Great Course! Best Greens Around!

This course has the best greens of any course I’ve played in the last 3 years. Some fairway damage from the hurricane but an absolutely beautiful course.

Obviously the course is still suffering from the hurricane! Greens and tee boxes were in good shape. However the fairways were simply awful at this point and it will be a long time til they are back! They were kind enough to advance warn you to bring your own drinks and food as that part was still not operational. They are doing their best in a tough situation.

Just understand the difficulties of a small business trying to recover

As you play your round, keep in mind that the course (fairways) are void of grass in many areas on virtually every fairway. As an avid golfer, understand that a large portion of your green fees are going towards course recovery. This course could be special when the fairways come back (if they can come back). Course management was very honest about the conditions of the course. By the way, the greens were very nice and playable. Bring a couple of cold beers along with some good friends and enjoy the day. This would be a fun course to play a scramble. Let’s support a small business trying to recover from the storm. No 3-putts!

Great layout and fantastic greens

This was my first time playing the course since Hurricane Ian. I hope everyone understands that a lot of work has been put in to get this course back up and running. Drew is great and soon enough it will be back to its full glory. The greens are perfect. Some of the best greens you’ll find in all of south Florida. The clubhouse is coming a long and the restaurant isn’t open yet. The fairways need some work, but very playable. Overall, I love this course. The layout is great and the staff is wonderful.

Under maintenance, we'll kept

Obviously there was a MAJOR hurricane that hit this course recently, but this maintenance team is phenomenal. The greens were in top 5 shape of the best courses I've played, and I've played some big name courses. The staff was terrific and the starter was the best. I will definitely play this course again.

Playing on Sanibel Island at high season was a treat

The staff was friendly and accommodating. A little crowded on the front 9. Wide open on the back.

If you are a high handicap player like me, bring a lot of balls for the front 9 - many opportunities to lose them.

Back 9 is a lot more forgiving.

Greens were incredible.

Fairways not so much. We had an agreement that we could pick a ball off of the mud and place on the nearest patch of grass.

Ian Hurt this course

After going through a 500 year storm this will course will recover once they get their fairways back. Green were in outstanding shape. I will go back and play it again. Course layout was outstanding. Staff we top notch

Still recovering

Greens are pretty decent all things considered. Fairways probably need another summer to be back to its former glory. But considering the cost of a morning tee time in season, this place is not a bad option

Hurricane Ian issues

Haven’t played there in a few years. First time after hurricane Ian. People very friendly. Not much of a clubhouse, though damaged by the hurricane. Greens are good and tees, which weren’t great before, have remained unchanged. However, the fairways are a disaster, with large swaths, (at times 70-80 yards in size) of nothing but mud. I question what they are going to do in the long run, as I don’t see any quick fix to this problem. Plus, they’re charging 3 figures to play there. I gave it 2 stars because the staff is very friendly and the tees and greens are playable

Don’t use red golf balls

The guy who said not to use a red golf ball was on point. A black crow picked up my ball on front nine but dropped it. On back nine a crow took my ball. If you are vacationing on Sanibel and want an easier golf course this one will work. If you want more of a challenge try The Dunes. And if so bring plenty of balls.

Beautiful course and greens

We totally enjoyed playing on this beautiful course!
The greens have been redone and they are great!
The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed having a light lunch at the Blue Giraffe restaurant in the club house.
We would recommend golfing at this Sanibel course!

Crow Thief

First drive. Red golf ball in the middle of the fairway. Thinking “Well done”. Crow swoops down and steals my ball. My daughter and playing partner was laughing so hard she could hardly play. Check out the wildlife and don’t use a colored golf ball.

Really enjoyed the course. Great layout and beautiful property. Like playing in a tropical jungle with all of the wildlife, but didn't see any gators. Played from the white tees and shot 72. I would play from the blues the next time just to play a different course.
