Great course

Beautiful course in great condition. Really confusing getting to 5th and 14th Holes though. Maybe marks little better? Also, course could use more yardage markers. Loved the course otherwise.

Bring at least 24 balls.

This course has the most narrow fairways I have ever played in my life, and I have played some countries in USA and internationally, but what makes it so complicated is that the roughs are to 80% out of bounds where you will not be able to find your ball (water hazards, swamp or Ocean). I lost 9 balls and I usually finish with my 1st ball, maybe lose 1-2 on a bad day or difficult course. So be prepared. We saw an alligator. On another note, the greens are small and extremely extremely slow, which I disliked.

I will play again just for the challenge of not losing 9 balls!

I was very pleased with the conditions and the layout. Had a great time and my only birdie came on the par 3 18th.

Greens were very nice and plenty fast.

Poor greens/ bad value for price tag

I was really disappointed in the course. The greens were more than shaggy- in some cases patches of 1” growth stuck out with a different type of grass...and not uniform in length, which meant had to roll though higher length patches on the greens on longer putts. Probably rolled at a 7 on a stimpmeter but even slower in the morning with the dew still on the grass. The tee boxes were also in poor condition and uncut. Cut the greens please.

The fairways are very narrow and lost balls are pretty common if you don’t hit it perfectly straight. For the price tag I expected much much more. Didn’t see any driving ranges to warm up either...maybe I missed it.

Bummed I picked this course on the one day I was able to play on vacation. I thought at $120 it would be a much nicer course.

Brutal Pace

I understand at all golf courses you have to wait from time to time. We were backed up 3 to 4 groups deep because of a group or couple being slow, belligerent, dancing, being loud and screaming. IF 3-4 GROUPS ARE WAITING ON ONE HOLE YOU HAVE A PROBLEM IN THE FRONT. We started at 3:30 and got through 14 holes as we had to quit at 7:20 due to no light. We were starting hole 10 3 hours after we started. For $80 bones at 3pm I would expect not to put up with bs but I guess that doesn’t keep the trash out and nobody at the course were on top of this. I won’t get a refund on the 4 holes I didn’t get to play nor will I know what I actually shot. Needless to say I wasn’t thrilled with my value here as I paid 80 bucks for basically the front 9. I would never pay $200 for the 8am tee time here especially when they let people do whatever they want. Course was in good shape for October.

Worth The Money.

This course was worth every penny. We paid about $90 for the 2pm tee time and loved it. Awesome views, course layout is fun, and challenging. Will be playing again next time I am in the area.

Greens are horrible and definitely not worth the money

There are MUCH Better courses to play in this area for much less money. Greens are almost lost. Tee boxes are not much better. Was also cart path only making it a horrible day of golf on the harbor course. I hear the other course is in better shape

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!
