Frequently Asked Questions

Which course should I play first at Lely Resort - the Mustang or the Flamingo?

You really can't go wrong, but we recommend starting with the Mustang if you prefer a more traditional, tree-lined Florida layout. The Flamingo offers a different challenge, with more water and a links-style feel that might surprise you. Play both if you have the time; they're distinct experiences.

When is the best time of year to play Lely Resort's courses?

For ideal conditions, aim for late fall through early spring, typically November to April. You'll enjoy cooler temperatures and lower humidity, making those 36-hole days much more pleasant. Just be aware that this is peak season, so book your tee times well in advance.

How challenging are the courses at Lely Resort for a mid-handicapper?

Both courses are fair but offer a good test. The Mustang demands accuracy off the tee to navigate its tighter fairways, while the Flamingo's open layout can be deceptive with its strategic bunkering and water hazards. You'll find plenty of tee box options to match your skill level, ensuring an enjoyable round.

What's a unique feature or "must-do" experience at Lely Resort?

Beyond the fantastic golf, make sure to spend some time at the Players Club & Spa. It's a great spot to unwind after your round, offering pools, tennis, and dining options. We particularly love grabbing a drink at the Sam Snead's Oak Grill & Tavern right on site - perfect for reliving your best shots.

Is Lely Resort a good value compared to other Naples-area courses?

We think so, especially considering you get two championship-level courses designed by legends like Lee Trevino and Robert Trent Jones Sr. While not a budget option, the quality of the conditioning and the overall experience, including the practice facilities, makes it a worthwhile splurge. Look for twilight rates in the off-season for even better value.
