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!

Martin (San Francisco, CA) says:
Nice track, but in a typical weird Florida housing community. Obviously, the course was there first and then the development grew around it. Love to play 18 there, and then if there's another 18 like it close by so we could turn 36 easily in one day (or just play it for 36 holes))

Herb (Conover, NC) says:
Houses along many of the fairways - but not tight against the fairways. Very scenic. Good, fair golf challenge.

Of all the courses that we played including disney Southern Dunes was the best, Fantastic Greens an although they speak about the huge numbers of bunkers dont be put of for handicaps of 10 and above, forward tee boxes do take out alot of trouble and good drives also from the forward tees clear a significant number of bunkers, Staff were fantastic and very helpful, club house and eating were excellent

We schedule this course every year,but if you spray it can be a very long day--just ask me !!

David (Holbrook, NY) says:
Nice course, but the only 1 of the 4 i played where virtually every hole was surrounded by houses. Whilst not intrusive, it took away from the overall experience a little.

This is not a 4.5 star rated course as far as we could see or experience!

My favorite golf course in Orlando (so far). Really fast greens, but a very fair test of golf. I would highly recommend this course.

This is the most reasonable golf course in the area and a true joy to play. The staff in the club house and pro shop are very friendly and the course is always in great shape.
