Solid course

Solid course at Wild Dunes ocean Course. Some Greens and bunkers were like cement, but most were good. I look forward to my next visit!

Nice scenery and course!

Love the harbor side course at Wild Dunes in SC. The course was in excellent condition and the weather (slight overcast) couldn't have been any better. The greens need just a bit of love.. they are stamp size (I mean, like 5 x 10 yds at times) and they could be re-surfaced / seeded. But still - excellent course and very good value! Bring your "A" game; there is more water around the course than you can shake a stick at! :)

Best Public Course in Charleston

Played the Links Course and have to say it is in spectacular shape. Everything about this experience was great. The staff is friendly and helpful, the course is immaculate and our twosome played 18 holes in a little over 2-1/2 hours on a Saturday afternoon and we felt like we were taking our time!

The course itself is mix of everything. You feel safe taking driver off the tee because of the wider fairways, but there are lots of well protected, tucked away greens that make it interesting to say the least. Add in a strong ocean breeze and it's one of the more challenging and fun courses to play in all of Charleston.

I usually play at Charleston National but I'm seriously considering making this my home course. If you live here you should add this course to the rotation, and if you're just passing through this is a must play while you're here!

Great Course

I consider this the best course available to the public in Charleston. The course was in fantastic condition, and offers a good variety of holes. IMO this course is slightly easier than the Harbor course, but can still gobble up golf balls if not hitting straight off the tee. The finishing holes are picturesque. I wish I would have had the chance to play 18 as a par 4 before they were forced to shorten it to a par 3.

Challenging Course

Do not be fooled by the short layout on the scorecard. This course plays long and is very challenging off the tee. I absolutely love the Wild Dunes course, and consider them the best public courses in Charleston. However, make sure you pack a few extra sleeve's.

Juice Not Worth the Squeeze

Move this course 30 minutes inland and it’s $25 a round, plus a sandwich at the turn.

No food or drinks

They did not tell us no food or drinks would be available prior to the round. They had some bottles of water out but did not offer anything else on the course. No water while out on the course. If we had known we would have brought our own.

Shaggy greens!

Beautiful layout and scenery! Bunkers are in poor shape and greens are shaggy and bumpy. I am sure this is due to reduced staff because of The Virus.

This was a joke

So long story short my yearly beach trip to Isle of Palms was ruined when the tee times for the last two weeks still being available and the date today (6-28-20) to find out that they wre still advertising hot deals sending out deals to find out they were not open for COVID 19. It’s a complete joke. It’s so unprofessional I don’t even know if I am on the right island. The standards for first time players has to be better and I’m extremely disappointed in the so called amazing courses unprofessionalism to let genders know of corse cancelations. I’m

Best Value in Charleston

There is no other course that offers the value this course does. We play various courses frequently, and have yet to find a better option.

Friendly staff and a beutiful scenery

A warm welcome at the beginning and the whole course presented hinself in a good shape after weeks of bad weather. We had a sunny day with only a light wind. Some holes must be played tactically, otherwise your ball might be in the water.

Wont be the last time, we teed off here.

Superb

Our group battled 20 mph winds day we played. Greens are immaculate.

Being a former asst super at several

courses....I look at everything. Only downside was 18th hole is a par 3. Mother Nature and ocean are the reason. No worries. Beautiful views and from tee to green very consistent. Hats of to the grounds crew and super. Itching to play again in less than 20-25 mph winds
