Lely Resort The Flamingo Island Course

“Flamingo Island is a jewel in the Naples crown. As the only Robert Trent Jones Sr. design in the region, it offers a masterclass in strategic sculpting. The signature 5th hole—an island green surrounded by azure water—is a bucket-list challenge for any golfer visiting Florida.”

The Experience: Strategic Diversity & Tropical Beauty
Lely Resort is a powerhouse of Florida golf, boasting 54 holes of championship play. However, Flamingo Island stands as the resort’s undisputed signature. This Par 72, 7,095-yard layout is a “magical blend” of strategic risk-reward and breathtaking natural aesthetics.

World-Class Pedigree: Experience the only course in the area designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr., characterized by his signature expansive greens and extensive sculpting.

The “Hourglass” Fairways: Precision is rewarded here. White sand bunkers frame perfectly shaped hourglass fairways that lead to large, undulating Bermuda grass greens.

The Signature 5th Hole: A stunning 200-yard Par 3 that is entirely surrounded by water. Connected to the mainland by two small bridges, it requires nerves of steel and absolute accuracy off the tee.

A Top-Tier Ranking: Consistently rated as one of the Top 100 courses in Florida, Flamingo Island offers a “Top 10” experience in the Naples area.

The Lely Advantage: Located in a welcoming community on the southern side of Naples, you are surrounded by 26 lush acres and have access to two other legendary layouts: The Mustang (Lee Trevino) and the private Classics (Gary Player).

A great golf course to play on your next golf holiday to Naples Southern Florida
