With more than half of the island designated as a wildlife preserve, golfers are bound to see interesting wildlife on Sanibel’s fairways. The island’s two golf courses feature breathtaking natural scenery and sculptured greens, as well as fine restaurants in their clubhouses. Just over the causeway on the mainland, Fort Myers and Bonita Springs offer avid players even more courses to choose from.
