SOUTHERN DUNES GOLF CLUB

HAINES CITY, FL

A truly unique layout, this award-winning course has been ranked among the "Top 100 Courses in America" by Golfweek and awarded 4 1/2 stars by Golf Digest. Steve Smyers' design features imaginative bunkering and large sandy scrub areas that line dramatically rolling fairways. Unusual for Central Florida, the course has elevation changes of up to 100 feet and a series of enormous dunes that give it even more character. Best of all, the Tifdwarf Bermuda greens are all large, true and fast. This gem is consistently found in tournament-playing conditions. Located just south of I-4 on Hwy. 27, an easy 20 minutes from the US192/ Kissimmee area.
Groups of 12 or more players: $5 discount per player Monday thru Thursday effective 1/01/09 - 05/31/09


Complimentary range balls included

Golfer Comments

11/10/2008 - The highlight of the trip. Great course design. The only course that was totally green the first week in November. They apparently start their overseeding a little earlier than other courses. Very reasonable replay rates. Would definitely include this course on any future trip to Orlando. Posted by Norbert (Vulcan, MI)

11/10/2008 - Played here 5 years ago and still looks great. Bunkers in great shape which is good considering there are a bunch of them. Back nine is way better than the front. GPS is a little cheap, but no big deal. Grounds crew needs to start earlier though. We were in front of them all morning (no tee markers; hairy boxes, mowers around us, etc). Posted by Steve (Sugar Grove, IL)

10/06/2008 - This is on the same par as Grand Cypress, which is our favorite. Posted by Anderson (Jupiter, FL)

09/01/2008 - We didn't use the practice facilities but I'm sure they're as wonderful as the rest. The only reason I gave the pro shop a 4 is it's size. The staff from top to bottom were incredible. As with most Florida golf courses summer maintenance is a must and that would be the only reason I gave the course condition a 4. We will difinitely return! The course was interesting, fun and playable. What a treat! Posted by Debbie (Port Charlotte, FL)

05/16/2008 - A lovely course and again excellent staff starters, pro shop and clubhouse. A great day Posted by Stuart (Lasswade, )

05/05/2008 - Excellent course. Very forgiving. Will play again. Posted by Keith (Saint Louis, MO)

05/02/2008 - Excellent. Make sure your play this course. Well worth it. Staff very helpful. Greens fast and fairways great. We play again. Posted by Keith (Saint Louis, MO)

05/02/2008 - Excellent course. Staff very nice and helpful. Many of the bunkers don't come into play. Fast greens and great fairways. Would play this course again. Posted by Keith (Saint Louis, MO)

04/28/2008 - Very nice course. Posted by Marshall (London, ON)

04/28/2008 - Loved the course - even superior to Panther Lake Posted by Bradley (Norland, ON)
