Southern Dunes Golf Club (formerly Royal Dunes) is unique among semi-private golf clubs in the Southwest. Its mission is to provide a welcoming environment where accomplished players are treated to the type of private club experience that they value. The Fred Couples and Curley-Schmidt design team has sculpted a land-links style course by moving great amounts of earth to create dunes-like features. Most holes feature wide and forgiving landing areas that invite players to grip it and rip it off the tee. The true test on this layout is found around the greens. The atmosphere at the club is relaxed and welcoming. Service and conditioning standards are extremely high.
