stay off my lawn you whipper snapper
Great layout and the staff takes great care of the course, but it appears not many players on the south side have ever heard the saying "leave the course in better condition than you found it" something I was told when I was first learning....... Also the gentleman at the pro shop had me feeling that my buying a shirt and asking the clubs price of various balls was a bit of an annoyance and that I best be moving on. I also I found the price of golf gear to be a bit pricey compared to other clubs on the south side. I liked the greens, I will be back and would recommend playing here at golfnow pricing of course!

Cold Day and SNOW!
The course was cartpath only and with 21 mph winds, 34 F and to add to this snowing sideways in middle of April... I still had a great time.. I was the only person playing, imagine that?? Course was in great shape considering everything else..
Nice course
I just picked up the game last year, and this is one of my favorite courses to play.
Unexpectedly good
I was leary about playing here because I don't usually enjoy housing addition courses (homes too close, too many members cause over crowding, etc.). This was the exception. Holes are spread out nicely, hazards are well placed, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. I will go back.
Playing in December
I played a round of golf in Indiana on December 1st!!!!
Hey Southern Dunes is one of my favorite courses to play. It is challenging but if you get hot you can go low on this course. I see this course as two separate 9's. You have to survive the front 9 and then feast on the back 9. Designed by one of the all time greats Gary Player. Go try it, you will like it!
I would definitly play thid course again.
The course tests your shot accuracy. Even though it has few trees, it penalizes poor shots very well. I would suggest you take plenty of extra balls. The rough does a good job of hiding them and there is plenty of water to avoid.
Needs major attention
I played this course in 2005 and I believe in 2008. The course was beautiful, obviously still fairly new back then. This outing was the opposite. I don't know if last years summer really is to blame for all the damage on the course, but I doubt it. It had rained quite a bit the night before and there is no way it shouldn't have been cart path only. But knowing better I stayed off. However you could see where other carts were just tearing up the fairways. Tee boxes were destroyed and many had weeds growing on them. Almost every green had large bare spots. For the price, it's simply not worth it. Even cheap rates off of Golf Now don't detract from what this course looks like. Hopefully something will change. I won't go back for some time.
Looks Nice
The club house was pretty sweet, stocked with Nike gear and a indoor putting surface. Then you get to the tee boxes and they're junk and the greens could use some TLC. Other then that not bad.
NIce course with lots of water.
Played from the tips and course was slightly challanging. Course does have lots of water but only forced to carry water on a few holes. The fairways were well maintained and some greens were a little spotty and needed help. Overall nice cource for the money.
Staff was friendly and were available to answer all questions.
Very good experience overall.
One of our favorite courses!
Though it's only a par 70 and isn't terribly long, Southern Dunes presents a fun challenge for golfers of all abilities. The pace of play was a bit slow when we played due to a scramble-style golf outing, but the course was in decent shape. Some of the tee boxes had been aerated recently. Better yardage markings and/or GPS units in the carts would be helpful.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE?!?!?!
This used to be one of my favorite courses to play but something has happened in the last year. I can excuse the tee boxes being worked on but the fairways need a lot of work and the greens were in AWFUL shape. There were brown patches of dead grass on everysingle green. to put it in perspective the greens at BLUFF CREEK GOLF COURSE are in better shape. If i had paid full price for this round i would be a lot more upset instead I don't think I will play there again for a couple of months.
maintanence,,,fail
played here nov last year, was in better overall shape...Came with friends this trip all were not pleased....several fairways littered with divots.....greens ball marks...it will be a while for us...sorrry still enjoy the venue
Good links style course with a nice layout
The course was in decent shape but nothing spectacular. I liked the layout and a lot of the holes. If the fairways were in better condition it might be worthy of 5 stars but not until the fairways are filled in. I would play here again.
Good condition, fun to play, rewards good shots.
Course is very well kept this year. Good condition. Would definitely play again.
Still needs a little work
Ive played Southern Dunes a few times and the course has always had its inconsistencies from hole to hole. Some holes will be heavily watered and extremely soft and others will be hard, dry, and fast. Some greens are well maintained and others will be partially fried. All in all its not a bad course to play has some degree of difficulty scattered throughout the course but still could use a little work overall.
Greens are only real defense, to many par 3's for my taste.
Over all not bad, front nine greens were hard and not easy to hold even with solid struck shots, almost like they hadn't been watered for a couple days, back nine was better. Enjoyed the day decent little course. Think it could be a real challenge from the tips. Only real pet peeve was the extra par threes that are not typical, Par 70. They had the room to make some of the par threes par fours and it would be a lot more enjoyable. Just a personal thing of mine.
Great experience
Without GolfNow, we certainly would not have chosen Southern Dunes. However, because of the great deal, we did choose Southern Dunes, and now we plan to return to the course several times in the future. The double-sloping greens, water, and sand bunkers made it a beautiful and challenging experience.
Very nice fairways
Friendly staff, well maintained course. Would like to see marshal come out every once in awhile to advise slower groups to play at quicker pace.
