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.

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.
