Dunedin Golf Club

I love playing Donald Ross designed courses. I find them so very well designed with no hidden hazards or bunkers. Dunedin Golf Club does not disappoint.

The traditional raised greens are standard here. Most approach shots call for an extra club because of the raised greens. In classic Ross style, there aren't a ton of forced carries. Everything is straight forward. The doglegs present themselves directly before you. No guess work on which way the holes play.

The greens were in fabulous shape. There were no bare spots at all. The volume of grass on the greens was impressive. The greens rolled very true and they rolled fast! Whenever possible, stay below the pin. The grain on these greens is strong. Putting uphill is much better than putting downhill with the grain. Downhill puts are very speedy!

The fairways on the front 9 were in very good shape. I only noticed one spot on a front nine fairway that needed attention. The same can't be said on the back nine. The fairways need some serious work. The 10th fairway was horrible. Other fairways on the back were better, but a couple need help.

The course overall was fun to play. Ross designs his courses to make the players hit shots. Hit a decent tee ball and you can expect to be rewarded with a good view of the green. Hit a tee ball offline, and you can expect to probably be hitting a recovery shot.

There was no bag staff when I arrived. The golf pro told me I could load my bag on any cart. He also directed me to the starter. The starter, Joe or John, barely looked up from his post. I was playing as a single. He told me I could catch a couple ahead of me and play along if I wanted. He never made any effort to go out to the couple and notify them. He checked my ticket and then he headed into the restaurant. Off I went. I didn't bother the couple ahead of me. I just played my 18 by myself. The couple moved along, but being a single, I had plenty of time to check out the conditions of the tees, fairways, and greens.

The restaurant staff was excellent. The bartender kept my soda filled and took my food order quickly. My chicken wrap was very good. I highly recommend the restaurant for a post round bite to eat and a drink!

I bring 7 friends down to the Tampa area for a weeklong golf outing every fall. While I'd like to bring them to Dunedin Golf Club, the condition of the back nine fairways would disappoint my friends; I hope they get those fairways back in prime shape. Then Dunedin Golf Club would be on our "Must Play List."

Cart path only for half our round. Course had good drainage except homes 15 and 17 which sit low. Nice design. Typical starter. Good play pace. Wr drive from Indian Rocks Beach for 40 minutes to play here as its conditions are better than those of CCC and ChiChi's. ( Although those are fun courses, too!)

First time playing this course. Course was in decent shape. Greens were challenging...I would play again.

Love this course great shape this year.
Tee off App got us a very good deal.
Course is closing March 1 to Nov 1 for complete renovations. Apparently bought by the City of Dunedin.

This course is in better shape than the average public course around Clearwater. We will make the 40 minute trip from Indian Rocks Beach again this winter for sure!
The team boxes, greens, in fairways were in better than average shape for public golf course around here. It took four and a half hours to play with minimum waiting.
There are hybrid tees for women as well as forward ones and the regular ones. The course has a nice layout.

The course is in good condition. They are closing soon for a complete renovation. The plan sounds great will take 9 months.

Lots of signs of dry weather. Lost balls in the fairways because of dead leaves. Some water hazards in play. Sand was firm and easy to escape. I left with the impression that the greens averaged on the small side and were somewhat slower than other courses we have played on this trip.

The course was in good condition
I would play it again..
