Joe, cool pics. How did you group compare Brooksville CC with the Dunes?
7 out of our group of 8 last year preferred the Dunes to Pine Barrens. While I was the lone dissenter, I like the Dunes quite a bit for these reasons: 1) Great driving course due to abundant width and angled fairways; 2) Excellent use of elevation changes, particularly for Florida; 3) firmness accomodates the ground game; and 4) affordability.

Dunes looks pretty good...new owner? wasnt the course quite poorly maintained not long ago?
Joe:Have you ever played Mystic Dunes, near Orlando, which I think was designed by Gary Koch? A few of the Dunes Golf holes look like some of the holes on the front nine at Mystic Dunes, only better.
My recollection is that the site for this course was bombed as much as quarried. It was a practice bomb range during WWII where dummy bombs were dropped. The old craters used to be visible around the property, at least before the recent renovation.
Those quarry holes look amazing. What was your favorite out of them? Also can you comment on the 18th hole?And what do you think of the 6th green of the Dunes Club?Pup
Joe, Thanks for the pics. PB looks to be in very nice shape particularily with the winter we've had down here. How were the greens?Also, do you view 18 to be a weak hole? I've always thought that it is a terrible finish to an otherwise superb layout. One either gets hung up in the "junk" on the left if they try to cut too much off or ends up punching out from the right, when they drive it through the fairway.
