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.

Course

Best course I have played in Myrtle Beach. No other track has the terrain and scenery that Grande Dunes has. It’s pricey but worth it if you want a quality round. Friendly staff and great practice areas.

Annual buddies trip

We had our annual buddies golf trip. We played the Dunes, and it did not disappoint. The fairways were excellent, and the greens were fast and true. The overall facility was outstanding, including the driving and chipping area. First class facility.

Great course

Course conditions were perfect. Only issue is the course length for seniors and women who do not hit as far as we use to. They could use an additional forward tee to make the play more enjoyable and keep the pace moving

Greens were rolling 10-11 very good for end of August. Fairways were in great shape but a little wet from recent rain showers.

Grande Dunes - Big Time

After watching Grande Dunes on TV (Korn Ferry) I decided to take my skills to see how I'd fair on a tournament course, so this was a big deal.

The course didn't disappoint. Just enough variety to keep your attention and a couple of par 3 pretty enough for a post card and challenging enough for a 5 Hdcp

Will be back.

Grande Experience

The range, chipping area, putting area, fairways and greens were perfect. There were two spots where I feel there could be better signage showing where the next hole is, but I love this course. There was a group 3 groups ahead of us who slowed things down. Otherwise it would’ve been a perfect round.

We will play this course again when we visit in September
