Frequently Asked Questions

What's the deal with those famous oceanfront holes at Wild Dunes Links?

You've heard right, the final two holes, 17 and 18, are truly spectacular and play right along the Atlantic. Be prepared for the wind to be a major factor here, often requiring an extra club or two, but the views are absolutely worth it. It's a dramatic finish that you won't soon forget.

When's the best time of year to play the Wild Dunes Links Course?

We recommend visiting in the spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) for ideal playing conditions. The weather is usually fantastic - warm but not sweltering - and you'll avoid the peak summer crowds and humidity that can make a round less enjoyable. Early morning tee times are always a smart move to beat the heat and potential afternoon breezes.

How challenging is the Wild Dunes Links Course for an average golfer?

While those ocean holes get all the attention, the entire course presents a fair but engaging challenge. You'll find strategic bunkering and some tight tree-lined fairways on the front nine that demand accuracy, so don't just focus on the finish. It's a course that rewards thoughtful shot placement over pure power, making it enjoyable for a range of handicaps if you pick the right tees.

Should I walk or ride at Wild Dunes Links, and what are the practice facilities like?

We definitely recommend taking a cart here; the distances between some holes can be a bit of a trek, especially in the heat. As for practice, you'll find a solid driving range and a good putting green near the clubhouse, which are perfect for warming up. Get there a bit early to dial in your short game before tackling the course.
