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.

Sanibel Island Golf Club

Wow. Sanibel Island Golf Club is beautiful and the staff is super friendly and helpful. This course was closed for two months while they completely redid the greens and the result is a spectacular golf course, surrounded by nature, on a beautiful island. If you played it before and were disappointed, you will not be disappointed when you play it now. In my opinion, it is now one of the best courses in the area and I am an avid golfer who plays 4 days a week. Not only is the course in great shape, but you will get excellent service in the pro shop. Kudos to everyone that brought this course back to being #1 on my list of best golf courses around. We were the first golfers on the tee this morning when they reopened and already have our tee times booked for the weekend.
