Is Southern Dunes really a great golf course?

I plan to surprise my hubby by taking him on a Golf trip to Florida(I sorta made a “dent” on the bumper of his car the other day heheh) and I’m torn between Southern Dunes & Kissimmee Golf Club … opinions anyone?

I’d vote for Southern Dunes for your hubby!

According to their site:

Southern Dunes G&CC is one of the best public golf courses in Orlando Florida and has been ranked #7 in the state of Florida by Golf Week. Southern Dunes is not only recognized as one of Orlando’s finest golf courses, but has been nationally ranked as well.

If you are vacationing in Orlando and want to play golf, you cannot pass up the opportunity to play the best golf course in Orlando, FL. This dramatic hillside layout stretches over 7,200 yards and features 100 feet of elevation changes which offers spectacular views of the expansive fairways that are flanked by over 180 bunkers.
