Eagle Dunes Golf Club is easy to find, especially if you use Google Maps on an Android device like me--we were able to find out the unnamed road on MapQuest was actually County Road 437, use this map, it works well.
But like most of the golf course in Florida right now, the lawns are dead and dry, the usual result of frost. This photograph is the first hole at Eagle Dunes Golf Club. I almost hate to show it since in general the course is in really good condition as seen by the brightly green tee box. You can tell much about the course on this first picture--it has lots of water and sand hazards and some heavy clumps of grass in places you're not supposed to go to.

This photograph shows how the sand traps often come into play, even on your drives. The golf course has strategically surrounded the greens, as show here, to make your approach shot a challenge. Using a distance finder can make the job easier--be sure to add one club for uphill and since the course can be windy, add one club when you're facing the wind directly.
This photograph shows the mine field of sand traps on the next hole when you go to drive. Each of the four large traps are positioned to have you likely land in one of them. I played between the two distant sand traps and landed fine, but it turns out the lady I played with had the best plan, to go over the second trap in the foreground--she had a downhill roll that added distance. One thing about a challenging golf course like Eagle Dunes Golf Club is you will likely want to play it again, even if the women have their choice of an easy and a tough tee at times and there are portapotties instead of bathrooms.
