Harbor at Wild Dunes Golf Links
About
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."

Good Value
Overall a good golf experience - I would recommend it to a friend. However, I played the Wild Dunes Links Course the following day and, if playing at Wild Dunes, would play the Links over the Harbor course hands-down (even though it is has a some higher fee).
The Harbor Course has a nightmare parking situation (it shares a small lot with the big hotel, tennis center and the beach) and if you don't know that in advance you better show up real early for your tee time. Also, there is no driving range.
As for the course, it is busy and has heavy traffic - like a reasonably priced, public course. Regardless, the course is in pretty good condition. The greens still evidenced aeration within the past month and showed heavy use, but overall rolled true and clean.
The layout is unique and is the first course I recall playing whose turn wasn't near the clubhouse or any other amenities (a halfway house). Given this, it would have been nice to have a beverage cart at some point (which we did not see at all).
To a man, the staff was friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome.
The pace of play was too slow for us - with a fair amount of waiting - however, we were a twosome and there were a lot of foursomes and we finished in about 4 hours, so the pace wasn't slow, just slower than we would have liked.
Bottom Line: A busy course but in as good of shape as you could expect for a heavily used public course. Layout was interesting with numerous pretty and unique holes. The downside is the lack of parking and no range. Overall, a good value (although I recommend the LInks Course just 2 miles down the road).
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.
Great course
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.
