Eagle Dunes Golf Club in Sorrento sprawls across rolling elevation changes that aren't typically found on central Florida courses. The course also claims to have the area's truest putting surfaces. The layout stretches to just over 7,024 yards from the back tees. Long hitters will be pleased about the opportunity to grip it and rip it but ball placement is an important factor. The golf course is punishing even if you're only slightly errant. The vast sand traps seem like you're playing across a desert and the occasional water hazard comes into play as well. The wide, player-friendly fairways help to balance the challenges of the golf course. Since opening in 2003, Eagle Dunes Golf Club has garnered a strong following amongst locals and has earned the distinction of being one of Gold Digest's "Best Places to Play."

Nice Layout

Course was in typical shape for a non-overseeded course in the winter in Fla. Fairway grass was thin, rough was bare and sandy in spots, but you cannot expect a good lie if you hit it in rough. Greens held shots and putted quick and smooth. 1 or 2 greens had sand in bare spots, but it did not come into play. Starter was friendly. Will definitely go back. Price between $30 and $50 ie=s definitely worth playing.

Playable

It would be nice if they spent some money and over seeded the course. Too many bare/thin areas. The layout is decent, it was just on a scale of 1-5, I would give it 2.5 based on conditions.

Course is going DOWNHILL and FAST !

I have played here many times over the last 5 years and this is the worst shape that i have seen it. Weeds galore , terrible tee boxes, many weedy rough greens. $20 a round is all its worth! Are you guys going to put any money back into this once nice course ?

Dunes is Always Solid

Solid conditions, had a lot of rain just before and the greens were soggy. A little sun and some dry air to help. Fairways were solid. Tee boxes avg. Busy so sent us off the back. Dunes is the best of the 3 in area right now. Staff way friendlier than the people at Black Bear in my opinion.

Great layout. Challenging.

A lot of elevations, a lot of valleys, some blind shots, and plenty of sand.

Greens were in pretty decent shape. A lot of bare Fairway areas. It was a fun course to play anyway.

Staff is very friendly. Basic amount of food/snacks. Decent beer selection.

A course in a deep spiral downward

We have played this course every year for the past 8 or 9 seasons. This year was a surprise - the tees were quite bad, the greens were all diseased with no grass or subsurface at all, the fairways were sparse, the bunkers and waste areas were not maintained and overall condition was terrible. We were shocked as we played it last year twice and it was very good.

Meh

Love Eagle Dunes. Used to play here a lot, but have since started going other places and now I remember why.

Our Tee Time was around 1215 1230, and I guess around noon on Mondays, they have a skins game go off. Well, today, this skins game, which I would guess is normally 5 groups or so, brought a bunch of extra people, without tee times. The course then decided that was okay, and to just have everyone pushed back. We didn't tee off until a good bit after 1. I understand that you gotta take care of your larger groups like that, but that was a really tough start to the day. We then played at almost a 5:30 pace which was insanely slow.

I can play slow and be happy, when the condition of the course is good. It was not. There's almost no grass in the fairways, and while it makes you feel like you can hit long drives, it makes iron play tough. The sand was also not in good shape. I know it was been rainy, and in fact, it rained while we were out there, but some of those bunks looked like they had not been looked in months.

I used to love Eagle Dunes, and I pray they come back, but it's borderline unplayable now even without being 30+ minutes behind schedule and slow.

If and when this course gets some playable turf in the fairways, it will definitely be a great place to tee it up. Other than that, it’s a real test trying to hit off bare lies.

The layout of the course was great but seems like the up keep is lacking, the fairways were looking rough. But we had a good time and everyone was supper friendly.

Nice layout

Very nice course, good hills and huge bunkers. Very wide open. Only bad thing I can say is the usual pace of play. Brutally slow. Otherwise very good and will play again.

Conditions are starting to slip

The course is needing some attention all over the course. Greens are ok but tee boxes and fairways need work. The worst course conditions that i have seen in years. Please put some money back into this course before it get too far gone.
