Dunedin Golf Club

A municipal course owned by the City of Dunedin, Dunedin Golf Club lies a block east of the Gulf of Mexico, north of St. Petersburg–Clearwater. The club operates an 18-hole, par-72 Donald Ross layout that now stretches to roughly 6,745 yards from the back tees. Facilities include a full-service clubhouse with public dining (the city approved a new operator, Highland House, in 2024), a golf shop, and practice grounds that were reconfigured during the 2024 restoration—most notably the practice fairway was rotated and extended to improve safety and capacity. The course is routed on gently rolling sand and pine scrub cut by Curlew Creek and a tidal branch that influence play on several back-nine holes. As a public venue, Dunedin welcomes daily-fee play alongside memberships. Today’s presentation emphasizes firm, fast surfaces on TifTuf bermudagrass fairways and TifEagle bermudagrass greens, restored green pads with reclaimed perimeter hole locations, and re-established Ross bunker forms that define preferred angles without overwhelming the walk. Visitors encounter a historic course that functions as the city’s everyday muni and, after recent work, presents Ross’s original targets and widths with modern irrigation, drainage, and turf to support heavy public play.
