The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club

Gorgeous course, but just too much water….bring lots of balls! The staff was fantastic and conditions excellent! Can’t wait to play again.

First time back after recovery from Ian. With 2 gal friends as my friend is rebuilding her condo unit. Pleasantly surprised in the shape of the course. Found out through other reviews all 18 are currently open. We thought greens , and fairways were in great shape. You can see trees missing and mangrove areas that were devastated from hurricane. That did not affect the wonderful recovery efforts put back into this beautiful and challenging course.. highly recommend playing on Sanibel at the Dunes. Beautiful redone Proshop, friendly and helpful staff as well.

We were forewarned the conditions might not be the best, after Ian devastated the island Sept 28, 2022. Our first island visit, since the hurricane, our expectations were low, but the "little course that could" is back! Greens and tees were in great shape, and other than a few spots here and there, the fairways were excellent too. As a low single digit handicap, I was concerned about the length; however, there is plenty of challenge here. Pops (aged 90y) and I had a round with a local member and had a blast. Additionally, the golf pro helped me transfer my GN tee time from Tuesday to Friday after Shipstick/FedEx let my clubs sit in Ft Myers for 2 days, without charging me an extra fee - outstanding customer service! The only review category that gets dinged is the green fee; $130 seems more appropriate IMO.

Course has a fun layout. Was happy back 9 was open. They said it started March 1st.

Really enjoyed playing this course, every hole was picturesque.Very good conditions considering the hurricane hit only 1.5 yrs ago.Staff were very friendly, only complaint is should get a small bucket of balls prior to play for free on the range.Will come back again for sure

Thought the greens were to slow but everything else was fantastic, the course conditions were better than a country club

Course is somewhat gimmicky a couple unfair tee blocks from the blue and black tees. Greens need a little work some rough spots for the money. And greens were very slow maybe a 4 on the stemp meter. Wonderful staff great carts.

Course is pretty good, it's a bit short form the tips at 5600 yards, the challenge is strategically placing your ball which makes this an enjoyable course.
Only issue we encountered was that as a Hot Deal, and Golf Now didn't clearly identify that the back 9 was closed and we had to play the front 9 twice. (which offers advantages as you get to better your score since you now know where to target your landing areas)

Back 9 was closed but front was in nice condition. We played the 9 twice and was very pleased. Staff was nice but finished the first round before 111am and the restraint was closed. It was worth the 1 hour drive to play.

I paid to play 18 holes of golf, but was told that the back 9 was closed when I was making the turn. The proshop said they could not reimburse me for the back nine because I paid through GolfNow. How do I get credit for the back nine from GolfNow? The front nine was in good condition, but it took an hour just to get on Sanibel island.

Back nine closed, didn’t know it beforehand, didn’t even know it until we made the turn.
