The Links of Naples — Local services in Lely

This Course is the most disorganized golf course in Florida.

The Good: Nice little course. Played 4 games this month. Met some great people on the course. Greens are good. Well kept. The carts are well maintained.

The Bad: Management. I book my golf online. Their site is linked to chronogolf. I get a tee time. I get reminders from chronogolf. Today, my tee off time was mid afternoon. I saw my name on the time sheet. I saw other golfers on the time sheet teamed up with me. Went inside to pay the cashier. I was 25 minutes early.

I was talking to the starter about my tee off and a man comes out to talk to him also. He didn’t know who I was. He tells the starter to take my name off that tee sheet. I turned around to him and said “that’s my name you taking off the sheet.” The man said to me “They are a foursome”. I told him that this happened not once, but twice, to me in the last 4 games.

Needless to say that I was really upset that they cancelled my tee time out of the blue, twice!

He walked away.

The starter was trying hard to find a group with only 3 golfers or less. There was nothing there.

The starter left and came back and told me to go out as a single. Again!

I told him no. I was going to get my money back.

I went back in the pro shop. Asked him to give my money back. Told him how is this possible as my name is on the list? He said that it was an error, it never happens. I told him “The same “error” twice in a week?” He walked away and ask the lady to refund me back my money.

We LOVE the Links of Naples. We're residents of Verona Walk, (about 5 minutes away), and our family plays golf at the Links at least once a week. The friendly service is the #1 reason we keep going back. Henry, Donnie, Trish, and Bill have always treated us with kindness and respect. My wife and son are new to the game and the staff has always been patient and helpful -- offering tips and encouragement. We've shown up 5 minutes before closing and they've run out to the cart barn to pull out a cart for us when we wanted to get 9 holes in at the last minute -- and we were the only ones on the course. One time a lightning storm interrupted our game and Henry drove out on a cart and warned each and everyone on the course + gave us a rain check for a full round of golf; another time my wife bought a glove and it ripped after one use -- they graciously replaced it free of charge. One time we were considering the purchase of a set of used clubs that were consigned there -- and they gave us a bucket of balls so we could try the clubs out on the range before making a decision. They've always been generous and professional and we are grateful. The course itself will never be featured on "The Golf Channel" -- but the conditions are pretty good, the price is right and it's FUN to play. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves the...

I only gave a one because there is not a lower rating. I had a 1:10 tee time and there where 12 carts ahead of me at that time. Course ranger told me there was a party of 14 women in a league playing ahead of the 12 parties ahead of my party of 2 and we just had to wait. Every hole was a wait behind at least six other parties. After 10 holes and 4 hours later we left totally discussed. Will NEVER go back oh and the guy in the pro shop was an a##. Unless you really want a day from he\...
