Bonita Bay East - Sabal Course
Played On 2/5/2013Course plays well and is well laid out.
This was a course none of us(4) had played before. Each of us selected a course based upon reputation, playing conditions, and level of difficulty. This course was my choice.
The Sabol course far exceeded our expectations. It was/is well maintained and in great condition. We played a morning round on a day that was warm and sunny with limited cloudiness. We all have a handicap around 16 so we knew or expected our scores would be slighty higher than the norm because of our unfamiliarity. Sand traps, water barriers, sloping greens and length were as the courses' reputation. The greens, although very well maintained, were very fast. We likened it to putting on a marble floor or a sheet of glass. This aspect made the round go a little longer (timewise). It also increased our frustration in keeping the ball on the green and keeping our scores down, as well. We played three other courses in the Ft. Myers area during our week here. We felt that the greens, although very difficult, were not realisitic to regular play for any level of player.
We, however,still felt that this course was rated to at least a 4.6 out of 5 rating. We would definitely play this course again.
