Southern Dunes

Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club was first established in 1993 and is located about 8 miles south of exit 55 on the I4 exit (intersection with US27). There are approximately 700 homes in this community located around the multi award winning Southern Dunes Golf Course which is a 25 minutes’ drive from Walt Disney World main gate.

Southern Dunes is an established and peaceful gated community comprising of a mix of vacation homes and owner occupied homes. The internal roads are very quiet so it’s safe to walk, jog or cycle around. When you first enter Southern Dunes you will see a lake to the right. There are tree lined roads and trees around the perimeter of the golf course, giving the feel of the country. There is an active home owners association clearly focused on maintaining and improving the community.

Southern Dunes boasts 3 community swimming pools, which are larger than the private villa pools, so are useful if you want to swim lengths. There are two tennis courts and small children’s play area with swings and slides. The lake has a small resident alligator and fishing is permitted (but not for the alligator).

If you follow the main road (Southern Dunes Boulevard) through the community you arrive at the golf clubhouse which has a bar and a restaurant. The clubhouse is open to anyone so you don’t have to be playing golf to have for breakfast, lunch or dinner. In the evening you can walk to the clubhouse for a drink (or more) without having to worry about driving.

There are 2 large supermarkets (Winn-Dixie & Wal-Mart) just outside the main gate to Southern Dunes, where you can buy all your provisions (food, pharmacy, clothes, pool toys etc). Wal-Mart is open 24/7 and has a gas station as well. As the shops are so close it is possible to walk to Wal-Mart to pick-up freshly baked bread and a British newspaper or a freshly roasted chicken for a alfresco meal by your pool.

The public golf club and course is open to all and features a driving range, putting green and golf pro shop. To order to be able to play a round, it is advisable to book in advanced to avoid disapoointment as it is a very popular with tourists and locals.
