The weather is fantastic, not too hot, and the course is typically in prime condition, making those ocean breezes feel just right.

You absolutely need to brace yourself for "Alligator Alley," holes 11 through 13. The par-5 13th, famously known as "Waterloo," is legendary- a dogleg left around Lake Singleton that demands precision and courage. It's a true test of nerve and strategy, and it's where many rounds are made or broken.

Is playing Dunes Golf & Beach Club worth the higher green fee compared to other Myrtle Beach courses?

Yes, it absolutely is worth the investment for a classic championship experience.

Consider it a splurge for a truly memorable round, not just another tee time.

How challenging is Dunes Golf & Beach Club for an average golfer, and what should I expect?
