About this course
The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club is a semi-private 18-hole championship course located on Sanibel Island, Florida. Designed by 10-time PGA Tour winner Mark McCumber and established in 1973, the course is nestled within a lush wildlife preserve sanctioned by the Audubon Cooperative Society. The layout is a tropical links-style course that measures 5,606 yards from the back tees, prioritizing accuracy over distance due to the abundance of water hazards on nearly every hole. After suffering significant damage from Hurricane Ian in 2022, the course underwent extensive restoration, including the installation of new Paspalum fairways, and fully reopened in late 2023. The facility features a unique aqua driving range and a clubhouse offering island-style dining. While the course is currently undergoing a scheduled resurfacing project in late 2025 to maintain its high standards, it remains a premier destination for both public players and members, offering a distinct island golfing experience characterized by frequent wildlife sightings and scenic vistas.

Saltleaf Golf Preserve is an 18-hole daily-fee course in Bonita Springs, Florida, built on the site of the former Raptor Bay Golf Club next to Estero Bay, Florida's first aquatic preserve, and bordering a 144-acre uplands preserve. The course was designed by Raymond Floyd and is managed by Troon. The layout measures 7,075 yards at par 72 across 150 acres, with naturally exposed sandy areas rather than formal bunkers, minimally altered terrain, and drought-tolerant Tif-Eagle and Bimini Bermuda grasses. A driveable par-4 second hole is a notable feature. A separate 9-hole par-3 short course, The Leaf, sits adjacent to the main course. Saltleaf is open to public tee times in addition to nearby residential and hotel guests.
Fort Myers Country Club
Fort Myers, FL · 15 mi away
Fort Myers Country Club, known locally as The Fort, is a public course owned by the City of Fort Myers along the palm-lined McGregor Boulevard. Designed by Donald Ross and built beginning in December 1916, the course opened in December 1917 as the Fort Myers Golf and Yacht Club, making it one of the oldest golf courses on Florida's west coast. Construction was carried out largely by hand and mule teams under Ross associate James B. McGovern. In the 1920s the club counted Thomas Edison and Henry Ford among its early members and neighbors, and its clubhouse restaurant is named for Edison. The course underwent a significant renovation in 2014 intended to preserve Ross's original character while modernizing conditions. Walking is permitted at any time, and the course today offers six sets of tees ranging from roughly 4,300 to 6,600 yards, continuing to operate as a public, city-run facility with a full pro shop and lesson program.
