The Inns of Sanibel Beach and Golf Resorts

Back 9 was closed but front was in nice condition. We played the 9 twice and was very pleased. Staff was nice but finished the first round before 111am and the restraint was closed. It was worth the 1 hour drive to play.

I paid to play 18 holes of golf, but was told that the back 9 was closed when I was making the turn. The proshop said they could not reimburse me for the back nine because I paid through GolfNow. How do I get credit for the back nine from GolfNow? The front nine was in good condition, but it took an hour just to get on Sanibel island.

Back nine closed, didn’t know it beforehand, didn’t even know it until we made the turn.

This was my first time playing the dunes, and there’s no doubt in my mind that this used to be an amazing golf course, and still can be an amazing golf course…..but as of right now it’s simply not worth the money you pay. The course is very green and appealing to the eye but the fairways are thick and the greens are slow and furry. I understand that they are under repair from the storm but that should reflect in their green fees and it doesn’t. Front 9 only which was specified, and no driving range which wasn’t specified.

With all that being said I loved the island, and the course layout enough to try it again if they get the full course back open and trim those greens. The fella at the pro shop and starter were both amazing guys and the clubhouse/ dining area looked great in my opinion. If you play both tennis and golf The Dunes is worth checking out.

Only the first nine are playable.

All practice facilities are closed.

The price is not justified.

Couldn’t find the staff, cart fee not included. Wasn’t that nice of a course for the price

Have played here several times and it’s always a pleasure playing the course. It’s not that long even from the back tees but it’s not about the length but the layout and strategy required to navigate the OOB and the amount of water hazards on the golf course. Always in great condition with lush green fairways and well prepared tees. The greens are generally small so you need to be accurate with your approach. Did find the greens hard to read and two paced but maybe that was due to the wet conditions being September in Florida. Will hopefully give the course another go when we return in May 2023.

Course is really fun to play. Short yardage but you need to be accurate on most of the holes. I’m from Washington state so it’s fun to play these nicer courses in Florida

Really unique course. There is more water than land on the property, and the water into play on almost every hole. With good tee shots and approaches the course is very attackable. It’s short enough that you can leave your driver at home. However, water comes into play on every miss.

Great course staff and grounds crew great. Lots of water bring extra balls !!

First timer to Sanibel. This is a beautiful course. Lots of water, gee, there's a surprise. Play was fast. Very friendly and courteous staff.

Beautiful course that really pairs well with the natural beauty of Sanibel Island. A lot of water to lose a ball in and a bit of a drive between some holes on the back nine.

Shorter on the card. Plays longer. You would need a driver on a couple of holes. Def more challenging than S. Island. Bring an extra sleeve in case you lose your a game on a hole or two. Wildlife keeps it interesting. Fun stuff. 1st tee box is to your left. 10th tee area under construction. As well as 18 green where a bridge is being built. Makes access to 18 green a little difficult and slows play.

What a fun little course. The course is quite short but lots of fun. Lots of holes with forced layups so you have to be strategic and not just blast driver all the time. If you can't hit over water I wouldn't recommend playing here. Lots of shots that require you to carry water. Great course, water on every hole or almost, but not in a scary way (for me anyway.. i tend to hit relatively straight). I will bring family out to come play here. Price is great in offseason. If you're from out of town I wouldn't advise against playing during season even though it will be more expensive. You could play pretty awful courses for a high price so I'd rather play here.
