An absolute gem

Had a great tims playing one of the best courses in Arizona. Greens were a little dry, but conditions as a whole were outstanding. Lots of construction going on, but the staffs kindness and positivity more than makes up for it.

Gem of all gems

Still my favorite track in az. Challenging but always true, For this time of the year unreal. Complete renovation in the club house and property front. Going to be unreal. Hope it stays true to its prices because it’s a massive renovation.

Started on 10 today and it was a complete different feel. Loved it. Heard July 8-10th they will punch/aerate. Greens were a tad slower than usual but receptive and even bites with chipping.

Go Play

For those that leave a review because the remodeling the clubhouse, has nothing to do with the golf course. This course is always in great shape and as long as you can do your best to stay out as many of the 115 bunkers then it’s usually enjoyable. The pace of play was the only thing to be negative about. Waited most of the day until the back 9

Not worth the drive

The staff is great. The course and pace of play wasn't worth the hour drive. Much better courses to play if you are staying in Phoenix.

Best time to play—pure golf!

The clubhouse is under construction until May 2027. This place is pure golf at this moment—just the way I like it! I highly recommend playing here to experience pure golf…none of the frills. Enjoy!

Southern Dunes

If you think bunker shots, this is the course for you. Strategic placement in landing areas and protecting the greens. Beautiful layout but can be intimidating.

Great course

This course is always fun to play. Great layout and peace a quiet. Can't wait to have a beer at the 19th hole when they complete construction. The new building looks great so far. Keep it up Souther Dunes. The golf staff is top notch.

Great Course Design

This course is a well designed course by Fred Couples.

Should note that the entire clubhouse is being renovated and won’t open until Spring 2027. They have a food truck there though that has the best Smash Cheese Burger I have ever eaten!! They gave us a $10 food voucher each when we checked in for our tee time, which was not expected and was appreciated.

Lots of sand

As it name describes, this course has a lot of sand or dirt traps. They currently are not in very good condition. The course is very nice and staff is friendly!

Excellent track

I had read a few previous reviews about the course being in a bit of disarray, and yes, they are doing construction and rebuilding the clubhouse, but the Golf Course was a great challenge. Lots of great holes that take a great amount of strategy to get around. The staff was incredibly friendly, navigating us through the construction, and although the pace was a bit slow, we had a fantastic day out at Southern dunes.

Average

Slightly underwhelming course. Currently under construction. Parts of the course look to be not is great conditions, mostly the areas off the fairways. The course design has alot of bunkers but the bunkers were not in good shape. Hard sand which made them almost unplayable. Approximately 1 hour from Phoenix area.

Tough layout. Small landing areas on droves and heavily bunkered greens. Tons of traps. Sand could be better but recommend and worth the 40 min drive.

Not for beginners

Good course for 10 index or lower. Lack of sand in bunkers and less than ideal GPS makes for additional challenges. 50% of bunkers green-side were hard pack with no sand. The Mtc folks said sand gets blown out of bunkers!? Should be good course when club house is completed, they fix bunkers and get new carts with better GPS.
