Worth the money*

Was able to play this course thanks to a significant discount through GolfNow, and it was worth every penny of the discount rate! Don’t know if I would pay full price to play it ($260?!), but definitely worth it at about half that!

Wild Dunes, A great golf Experience

We played an afternoon round on a very hot day! The staff in the clubhouse was courteous and helpful. The cart crew were also very nice, they added extra complimentary waters in the cooler at our request. The started was a very nice Gentleman that gave us a little history of the course and shared some course knowledge on #1 before we teed off. The course was in immaculate shape considering the downpours the night before. The 17th hole is beautiful with the Atlantic Ocean and Beach just out of bounds, very picturesque. 5 star experience was shared by our group! Lunch in the clubhouse restaurant was also very good!

Only looks good in pictures

For the money it’s terrible. Picturesque views. But freshly aerated greens, constant construction work, and no real clubhouse don’t make for a great time. The overpriced drinks from the beverage cart couldn’t even make up for the 30yard wide fairways.

Did not operate as a resort caliber course.

Having played this course a few years ago, was excited to come back after some recent renovations.

Had a 730 tee time on a Wednesday. Showed up at 700 to warm up and check in. Pro shop staff hadn’t arrived yet, so we couldn’t buy range balls.

Went to putt while we waited, but were told by grounds crew that the putting green was closed due to needing to water it.

Pro shop finally opened around 720 - so no time to hit balls before we teed off.

Staff said nothing about the greens being micro-punched on Monday or that we were starting on 10 that day (16-18 as your closing holes are the reason you play the links course as they finish along the ocean).

Didn’t see a beverage cart at all during our round to get waters between the turn or the two coolers on the course.

Grounds crew was still mowing and raking while we were on our back nine.

Physical layout of the course was great - super playable course for all skill levels - but the experience left much to be desired, as compared to other resort courses in the southeast.

Nice but not great.

Courses along the water while on vacation are great, but as these things go, Harbor was ok.

Late July, the tee boxes were ragged, greens very slow, and sand bunkers and wash areas were pretty hard packed. The course did not offer a driving range (had to go down the street to a restricted distance patch). The clubhouse wasn’t notable. Golf carts were older.

We enjoyed our time, but this isn’t the Ocean Course, for sure.

Greens were aerated. Started on the back side which obviously had been aerated first and were recovering not good but ok. The front side Greens were perceptibly worse. Had called the pro shop before I made the green fee purchase and was told that they were lightly tined which unfortunately turned out not to be true. Great layout

Hotlanta Expectations

Short greens and way too many par 3’s

Course fairway in good condition but overgrown rough made it difficult if not impossible to find your ball. Marshall should have been more diligent on pace of play and outright rude golfers who intentionally hit down on us and instead of kicking them off the course after they were late for tee time and refused to join the 4 some additionally, according to the staff they were incredibly rude to the staff and disrespectful …other than that the staff was very pleasant.

Not worth the money

My opinion should be 25$ cheaper for the condition it was in.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Had an excellent time playing with folks I had not met before. The weather was perfect and that lent to having a good time also. The course was not in the same condition that it was the last time I played it. That said I would play it again.

expected better

decent track, but conditions on the harbor course are not nearly as nice as the links. Some real beat up greens, expected better for a resort course. Hot deal on golf now was a good value. it's tight in spots and half the greens are postage stamps. I wouldn't travel out of my way to play here, but I would for the the links course. If you are staying at wild dunes worth checking out once for the right price.
