The Sanctuary is Sanibel's private member-owned Arthur Hills golf club on Wulfert Road, next to J.N. 'Ding' Darling National Wildlife Refuge — the island's flagship named HOA.
Official Sanctuary pages place the member-owned club at 2801 Wulfert Road, Sanibel, FL 33957 (239-472-6445). The golf course opened in 1992 (Arthur Hills, with Spencer Holt associated on some architecture records); Hills has called it his 'island masterpiece.' The club was established in 1993 and became a private equity club in November 1999. It borders J.N. 'Ding' Darling National Wildlife Refuge, is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, and founded The Sanctuary Golf Club Foundation in 2019. Official amenity headings cover dining, social, wellness, and courts. Membership includes golf and social options; living on the surrounding residential streets is not a bundled golf deed. Sanibel building-height and density rules keep product to single-family homes. Hurricane Ian (2022) damaged the island; the club is operating. No marina or deeded beach club on the official pages fetched.
