Searches for public golf in Naples often end at private clubs. Lely Resort is different in one respect: two of its three courses take public play. This post reports what the club’s own pages say (retrieved October 2026). Our Lely Resort course page has the map.
The club’s golf page says it “proudly presents public access to the Flamingo Island and Mustang courses.” The third course, the Classics, is described as “exclusive private.” All three are listed as 18-hole, par-72 courses, 54 holes in total.
The Flamingo Island page lists a par 72 course of 7,095 yards designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., which “opened to the public in 1989.” It names the par 3, 200-yard fifth hole as the signature hole, surrounded by water and reached over two small bridges.
The golf page describes the Mustang as designed by Lee Trevino, with “gently rolling fairways” and 7,230 yards. The club says the course is open to public play and that you do not need to be a member.
Lely Resort Golf & Country Club is at 8004 Lely Resort Blvd., Naples, FL 34113. The listed phone is (239) 793-2600.
The home page links a “PUBLIC TEE TIMES” button and separate booking buttons for the Mustang and the Flamingo, which go to an online tee time system.
None of the three pages gives green fees, twilight prices, a walking policy, a cart policy or a booking window. We are not going to quote a price we did not fetch. Rates are shown inside the booking system, so check there for your date. Compare with the posted rate cards at Arrowhead and Eagle Lakes, and see the SWFL public courses list.
