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!

My favorite course in Florida, always a must play for me when I'm there. Top notch in all regards.

Norbert (Vulcan, MI) says:
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.

Steve (Sugar Grove, IL) says:
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).

Anderson (Jupiter, FL) says:
This is on the same par as Grand Cypress, which is our favorite.

Debbie (Port Charlotte, FL) says:
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!
