Lely Resort Golf & Country Club - Flamingo Island Course

Played again after a year hiatus, decided to bite the bullet on the high cost for a slightly less than high end course .
However, course was in great condition & pace of play very good. Glad we chose to play there & probably will return.

One of the best public courses in Naples. Prices are getting steep in season.

Great Course, we are staying in Marco so close by compared to some of the other courses, Our friends own in here and said Flamingo was the more challenging of the 2 courses and she was right.. there were many sand traps ,water on holes, elevated greens, and naarrow fairways on some holes. The par 3's were all tough and had water. We started around 2:30 and got done in 4 hours. The practice facility was nice, had a chipping and putting area, they use mats right now on tHursdays and Sundays, otherwise on grass. Overall a good course, you cannot make tee times until 2 days before, usually they have times in the afternoon from 2:20 on and you should get done in time,.

First time playing Flamingo since the re-sod. Course is in good shape including the greens!
Some around the collar maintenance needs to be done and the bunkers need to settle in. Overall a much better value than before.
Some Lely members think they own the place-LOL
But staff very good.

Course was in excellent condition. The bunkers had new white sand: perfect. A bit on the pricey side, but immaculate fairways and greens. Course is challenging, but on the easy side.

Played as single. Paired with member and son who quit halfway. Fortunately was able to play through 3 groups on back. Last 9 took only 90 minutes, would have been miserable otherwise.

Got behind a slow threesome. We were a foursome and waited a lot.. round was 4:15 but felt longer. The course layout was excellent as were the conditions.
