Style Links
Par 72
Length 7618 yards
Slope 142
Rating 77.3

Golf at Grande Dunes and Beach Club in North Myrtle Beach is played on a grand scale. The course is set high on a bluff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, with panoramic views of the waterway and maritime forest. It's 7,618 yards, with a very difficult slope rating of 141. Five holes play along the waterway. The greens are grand, averaging 10,000 square feet with eight rotating pin placements, ensuring the course changes significantly from day to day. There is plenty of water, to be sure: the par-5 17th hole has water running down the entire left side and a moat fronting the green, for example. There are also some nice elevation changes; the par-3 14th hole has about a 65-foot drop, with the green jutting out over the waterway.

Pricey Myrtle Beach course

Overpriced; greens not in great shape; unnecessarily long round, no Marshall's making any effort to move things along. Staff very helpful, however

Fair but Tough Layout

Offers a wide range of options on course difficulty from 6300 to 7700 yards. A fun course that is fair and no trick holes. Very good condition for early spring golf. I'd play it again.

Very well maintained and fun to play

The greens and fairways were in excellent condition. Course layout was interesting to play with a good mix of hazards; water, sand, trees. Pace of play was excellent.

Great course, a bit difficult from back tee's but they offer many teeing area's so it all works out if you play to your ability.

Greta course in even better shape. New greens are excellent. Pace of play was on the slow side and it took us about 5 hrs plus to finish. Love the course and pace was the only negative about it. The staff was great from the pro shop to the bar and starters. I would definately recommend the resort course at Grande Dunes.

Excellent course.

I have played this this course a dozen times over the past ten years and only once in November was it in not great condition. I plan on returning as often as I vacation in the Myrtle Beach area.

In Great Shape

Fast and true greens, great layout, reasonable price and friendly service. My buddy and I filtered out many area courses down to this course and Dunes Golf& Beach Club. Both were exceptional for this being mid-February.

Requires every club in the bag!

Excellent layout in great condition. Greens were just re-done and were excellent for putting. Don't play the tees too far back as there are planty of challenges without making the course too long. We actually moved up a tee after 9 which made it more enjoyable.

Beautiful Views

In great shape. Slow play. Staff was a bit stuffy - I've never been quizzed on my confirmation number when using GolfNow. Once I provided the number, they then asked for the course's confirmation number(???). Then I got the guess-we'll-let-you-play look.
