Wild Dunes Harbor Course, designed by Tom Fazio, is said to be cut from some of the prettiest real estate in South Carolina. Water makes up a great deal of the Harbor Course layout. After all, half the course runs along the world’s longest water hazard, The Intracoastal Waterway. Fazio claims the Harbor Course to be one of his favorites. "Working on the Harbor Course was very satisfying to me as a designer because we had to create everything. It was a very challenging, and ultimately, a very satisfying project."

Fantastic Round

Great round of golf and even had a gator sighting! Greens were fairly quick and the fairways were in very good shape for January. Beautiful course. There’s no turn so make sure you’ve got everything you need at the start of the round! Really enjoyed the round, though.

Wonderful golf experience

The Wild Dunes Harbor Course is one fine golf course. Beautiful groomed, superb conditions. Sufficiently challenging but fair for a 90’s golfer. Greens we’re running fast since it had a tournament the day before. Holes along inter-coastal waterway are a joy to behold.

Challenging in multiple ways

As the red-headed step-child to the resort’s Links Course, the Harbor Course is still a good challenge. It’s a very tight course with water/OB on nearly every hole. The greens are very, very small. And the winds can be brutal really affecting the ability to keep the ball in play. The course was in great shape and my playing partner made a hole-in-one on #13! That’s not something that happens every day.

The price is average for its quality and relative to nearby courses. But the most confounding part is the course layout and routing. To call it unique is an understatement. The course is squeezed between homes, The distance between 4 & 5 is at least a half a mile thru neighborhoods and across multiple streets. And the turn at 9 is no turn at all but at least two miles from the clubhouse.

Yet when you get past the crazy routing the Harbor Course is a good course worth playing with some memorable holes. The staff is friendly and they work to provide a good experience.

Tightest course great views!

The course was kept in amazing shape for December, the greens where a lil shaggy but to be expected, I really loved the challenge of the fairways being so small, but the only negative thing I could say is those greens were smaller then a putt putt course, but again it’s own challenge there but had a amazing time, and the cart girl was the sweetest

Enjoyed the Challenge

We played Harbor on a November Saturday with an early afternoon tee time. It was a challenging course with wind and water. With a 5:15 sunset looming, we were not able to get a full 18 holes in before dark. It was low tide so only a couple of cart paths were flooded forcing an inconvenience but nothing too troubling. The course staff was accommodating and gracious throughout the day. A narrow fairway layout with TINY greens created a challenge along with the steady winds coming off the ICW on almost every hole. Enjoyed the outing and we'll be back!

GREAT SHAPE

This course has some great views and is a pleasure to play. The course is in great shape; recently over-seeded, so the fairways are lush. The greens were in really good shape as well. Pace of play was very good.

Great Course

The course was well kept for the time of year. Narrow fairways which made for a good challenge. Wind gets whipping of the water that you have to account for but a fun course to play.

Course conditions

Really nice course what I seen of it. Holes 5 thru 13 had some kind of irrigation break so I had to play 1 thru 4 twice and 14 thru 18 twice. A little whacky. Overall a nice layout for what I got to play.
