My son and I just returned from Myrtle Beach and played 2 rounds at the Dunes course. The staff was very friendly, especially Bob the starter, on both days. We found the course conditions were superb for July. This course is the complete package, excellent golf holes, excellent conditions, and an excellent setting. We can’t wait to go back.

The best, well-rounded, fair but challenging course I have played at the beach. The rough is a penalty due to the thickness, but yet short enough to easily find your ball. The people are great. A wonderful golfing experience.

Great course. Thoughtful layout, great condition. All good. My only complaint is that they should provide you with more info about the course. All I got was a scorecard and that didn't even show the hole layouts. This was especially confusing on the famous #13 "Waterloo" hole, which is very deceptive your first time through. Aside from that I loved it and look forward to playing it again.

I began playing at the Dunes 25+ years ago. The course is now playing at a very high level. I will recommend to my golf group that we return for further play.

Played Dunes on May 14th and it was in great shape as always. Although, pace of play wasn't great. We have been playing this course for 13 years and this year was by far the slowest round. Maybe the ranger took off that day. Advice would be to play it on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

Typical Robert Trent Jones course with big greens and bunkers, very fast greens. Tee positions created too many long par fours to elevated greens, and short par fives. Difficult course for higher handicap players.

Played the course for the first time, 13th hole " Waterloo" is unique, general rating of the course too high - it's not so exceptional, more comfortable tee times are blocked by members.

Nothing I have played in Myrtle Beach beats the Dunes. They have done a lot to modernize the course condition, and the staff works very hard to create a good experience. They will take care of you ... the Dunes is a fair, fun and still very demanding challenge. Outstanding!

A league of its own. I had played all of the other top 15 MB beach according to Golf Digest before playing Dunes in early July this year. We normally play in October and it is almost impossible to get a tee time and also very pricey. In July we got a tee time at a reasonable rate. It is classic design, tough but peaceful course, all the obstacles are there but no gimmicks or surprises. Be sure to putt well, but you are in for 4 hours of pure pleasure. The only low point would be the snobby lady behind the pro shop counter who seemed to smile at the members but visitors seemed to annoy her.

Played June 20, 2008: "Three groups from the staff at the Dunes stood out - the attendants meeting our group at 18 to clean our clubs and just have a friendly conversation, especially when they were about to watch the CEO and his 'friends' from Samsung Corp. tee off; the course marshals, always looking to help and inquire as to how our round was going; and the young lady at the grill/bar offering local knowledge of restaurants and pubs openly, and with a pleasant and friendly outlook. That's what the term 'Ambassador' is all about, and especially when you are the public's connection to any business."
