Best course on Sanibel Island

The layout of the course is great despite a couple of short Par 3's. There is plenty of alligators to watch and the setup of the course asks for a tactical play. Always a great experience!

Thank you so much for the five-star review and we couldn't agree more that we are the best course on the island - although we may be a bit biased!

Fun course

Started on the back 9. I forgot how much water comes into play. Pace of play even as a single was fine. The reward was that the front 9 seemed easy after 10-18.

Thank you for coming back to check us out again. There is certainly a good amount of water (which adds to the beauty if you can avoid it). We are thrilled to hear that the pace was good for you and that you enjoyed your time with us. Come on back again soon!

Great tip on not letting the yardage fool you. It may not be the longest track, but if you lose focus on one shot you may be paying the price! Thanks for coming out and we hope to see you again soon.

First time playing the Dunes. Short, challenging, and convenient. Some of the greens had damage, but were very playable. Will be back next year.

Watery Grave

The Dunes is a very nice course an it's well kept. Water comes into play on 16 holes. This course is not a slicers friend since there is water to the right on many holes. Club rental includes 2 sleeves of balls. The average golfer will need them all. The front 9 is easier than the back. Enjoy

xtra fee

the greens were not nearly as well off as those of the practice area ...there has been a lot of rain, and so not too much of a surprise ...it's " off season" and so improvements are being made and at $10.00 for a hot deal can not be beat ...be advised you do add an additional 6 dollar fee for the toll bridge ...still very much worth it !

Challenging

This is a very difficult course for anyone who hasn't played here before. Water hazards on every hole make it scary for wayward shots. Short golf course but a lot of holes call for less than driver off the tee. Hit it straight and you will score well. Left or right you'll be in for a wet round.

Good layout.

Vacation every year in Captiva and will usually drive in to play The Dunes. Good price, good layout and friendly staff. Lots of water make it challenging with some tight fairways. I especially like crossing the road for 16-19. Very scenic.

Challenging course with lots of water, hazards and wildlife. Course was in great shape and staff super. As a novice golfer it poses lots of challenges, but is a fun course to play.

If you play this course, take your camera.

I think I enjoy all the wildlife as much as the great golf course. All the water is surrounded by lots of different wildlife. We saw birds that we had never seen before. I would highly recommend this golf course, but take your camera.

Challenging but fair

There is a lot of water on this course that penalizes errant shots off the tee and mistruck approach shots. The course is well maintained although their bunkers were very firm. The driving range is a lake which makes it a great place for kids to practice. They have great people working there that make your visit extra special.

Bring Your Control

This a beautiful course. To enjoy your round here, you must hit straight. An aerial view will support this: there is water everywhere. There is an app that illustrates the course: bring your smart phone, scan the code from the cart for a decided advantage
