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!

The greens were unusually fast. Appeared as they were preparing for another event. All the greens were fast---- not one here and another there.

Chuck (Cranston, RI) says:
This was the best playing conditions of the five I played while on vacation. I would try to send every golfer to this course as they presented the conditions a pga tour event would expect. Greens were double cut and rolled and putted as fast as anyone would ever want. I would quess they were a 12. I could go on for ever about this course but the $92 surcharge felt worthwhile when you were done playing and reflected on your experience at this course. I will play again next year.

Always in great shape. The course is very playable as most of the sand traps don't come into play.

Steve (Lexington, KY) says:
THEY NEED A COUPLE OF MORE BUNKERS AROUND THE GREENS TO MAKE IT LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT. VERY GOOD COURSE.
Commented on 02/08/2011
Frank (Towson, MD) says:
Probably the fastest greens I have ever played on. A generous amount of bunkers. You have to play this course more than once to get a feel for it.

David (Rochester, NY) says:
GREAT golf experience. The course was a ton of fun to play and very challenging. All 12 of our guys loved it and we will most definitely return here next year. The greens were about the best we played all week and many of the holes were really nice to stand on the tee and look at......a real keeper!

Frank (Sodus Point, NY) says:
Our third trip to Southern Dunes and the first time we had good weather. A much better experience than in the past. A number of us got in extra play (up to 18 holes extra) and when the wind is kind, it's a nice course to play.
