I love Southern Dunes. It was described to me as deceptively short and thats very accurate. Everytime I've played the course it has been in excellent shape. A couple of really challenging over water holes, and some short-cut par-5s make for an interesting round mentally and physically. Pair this course up with Heartland Crossing for a weekend golf getaway and thank me later.

We were looking for a good golf deal on Golfnow so that we could play before the baseball game while visiting in St. Louis. Got a last minute 10/person w/ cart at Lockhaven. Wasn't expecting a whole lot given the price, but after finishing the last putt I can say I would have easily had no problem paying 30-35 for play here.
Wouldn't recommend walking here, very hilly. However, they use the elevation changes nicely. Many holes tee off from a bluff giving you extra distance on drives on longer holes. Bermuda fairways in great condition. Given the elevation changes there are some blind shots, and if you're not in the fairway on those shots it can be difficult to find your ball.
Staff was very friendly. A cart service was offered selling various beverages, and water coolers were placed every other hole. Took advantage of the HUGE locker room after a humid round. Very nice bar with good food to relax afterwards. Also, the drive along the Mississippi to get to the location was pretty cool.

You wouldn't expect much from a course with a Clayton, Indiana address, but this course is of postcard picture quality. Very challenging for the average golfer, most every hole requires an accurate tee shot. Also, the greens tend to be much much slower than the average golf course so 3 putting early could be commonplace. However, if its your first time playing the course, just put down the scorecard and enjoy a round of golf on a beautiful piece of land. A GolfNow user can usually find a good deal here often for under 20 bucks.
