Shell Point Golf Club

The course condition is near perfect as of this date. If you've never played the course it has excellent short game practice/ putting green/ huge driving range...same condition as the course. It's a fair layout for the forward tee boxes. Very fun from the back tees if you feel you're long enough to go for it. The wildlife is active on the course birds/Gators/ giant turtles along with eagles. Once the restaurant opens again I'd suggest having dinner....it's has unique menu of great foods! DO NOT MISS PLAYING THIS COURSE .....GO NOW it doesn't get much better. If you play bad you won't be able to blame the conditions.

Please note that no alcohol is served there. Could be a drawback for some. They have invested a lot to transform the course into perfect condition. So for some time they closed the front 9 and re-did it, while the back 9 was open. Then vice-versa. Now you can play all 18. With Golfnow the rates are reasonable but they will go up come the season. The practice facilities too are perfect. You don’t need to hit ball into the water.

The front nine was just opened after a thorough overhaul. When I played a lot earlier, the front nine was closed for renovations. Both are opened now and it’s a treat to play now. With Golfnow the prices are reasonable.

Tees fairways and greens are all very good. Nice layout with 5 different tees allow for different capabilities. Pace of play was good. Very nice course.

Played Shell Point on a Monday afternoon during peak of season. Check-in and staff friendly and helpful. Very nice range and good size practice putting green. Course was in great shape and well maintained. There is some road construction going on which affected one or two holes but really not a big deal. Pace of place was good after a holdup on early long par 3. Price was a deal considering what it costs to play in SW Florida during season. Can’t wait to visit again!

Other than some peripheral construction of homes, this course is immaculate. I have never seen greens so well maintained and with such consistently fine grooming. It’s challenging yet forgiving. Highly recommend this for all levels of players. Great practice range and chipping/ putting areas. I hope they continue to keep this open to the public as the community matures.

Was easy to book and was a great course in a beautiful setting with a very friendly staff.

Some of the nicest greens, fairways, tee boxes, bunkers, and primary roughs I've ever played. Challenging layout, somewhat tight in spots, but overall generous landing areas. May want to lay up on some shots. Very friendly and helpful staff. Played as a threesome and finished in four hours. Overall great experience. Some off course construction. Could use better on course directional signage but no big deal. Note to drinkers.. . does not serve alcohol.

This course brings a smile to my face everytime. The tee times were seperated at correct intervals rendering a good pace of play for the most part albeit an occasional slow group. The ranger will inform slow groups & good pace returns.
The greens rolled true & not uncontrollably fast or slow.
Give Shell Point a try you won't be disappointed.

Pristine conditions in every aspect. Outstanding staff is very helpful and friendly. Greens are excellent and roll true. Tee boxes are level in great shape. Good challenge with water coming into play on many holes. Beautiful place should be a must play for all levels.

Excellent course and value for your money. This icourse is designed for precision and excellent greens with a perfect pace.

Used rental clubs, for $30 you get outdated clubs and not all same gender. Bag of mixed clubs.... greens were great but fairway was so so. No rangers to help speed up play. Need more yardage markers. No cart person driving around on the weekend. No alcohol sold there. Don’t pay full price for your round

we had a good round in decent time on a well maintained golf course.

the only Con was the booking on the GolfNow homepage which obviously has malfunctions.
next time we will book directly at the pro shop !

I go to Fort Myers every year for a week of golf. I had played Shell Point several years ago before it was upgraded, so wasn’t expecting a lot. It was a nice course back then, just nothing special. Wow, what a surprise! The course was incredible, probably the best I’ve played in the area. The greens are definitely the best I’ve ever played on. The front nine had recently reopened after being renovated so we expected it would be nice, but with one (picky) exception the back nine was just as nice. One fairway on the back was a little hard with uneven growth, but that only stands out because the rest of the course was so beautiful. The one issue that took away from the experience just a little was the on-going construction. Shell Point is a huge residential and extended care facility, and it’s being expanded. As a result, major construction is occurring off the course. The only impacts were cart path detours on a couple holes, and the range was closed. No playing areas were affected though, so it was easy to ignore the construction. Overall a fantastic course, now clearly at the top of our list.
