The Course
About Lely Resort — Flamingo Island Course
The Flamingo Island Course is Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s contribution to Lely Resort's 54-hole Naples campus - a 7,171-yard par-72 design threaded through South Florida marshland, with water defining the challenge on the majority of holes. Jones's trademark bold bunkering and elevated greens appear throughout, making this the most classically demanding of the Lely public-access courses. The course is genuinely long at full stretch and plays at the mercy of Southwest Florida's afternoon breeze.
History
Lely Resort — Flamingo Island Course — History
Jones designed Flamingo Island with Roger Rulewich at the end of the 1980s as the first of Lely Resort's courses.

It is the more formal of Lely's two public courses, grassed in 419 Bermuda to Champion ultradwarf greens.
