World Golf Profiles Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club
Posted by Josh Hallett on June 26, 2007 at 12:47 PM
WorldGolf.com recently reviewed Southern Dunes in Haines City, FL. Tim McDonald says:
An easy drive from Orlando, Southern Dunes Golf and Country Club in Haines City is like finding the Mona Lisa in a trailer park: It's a strikingly imaginative Steve Smyers-designed golf course that ranks among the best in Florida golf.
I'm not sure if the 'trailer park' thing was a joke or a serious quip.

Josh-
Polk County Tourism & Sports Marketing organized Tim's trip to Polk County in December of last year and I am sure it was just a joke and not a shot at our area. Tim played several other courses while he was here and has written other reviews (all positive) about the golf here in Polk County.
In getting to know Tim while he was here, I definitely can see that he was just joking and trying to use a clever "hook" in the lead of his story.
On another note: Look for some more Polk County golf course reviews coming up soon as we just hosted a golf writer from the UK for a week.
This is a pretty popular golf destination and we are always happy to see good reviews....as long as the trailer park analogies are kept to a minimum.
