Greenlinks is a little known gem of a golf resort. It is right next to the Lely Golf and Country Club and it is perfect for golfing couples, families and small groups.
Lely is a sprawling golf and residential development about 10 miles southwest of historic Naples on state highway 41. Lely includes the private Classics Golf Club and the Lely Golf and Country Club. Clean and smartly laid out, the entire Lely development is almost a town unto itself.
The 7th Hole on Naples
Beach Hotel & Golf Club's
Terrific Course
Greenlinks is a hotel condominium complex of 200 condominium suites of one, two and three bedrooms. The suites include a fully appointed kitchen with microwave, living room, dining area, two cable televisions, washer/dryer, iron and ironing board, private baths including hairdryer, and a private screened balcony. Most suites overlook the golf club's Flamingo course.
The AAA 3-Diamond resort also has a fitness room, tennis courts, meeting space, and a heated outdoor pool and Jacuzzi. Furthermore, the resort lies within easy distance of the Publix supermarket, boutique galleries, a pharmacy, and restaurants. Fishing, chartered tours, and other entertainments are also nearby.
Greenlinks is designed for vacationers who can't get enough of golf. At registration, you receive your room key in a small folder and on the back it reads, "Golf. Golf. Eat. Golf. Dream about golf. Golf." The golf club is literally a chip shot from your room. Reserving your tee times through the resort offers substantial discounts when you play the golf club's two courses, Flamingo and Mustang. Resort guests can use the driving range all day during the day of play at no extra charge.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Flamingo is one of Naples' older courses and it is outstanding. It features terrific par 3's including the island 213-yard 5th hole. Equally good is the 204-yard 11th whose green is bordered on two sides by water. A consistently interesting mix of short and long holes, straight holes and doglegs, makes a round on Flamingo one of the most enjoyable you will have in Naples.
Designed by Lee Trevino, Mustang is considered slightly easier than Flamingo with its very wide fairways and large, modestly guarded greens. There is plenty of water on this course, and if you aren't familiar with the target lines, your ball will easily get wet. Even so, Mustang is designed for the more casual golfer.
