A Gem in the Arizona Desert – Southern Dunes Golf Club

Jan 4, 2012 by

For any of the snow birds or any visitors to the Metro Phoenix area take a look at the video and our review of Southern Dunes Golf Club, Troon run and now owned by the A-K CHIN Indian Community. The course has always been in fabulous shape but it is even better now as the new owners have invested into the course and upgrades to dining.

Enjoy the challenging greens with false fronts and where you need to watch which side of the cup you leave yourself a putt, to the 100+ bunkers that will swallow you up if you don’t judge the distances or wander too far off the middle of the fairway. Careful in the summer as the course has a fair share of native Rattlers to make you think twice about recovering errant tee shots.

Don’t worry, Southern Dunes plays 5100 from the forward tees but any level of golfer can enjoy their round here.

For those brave enough to play from the 7517 yard tips, watch out for a rough day with 3 par 4’s over 480 and a 606 par 5 :( or :) if you like pain!

We consider Southern Dunes Golf Club to be GOLF BELLES RECOMMENDED (GBR)! 4.5 out of 5 Belles!

Sprawling across more than 320 acres, Southern Dunes Golf Club provides a welcoming, laid-back ambiance; a place where the world melts away and the game of golf becomes the focus. Here – amid uninhibited, 360-degree views of Arizona’s magnificent desert expanses – this world-class, Troon Golf-managed club offers impeccable course conditioning, unmatched playability and superlative customer service, thus ensuring an unparalleled round of sensational Southwestern golf.

Sculpted by the master architects of Schmidt-Curley Design, Inc., with the help of golf legend Fred Couples, Southern Dunes’ creative routing, native grasses and rugged, unbridled landforms pay tribute to the game’s great links-land courses. Strategically placed flashed-up bunkers add challenge to the experience and encourage golfers to hit their drivers on nearly every hole, while calculated approach shots into small, well-designed greens complexes place a premium on precision. And, with tee placements that stretch the course from 5,100 yards to more than 7,500 yards, Southern Dunes tests even the most accomplished golfers yet still provides novices with a memorable day of golf.
