The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club

Overview: The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club on Sanibel Island is an 18-hole course inside a wildlife preserve. The current operator describes tropical links characteristics, challenging greens and a course open to non-members as well as members and resort guests. Mark McCumber is identified as the course designer in local coverage of the club’s renovation, while no current par or yardage is assigned here.

History: The Sanibel course’s recent history includes a major renovation and a public reopening celebrated by the Sanibel and Captiva Islands Chamber of Commerce. The reviewed sources do not establish the original opening year, so the profile avoids confusing the renovation date with the course’s beginning.

Did You Know? The Dunes’ relationship with the Audubon Society is part of its setting. The operator places the 18-hole course within a wildlife preserve, making the island environment a documented part of the golf experience.
