after outing still in good shape.

The tee stations were a bit roughed up from a large outing but the greens were is good shape for the traffic they got. Brian and his crew always do a great job keeping the course playable and the greens in top condition.

The course is challenging, but fair. However it is in bad shape.

I have played here for several years in the past, and this was my first time here this year.
I must say, that tee boxes are in absolutely terrible shape! Nearly every one is tore up, and need to be completely redone.
Also, the green side bunkers are like hitting off of pavement. I know a load of sand is not very expensive, so I fail to see why this is the case.
I have refused to play other courses around (Tameka Woods for example), due to these same type of issues.
I hope this can be resolved, because I really like playing here, however I do not want to pay to play a course that is not what it should be.

Played long

1st time playing this course but not the last. Great links style layout. Had rained hard 2 days previous so wasn't getting the roll you like on links but course was well drained and probably played great the next day. Wife played and found it lady friendly . Only complaint was indifferent youngster working the pro shop, but that kinda seems to be the norm anymore

Very nice course

I purchased a real good deal from golf now $12 for a round. The course was in great shape, fairways wide, the approach shot challenging with greens surrounded by water, fescue and sand with the occasional extended first cut and greens not fast with nice turns. I really like this course it is not extremely long and has a links feel. Good course for south side of indy. In the neighborhood it's a definite play.

The staff was extremely nice to us, especially the lady that was working as ranger. We met some people that lived on the course that were also very friendly. We feel this is the nicest golf course we play considering price. While they definitely packed a lot of golfers in there, it was Friday afternoon in June! Other courses turned us away from being full and they found us a spot. Thanks!

stay off my lawn you whipper snapper

Great layout and the staff takes great care of the course, but it appears not many players on the south side have ever heard the saying "leave the course in better condition than you found it" something I was told when I was first learning....... Also the gentleman at the pro shop had me feeling that my buying a shirt and asking the clubs price of various balls was a bit of an annoyance and that I best be moving on. I also I found the price of golf gear to be a bit pricey compared to other clubs on the south side. I liked the greens, I will be back and would recommend playing here at golfnow pricing of course!

Unexpectedly good

I was leary about playing here because I don't usually enjoy housing addition courses (homes too close, too many members cause over crowding, etc.). This was the exception. Holes are spread out nicely, hazards are well placed, and the staff couldn't have been nicer. I will go back.

Playing in December

I played a round of golf in Indiana on December 1st!!!!
Hey Southern Dunes is one of my favorite courses to play. It is challenging but if you get hot you can go low on this course. I see this course as two separate 9's. You have to survive the front 9 and then feast on the back 9. Designed by one of the all time greats Gary Player. Go try it, you will like it!

I would definitly play thid course again.

The course tests your shot accuracy. Even though it has few trees, it penalizes poor shots very well. I would suggest you take plenty of extra balls. The rough does a good job of hiding them and there is plenty of water to avoid.

Needs major attention

I played this course in 2005 and I believe in 2008. The course was beautiful, obviously still fairly new back then. This outing was the opposite. I don't know if last years summer really is to blame for all the damage on the course, but I doubt it. It had rained quite a bit the night before and there is no way it shouldn't have been cart path only. But knowing better I stayed off. However you could see where other carts were just tearing up the fairways. Tee boxes were destroyed and many had weeds growing on them. Almost every green had large bare spots. For the price, it's simply not worth it. Even cheap rates off of Golf Now don't detract from what this course looks like. Hopefully something will change. I won't go back for some time.

Looks Nice

The club house was pretty sweet, stocked with Nike gear and a indoor putting surface. Then you get to the tee boxes and they're junk and the greens could use some TLC. Other then that not bad.

One of our favorite courses!

Though it's only a par 70 and isn't terribly long, Southern Dunes presents a fun challenge for golfers of all abilities. The pace of play was a bit slow when we played due to a scramble-style golf outing, but the course was in decent shape. Some of the tee boxes had been aerated recently. Better yardage markings and/or GPS units in the carts would be helpful.
