The Raptor Preserve

Raptor Bay was part of my 4-some's regular rotation. I really looked forward to playing there and I was very sorry to see it go. I was anxiously awaiting the opening of SaltLeaf and looking forward to this round, It is a completely different course. What I liked: The Staff is top notch and everyone here is professional and it shows. The pro shop is very well done and is well stocked, The restaurant has retained the chef and this place aways had one of my favorite cheeseburgers and I enjoyed a great burger, fries & cold beer on this day! The staff at the bar also top notch. The greens are excellent , fast, true and hard to hold. Speed was consistent on all 18 greens, Nice job here. The fairways are perfect , no bad lies on these fairways. Tee boxes all good. I did not like the driving range part of the practice area, Raptor had a really nice driving range and this was a disappointment. The putting area part of the practice range I really liked. It represented the green speed on the course very well. I found holes # 2 & # 3 to be confusing for the 1st timer and was fortunate that the starter took the time to advise on strategy & landing area. #11-17 were all fairly easy & I found the SL back nine less challenging than the old RB back nine. Overall I had a really nice day but miss Raptor Bay.

1st visit after Updates

The course was closed for the summer for updates so I was looking forward to what what done.
The pro shop is really nice and has a nice selection of apparel and golf equipment along with a excellent staff. The restaurant & bar is really nice and we had a great lunch & cold draft beer after our round.
The practice range is set up right next to the starter shack and and has a vending machine for range balls.,and a good size putting green so you can warm up & the starter will let you know when you are on deck. All the staff here is friendly and knowledgable and very professional.
The tee boxes were in good shape, we played from the whites @ about 6100 yards. Greens were slow compared to what I am use to and I had a hard time getting the ball to the hole.A few of the greens had just been top dressed so I think they will be getting quicker in the next few weeks. I was expecting the fairways to be in better condition as they were ok and playable but not in the condition I was expecting from only being open a few weeks. Hole #10 no longer has the creek cutting across the fairway and maybe that was done to speed up play but I did not see this as an improvement I liked it better with the creek. #11 is now a par 4 which I thought it always should be and the course is now a par 71.All the bridges and cart paths got upgrades and the new GPS units in the carts are super! Pace of play was excellent. Overall it was an enjoyable round and I look forward to playing here again.

Still too soggy

I have had only had 2 opportunities to play the Flamingo. Both times was cart path only due to wet fairways. . The fairways from 1 thru 11 were really too soggy to get a decent footing in the fairways. 12 thru 18 were good. All the greens were in great shape as were all the bunkers.

Pleasantly Surprised

We normally play this course 4 times a month year round. The staff here is absolutely the best and they are what makes this place special to us. The course was not in the best shape in the summer and I had not played here in 2 1/2 months.. The improvement today in the overall condition of the course was a real pleasant surprise. All though a little soggy from all the recent rain, the fairways are in good shape and you get a good lie if you hit the fairway. The tee boxes are all seeded in and ready. They have nice wildflower plantings in between that give a nice definition between the tee boxes. The greens were excellent today and true. The best I have seen them. Really enjoyed the course today, a beer and burger in the clubhouse wrapped a great round with goos friends. They will being seeing us a little more frequently !

Cart paths being redone. Lots of work going on. The entire staff here are the best! From our arrival to cart to lunch after our round we are always treated very well.

Coming back Nicely

Much improved since a month ago. greens rolled very well and tee boxes are getting in shape. I see a lot of trees being replaced and lots of work going on. They have an outstanding staff. Just a great group of people here and that is everyone from checking in to golf to lunch after the round. I have been playing here for several years and the staff has been the same and they treat us great! Looking forward to playing here again in a week.

Best Staff in Naples

The course has recovered very well since hurricane Irma.The greens are in great shape. The course is playable for most skill levels. We play here at least once week and are always treated very well by the staff. Freddie & Frank are the best. We had a nice lunch in the clubhouse after our round. They have a good menu and beer selection. I always look forward to playing here.

The post Hurricane Irma condition of the course is very good.The grounds crew must have worked very hard to get the course back in shape. The staff here is the best and we are always treated well. From bag check to lunch & a cold beer after our round I always enjoy playing here.

Wonderful Improvement!

The course has seen some excellent improvements over the past year! I was pleasantly surprised when we played this past week. The staff has always been great, and now the groundskeeper is catching up! Pace of play was excellent on 1st nine, the second nine was backed up a bit, but that is to be expected this time of year.We are putting this course back in our rotation. Nice job Spanish Wells.

Pleasant surprise

Very well maintained old course in Naples. I looked at the score card and expected an "executive course" This is not really the case. What it lacks in length it makes up for in layout and condition. Play it as designed and you will enjoy your round. It is definitely one of the few courses DESIGNED to be walked! The next tee is positioned very close to the last green played. i enjoyed it but need to replay here now that I got a round in.

Very nice addition to Naple's Golf

The driving range (with real golf balls not floaters) and practice greens are on route to the 1st tee and included in the green fee. We played from the White tees @ approx 6000 yards. The starter gave us some important tips and then circled those spots on our score card. We were very fortunate to have been paired up with a couple that have a home on the course and knew it very well. it certainly made my first round here more enjoyable as most of the water hazards are not visible from the tee box. The greens are FAST and hard to hold but they ran true and I found them consistent through all 18 holes. For a brand new course with 90% of the development under construction the staff here are doing a nice job. They do have a small pro shop open with hot dogs , some sandwiches, beer and soft drinks but it is minimal. When finished this is going to be a very nice facility. i enjoyed it and will play it again.

Very nice addition to Naple's Golf

This is a very complete facility.A most helpful staff. The posting at the starter shack provides guidance on Tee selection based off your drive length. The course is in great shape. We played in 3 1/2 hours. They have nice practice facilities. A very good teaching program. Easy access for refreshments at the turn and the addition of Duffy's provided an excellent option for lunch and a beer at the end of our round. I'm coming back soon.

Very nice addition to Naple's Golf

The day we played was windy 15 - 20 mph. The landing areas are generous and wide fairways made the course very playable in the wind. From tee to green the course is in excellent shape. No GPS available yet but enough marked sprinkler heads to get yardage . Could not find markers on the par 3 tee boxes. Plenty of Tee box options for player level. The challenge here starts on the greens. Getting on in regulation was easier than 2 putting these greens! The practice facilities are excellent, chipping area with bunkers, driving range and putting greens are staged by the starter. No clubhouse yet. The starter and staff are very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed playing here.

Enjoyable executive course.

This is a very well maintained executive style golf course. The staff here is great, they pick your clubs up from your car in the parking lot and put them back in your car when your done. The greens here are EXCELLENT. This is a very nice golf course to come out and work on your irons and short game.

Great Staff, Challenging layout

Challenging enough to keep me coming back a few times each month. Great staff. They do a nice job keeping the pace of play moving. I've played at least a dozen rounds here and all at 4 hrs or less. After such a wet summer the course is in good shape. It will only get better from here. Nice bar and grille for lunch. The staff here is one of the best in the Naples area.

Very nice adaptation of a golf course blended into nature instead of a housing development.

We played the course in 3 1/4 hours as a twosome. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There are 4 opportunities for refreshments and facilities during your round. The course was well maintained. Some forced carries over water and some tight holes. As a nature preserve anything that skirts the edges is going to be a lost ball, but there are ample landing areas and 6 tee choices so if you play the length that suits your game you will enjoy your round. No GPS but enough markers on the course that I didn't need it. I plan to return soon.
