Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

There were too many players on the course! Long waiting times. No Marshal in sight!

It is always a treat to play the Dunes. The greens were in excellent shape and I never had a bad lie in the fairway. The pro shop staff was exceptionally helpful and courteous. There was a snafu with my booking the tee time through Golfnow, but they resolved it without any additional stress to me.

One last note for anyone playing the course. Take whatever club you need to be in the fairway - even if it's an iron. It's easier to score from the short grass than from the water.

Course is not long , but played all holes from back tees and must drive over water frequently . Some over 200 yds.

Course knowledge seems important.

Viewed a lot of wildlife , mostly birds but also two ten foot long aligators on banks, This is really nice to see.

Would definitely come back and play if the price is right.

Mildly rainy weather and course was wet but drained well and was in excellent shape. Staff was great getting me out early and I was never held up. Great experience and excellent course despite slightly wet conditions.

First, it’s clear Sanibel is not a golf destination. The Dunes is “way” overpriced for what it offers. The course is very short at 5700 par 70, from the back tees. Water on 17 out of 18 holes, but doesn’t come into play as much as you’d think. The layout is a little goofy, due to the limitation of land. This course would be fine, if not for the price. I like playing in the morning and $105 for this course just doesn’t make sense. I tend to play the nicer courses when I have the chance and have no issue paying the going rate to play them, but this doesn’t live up to the expectation. At $50-$75 this would be a different review... a cute little course that makes the most out of what it has. Condition was ok... The greens were inconsistent, slow to medium speed with a couple that were noticeably faster. Bunkers were damp, packed and damp (no rain for days here), obviously lacking maintenance and needing more sand. The back has some solid holes. 14 thru 18 are good finishing holes, with a couple challenging par 4’s, a longish par 3 into the wind and a couple reachable par 5’s. I like that stretch. The course needs one of two things. Either, lower the price and keep it the way it is, or keep the price and bring up the overall course conditions. I understand they have a captive audience, but they could do better.

The course, while a bit short on yardage, makes up for it by bringing water into play on almost every hole. The course was in excellent shape with tee boxes, fairways and greens all well maintained. The first nine moved along at a decent pace but the back nine was extremely slow. Other than that it's a track worth considering.

After playing the Dunes course For the 1st time on Monday I decided to try it again on Wednesday to see if I could Improve on my 1st outing. Well I lost 5 balls on Monday and then 6 balls on Wednesday in all that water on a windy day so NO improvement but I still enjoyed the course and the challenges it presents.

The golf course was beautiful and challenging. Water EVERYWHERE and small greens require pinpoint accuracy. Enjoyed my round and contributed 5 balls to the collection. Will endeavor to lose less balls next time. Highly recommend this course.

Great course. Short but challenging. Will be back for sure. Have to be able to hit your shots. Had to lay up on several holes. Scenery is good and weather was great. Thanks guys

Great course and challenging. Great turkey club at the 19th hole.

The course was totally dried out and the grass brown!

Started out as a single but Mark came up behind me & we had a wonderful day of golf. Greens were consistent & putting was a key to good round of golf. Really enjoyed the day.

A little pricey relative to other courses in the area.

I made my way back to the Dunes for my yearly Florida visit. The course was in great condition, even better than last year and I was quite impressed last year. Bunkers seemed a lot cleaner this year and the gator population was much more prevalent. I love seeing gators on the course and I was not disappointed. The back 9 is one of my favorite stretches of holes. A short track but definitely not one you take lightly, I played here two times during my trip and the second round we caught the wind, nothing quite like heavy wind and a lot of water to set your ego straight. I love it here and would recommend to anyone. The price is a little high but the amenities and scenery help create value.

Beautiful course with tons of water. Most tee shots require a lay up. I loved playing the course. The staff are extremely helpful and course is in great shape.
