About
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.

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!
Excellent venue!
Lush fairways, large greens in great shape, friendly staff and a nice breeze off the intracoastal. What could go wrong? I'll be back!
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
Nice course
Enjoyed playing the course however the bugs were pretty bad.
Worth the money
Premium experience for a reasonable price. Very friendly staff. Course and all facilities in great shape.
100 out of 10
This course was amazing the staff was great food was great pace of play was perfect definitely gonna play here again
Great Course
Wide open fairways, not a hard course but fair. Lots of fun. Great conditions. Greens have legs and run quite a bit shoot short.
Great course!
In Myrtle Beach, you have lots of choices where to golf. Grande Dunes is one of the best courses I've played, ANYWHERE! Course is in fantastic shape, great practice facilities and super friendly staff. Certainly will be back again!!
Exceeded Expectations
I saw mostly good reviews before I played but there were a couple negative ones. Not sure what the people saw who wrote the negative reviews. I was mostly corned about what one or two people said about the greens. Well, the greens were in tremendous shape. I play some very nice courses and the greens at Grande Dunes are up to the standards and then some. Also, some of the best bunkers I have ever played out of. Would go back in a heartbeat.
Only 9 holes
I paid for 18holes and when I arrived I was told it was only for 9 holes.
Great place to play
Very well maintained golf course with enjoyable layout.
I had fun playing two back to back rounds.
First time played
Nice resort-type layout. Large pro shop and all facilities. Course is quite long (Green tees yardage is 5895). Large greens were very clean, fairways lush. I’ll go back.
