Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course
Played On 03/16/2015Pricey, but worth it
I don't have a bad thing to say about the course. Tees, fairways, and greens were all in excellent shape. Greens had recently been top-coated so they rolled pretty fast, but once you get a feel for it on one it's not a problem. The GPS on the cart gives you everything you could ever need as far as yardage to hazards, the cart in front of you, and greens. It also flashes sports updates along the bottom like ESPN. Cart had an ice chest with ice in it on the side. I came around 2:00, and was able to play by myself. Didn't run into traffic until about 8. Play the flamingo course if you can. It's more scenic than the mustang. Worth every penny!

I decided to take one of the last tee times for night golf, and I'm glad I did it. That being said, I wouldn't do it again. No amount of insect repellant is enough to avoid being eaten alive. Playing under the lights is an experience that every golfer should get. The greens were hard as a rock, and the fairways had quite a bit of weeds on them. The course is very short, and playing from the tips I was only able to hit my driver on 17, and I drove the green. They let their employees play after the last group, which was fine until one of them decided to tee off behind me(not from an actual tee box). As I am waggling I hear "look out" and notice him hit his ball right past me into the water! He acted like I did something wrong! He then decided he was playing that hole with me. Luckily he left at the turn. My advice: lots of insect repellant regardless of what time you play, cheap and easy course but okay early in the day, and bring a range finder(the distances they have everywhere are wayyyy wrong).

Played On 03/13/2015Great greens, rest of course could use work.
The greens were in great condition, fairways were a little beat up. Pace of play was slowww! A group of 5 behind us(twosome) was able to keep up because we had to wait so much! Saw the marshal once, and he looked like he was passed out in his cart. Would've been great if the pace was faster, but if you want that don't come during the busy season.

Played On 03/12/2015Great price, good course
Shorter course, but nice. The staff working there are fantastic! Probably the nicest most helpful course staff I've ever experienced. The starter wrote out notes and distances for quite a few holes when he found out it was my first time playing the course. The women working in the pro shop are awesome! Greens and fairways were in great condition. The only two things that irked me were: 1. how soft the greens were on a couple of the par 3's(my ball was completely embedded) 2. A little bit of a weed problem in a few places.
