Rans Sanibel 2024

Greens and around the greens were in great condition but just a little slow. Fairways on most holes were about 40% dirt. Many of the trees were destroyed and some are just coming back. Golf carts were new but were not electric and did not have GPS. Staff was very friendly and got us out a little earlier than our tee time. Finished 18 holes in 3hrs 20 mins

Has promise

This course was damaged terribly by hurricane Ian. Fortunately they were able to keep the course open.

The course has lots of damage but tee boxes and greens areas are in pretty good condition. The greens are doing well but not cut very short hence making them pretty slow. The fairways are a different story. Mostly bare with patches of Bermuda.

Given time and some continued cash flow, they should be back to good condition. In another year or so.

Go play and show them your support. I’ll definitely play again soon.

Great hole layouts.

The impact of Hurricane Ian is seen on most holes. I am sure it was once beautiful but will take some work.

Still very rough shape from Hurricane Ian

We played this course with anticipation of finding some issues with conditions knowing full well the destructive rath of Ian; however, my wife and I both were surprised to how much farther the course needs to come to get back to realistic playable shape. Any low areas of the fairways is complete wasteland (dirt), Sand traps were fine and the greens albeit sanded were not too bad. We would encourage people considering playing here to wait until next fall or winter.

Never played such bad fairways

I have never played on a golf course with such miserable fairways in my golfing career! There was almost no grass, just brown earth. 100$ for this golf course is an absolute cheek!

Still recovering from Ian

Greens were in very nice condition but slow. Fairways are spotty and still need grass on every hole but just pick, clean and place. Support this course as it recovers from Hurricane Ian.

Needs upgrade

The course fairways is in very poor condition, mostly hard packed dirt with little grass. The greens however are in good shape.
They really should not be charging these high prices for this quality.
No bathrooms except at clubhouse.

recovering golf course

We had an excellent time playing this course. The course is recovering from the major storm of a couple years ago which damaged it.

Many of the fairways had large areas that were obviously underwater and now have little to no grass. However there were also many areas of good fairway grass to hit from. They are still a work in progress, no doubt but we felt good about helping them by supporting their effort.
Greens were excellent and tee boxes were better than some other courses we've played. It looked like several had been re-soded and were abover average. It was a fun layout and very friendly staff.
