Cart lost power on hole 14-no help was available

One of our carts lost power and when we called the clubhouse for help no one answered the phone. Had to push dead cart with other cart to finish. Staff never offered to clean clubs at end of round and seemed to disappear after we mentioned that our cart died on the course.

The course itself was great, real nice conditions, the problem was lack of beverage cart, she stopped by us on the 2nd hole and never returned. It shortly after noon when we first saw her , if you’re quitting early let people know.

Very decent layout

Only issue is no halfway house and menu selection for the turn not displayed so there was some confusion for ordering

One of the best

Definitely one of the best golf values in town. The course was in great condition from tee to green. The staff were friendly and the practice facilities were great. The course is challenging but fair and accessible for even a high handicap golfer.

Great course

Lely Golf Course have two courses. Both are in fantastic condition. Flamingo corse is the shorter of the two but that doesn’t mean it isn’t challenging. Pin placement and bunkers make the wide open corse a challenge for even the better players. We enjoyed playing there and will return next year

Thumbs Up

Lely’s Flamingo is a pretty nice course but too often overpriced, especially in high season, so is full value as a summertime Hot Deal. The course was virtually empty, in excellent shape and played extremely well. The greens were particularly true, which resulted in me carding a personal-best score for a full-length course. I only wish the staff was a bit friendlier and the workmen did not get in the way so much. Even so, recommended.

Used cart

The Flamingo course was in excellent condition. The staff was professional. I paid $46 which covered greens fees, cart, bottled water on the cart and unlimited range balls. It was a tremendous value. I did have a slow twosome in front of me and the course was wide open ahead of them. However, they didn't wave me up to play through. That wasn't the fault of the facility. They were poor players and probably not familiar with proper golf etiquette. Looking forward to playing the other course, Mustang.
