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.

Love, Love this course

My husband and I come to Isle of Palms every December for a month. We love playing the Harbor course. It is a beautiful course and a "Thumbs Up" to the maintenance crew.

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

Pretty Muc as Good as it Gets

It was my first time playing this course, and other than it being cartpath only it was a great experience. Pace of play was great. The course was in excellent condition and the layout was great.

It was really quite good value for the money given how good the course is. I’d highly recommend that anyone visiting Charleston make the time to play this gem.

Truly Amazing

1st.I had my own issue getting to the right course but after a very friendly conversation, they were very accommodating.

Once I got to pro shop , I was in my cart (Alone) and was on the first tee.

The course was in great shape for the end of the season.

The layout is very playable. It was the links course but not a lot of undulations.,just enough.

The Greens were in pristine condition. Putting was a lot of fun.

Also one of the most picturesque places I’ve ever seen.

The last 3 holes were my favorite.

From start to finish I’d give it 5*****

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.

Robust course

Rained all morning but course held up for a 12n tee time. Varied holes with some undulation in the fairways. Thoroughly enjoyed the round.

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.

Ganz ok ,habe aber mehr erwartet

Würde weg von einem links course. Ausser Bahn 16,17,18 hat das nichts mit links course zu tun

Bevor ich wieder spielen würde,gehe ich noch andere Plätze in der Nähe spielen. Der Preis 169$ ist teuer für den Platz.
