Style Links
Par 72
Length 7618 yards
Slope 142
Rating 77.3

Golf at Grande Dunes and Beach Club in North Myrtle Beach is played on a grand scale. The course is set high on a bluff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, with panoramic views of the waterway and maritime forest. It's 7,618 yards, with a very difficult slope rating of 141. Five holes play along the waterway. The greens are grand, averaging 10,000 square feet with eight rotating pin placements, ensuring the course changes significantly from day to day. There is plenty of water, to be sure: the par-5 17th hole has water running down the entire left side and a moat fronting the green, for example. There are also some nice elevation changes; the par-3 14th hole has about a 65-foot drop, with the green jutting out over the waterway.

Overall Good

Staff was excellent, friendly, and helpful. Always felt welcome and treated me great. Course layout is very good and very challenging the closer you get to the green. Extremely wide fairways are very forgiving, but approaches to the green can get swallowed up by hidden hazards. Greens are massive, challenging, and the green complexes are the best part of this course. Recommend this course at least once. Some parts of the tee boxes, fairways and adjacent to greens were burnt out and had no grass. On a par three I hit short, and had to hit over bunker, but there was no grass just burnt out dirt and promptly could not get the club under and left it in the bunker. Frustrated because it was the bail out area and should not have been that penal. But that was the exception, not the rule for the day. Overall, very good experience.

Awesome condition

Played the course four days after Myrtle Beach had 6 inches of snow. It had rained the day before. The course was still firm and in wonderful condition. I was told by the staff that it is the best draining course in Myrtle Beach. I totally believe that. Beautiful course, friendly staff, definitely worth the price which is more than I usually pay to play..

A Grand Old Time At Grande Dunes

Great course and great weather made for an enjoyable round. Greens were seeded and slow, leading to bouncy putts and tough putting, but greens seeding is a necessary procedure. I wasn’t sure of where to begin my round, since the starter was not available at the driving range upon my arrival there, but all in all, I still give it an “A minus” rating!

Good course

The course is nice and the facilities are great (including the Practice range area).

The course is not exeptional but has a very interesting lay out with some remarkable holes (especially on the second nine).The Fairway was in perfect conditions while the greens (2 weeks after aeration) were still not fast as I expected. Overall a course I would suggest

Good challenge

Layout forced a tough decision off most tees as trouble was almost always reachable from the tee. Greens were firm and in good condition. Would play it again
