Close to Naples and Marco Island, three championship golf courses and lush natural surroundings had made Lely Resort Golf and Country Club one of the most sought after vacation destinations in Florida.  Lely Resort has some of Florida’s greatest golf, with fairways and greens that offer infinite challenge.   One of the game’s most prolific and innovative golf course architects, Robert Trent Jones, Sr. designed Flamingo Island to emphasize the hallmarks of his architectural style.  The course is characterized by extensive sculpting and shaping of the land. He implemented strategic deployment of water as a playing hazard and a scenic complement to the course as well as the use of multiple teeing areas with large, contoured greens. This combination of design elements yields 18 holes of pure Robert Trent Jones, Sr. magic.
