Grande Dunes Resort Club
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.

Quite the experience
If you’re looking for a golf experience with amazing amenities, look no further, this is the place. This course is a beautiful layout that is in excellent conditions.
I researched the course after receiving recommendations from Mr. Short Game and The Traveling Golfer. I’m glad I acted on their recommendations.
My visit started with a pleasant greeting from Shane. Shane was happy to help us get out early because of Tropical Storm Ophelia that was approaching off the coast.
When we finished our round we were excited to buy souvenirs in the pro shop. The pro shop has a great assortment of products that represent the Grande Dunes. We were greeted by Caleb from the staff and he was top notch with his assistance. Not only was Caleb extremely helpful with helping us find souvenirs, but he also helped assist us on places to eat in the area.
Summary of my experience, one of the best experiences I have ever had. Yes, it hurt my wallet, but now I have an experience that I will never forget.
One of the best in Myrtle Beach
Friendly staff. The moved up my tee time to get me (single) ahead of a few foursomes. Elevation changes and runs along Intercoastal. Beautiful layout. Great condition. My wife enjoyed the watching beautiful large homes that are along the fairways.
Greens were a bit sandy, but were smooth and rolling nicely
New sand in bunkers made for exceptional bunker play. The course has great large greens with lots of undulations. Tee boxes are also large and well maintained. The fairways were also large and wide on most holes. Several holes are right along the intercostal waterway which makes for some wonderful viewing. I played the white tees. Next time I will probably move back to the blue tees. This course would be a monster if played from the tips. As one example, #8 is a par 3 that plays towards a green right on the canal. Yardage from the back tee box…241. Yeah. Going to need a golf shot to hit the green.
Awesome
Everyone employee was very nice and helpful! The best course I’ve played at MB! Keep up the great job!
Exceptional
Great course layout and condition, super friendly staff, all around outstanding!
Looking good since its 2022 renovation
A lot can happen in 20 years. Grande Dunes opened at the height of pre-Recession golf mania, when the majority of courses were built to be big and extroverted. Last year, after years of typical course evolution, its large, jagged-edged bunkers and huge, amoeba greens were restored, with some reductions in sand square-footage as a sop to playability. The project was a success, and now Grande Dunes is ready to continue to stand as something of a museum-piece of a bygone era in course development, and one of the top options in Myrtle Beach’s central district. The newly-renovated clubhouse restaurant, Terrazza19, is one of the beach’s best, too.

Great course
Had a fantastic time playing, actually coming back in several months to come play again! Highly recommend
Great place to paly!
This golf course is beautiful, the staff was great, the price totally fair. Highly recommended.
5 stars all around
You honestly couldn’t ask for a nicer coat at the cost.Everything from the time we checked in to lunch after the round was about all you could ask for and more. Would definitely play here again on our next golf trip
Slowest PACE of PLAY
Take your pillow with you as the pace of play is the worst. The staff doesn’t care to do anything about the pace. Their response when I requested one of the useless starters/rangers to help was “we are about booking as many rounds as possible, daily”.
Great Sunday morning
Grande Dunes did not disappoint. Everyone was friendly, and I felt as they wanted me there. The fairways are pretty forgiving off the tee. Trouble starts on the approach shots. The bunkers were in great shape. At times it was hard to concentrate, beautiful views everywhere. As a 15 handicap, my only advice would be to play the appropriate tees, the course plays long and the wind blows pretty hard. Great round!
