Back Nine
Front nine were player friendly back nine was difficult from all t boxes with blind shots from tee boxes
Great Public Course
Have now played the Dunes a half dozen times and it is an excellent golf course that is extremely well maintained and run. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers are all in beautiful shape. Very very scenic, excellent staff. Then there is the water! It is everywhere and unless you are are extremely precise you will lose a lot of balls even when playing reasonably well. Along with fairly stiff fees can make for an expensive day! But worth it.
Hidden beauty
Wonderful course, very scenic, but make sure you bring plenty water balls
Don't Let The Scorecard Yardage Keep You From Playing
I started not to play because the scorecard yardage made this course appear to be too short for my ability. However, this is a challenging layout, since there is an emphasis on placement off the tee, because of water on nearly every hole.
I rarely needed to hit my driver, and found that hitting my 3, 4 or 5 hybrid and a short iron was all that was needed on most holes (we played the senior tees). Accuracy is very necessary, and not always distance. The greens were generally well bunkered, challenging, and putted true. All fairways were in very good condition.
Golf with the gators
Always a fun course to play and excellent conditions! Friendly front desk, starters & marshals. Wildlife on every fairway. Best course on Sanibel & surrounding area. Been playing since 1985 and gets better every year!
tight and challenging
The pro shop and cart guys are both really friendly. The course was in good shape, tee boxes good, fairways very nice and well cut. Greens smooth and even, firm and quite fast, also some challenging slopes and undulations. The course is somewhat short, It is a little surprising until you realize how much water there is. The course requires precision for distance as well as direction. Definitely not a bomber's course. We would certainly plat again.
BRING EXTRA BALLS
lots of water here. leave your driver at home. It was windy that day. I typically shoot in the high 80s.... I was well over 100 that day
Hey "william9318857" thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Now that you've seen the course maybe next time you won't lose as many balls!
Always a highlight!
A short but very challenging course with lots of water. Even low hcp need to show their abilities. The recently finished green and bunker renovations came out to be excellent. Fast , hard and very true greens. A place where you even feel very welcomed to stay for an after round beer. Great views and wildlife. One of our favorites!
Hey "u000006641442" thank you so much for the positive review! We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the new greens and bunkers! Come see us again soon.
A special golf experience
Good golf course, short bad challenging. Service perfect. We come again.
Hey "Griem" thank you so much for the positive review! We hope to see you again soon.
One off the best courses
Perfect layout, fast and very true greens, great condition
Hey "Hanslebek" thank you so much for the awesome review! We are glad you liked our new greens and hope you will come back soon.
Fabulous!
Played just after the hurricane in windy conditions. We enjoyed it so much we played it twice and we got the pleasure of meeting a massive croc/alligator 2nd time round. Millionaires golf with Boone about!. Fabulous
Hi Emily6800,
Thank you for your five star rating! We are thrilled to know you enjoyed the course so much that you played it twice! We hope to see you back again soon!
Worth the Drive to Sanibel
This was a nice surprise. I was not sure what it was going be be like. There was the ADVISORY warning on the GolfNow advertisement. However, the greens and fairways were in great shape after they were reconditioned a few weeks ago.
There were happy hour discounts in the very nice bar after the round. Dwight the bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. I'd gladly do this course again.
Hey "u859018084" thank you so much for the positive review! We are glad that you were pleasantly surprised by the course conditions and we hope to see you again soon!
short but tough
In excellent shape both fairways and greens , as the title says, short but challenging, probably booked solid in season, play in summer, hardly anyone there then, friendly staff, great bar & grill
Hey "jgoyanes1955" thank you so much for the 5* review! We are glad that you enjoyed the recently updated greens! We look forward to having you back soon!
dont bother
I was not informed that the greens were in fact light sandy burned out colour - no green grass to be seen. greens were badly damaged in places. instead of taking my green fee the course should be closed.
nice lay out - hope it gets in better condition. DO NOT VISIT unless you know how bad its going to be
What a sad review! Played there for 30 years and never experienced noted conditions. The Dunes has always been top notch!
Hi "georgekkl," we are so sorry to hear that your experience with us did not exceed your expectations. We are constantly working on improving our course and appreciate your feedback. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience the conditions of our course may have caused you.
Besides dead greens, great course
The course layout is unique. Water on every hole makes for a challenge. The green will be under repair in a few weeks, so they are spraying to kill them. Besides that the course is in great condition and excellently maintained. We paid $20 each from golf now, wonderful deal.
Hey "Mabeline21" thank you for the positive review. We like that you find the course unique and enjoy the challenge. We are happy to hear that you got a great deal and hope you come see us again soon.
Great Golf Day
a very nice Golfcourse, we come back
Hey "u000006557148" we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and hope you come see us again soon!
Say away
Greens were top dressed...didn't tell us before....disappointing. Extremely short.....can't use driver...practice irons.
Fairways shape...mediocre
Target golf
I would not play there again.
Hi "kidbee" we are sorry that you did not enjoy your time out on the course. We do appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and hope that you will give us another chance soon.
