Great Course/Fantastic Greens

The greens were firm, fast and impeccable!. They have redone the fairways and rough on the front nine and some holes on the back. Will finish the rest in the off season, however, they were very acceptable in the current conditions. I can't wait to come back and play this course again.

Amazing First Class Conditions!

After playing three other very nice courses, I finally found a First Class golf course! This place was amazing! Fairways, bunkers and greens were all FIVE STAR!!! This course is a must! Some target golf but I will play Shell Point EVERY time I return to Fort Myers! Loved it!!!

Great facility in a great location

One of my favorite facilities in the Fort Myers area. Course conditions and layout are 5 star. However, I was sent off the back nine with another single and when we made the turn we ran into a wall of foursomes and we came to find out this is a “dry” facility.

Sloooow

We booked through golfnow when we arrived to find that the proshop did not have our tee times, however they had something that they received that showed our time but they failed to put it on the tee time. They squeezed us in and asked us to start on the back nine. We caught up with a group on the second hole and waited every shot for 17 holes.
At one point I saw a fellow that was playing and I noticed he was an employee. He was obviously off duty but I asked him why they did not have rangers. He said if I called the pro shop they may send someone out but likely only ask the group to speed up. We figured when we got to the front nine they would be gone. No suck luck as apparently they also started on the back. 4 hours and forty minutes is unreasonable. Ridiculous. We could see at least two open holes ahead of this group
At one time golfers use to care they were holding up other golfers. Seems lately no one cares. Also seem like the golf courses only seem to police traffic early in the morning when their members are playing. For green fee players they have your money so who cares??
As for the course, I love this course. Played it several times. Just very frustrating. Courses in Florida in prime season need Marshalls.

Wonderful day on Shell Point

The course has a great layout, don’t mind the construction around 10th. A windy course for certain but generous fairways help with driver placement. Greens tend to get fast later in the day. Large greens are a bit hard to read at times but seem consistent around course. Course lacks concessions after 11am which is a disappointment . Water is available on front and back fairways.

Great course! Challenging but you can score if you keep it in the fairway. Pace of play was frustrating at times especially the front nine. The round took about 5 hours to complete which is unusual for this course. Otherwise we had a great time and I would highly recommend this course.

Gorgeous Course

As soon as you pull into the property , you notice the lushness of the grounds. The golf course is vibrantly green. Bag drop attendant was awesome. Pro shop guys were good. Starter was super helpful.
The course is a picture postcard. Not particularly difficult but a lot of fun.

Lots of water

Great fairways. Only complaint and likely the fault of Golf Now, not the course, is that they did not have my name on the record. I was known as “Golf Now” on their tee sheet, instead of my name. This was frustrating to me and the Pro Shop cashier. They did not even know if I had paid until I showed them my confirmation email. By any means necessary, you must improve this part of the app; it is not in tune with modern technology available today.

One of the best

I always wanted to play this course since I’ve been coming down as a Snowbird to Southwest Florida. But it was always to much for me in season. I got a great deal on golf now I can’t explain it but using one of my $20 coupons it was awesome. The course itself is super nice especially the front nine was in excellent condition all the way around. The back nine is Soso but it’s because of the construction going on and they’re closing the course at the end of the month. to fix it But if you get a chance at a reasonable price to play this course do it you’ll enjoy it they have all types of teas for whatever type of golfer you are and as I said the staff is so friendly
