Rating 76.8

Windswept Dunes Golf Club tumbles across a dramatic landscape covered with white sand dunes accented by lush green fairways. The golf course appeals to players of all skill levels thanks to player-friendly features that are balanced by strategically placed hazards. Although each hole shares the characteristic of being lined with dunes, they each maintain a unique character. The rolling fairways are often wide and generous off the tee and the sand dunes, which stretch from tee too green, are only punishing of the most errant of shots. The approach shots though are as demanding as the tee shots are forgiving. There are numerous bunkers fiercely guarding the large, smooth greens. While the occasional water hazard comes into play, the bunkers are the most challenging element of Windswept Dunes Golf Club.

Challenging but worth it

It is long for women especially but in great condition. Has some beautiful holes . No fancy clubhouse but to us that isn't a factor.

Not a course for walkers.

The course is long in play and the way it's configured. Never see the same whole twice, the layout takes you thru many trees and by homes along the track. Fun course, I will be back when it's cooler.

Tough Course

This course played longer than the yardage listed. The greens were rough from aeration and the bunkers needed attention. A good layout and challenging.

The numerous tee boxes allow for all skill levels to enjoy this course.

Challenging layout with the undulations in the bermuda greens and numerous snad bunkers. The course was a liitle wet in spots due to the heavy rains this summer, but did not take away from enjoying this scenic course.

Very pleasurable experience.

Wonderful course that had the feel somewhat of playing some local courses in my home state.

Huge greens but don't be fooled. They are not easy. The staff was nice and helpful. With the heat it was nice that there were plenty of water coolers spread around the course.

The course may appear to be challenging to the novice but once you view the course as a whole then you will understand that the fairways are much wider than thought.

This place will be on my list every time I return to the area.

Course was extremely wet due to the excessive amount of recent rain fall. We've been to course before and really like it but this time it was too wet

Price needs to be lowered until conditions are improved.

Good condition, very challenging

Nice course. It rained, however, we waited it out and finished our round. The water drainage was good except for a couple of holes. We've had so much rain the last few weeks, I would guess that on a normal amount of rainfall those holes would not have been wet. The only negative issue, the par three tee boxes had no yardage makers on them and we didn't have a GPS on the cart so guessing the yardage didn't work good for us.

I will definitely return and play again!08/08/2013

Great pace of play

I played there on a Tuesday morning and played 27 holes in a little over three hours. Be careful when choosing your tees, I played the blues and hit a lot of 4 and 5 irons as well as hybrids into greens. It is a very long course, I played the third nine from the green tees and shaved 5 strokes off as well as hitting some short and middle irons. It is soaked right now like a lot of Florida courses but they cannot control mother nature. Tee boxes, greens, and fairways are perfect other than the low lying areas.

Long and Wide

This course is the longest course in the Florida but the fairways are wide with generous landing areas? I played it 2 days in a row and even with my sky caddie I found the course very challenging. I've played many courses in the past 20+ years but the greens on this course are the largest I have ever seen. Well worth the drive to play.

One of the most enjoyable golf experiences

I played this course solo and wished I could have shared it with others. This was one of the most enjoyable golf experiences I have had. The course is open, the fairways and greens were in great shape and it made you think about your shots.

This was the first course I have ever played in which I used every club in my bag in one round.

I would highly recommend this course to any golfer as it also has very reasonable greens fees, especially compared to many of the courses closer to the beach.

longest course ive ever played

A great long course that had 6 tees to choose from for any level golfer. The course was in great shape given all the rain we've had.

SANDY, YES, BUT NOT AS MUCH AS EXPECTED

Course description led me to expect almost desert-like target golf difficulty. Not so, but mostly waste areas and some carries but nothing more than what I can play in the central fl area. For the money paid would expect more pristine conditioning with faster greens. Almost average in conditioning but still maintained with some fairway areas needing attention. Some huge greens - all in nice condition but surprisingly slow. All in all, still a pleasant place to play and compared to other "in season" high rate courses a little more reasonable cost but still high enough to expect more for your money. Would still play again given the opportunity but hopefully less cost.

Great but

We were told there was a tournament and it would be slow for about an hour, but they let a 5some out before us and played over two and a half hours for the front, we passed them at the turn and ran into six more playing together. I love this place but the management needs to curb the big groups.

A very chalenging course with great character.

Every hole is well designed to force you to play many shots and most of the clubs in your bag. The greens are massive but require accurate approach shots due to the multi - layer design. Risk - reward on many tee shots provide challenging decisions. This will become one of my favorite stops for my annual vacation to the Gulf.

wide open course but very long.

unless high handicappers play the forward tees this course will be very difficult. it goes from the white (5700 yards} to the green which is 6600 yds. Big change.
Other than that course is well maintained, wide open, huge greens, have a gps as course is not marked well.
No cart service. range is very primitive but does the job.
