Grande Dunes Resort Club

Greens are rock hard, brown, and bermuda. Not bent as in the description.

Highly over rated. Nice layout. Greens are a disaster. Rock hard. Impossible to hold a shot. Brown. Dry. Extremely Fast. Not worth the green fee. Many better courses in MB for much less money. First time playing and will be the last. Something must be wrong that they have left their greens get so bad.

A lot can happen in 20 years. Grande Dunes opened at the height of pre-Recession golf mania, when the majority of courses were built to be big and extroverted. Last year, after years of typical course evolution, its large, jagged-edged bunkers and huge, amoeba greens were restored, with some reductions in sand square-footage as a sop to playability. The project was a success, and now Grande Dunes is ready to continue to stand as something of a museum-piece of a bygone era in course development, and one of the top options in Myrtle Beach’s central district. The newly-renovated clubhouse restaurant, Terrazza19, is one of the beach’s best, too.

New sand in bunkers made for exceptional bunker play. The course has great large greens with lots of undulations. Tee boxes are also large and well maintained. The fairways were also large and wide on most holes. Several holes are right along the intercostal waterway which makes for some wonderful viewing. I played the white tees. Next time I will probably move back to the blue tees. This course would be a monster if played from the tips. As one example, #8 is a par 3 that plays towards a green right on the canal. Yardage from the back tee box…241. Yeah. Going to need a golf shot to hit the green.

You honestly couldn’t ask for a nicer coat at the cost.Everything from the time we checked in to lunch after the round was about all you could ask for and more. Would definitely play here again on our next golf trip

This course plays long and has an awesome track and there is a test every hole

Grande Dunes was a nice track with a cool layout. I played the day after a couple inches of rain so course was very wet. Green speeds were down but were in great shape along with the fairways.

This course has lots of water and lots of White stake OB so make sure you bring some balls. Great gps to help you along way. I was a big fan of holes 4-7. And then a big fan of 15-18 beautiful scenery. Thought you would see a little bit more of the intercoastal waterway but oh well. Good option to play but thought the price was a bit high. Overall good experience.

PS the Starter was Outstanding. One of the best ive seen.

One of the best parts of the course are views of the intercoastal waterway, along with generous fairways and good conditions. Loved the GPS in the carts which sped up play.
Greens are NOT bent grass as it says on several sites but have been changed over to championship Bermuda. As expected these have a very hard surface. Great for many rounds of golf, not so great for shot making.
First time I've played the course, am a 8 handicap and enjoyed it. Greens rolled good and medium fast. Plenty of bunkers guarding the greens but placed fairly to not overly challenge the average golfer. Conditions seemed good from tee to green.
Staff was okay but we only interacted with the person taking payment. Most staff were careful amid the pandemic. However, the bag guys still want to take your bag and walk 5 feet to put on the cart without wearing masks, gloves and/or changing gloves or wiping hands between bags, no indication if they are tested each day, no distancing, etc. I know SC has different requirements than other states, but they should give the option to put our own bags on the cart and maintain distance. Another course wiped down our whole cart including the bag strap for us.
As expected beer was almost 5 bucks a can. That's a bit ridiculous. Cut the price in half and see sales go up triple vs watching many "sneak" beer onto the course.

I would play here again however, and had a really nice time with friends.

Played here before for a lot more money and course was in good shape with lightening fast greens. This time even though it should have been great for the time of year, the greens had bare spots in places with aerated squares on a lot of greens. The fairways were just okay but subpar also. Doubt will play here again as the price is usually steep but with COVID cut rate of 49 it was about right. Nice facility in sub par condition for this time of year. The reason I wouldnt go back is I was assured the greens were in and I quote '" PHENOMENAL " shape before I booked the day before. A LIE. i didnt drive 5 hours to play a subpar course and won't again.

This is a must play course in the founders club package. The layout is pretty open with the best GPS system in Myrtle beach guiding you around the course. The practice facilities are top notch. Golf balls are waiting for you on the driving range and the short game practice area is as good as it gets. Only negative is the greens were top dressed which made them a little hard to read. The greens were not breaking like the last time we played here and I believe the top dressing was the reason. This golf course is so much fun to play. The views of the inter coastal waterway are unreal. The houses on the course are unreal almost showing off. This course is a must play.

This is one of the nicest courses I've played in MB. The layout and conditions are absolutely exceptional. There are some great views on the Intercostal and some lavish homes on property. The fairways and greens were perfect. Plenty of water and bunkers out there but it's all right in front of you. The staff was pleasant and courteous. A must play.

This has to be my least favorite courses in Myrtle Beach. It is a bland layout. Nothing memorable about it except the conditions because it is in bad shape.. This course needs some serious work. For the price it is not worth it.

course was the favorite from half the group. Very scenic along the waterway and not having to pay for range balls sits well with the group. Staff at course was very professional and helpful. WE WILL BE BACK!!!

I played yesterday with 6 other friends. Being a PrimeTime member we decided to spend some extra $ and play Grande Dunes. They lost several greens last year and were advised they had been repaired. I live in the area and play weekly. This course was the worst of any I have played this year..,tee boxes, greens, fairways. We have always enjoyed this track and looked forward to returning....not this time. It will be along time before we decide to return. There are many other PrimeTime / Founders courses that are in excellent condition. Hopefully things will improve.

When Grande Dunes opened in the early 2000s, it brought a new aesthetic to Myrtle Beach. It took the Tuscan tiled roofs and general Mediterranean feel that abounds at many Florida communities and introduced it as an upscale option on the Grand Strand. A proud clubhouse and one of the area's best practice facilities anchor the Resort Club.

The golf course very much follows that same sensibility. It's big, broad-shouldered and affects an air of luxury that visiting golfers enjoy. The course is always in good shape, and the stretch of holes along the Intracoastal Waterway is memorable. The course also tests one's lag-putting skills, as the greens are large (though seem to have shrunk a bit in recent years). It is one of the more sought-after courses in Myrtle Beach, and mostly delivers on its promises.

Friendly and courteous staff. Course was in excellent condition despite the recent rains. Interesting and challenging layout with surprising elevation change for the area. Green were in excellent condition.

Played here today as this was one of the only courses in the area letting golfers off the cart path. Course is in great shape. Greens are really good considering the beating these courses took from the ice in March. We were very happy with everything this facility offered from the range w/ free range balls and the chipping areas. Practice green was very comparable to course green conditions. Lots of awesome sights to see on this course. If there is a negative it would be ranger not pushing slow groups to pick it up but we still had a great round. Thumbs up Grande Dunes.

We try to play Grande Dunes every time we come to Myrtle because it is such a great layout and usually in excellent shape. This time, however, the course was in bad shape. The fairways were patchy in some spots; however, this was not a major issue because you could easily roll the ball onto some grass when necessary. The major issue was the greens. They were almost all painted and many had huge bare spots with no grass at all. They rolled at a decent pace, but were rather bumpy. We paid $59 for the round so we weren't too upset because the layout is so great, but given the current condition, it is not a $100 course.
