Dunes Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play the Dunes Golf Course for ideal conditions?

We always recommend late spring or early fall for the Dunes. You'll find the fescue at its most vibrant and the coastal winds are usually more manageable, offering a truer links experience without the peak summer crowds or scorching heat. The course really shines when it's not battling extreme weather.

What's the most memorable or challenging hole at the Dunes Golf Course?

Without a doubt, the par-3 14th, 'The Gauntlet,' is the one you'll talk about. It plays directly into the prevailing wind off the ocean, requiring a precise long iron over a deep chasm to a small, elevated green. We've seen many a good round unravel there, so choose your club wisely.

Is the Dunes Golf Course a good walking course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

We strongly encourage walking the Dunes-it's how the course was designed to be experienced, letting you truly feel the contours and undulations. While carts are available, the natural flow and the stunning views are best appreciated on foot, though be prepared for some significant elevation changes on the back nine.

What should I expect to pay for a round at the Dunes Golf Course, and is it worth it?

Green fees at the Dunes typically range from $150-$250, depending on the season and time of day. We absolutely believe it's worth every penny for the unique links-style challenge and the immaculate conditioning you'll find, especially compared to other top-tier courses in the region.

How much does the wind really affect play at the Dunes Golf Course?

The wind is an integral part of the Dunes experience-it's not just a factor, it's a character in itself. You'll need to master low stingers and creative shot-making, especially on the exposed back nine where the gusts off the coast can add two or three clubs to your approach. Embrace it, or it will eat your score alive.
