Wild Dunes Resort

a good course inside a gated community. Good for the money.

Course was OK. Tee area was a bit beat up. Greens were just seeded but ball rolling true.

They didn’t advise it was cart path only due to seeding. The greens were in bad shape because nobody in South Carolina must know how to fix a divot. I started at 2:30 and did not get to finish the last four holes.

Staff was friendly. Course was in pretty good shape overall Tight fairways so better hit straight of the tee. Greens are however some of the smallest I’ve ever played in 40 years I’ve been playing. Pace of play was terrible. We started at 2:30 and couldn’t finish our round due to getting too dark. Didn’t get to play last two holes. And for the price there are much better courses to play! They want around $250 for prime spots in early November when we played. I paid 100 for 2:30 spot. I don’t mind paying up but this course is r worth it.

The course has evolved over time but still is fun to play. While it’s called a links course, anyone who has played a true American links course- think Pebble or Kiawah will be disappointed if they are expecting the same. The marshes, trees, elevation changes, wildlife (deer, eagles, gators…) and terrific course conditions make this a must play for golfers. The final 3 holes run along the sea and make it a scenic and challenging end to the round. The conversion of the finishing hole from a par 5 to a par 3 due to erosion will leave those who played the course in the past, wanting more. This course is very playable for every skill level, but very challenging. You have to hit it straight, avoid the trees and rough, and find small greens that roll true but can be tough to read. The course has begun to overseed , the greens were still excellent. Be sure to check with the pro shop when booking to ensure the fairways and greens are in good condition. The cost is on the high side, but it should give you the opportunity to enjoy a great course and create some lasting memories.
