The Dunes Golf and Beach Club Course Review

The Dunes Golf and Beach Club is arguably one of the best, if not the best golf course in Myrtle Beach, which is very impressive, considering that it has over one hundred other ones to contend with in the area. The Dunes Golf and Beach Club was built way back in 1948 and its initial design wears the signature of Robert Trent Jones Sr., while remodels took place in 1978 and 1993. Keep in mind that youll be dealing with a private golf resort, available just for its members and their guests, though you may be allowed to play it via selected hotels. The Dunes Golf and Beach Club was ranked 52th in Golf Digests Top 100 Greatest Public Courses in America as per its 2013-2014 issue and 16th in its home state, South Carolina that is.

The design has a parkland feel, as opposed to what people usually expect, i.e. a dunes/links feel, with several water hazards coming into play and gentle contours all over the course. While playing the courses signature hole youll notice a Beware of Alligators sign right next to the tee box, which is something youll never see while playing home in Oklahoma if you know what I mean. Overall, the Dunes Golf and Beach Club golf course is a pure joy from start to finish, featuring solid holes throughout the property and it definitely makes a strong argument for being the crme de la crme in Myrtle Beach. The parkland sitting feels very different, in a good way I mean, when compared to its upper end competitors in the region, while the conditioning is exemplary. Bottom line, the Dunes Golf and Beach Club is a challenging, championship grade golf course, designed and built on an ideal piece of real estate, boasting its sandy, rolling terrain along the ocean shore, with old and majestic trees framing its fairways.
