MAJESTIC GOLF CLUB (239-369-8216)
Florida Golf Course Review 10/15/05
The Majestic Golf Club is a beautiful championship design in Lehigh Acres, and is the premier layout in the triad
of courses in the immediate area owned and operated by Greentree (the other two are MirrorLakes and Admiral
Lehigh). This property includes a large clubhouse with Divots Bar & Grill (lunch menu and full bar), the Crown
Banquet Hall, and a pro shop. Practice facilities include a grass/mat tee driving range, short game area with sand bunker, plus putting green.
Four sets of tees play to distances and slope measuring 6784 yards/131/slope, 6429 yards/124 slope, 5535
yards/116 slope and 4766 yards with a slope of 109 from the forward sets. On course 100, 150 and 200 yard
blocks and stakes indicate the yardages at 100, 150 and 200 yards, and color coded flags provide info on front,
middle and back hole locations on the medium sized and mildly undulating putting surfaces.
There is generally ample room for recovery greenside, though golfers will have to navigate around the 40 or so
sand bunkers situated near the green complexes or along the tree lined fairways. The bunkering is strategic, but
not overstated. Water is the main hazard at the Majestic however, as it comes into play in some shape or form on all 18 holes!
The key to scoring well here is to know where these hazards are. The fairways are quite ample, but the ponds
and lakes can squeeze into the playing surfaces, creating a few surprises for those who are not careful with their
shot placement. The abundance of water creates an idyllic setting for native wildlife - which is plentiful throughout the acreage, which winds trough a residential community.
Together with Admiral Lehigh and MirrorLakes, the Majestic provides a good value golf experience for the Fort
Myers area...players will not find luxurious clubhouses and upscale amenities - but they will encounter some
interesting golf courses at value rates! For more info on the Majestic, visit our page for the course with direct link to their website by clicking here.
