Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time of year to play Dunes Golf Club for the best experience?

We highly recommend visiting Dunes Golf Club in the spring or fall. You'll find the weather is typically milder, offering a more comfortable round before the summer heat truly sets in or after it breaks. The course conditions are usually pristine during these shoulder seasons, with firm fairways and true-rolling greens.

What's the most challenging or memorable aspect of playing Dunes Golf Club?

Without a doubt, it's navigating the back nine, especially holes 14 through 16, where the course truly embraces its 'dunes' character. The wind becomes a significant factor here, demanding precise club selection and creative shot-making to avoid the deep bunkers and natural fescue. You'll remember these holes long after your round.

Is playing Dunes Golf Club a good value, and what should I expect regarding green fees?

Dunes Golf Club sits in the premium tier for green fees, but we absolutely believe it's worth the investment for the unique experience. You're paying for a meticulously maintained course with stunning natural beauty and a layout that challenges every part of your game. Expect fees to range from $150-$250, depending on the season and time of day.

How does the course play, and what are the typical conditions at Dunes Golf Club?

You'll find Dunes Golf Club plays firm and fast, especially when the wind picks up, which it often does. The bentgrass greens are consistently quick and roll true, but they have subtle undulations that demand a good read. The fairways are generally generous, but stray shots will quickly find the natural sandy waste areas or thick fescue, so accuracy is rewarded.

What unique strategic advice do you have for someone playing Dunes Golf Club for the first time?

Our top advice is to embrace the ground game and learn to play with the wind, not against it. Don't be afraid to hit a lower, running shot into the greens when the wind is up, especially on the exposed holes. Also, pay close attention to the pin positions- they can make a two-club difference on some of the more elevated greens.
