Golfing enthusiasts take note! Since 1993, this award-winning facility has captured the hearts of golfers throughout the world. Designed by Steve Smyers, Southern Dunes is a distinctive course that features a dramatic hillside layout, rolling terrain, steep elevation changes and large, fast, undulating greens -- presenting golfers with a challenge unique to Central Florida. The design encourages golfers to use their imagination as the use of the slopes and contours can help maneuver the ball around the massive, high-lipped bunkers. This spectacular design is further enhanced by the high grasses and ornamentals that form the borders for holes that tumble with the terrain. The challenging conditions and impeccable playing surfaces make Southern Dunes a must play when visiting Central Florida. Southern Dunes also features clubhouse amenities, including a full selection of breakfast and lunch menu items, banquet facilities, golf shop and a PGA professional staff for golf instruction.

9/25/2009 - Less than 20 minutes south of Disney. Tons of traps with light brown/tan sand really stood out in contrast to the green fairways and greens. We took advantage of free replays and enjoyed a great day of golf. Course was in very good shape and the greens challenging. Staff was very nice and the lunch special was awesome. This is a definite play if you are in the area. Posted by Jim (Oreland, PA)
8/10/2009 - Nice course,good condition,good level of difficulty for all handicaps. Would play again especially at the Tee Times USA price. Posted by Chris.
7/30/2009 - We had picked another course, but Renee had informed us that the course was doing its aeration that week. She suggested Southern Dunes to us and WOW. Outstanding course, great people, and plenty of sand traps. Now that is okay because it makes you select the correct shot. Area was nice on the course, houses, but the houses didn't bother us. Not what Mystic Dunes or Orange County are, but for a nice relaxing round, this course is on our list for next time. Posted by Ed Loosemore (Houston, TX)

5/8/2009 - Great courses. Truly enjoy playing this gem every year. Staff is very helpful and welcoming. Posted by Federico
4/20/2009 - Best course we played. Should have played 36. Why didn't we? Will consider staying and playing on this course next time as there are very nice homes for rent on course via Florida Spirit. Houses don't really come into play much so don't let that deter you. If you've not played Southern Dunes, I would absolutely put it on your list. Almost everyone I've spoken to says the same things about this course. Best value for money and a great replay deal. So why didn't we play 36? Idiots. Posted by Brian (Ancaster, ON CANADA)

1/29/2009 - Nothing good to say. Posted by Phil (Markham, ON)

12/1/2008 - Nice track. This is a must in your golf package. Posted by Allan (Gatineau, Canada).
11/28/2008 - Most enjoyable course I played while in the Orlando area. Entire staff was courteous. Played with a group of Canadians who helped make the round fun. Played 35 holes as pace of play was excellent. Highly recommend this course. Posted by Bill (Solon, IA).
11/28/2008 - They are absolutely correct when they say they have more sand traps and bunkers than any course in Florida. If you can stay clear of the sand traps and bunkers you will have a low scoring round, however, I was not so lucky. I was disappointed that I had not planned my schedule well enough for a second round. I will be back to Florida in 1-09 and do plan to play this course again. Posted by Edward.
11/28/2008 - Beautiful layout and excellent conditioning with some elevation changes to add to the challenge. Greens were large and very undulating. Practice on the putting green is recommended! Played 36 holes between 9am and 4:30 pm. Posted by Steve (Hamilton, Canada).
11/28/2008 - Never miss playing this fine track when in the Orlando area. Always in tip top condition and a fair test of golf and your sand play. Highly recommend this great course. Posted by Michael (Clifton Park, NY).
11/20/2008 - Overrated. Greens were very slow. Course layout was just a course routed through a bunch of houses. Posted by John (Indianapolis, IN).

5/17/2008 - Beautiful. Staff was great. Challenging but fair. Stay straight, no need for a big stick. 180+ bunkers. Will go back. Posted by Tim (Geoergetown, Canada).
5/13/2008 - Sand, sand, sand and more sand. A great course, pro shop staff was a little snobby towards us and I am not sure if it was because we were a group of 16. The course was in great shape and a nice layout inbetween all the houses. Overall a great experience. Posted by Frank (North Attleboro, MA).
5/11/2008 - We loved the course. It was the second year we played and look forward to playing it again next year. The course is a challange and as always in great shape. Posted by Robert (Port St Lucie, FL).
5/3/2008 - Unquestionably, the highlight of the weekend. The fact that we were able to play it a second time for half the price made it even more incredible. The greens were as true as any I've ever been on. Without a doubt one to come back to. Posted by Gerald (Brooklyn Park, MN).
4/25/2008 - Great course and staff. Looking forward to playing it again next year. Posted by Brian (Bellingham, MA).
