Loved!

As I approached the first tee, someone asked me if I had ever played here before…. I said no, but was excited to play. They said, well, there’s more water on this course than land so hit ‘em straight and play smart! Needless to say, I was happy I brought extra golf balls, knowing many would find the drink! However, it was the complete opposite of what I thought… great lay out, conditions and I only lost 2 balls. Had my best round, ever… with a 20+ handicap, I was expecting to shoot in the low 90’s. I shot a 76! 100% legit! I was hitting drives and approach shots like I’ve never hit them before! So much fun and can’t wait to play again!

Short, sporty

Warren is the friendliest starter we've met in SWFL. Very knowledgeable able the course. We played 18 on a Sunday morning in under 3 hours! A foursome was kind enough to let us play through on 14.

Water? what water?

Dunes was a great outing! Water hazards on most holes if you have a controlled shot no problem, there were some risk reward shots but not worth the splash! Friendly staff and good selection of treats as well as libations. Will definitely play this one again!

Nice course

Not many people playing golf the day I played so pace of play wasn’t an issue. Course isn’t long however there is plenty of water in play and punishing bermuda rough. Greens are small but roll well. I enjoyed the course. Staff was friendly and helpful

Dunes Golf Course

Loved the course.

Fairways are green and in good shape..

Greens in great shape, and can be challenging with slopes.

The rough is thick Bermuda grass. It is best to keep it in the fairway.

Lots of birds and wildlife.

I will be back.

Water Challenge

This is a challenging water hazard/ sand trap placement course. Not the longest yardage, but more than makes up in difficulty. Great time!! A bit of a rush on early tee times. Need to pair up more 4-somes

Watch out for gators-lol!!

Nice Round

Fairly short course but also fairly tight so hitting shots to specific placements makes it very challenging. Lots of water to contend with but very satisfied with the course overall.

Beautiful course for a great value

This course is beautiful and provides a bit of a challenge with water on every hole on an already narrow course. The electric golf carts are new with GPS and speakers on them and the course as a whole is very well kept. If playing this course be careful of the blackbirds as they will steal anything left in the open (someone we went with said he’s seen them steal watches and keys laying around before). I can attest to them taking items as my buddy opened a brand new pack of Pro-V1 balls on hole 13 and hit one onto the fairway where we proceeded to watch a bird pick it up with its mouth and fly off in the trees with it.

Not a long golf course but definitely challenging!

Bring some extra golf balls if you don’t hit it straight!

Fantastic fairways and greens!
