Discover Lely: Golf Courses and Hotels

If you want golf to shape your stay, Lely offers a clear starting point for comparison: Lely Resort is home to the Mustang and Flamingo Island golf courses. Both are par 72, but they differ in total length and specific course features. This lets you compare the courses using the same basic information while also clarifying which details matter for planning your trip.

Compare Golf Courses at Lely Resort

The Mustang course at Lely Resort is a par-72 golf course measuring 7,230 yards. Flamingo Island at Lely Resort is also par 72, measures 7,095 yards, and is open to the public. The difference between the stated total lengths is 135 yards: according to these figures, Mustang is longer. The shared par rating allows a direct comparison of this measure, while the lengths describe two different measurements. Length alone does not indicate the level of difficulty or the duration of a round. You can therefore use the total lengths as a concrete point of comparison when narrowing down your options.

Distinctive Course Features

Flamingo Island was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. One notable feature is the fifth hole: this 200-yard par 3 has a fairway completely surrounded by water. Together with the course’s total length, this gives you two different reference points: one figure for the entire course and one specific feature of an individual hole. If you pay attention to named hole features when choosing a course, the fifth hole offers another point of comparison alongside total length.

The Mustang course features twelve sparkling lakes. This adds a different course feature to its stated length. Compared with Flamingo Island, the courses differ not only in total length: lakes are noted as a feature of Mustang, while Flamingo Island has a specific hole feature in the form of the fifth hole’s water-surrounded fairway.

A Walking Trail North of Lely

Serenity Walk Park is located north of Lely. The park has a one-mile walking trail. This is another way to include time outdoors in your trip plans besides visiting the golf courses. As trail conditions and permitted uses can change, check both before your visit. That way, you can consider the trail as a separate activity, while the golf courses offer another set of options based on their respective lengths and features.

Search for Hotels in Lely

When searching for a hotel in Lely, you can first decide whether the golf courses will be the main focus of your stay or whether you also want to include the walking trail in your plans. Use Lely as your search destination, then compare specific hotel offers by location, price, amenities, and availability. Which of these factors matters to you depends on how you want to spend your time in Lely.
