We liked the course. Didn't like having to pre-pay.

The course was in overall good condition. Fairways were nicely mowed. Greens were in good condition and were a medium speed. Sand traps were hard packed as were the waste areas. The layout was good with the exception of #5. The tee box is a bit of a road trip from #4. Water on just about every hole. To be expected for a beach course. The staff was friendly. The cart guy asked if we had a lot of balls, which we did, and yes we lost of few to the water. The starter gave us a good preview of the course. There was a 2-some teeing off in from of us and we never saw them after teeing off. No one behind us. We had the place to ourselves. Not busy at all. The weather was perfect. Had a great time. Scored reasonably well. Pricey at $135 and I didn't like the online booking pre-pay. I recommend this course and I would play it again.

Wait a year to play…

Layout was good for a coastal South Carolina course. Greens were too furry bumpy and slow to make a reasonable putt more than 5 feet. The rough was too thick for the average golfer making it a frustrating experience. I would hold off playing here until the expected redo is finished.

Don’t be fooled by ratings. Don’t play here!

When we arrived the pro shop warned us that we should have lots of balls . Also that the greens were slow. Should have bailed but wanted to play golf that day.

The worst feature was the greens . Pro shop understated how bad. They were laughably slow. The fairways are tight with water everywhere.

They ran sprinklers on a few of the holes on the front nine. Why during the day when we are playing. Had to navigate around them with carts. Got wet.

The conditions on the back nine were terrible as most of the areas adjacent to fairways were under construction . They should have reduced the green fees as a result.

Ending up being one of the least enjoyable rounds I have had in a long time, Glad I only paid $110 but felt robbed as I should have only paid $50 or so.

When we complained afterwards the pro shop attendee just smirked, like this was just another day for him.

Nothing Special

The layout was nothing exciting, water on most holes, several blind shots, the bikers were filled with stones and the greens were the slowest I have played in a long time.

Great design

Course could have been in better shape - area has significant rain fall which made parts of the course flooded (including in middle of 1-2 fairways) and unfortunately the greens had also recently aerated so putting was a challenge.

Course design is great - 10th hole is personally the most breath taking - 17/18 along the ocean were also great.

Top notch staff and top notch course!!!

This is a course that you simply have to play! The challenge is there with smaller green. The scenery is throughout the course is a huge bonus, and the staff treats you so well. My son and I appreciate this gem eveeytime we are on vacation!!!

Very disappointed

Played Wild Dunes Harbor course with family on July 24, 2024. I was very disappointed in conditions. The greens were not only super slow, but they were bumpy as well. It was almost impossible to putt well. The bunkers were literally the worst I've ever seen. Not an ounce of sand in any of them. The highlight of the round was the refreshment cart, run by a young lady who was very courteous and very quick getting around the course. I expected much better conditions for the money.

Course conditions

Due to heavy rain overnight the conditions were cart path only. However the course was in remarkable condition.

Course was in rough shape to spend this much

Cool layout along the ICW, but course wasn’t in great shape. Greens were a little rough. I’d expect better for the price, but it’s not an outrageous cost, so probably worth a shot.

Great Course

Definitely worth playing. The course was in great condition and all the staff was very friendly. Hole 10 was fun with a steep incline and Hole 16-18 are beautiful on the water, we caught them during sunset. The range does not allow you to use your driver. I look forward to playing the links course again!
