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!

Ed (Cordova, TN) says:
Interesting layout, boasts in the range of 180 bunkers, but at least 25% never come into play. Sort of a thinking mans course in terms of club selection.
Commented on 01/27/2010
Richard (Middlebury, VT) says:
The best course I played. Green very good, design excellent, challenging. Loved everything about it. Ps, regarding the clubhouse: they're all pretentiously magnificent, reminding of Victorian men's clubs. Brown wood, lush carpets, deep seated club chairs. I felt like a member of the House of Lords. It's about the course not the club house. The staff at each course were polite, some were fun to chat with.

Robert (Markham, ON) says:
Great courses, there are 183 bunkers but I would say only 50% are actually in play, some of them are behind the tees your playing. But the course was in good shape and some great holes...the first par 3 is a monster.
