Any THPers around the Ft Myers area wanna play some golf over the next two weeks? The fam and I drove down from MN before the “shelter in place” went into effect for some warmth. I brought the clubs, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper so I’m prepared!

I’m down here a few times each year and I’ve played Raptor Bay, Old Corkscrew, Esplanade, and River Hall. Looking for other recommendations within a reasonable distance that aren’t stupid expensive. Any suggestions?
 
I’d love to but I’m back in Minnesota after being in Naples last week. I played Old Corkscrew last Thursday and had a blast. Enjoy!!

A little west of River Hall is a place called Verandah. My parents used to live in there, and they've got two courses. A Bob Cupp course and Nicklaus-Nicklaus Jr course. Water on probably 35 of the 36 holes. They were in incredible condition every time I played there.
 
Cripes!!! I loved Old Corkscrew and I might go back this trip. I want to play the Tiburón courses, but they’re a bit too steep for my wallet.

Tiburon is always in absolute PURE shape. Their courses are awesome. But I agree, very expensive to play often. Maybe treat yourself to one round there!

I played the Old Corkscrew this Winter for the first time and absolutely loved it. I really like how you don't have to pull driver on every tee and can be very strategic on playing smart off the tee. Greens were ehhh, kinda sandy. But I love that course overall.
 
I’m playing Old Corkscrew with my golf instructor tomorrow. If I make it back across the state again, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Check out Lely Resort, nice setup with three courses.
