The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club — Attraction in Sanibel

I just recently got married at the Dunes and the venue was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the catering/bartenders were awesome.

I loved how well maintained the grass was, as well as the beautiful landscaping. My now husband, wedding party, and family had a wonderful experience golfing in the days leading up.

I was less than impressed with the wedding planning side of the Dunes. People were nice, but not very outgoing, did not have hardly any straight forward answers to my questions, and had a hard time communicating in general. My family, husband, and wedding party became very frustrated they were having to "run the show" when their job was to be in the physical wedding and enjoy the night. Not make choices and announcements for the entire wedding. Thank goodness for DJ Robert from New Beginnings for stepping in to help guide us through how the Dunes should run a wedding.

As this is mine (and most) people first time coming up with wedding plans, and being from out of state, it made things hard to plan ahead. Packing, decor ordering/shipping, any flowers, or other details. Minimal responses were given. I eventually gave up and figured "oh well". Thank god the golf course itself being well maintained.

Additionally! I was beyond upset about the ceremony. I the Bride was placed directly in the sun. Between the sun and the reflection off the water, I could not see anything. Could hardly look at my husband with 2 eyeballs and I was upset. My eyes are shut, squinted, or 1/2 open in all my ceremony photos 😔. Not how I wanted to remember the beautiful moment. The background was amazing, but I would have chosen a diffeeent time than the 5:30 time recommended to me from this yet again, horribly unhelpful "wedding planner". I think I'd plan a better wedding on my own and I hadn't even visited...

We had an amazing day playing golf at The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club! The course is beautifully maintained, offering a perfect mix of challenge and enjoyment for golfers of all skill levels. The scenic views of the surrounding nature and well-manicured fairways truly added to the experience. Each hole presented unique features, making the game engaging and exciting.

The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, ensuring we had everything we needed from start to finish. From the pro shop to the course marshals, everyone was attentive and professional. The pace of play was just right, allowing us to enjoy our round without feeling rushed or delayed.

The facilities at The Dunes are top-notch. The clubhouse is elegant and comfortable, providing a great spot to relax before and after our game. The food and beverages were excellent, offering a variety of delicious options to choose from. Additionally, the practice areas were superb, allowing us to warm up properly before hitting the course.

We were also impressed by the tennis facilities, even though we didn't play this time. They looked fantastic, and we are considering coming back to try them out.

Overall, The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't wait to come back and play again. Highly recommend The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club for anyone looking for a fantastic...

I used my pga golf pass, but would not pay the normal rate ever for this course - I had the pleasure of playing this course for the first time today, and overall, it was a great experience. The starter was fantastic—really accommodating and friendly. Even though our tee time was set for 7:30, he allowed us to start right away, which was a nice touch. It meant we didn’t have to worry about being paired with other groups, which was perfect since my friend and I play at a fast pace. Shout out to the skinny guy with glasses—wish I caught his name!

Chris, the golf pro, was also wonderful. He was not only helpful but made for some great conversation.

Regarding the course itself, it's clear they're working hard on improvements. While the fairways were in good shape, a few of the greens were a bit rough. Some were still in the healing process, and others had a few rough patches. However, I appreciate the effort the team is putting into getting them back to top form.

This is a cool little course that really lets you connect with nature. The greens are quite challenging—if your shot has any backspin, be prepared for it to roll right off! And be ready for a lot of water hazards. When I say a lot, I mean a lot.

Overall, I loved the pace of play and the welcoming staff. It’s a course with a unique charm, and I’m looking forward to seeing how it improves...
