The golf

The course

The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club is an 18-hole, par-70 golf course on Sanibel Island nestled inside an Audubon Society-sanctioned wildlife preserve. The course is attributed to architect Mark McCumber (1995 redesign; the club dates to the early 1970s) and is open to the public, with guests of the Inns of Sanibel receiving a resort membership during their stay. In addition to golf, the club offers tennis and a restaurant/clubhouse. The course note on opening/redesign year and yardage varies across sources, so those details were not fully confirmed.
