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."

Overpriced

Average course with nice scenery. No cart path from hole 10-11. Got carts stuck in deep sand and had to push them out.

Had an excellent time playing with folks I had not met before. The weather was perfect and that lent to having a good time also. The course was not in the same condition that it was the last time I played it. That said I would play it again.

Enjoyed

I'm a hacker so my review won't hold up to most who are low handicappers.
That said, this was a very fun and challenging course to play. The course itself was well kept with excellent tee boxes, good cart paths, very nice fairways and very good greens. Greens seemed pretty fast which was a nice change of pace from the South Texas courses I've played. The weather was very windy which is to be expected from a coastal course.
Only two complaints was the confusing signage to hole 5 which is quite a distance from hole 4 and this place needs new carts. Ours sounded like the front wheel was going to fall off.
The staff was friendly and the drink cart passed us several times which was a huge benefit.

All said, I'd play this course again for sure if I had the opportunity.

Windy Day on the Harbor Course

Overall, I like this course. It causes you to think as there are a holes where positioning is more important than distance. This is definitely a shot-makers course as it is narrow and has plenty of water to swallow up miss directed shot. My only real criticisms concern the conditions of the bunkers which were hard, compacted sand, the amount of casual water, and the weird routing where between the fourth green and fifth tee you have to ride a half mile maze of cart paths. There was one golfer who became so confused that he went from the fourth green to the 13th tee and finished his round from there. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will continue to play here several times each year.

Really liked this course

We golfed in and around the area for 10 days last week. And this was one of the most pleasant courses we played.

Very Disappointing

The entire experience was disappointing. When we got to the course, the parking lot was closed, so we had to find our way to a garage. I carried my clubs to the drop off area. The attendant did not help me in any way at all. He was not friendly and seemed to be there because he had to be. I checked in and they know I had a rider with me. They charged $25 for the rider, which was not outrageous, other than the course was anything but busy. They did not have a range to warm up on. I drove over to the starter and he let me off early. I followed a 4 some, which quite frankly I did not mind. There was no one behind me until I reached the 17th hole. So much for being busy. The ranger was really friendly and together with the starter, the only people with whom I had a positive interaction. When I finished the round, I brought back the cart and a fellow cleaned my clubs an took them to the drop off rack. From there I had to carry my clubs to my car. They could have let me take the cart to my car, which would have made it easier for me, I cannot blame the course for the weather, but it was cold and somewhat windy. They consider themselves a resort course, but it is not. I have played much better for the price.

Just average experience

Played the course on a cloudy and windy cold day. Temps never got above 50 degrees. Played with two others who had never played the course and were less than average golfers. Didn't mind since I had my own cart and was out just to experience the course.
The biggest disappointment was the greens. They seemed to have something growing on them that was not the normal grass. Crabgrass? They were terrible and you couldn't putt on many of them. I hope that this is just a seasonal thing.
Very little staff - no beverage cart, nobody to take bag off and on the cart, etc.
Probably not worth the money.

Great course

Super friendly staff - Bag attendants, starter, pro shop staff, and cart girl. All were very friendly and accommodating. Course was challenging and very well maintained and location can’t be beat. My son and I played 36 and can’t wait to come back and play it again.

great course

1st time playing the course. Fairways were green due to grass and not painted which is amazing for this time of year, greens were fast but not as fast as the practice green. Course was a bit tight/narrow in a number of fairways but considering the length, you could score well if you had good ball control. greens rolled true, small but not the smallest in the area. Staff were helpful and friendly. Definitely worth the price for the quality playing conditions.
