Wild Dunes Harbor Course, designed by Tom Fazio, is said to be cut from some of the prettiest real estate in South Carolina. Water makes up a great deal of the Harbor Course layout. After all, half the course runs along the world’s longest water hazard, The Intracoastal Waterway. Fazio claims the Harbor Course to be one of his favorites. "Working on the Harbor Course was very satisfying to me as a designer because we had to create everything. It was a very challenging, and ultimately, a very satisfying project."

Excellent Course, BIG TIME FEEL.

First, the staff was absolutely amazing! John in the pro shop was absolutely fantastic, he not only gave me precise directions around the property, he sent me out at the perfect time. You really have to understand the groove of the day to pull that off, he nailed it. Well done John!

Jon, cart guy was a lot of fun, and genuinely showed me the hospitality you would expect down south. I caught him at the end of his shift, so he was able to show me around the course. Which I appreciated, it almost felt as if I had my own personal caddie. I played really well, on a challenging Fazio course that I don't think I would have enjoyed without Jon's directions. Thanks a lot Jon, you were first-class man (special thanks to the leadership for allowing this to enhance your patrons experience.)

As far as the amenities, the driving range lives at the far end of the property, the balls are dispensed by a machine. Leave your driver in the bag along long woods. The range is maybe 215 yards long, it finesse driven situated on a island, very unique.

The course is awesome, tee boxes were perfectly cut, fairways were rolling evenly hardly any rough, and the greens were quick but very smooth. The back nine really challenges your shot making skills, considering how many par 3s the Harbor Course has. Par 5s for long hitters present a well of eagle and birdie opportunities.

I had a great time at Wild Dunes. My only draw back at Wild Dunes Harbor Course was a grounds-man by the name of Greg, very rude and abrasive disposition. Very rude to me and had negative things to say about the pro-shop. Which was funny because everyone I came in touch with were PHENOMINAL! Particularly the pro-shop guys.

I'll definitely put this course on my list, and recommend to everyone that can appreciate the level of Wild Dunes. Keep up the good work guys!

A fun and challenging yet, scoreable course which has good tee options for all levels.

The course condition was outstanding and way better than other courses in the area that seemed to have suffered more from the recent flooding. The greens were very well manicured.

I will be back soon!

Inaccurate description

Course was great, and staff was friendly. Only bad thing to say is about the posting on golf now. It says it comes with practice balls, a meal, and a drink in the included price which is inaccurate. We chose this deal because of what was supposed to be included and felt cheated by the description.

Played alone

I’m a tourist. Played alone as almost nobody on course. Usually I’m paired with someone. Most courses I’ve played have been much busier. Course in good shape with fast greens

Cold but enjoyable

Even though it was in the low 40’s when I started, my round was thoroughly enjoyable. The course was in great shape, especially the greens. Finished my round in a little over 3 hours. The staff was pleasant even with the cold weather.

If you find fun to drive carts

The layout is ridiculous. You spend nearly as much time driving around houses then playing golf.

Well kept in December. Not overly challenging but really tested the game. Hot dog and fries were solid, but only saw cart girl once in 18 holes!! BYOB

Fun, but not at this price point.

I have had the opportunity to play the harbour and links course many times and you can tell the links is much more looked after and provides the best overall experience, quality and feel. Although the harbour is a tight and technical track with some great views of the intercostal waterway, you can’t help but to notice that the maintenance is just not at the same calibre as the neighbouring links course. The greens seemed inconsistent. Some soaking wet and others bone dry. Some features of pathways and golf course landscaping seemed a little forgotten compared to its sister course the links. There was also some ongoing construction in and around some holes but this was control of the course but local utilities. What is most important to me is value for my dollar. What am I getting for that green fee on and off the course? I can’t say that it is worth $130 a round but closer to $70. A nice fun course but just not $130 nice.

Greens looked terrible

The greens had been aerated and no one told us. Had to wait on every single shot. Not worth the price. I’ve played on public courses for a third of the price in much better shape.
