Eagle Dunes at Eagle Dunes Golf Club

Eagle Dunes Golf Club sits in Sorrento, a small community in Lake County in central Florida, roughly midway between Orlando and Ocala. The course was designed by Mike Dasher, a Florida-based architect who has worked extensively throughout the southeastern United States since the 1990s. Dasher's portfolio includes numerous daily-fee and semi-private facilities across Florida, often characterized by strategic bunkering and routing that works with the natural terrain rather than imposing dramatic earthwork.

The layout at Eagle Dunes occupies rolling terrain that is somewhat unusual for central Florida, where many courses are built on flatter ground. The property features elevation changes that allow for varied shot values and natural drainage patterns. Pine and oak trees frame many holes, and the design incorporates water hazards and waste areas typical of Florida golf. The course serves both local members and visiting golfers, operating as a semi-private facility that balances community access with outside play.

Sorrento itself is a quiet residential area north of the major Orlando attractions, and Eagle Dunes functions as a neighborhood amenity as well as a regional golf destination. The course reflects Dasher's approach of creating playable layouts that offer challenge without excessive length or forced carries, making it accessible to a range of skill levels while still requiring thoughtful course management.
