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.

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.

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.

Beautifully laid out course

This course has a great design. From the tips at 7500+, it is a monster. Looked at several holes from the tips. But from the white tees at 6300 where I played today, it is pretty wide. Played the ball down since the fairways were so nice. Bunkers will not give up a ball. If one goes in, it stays in. Bunkers have great sand though, so you have a chance to recover. The greens are in perfect condition, not flat but not too crazy undulating, like Goldilocks says, just right. Some of the holes overlook the big adjacent river and have great views. Very pretty course, would love to play again.
