High on a bluff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway sits Grand Dunes Golf Course. With numerous elevation changes, 34 acres of lakes, wide Bermuda grass fairways and bentgrass greens, it is a truly spectacular golf destination. Drawing rave reviews in "Top Ten You Can Play" by Golf Magazine and found in the "Top 100 Residential Golf courses" by Golfweek magazine, this course is supreme in design and conditioning and should not be missed!

This course is my son’s favorite. We just played 7-19-10. The staff was very friendly. We found the course conditions to be superb for July. This course offers excellent golf holes, excellent conditions, and an excellent setting. The holes and views along the waterway are especially great. We can’t wait to go back.

Good Layout, fairways were tight lies and had a few too many dead spots in fairways.

Played April 27th and April 28th. Conditions on the 27th were extremely windy. Great layout, very forgiving off the tees when played from the right ones. Fairways were firm and fast. Greens were hard but very smooth. Many shots will run through the green and off when not landed in the right place. Greens putt fast and true with many breaks and undulations. Par threes were challenging (especially in the wind). If you have GPS bring one. Highly recommend playing this course.

We've been playing Grande Dunes now for 5 yrs. When we play other courses after this one, it's a big letdown. You can't beat the Dunes.

Loved the course and people. Would definitely go again. The only negative was that we started off on the back nine and when we came around, we were behind 3 groups which added about 30 minutes to the play on the front nine.

Great course, tough, in top condition. Some of the marshalls need some training in course etiquette. One of our foursomes was harassed for being slow when they had no one behind them. That foursome finished in just over 4 hrs. These are events that keep a group of 28 players from coming back.

Service amongst the clubhouse and starters was outstanding. Great facility and well run. Course was laid out nicely, but the February conditions were 'average' at best and 'below' compared to other courses we played - fairways were thin, tee boxes okay, and greens average.

I could play Grande Dunes all week. What a class operation! We enjoyed a very reasonable breakfast in the grill, excellent range, we were surprised to find out we could leave the paths! Great drainage, awesome layout, a few holes play along the Intracoastal, great variety of holes and tees to play. Easily in the top 5 in M.B. in my humble opinion! Go play Grande Dunes!

Our group of 8 just finished playing here the Monday before Thanksgiving. The layout is terrific and the conditions were great but we won't be returning due to the fact that they don't have a pace of play policy or anyone with the backbone to enforce one. Our front 9 took almost 3 hours so while at the turn waiting for two groups to clear the 10th hole we went to the pro shop to inquire about the slow play. We were informed that there was one group that was holding up the other 9 foursomes that were playing the morning. When we asked why someone doesn't hurry this group along or move them back into position ( two things that are very common at the courses I play in Chicagoland) they replied that they didn't do that sort of thing. It's just a tough golf course. Not the right answer. When we completed our 6-hour round we went back to the pro shop to see if there was anyone in charge that we could speak to about our unpleasant round. No one in charge could be found or saw us coming and ran the other way. Thanks to their less than professional treatment of our group we won't have to worry about picking this course again. Congrats Grande Dunes you have just joined Tidewater as some of the worst pro shop staff in the country!

Didn't like being hurried for our replay. They said we had to go to the tee. When we were on the course there was no one behind us or in front of us. That angered us.

Was not told by your golf coordinator that the greens were aerified. I found out later that Grande Dunes did not tell your golf coordinator about the condition of the greens as well as the fairways. This was not worth the money at all. Wish I wouldn't have traveled the twenty-five miles to go there.

Course that plays even longer than the yardage on the scorecard with its elevated greens and the wind off the Intracoastal. The players assistant on 8/27/09 was not very friendly and quite arrogant about the difficulty of the course. Verti-cutting on greens this large makes two-putting impossible!

Nice, well-maintained course. Starter and grounds staff were not particularly polite or accommodating. Had a 7:30 AM start time - starter had us begin on the back 9 and had significant bottle-neck on front 9. Took 3+ hours to complete the front 9. Will not likely play here again.,Nice, well-maintained course. Starter and grounds staff were not particularly polite or accommodating.

Commented on January 12, 2009: "I played this course a couple of times in the past year. The green complexes are really different in that the areas around the green have the grass cut down. It is better to putt the ball when off the green than to chip it because they are cut so tight. Like Scotland. Different for Myrtle Beach."
