Southern Hills Plantation Club

Overview: Southern Hills Plantation is a private Pete Dye Signature course in Brooksville, built across unusually rolling Florida terrain. The 18-hole layout plays to par 72 and approximately 7,557 yards, using elevation, broad views, bunkering and water to create a more varied test than the state's flat coastal stereotype.

History: The course opened in 2006 according to its published profile and credit Pete Dye with the design. The course became the golf centerpiece of the Southern Hills Plantation community and has continued to operate as a private club, with members using the long routing and natural elevation as its defining features.

Did You Know? Southern Hills has hosted PGA and Web.com Tour qualifying-school events. That history is a useful reminder that the course's length and changing elevation are not just residential amenities, but have also been used for serious competitive golf.
