Description
Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club, designed by Steve Smyers and built in 1993, is recognised as one of the best public golf courses in the Orlando area and was ranked 6th in Golf Digest's 'Best Courses in the State' and ranked as one of the 'Top 10 Courses built in America 1987-1997' by Links Magazine.

The course was built on the site of an orange grove that was killed by frost in the mid-1980's. The soil is largely sand based which allowed the designer to easily move earth to create exactly the run of fairways and hazards which he originally envisaged.

As a consequence Southern Dunes has a sculpted look with large mounds, ridges and hollows plus over 180 bunkers (there are 10 surrounding the green at the Par 3 eleventh!)

The course is golf buggy only (no walking) and visitors are always welcome (contact club to make arrangements).

Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club

Southern Dunes provides test to all levels of golfers. It has 4 tee options to suit your level of play, from 5633 yds through to a long 7227 yds. It's fairways tempt you to hit long but are lined with bunkers to catch and punish an offline drive. The greens are large, undulating and fast. Unusually for a Florida course there are plenty of elevation changes. Southern Dunes is consistently rated in the top 10 courses in Florida and top 100 in the USA. If you're in Florida don't miss it. I'm already planning another visit.
