About
Golf at Grande Dunes and Beach Club in North Myrtle Beach is played on a grand scale. The course is set high on a bluff overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, with panoramic views of the waterway and maritime forest. It's 7,618 yards, with a very difficult slope rating of 141. Five holes play along the waterway. The greens are grand, averaging 10,000 square feet with eight rotating pin placements, ensuring the course changes significantly from day to day. There is plenty of water, to be sure: the par-5 17th hole has water running down the entire left side and a moat fronting the green, for example. There are also some nice elevation changes; the par-3 14th hole has about a 65-foot drop, with the green jutting out over the waterway.

Great track in rough shape
We try to play Grande Dunes every time we come to Myrtle because it is such a great layout and usually in excellent shape. This time, however, the course was in bad shape. The fairways were patchy in some spots; however, this was not a major issue because you could easily roll the ball onto some grass when necessary. The major issue was the greens. They were almost all painted and many had huge bare spots with no grass at all. They rolled at a decent pace, but were rather bumpy. We paid $59 for the round so we weren't too upset because the layout is so great, but given the current condition, it is not a $100 course.

Course in great shape. Played in less than 4 hours. Enjoyed the great variety of holes.
Excellent
My new favorite course in Myrtle Beach! Right up there with True Blue and Caledonia.
Great course beautiful layout some tricky holes need to keep it in play
excellent
not cheap but you get your moneys worth. great course
Beautifully laid out course
This course has a great design. From the tips at 7500+, it is a monster. Looked at several holes from the tips. But from the white tees at 6300 where I played today, it is pretty wide. Played the ball down since the fairways were so nice. Bunkers will not give up a ball. If one goes in, it stays in. Bunkers have great sand though, so you have a chance to recover. The greens are in perfect condition, not flat but not too crazy undulating, like Goldilocks says, just right. Some of the holes overlook the big adjacent river and have great views. Very pretty course, would love to play again.
The Best in Myrtle Beach!
Played the Grande Dunes on Sunday and the course was by far the best in Myrtle Beach. All the staff were attentive, professional and fun. The course has a very creative layout, lots of undulations, wide fairways and a multitude of tee boxes to choose from. The conditions were superb in Nov, including the greens! Plus the scenic views and lush landscaping around the cart paths I found really enhanced the overall experience. Worth every penny. I will definitely be back!
Great views
The course was an amazing shape, greens were true, well manicured. Some of the holes on the intercoastal were amazing.
A bit overpriced for a Myrtle Beach golf course
Pace
Second time playing in two weeks and both times I was the first group off in the morning. My foursome played the front in 1 hour 45 minutes and had to wait for two foursomes to tee off on #10. The round took 4-1/2 hours and I lost my groove having to wait on every shot on the back. Poor Course management
Nice Course, little pricy
Overall I liked the course layout, and it was in fairly good shape for October. My only real critique was the price. I clearly overpaid, but even with some discount I feel the course is over priced. 65 - 85 would be more in line. I did have a great experience and the staff was very friendly.
