Needs upgrade

The course fairways is in very poor condition, mostly hard packed dirt with little grass. The greens however are in good shape.
They really should not be charging these high prices for this quality.
No bathrooms except at clubhouse.

recovering golf course

We had an excellent time playing this course. The course is recovering from the major storm of a couple years ago which damaged it.

Many of the fairways had large areas that were obviously underwater and now have little to no grass. However there were also many areas of good fairway grass to hit from. They are still a work in progress, no doubt but we felt good about helping them by supporting their effort.
Greens were excellent and tee boxes were better than some other courses we've played. It looked like several had been re-soded and were abover average. It was a fun layout and very friendly staff.

It’s great for a lot of reasons

It depends what you are looking for. I have a place in captiva and playing golf off island is tough. Sanibel golf course is close, the greens are great, the layout is interesting, fairways are beat up but who cares. Roll it 3 feet find some grass and play. They are trying to recover from the hurricane and I’m happy to help. Give ‘em a little cash and have a fun round! If you are a golf jerk this isn’t for you. If you want to have fun and just get out there and play this is great.

Looking around and impressed

I have played here many times for years. Driving around the island and seeing the remains from Ian I think this golf course is quite impressive.
The greens are very impressive. Amazing thick green grass that rolled true. Greens and adjacent to greens was all good
Fairways are in less good condition. You must play “winter rules”. There is not grass ever. And unfortunately, the fairway on 18 is the poorest. That may leave a lasting thought.
Overall, the course was impressive. Greens allowed for pleasant round in a perfect day for golf

Over Valued

All though the greens are in good shape, the fairways & tee boxes are in very poor shape… for $100 for green fees, this course is currently not worth the price… hopefully they will get the fairways straightened out from where they are today…

First time on this course and first visit to Sanibel since the Hurricane. Was pleasantly surprised how well cleanup has progressed on the island . The tee boxes were in good shape and the greens and the area around the greens was excellent. The fairways are still a little spotty from the hurricane damage but the bare areas have been reseeded and appear to be on the way to full recovery. The owner was very friendly and appears to be trying hard to get this course back to pre hurricane conditions. Hope everyone heads out to Sanibel for some golf and helps get this course back on track .

Nice course

Nice course, friendly staff. The fairways are about 80% grown back from the hurricane. There are know snacks or drinks. Take your own.

The pro, Drew and the lady that checked me in were both great! Very informative and helpful!
The greens were in excellent shape. The fairways were far from perfect, but reasonable when you consider they were covered with salt water for months!
Enjoyed the course and the experience!

All new greens

For those who haves played this course in the past few years you will recall the poor condition of the greens. This has been corrected with brand new greens on every hole.
Now you appreciate the contours of the greens and consistent green play for the whole course.
