Ready for a challenge

The course was in really good shape and the greens were very true, though somewhat hard to read. Be prepared to hit the ball straight off the tee given the number of holes with water on either (or both) sides of the fairways. Have played the course a couple of times now, and always a consistent breeze or wind that will affect your shots. All in all a great play. Only negative was the snack shack was closed and no beverage carts.

Worth playing for the money

Well kept for the most part......couple tee boxes need some attention. Greens were very good and fairways were very good. There is a lot of water on this course so you can go through a few balls if you are not careful. Fun to play.

BEST CONDITIONING I HAVE EXPERIENCED CURRENTLY

Well cropped tee blocks and fairways along with fast true greens. I have played 6 other courses in the last 6 days, many of which were far more expensive . This one has superior conditioning of all of them. ONLY DOWNFALL...4 of the holes on the back nine are way too gimmicky and sorrowfully discredit the course as a whole. I was completely sold on this course until I hit #s 11, 13, 14 & 15. Too bad! Outside of that......great golf course for a very reasonable price.

Starving to Death

The Clubhouse snack bar is only open from 7 AM to 11 AM so you are out of luck if you thought you could catch a hot dog or hamburger for lunch. This policy is preposterous. Somebody should wake up somebody in golf operations and do a survey of the golfers and members to reconsider this policy.

Wake up Shell Point Management and reopen your snack bar.

Nice golf course

Shell Point is a well maintained and challenging golf course. There are some beautiful holes with quite a variety of layout. The back nine has several holes with large wide water hazard man made creeks that require some caution on your drive. Plenty of holes with water and unplayable landscape ...so take lots of balls! I recommend playing this course!

Not at all worth what I paid

I have played a lot of different and more expensive courses and never have I felt like I was being ripped off. They allow people to dig for balls during the round in the water. There is lots of construction going on so very difficult to get around in some spots. When you go to their website you should be warned that the whole back nine is in a construction area. The course is ok but very difficult to get around. There is no cart person which again they don't say on their website. I love beautiful golf courses and this is definitely not one of them. The last hole is next to a plant or something and you hear the road. Not a very pleasurable place for a round of golf and not worth the money. Save your money or spend a little more and play a really nice course.

Amazing conditions and layout

Played a lot of golf in Ft. Myers and this is one of the best if not the best. The layout and especially conditions of the course were a 10. These were some of the best greens I've ever played. Can't wait to play again .

In Naples for the week, Shell Point was the only course I could find with availability in the early morning for under $100. Course was fantastic. I’m a 9 handicap and it was challenging enough, especially in the wind. Great fairways, greens and practice facility. The only downside is not having GPS in the carts, or photos of the holes on the scorecard. It’s tricky your first time without those.
Booked as a single, and after getting to the range the starter told me they’d pair me with a threesome and told me I’d have to share a cart. They let me out before the post 10:30 discounted time I had so I could play as a single where there was a decent opening.

Very nice course.

Nice course but a lot of water and lost balls for me. No refreshments kart and in fact no beer sold there, on the course nor at club house. Further , no food served after 11am so a bit restrictive. All that being said the course was in great shape with very nice greens and fairways well cared for. Price was very good so while they don’t allow outside coolers I’d bring a couple of barley-pops in your bag and enjoy the course, I’ll definitely go back.

Best quality course in the area

Every part of this course is great. The fairways are excellently groomed, the greens are lightning fast and the there is a wide variety of nicely manicured tee boxes to choose from. Only issue is that the entire course is dry. No cart person, and no alcohol so no beer after your round. Had a hotdog at the turn with a three week old bun. The golf is great, but go somewhere else after. Would definitely play again.
