Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course
Played On 05/26/2020Suffering from lack of maintenance and amenities
First time on Flamingo but have played Lely’s Mustang course several times over the past 10 years. Conditions today were well below my expectations based on those rounds. No question some of that is due to Covid-19, and some is due to 3 previous days of heavy rain preventing mowing some of the course. Driving range also closed, so couldn’t warm up. Greens were very good but fairways and tee boxes were mediocre. Traps were unplayable due to the recent rains so we were told to place any shots out of them into the grass; certainly understandable given the rain. Worst part was no water available to drink, and only one beverage cart for 36 holes (that is, covering both of the Flamingo and Mustang courses). When we asked for water before the first tee we were told the cart was out there but we never got service despite calling the pro shop out of desperation and asking them to bring us water by the time we got to the 14th tee. Very hot and humid, so we were parched by the 18th hole. Very willing to overlook glitches given the challenges of the pandemic but we paid too much for those conditions and failure to provide water. Unacceptable. I will not go back.
