Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Grande Dunes Resort Course stand out from other Myrtle Beach courses?

You'll immediately notice the dramatic elevation changes here, a real rarity for Myrtle Beach, especially along the Intracoastal Waterway. The course truly maximizes those stunning views, particularly on holes like the par-3 14th, which plays right over the water. It's a refreshing departure from the flatter layouts you often find in the area.

How challenging is Grande Dunes for an average golfer, and what should I expect from the course conditions?

Grande Dunes offers a fair but firm test; it's challenging but not unfairly so, with generous landing areas if you play smart. We've always found the course conditions to be immaculate, from the tee boxes to the greens, which roll true and fast. You're in for a well-maintained and enjoyable round.

When is the best time to play Grande Dunes to avoid crowds and get the best value?

We highly recommend visiting in the shoulder seasons - late spring (April-May) or early fall (September-October) - to enjoy pleasant weather and fewer crowds. While it's a premium course, you'll often find better package deals during these times compared to the peak summer or winter months. Book your tee time well in advance, especially if you're traveling with a group.

Are there any specific holes at Grande Dunes I should pay extra attention to, or a "must-do" experience?

Absolutely, the stretch from holes 13 through 15 is truly memorable, culminating in the iconic par-3 14th that plays directly along the Intracoastal Waterway. Don't rush through these; take a moment to soak in the incredible views and the unique challenge each presents. It's the kind of golf experience you'll be talking about long after your round.

What's the clubhouse experience like at Grande Dunes, and are there good practice facilities?

The clubhouse at Grande Dunes is impressive, offering a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere perfect for a post-round drink or meal with fantastic views. Their practice facilities are top-notch, featuring a large driving range and excellent short game areas, so arrive early to properly warm up. It's a full-service experience that complements the quality of the course.
