The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A big, bold Roger Rulewich design set high on a bluff over the Intracoastal Waterway, widely regarded as one of Myrtle Beach's premier splurge rounds for its scenery and grand scale.
Consistently praised
- Golfers rave about the Waterway holes, especially the par-3 14th off a bluff with a forced carry and the par-4 9th along the water.
- Wide fairways and very large greens give it a grand, championship feel that lands it among the area's top-rated courses.
Worth knowing
- It is a premium splurge, so golfers expecting a bargain should set expectations; the big greens reward players who attack the correct sections.
Golfers recommend
- Aim for the proper part of the huge greens, not just the center, to leave makeable birdie looks.
- Note there are two Grande Dunes courses; the Resort Club is the public one, the Members Club is private.
