Eagle Dunes Golf Club




About this course
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.

Getting there
The journey to Eagle Dunes Golf Club begins at Orlando International Airport, just forty minutes southeast via the Florida Turnpike and State Road 46, making this a remarkably accessible escape from one of the nation's busiest travel hubs. The drive northwest traces the gentle transition from Orlando's sprawl into the rolling citrus groves and moss-draped oaks of Lake County, where the landscape opens into a quieter, Old Florida rhythm. As you approach Sorrento - a blink-and-you'll-miss-it hamlet tucked between the Butler and Harris chain of lakes - the final turn onto Saddle Lake Drive reveals Eagle Dunes' secluded entrance, a world apart despite its proximity to the theme park corridor.
