About Southern Dunes Golf & Country 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. All newly renovated Champion Dwarf BermudaGrass greens were added in September 2010, along with Steve Smyers' design features of 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 (water found on just 2 holes). This gem is consistently found in tournament-playing conditions year-round, always lush and green. Great customer service and attention to detail. Seriously, you won't want to miss playing Southern Dunes, located on Hwy. 27 just south of I-4, an easy 20 minutes from the US192/ Lake Buena Vista/ Kissimmee area.
Complimentary range balls included; now offering group leader comp for 20 or more golfers!

Geoff (Westford, MA) says:
Specatular layout with lots more elevation changes than most Orlando area courses. Trouble was the greens were so fast that with may slanted pin positions it was defensive putting all day. Needed just a little more grass on the greens.

Jim (Coral Springs, FL) says:
Outstanding..............Other than pace of play took 5 hours and 40 minutes to play. In previous years that never happened could have been just a busy day.
