Very interesting shorter course.

Very interesting shorter course with lot’s of water in play and some forced carries over water . Greens are smooth and moderatly fast .

Bring a few extra golf balls . Wildlife from time to time .Have seen some “ healthy Gators “ a few months back .

Short and Penal

I never feel good about warming up at a course by hitting range balls into a lake. Something Pavlovian stirs in me that the repeated 'plunk' of the balls going into water makes me irritated even though its just practice. That sums up my only complaint about this golfing experience. I was put with a Saturday group of buddies that were very friendly and helpful for this newbie and pointed out proper lines off the tee for me. At 5800 yards from the tips, its not a long course and I hit driver just a handful of times, but I still used all 14 clubs during the round and thoroughly enjoyed the morning scenery. Theres lots of water and the course was in great shape, especially the greens...immaculate!! Small greens and in cart GPS to keep play speeding along. They even have a digital yardage book on their app that you can download for free which helps if you're playing the course for the first time without any assistance as a few holes are optical illusions for yardages. A great course, challenging in every way!!

Great first time

Had early tee times, was able to get a few shots off at the range. Marshal kept tee times on schedule and course was beautiful. Was paired up with three other singles and we all had a great time. Will be back to play again.

Great course with lots of water.

We played at 1:00 as a twosome and finished in a leisurely 3 hours. Course is in great shape. Not long, but be prepared to lose plenty of balls in the water!! We will definitely be back.

Golf 1 - Coronavirus 0

This place was great! First I hit some balls into the water range to set the tone for the day! Practice some putting and got out on the course early before my booked tee time. Went out solo which was great with corona/zombi apocalypse going on. The course condition I thought were great! This is my off season and visiting from Chicago I lost 7 balls and shot a 95 but had a blast doing it! Considering I haven’t swung my clubs since October and it’s March I’ll take the 95. The scenery is tops! Saw gators, bald eagles, fish jumping and countless birds! This place was exactly what I hoped it was going to be. I’ll be back before I head back North.

Scenic

This was our first time playing this course. We were pleasantly surprised. As we were early the starter allowed us to play by ourselves which given these times was very comforting.

This is the first time we ever tipped the starter and bag guys not to touch our clubs.

Course is very scenic and a nice layout. GPS on carts and lots of markers to identify distance to water on tees.

I played the back tees which was still challenging with water on every hole. Greens are postage stamps and little slow but if you hit the the flag you can expect the ball to stop abruptly which is a bonus with such small greens. As this was a free round on Golfnow I did not comment on value for the money.

Was nice to see the starter and the pro shop workers wearing gloves and clearly taking the spread of this deadly virus.

We had a new accessory, a bottle of Mr clean disinfectant.

We will be back next year for sure.

A great golfexperience

During our holiday on Sanibel We decided to play Dunes golfcourse. We were lucky with the weather almost no wind. All Homes have water, first nine was shortsen but although a challange. Back nine was tougher, lounger and and more challanging. We enjoyed the layout and the atmospher. It took us 3hours30minutes.

We can really recommend this golfcourse!
