Harbor Dunes Rain Day

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Facilities are fairly clean albeit a bit dated and little tired. Surrounding environment/neighborhood is mixed with some well kept areas and others showing serious neglect. Playing surfaces in great condition for the most part. Layout of course is a bit convoluted as it intertwines through neighborhoods. The cart distances between some holes are quite long. Fairways are narrow by contemporary course standards. Overall a reasonably good course 6/10. Weather was a bit dicey so the crowds were not there. Pace of play was great in that regard. A little spendy for value.

Great Conditions Especially for February

I enjoyed my round at Wild Dunes Links course. The conditions were fantastic. The fairways and greens rolled true and fast. The weather was great, 65 degrees in February! We played in 3 hours 45 minutes despite cart path only due to rain the previous day. I highly recommend playing here.

Fantastic Round

Great round of golf and even had a gator sighting! Greens were fairly quick and the fairways were in very good shape for January. Beautiful course. There’s no turn so make sure you’ve got everything you need at the start of the round! Really enjoyed the round, though.

Unforgettable Experience

I had an early tee time on a golf now deal. Keep in mind this deal was still very pricey. Staff helped with pairing me with another for the first group so we could go without anyone in front of us and we finished in under 3.5 hours.

We walked the course and couldn’t recommend this enough. Every inch of this course is well maintained and fun. I played in January after all.

Greens are fast but fair and large greens make putting very important. Many memorable holes including the last 3. I find it pretty funny that everyone is saying not enough holes on the beach. Also saying hate finishing on a par 3. I recommend a Google search of hurricanes and erosion. Looks like the 18th is close to being built back to par 5. That will be a cherry on top once they get this done.

The pro shop guy probably in his 30’s has the personality of a sand crab but other than that this course is a must visit if you are in the area.

Great all around golf experience

A beautifully maintained course. Yes the price tag is large. And maybe for that much you would expect the ocean to be in play on more than two holes. However this is truly a sensational golf course. A good variety of holes, conditions are awesome year round. Truly one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I think you can find anywhere.

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.
