Nice

Course was in great shape considering it had rained recently, drained well. Short course, wish I had played from the blues. Will play again when I'm in Sanibel.

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.

Greens were horribly damaged and impossible to putt on, should have mentioned when I booked. Paid $110 for the round and felt completely ripped off.

Fun course

This Sanibel course is challenging and full of local wildlife. The staff is friendly and accommodating.
The layout is interesting with each hole isolated from any other holes. The only problem is that several of the greens are in poor condition and probably should be redone. With that correction it would be an outstanding course, and despite that problem I play this course 5-6 times a year.

I was totally upset and disappointed.. They have completely lost their greens and they will be shutting down the course in May. I think Golf Now should be aware of this and take it off as an option until this course is refurbished.
It was a total rip off!!!!!!

Honesty

The staff advised they had a problem with the greens. If I wasn’t happy after 4 holes they would refund my fee no questions asked. The greens weren’t great but everything else was very good. Fairways had grass. The layout was challenging.. They advised greens to be replaced in May.
I will play again

Sanibel Golf Club

This course charged $125 to play unputtable greens.. They should tell you that when booking. Course should be closed until their greens are replaced. After driving 30 minutes to get their we were told we could get our money back after 3 holes if we were unhappy.
Worst greens I’ve played including putt putt courses.

Great day on the island.

Nice course. Very scenic. Worth the $50 from Golf Now. The people in front of me checking in paid $138. We knew the greens were in bad shape before we got there. They rolled alright just had poor a lot of bare spots on them. Hopefully next year they will be better.
