Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club
Haines City, FL • Public
Overview
Southern Dunes grew out of an unfortunate event in 1989, when a 350 acre citrus grove was lost to a severe freeze. Instead of replanting the grove, the group of owners decide to build a golf course on the land. Today, Southern Dunes offers a refreshing design that differs from many typical Florida layouts, where flat fairways are heavily guarded by water. Instead, Southern Dunes plays over rolling terrain with elevation changes of up to 100 feet. Though water is in play on a few holes, tall-lipped bunkers are the primary defense, and many guard the fairways and greens.

“Southern Dunes is a unique brand of Florida golf -- one of the rare courses that doesn't rely on water for it's challenges. The course features only 2-3 holes with water and is more of a rolling, hilly course than some typically flat tracks in the state. Greens were excellent even in the coolest of temps and the course includes a ton of variety. I would recommend all stop by this course if in the Orlando area."

“Incredible conditioning for a public golf course. Really fun and interesting routing and great value. The only negative is that there is a lot of housing on the course, especially the front nine but that is a small negative compared to all the other positives. Highly recommended!"
