the course is in bad condition, the greens are close to sand traps. For the $$ they want we won’t be going back this year unless there is major improvement. Very disappointed

Short and tight with lots of water. Some greens were sanded and other aerated. 5400 from the tips I put a worthy challenge.

2020 Mid December Play

Great course for position playing. Not all about the long drives and the mid iron onto the green. Lots of water hazards everywhere. Fairways were in great shape. Sand hazards in great shape. Greens were in fair condition. Some aerated with sand. Was not made aware of

that before play.

Green fees at $105 were a bit excessive but

you are paying for location. $70-$80 green

fees would have better reflected the current course.conditions. At $105 green fees, I don’t expect to find aerated and sanded greens.

Still. A challenging course that requires accurate down the middle drives, planned layups and small margins for error around several of the greens due to water hazards. Wildlife abounds.

Water birds of Sanibel keeping clear of resident crocodiles.

Internal Medicine

Lots of water if you have a bad slice, but not so bad if you can hit it reasonably straight. Fairways are wide and par 3's are short. Course is in excellent shape.

H2Ohhhhhh boy!

Water water everywhere! Bring balls. Challenging but fair - not gimmicky. Course was in good condition. Pace of play was great and the staff was helpful and friendly: This layout is truly cool. Look forward to playing it again since I’m thru it once now. Go and play it.

Bring extra balls

Friendly staff. Pace of play was great. Course in great shape with challenging, quick greens. Lots of hazards that will penalize wayward shots.

Annual Outing at the Dunes

Each year I measure my accuracy by playing the Dunes when I go to Sanibel. This beautiful course has water on each hole and some narrow fairways...to play a round without losing a ball is a true accomplishment. The course was in great condition...the greens were true...the people were friendly and the round was completed in 3 1/2 hours!

My Favorite Away From Home Course

Each year I vacation on Sanibel Island and play the Dunes at least once but usually more. I’m never disappointed by the course condition, the beauty or the friendliness I find there! With water on almost every hole, it’s a challenging course so don’t be fooled by the yardage.

SMALL GOLF COURSE ADAPTED TO THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD

I have made a mistake in booking this executive golf course. The golf course conditions and service are fair. BYW I didn't see any very girl during my round(i was thirsty for a beer).. The only staff member interested in my experience was the girl at the bar.
