I've had the pleasure of playing the Myrtle Beach courses for more than 20-years and I've never failed to include The Dunes. I was fortunate the first year I played down there that The Dunes was part of the package and I would never include a trip without it. The thirteenth hole is one of the most remarkable Par-5 holes in all of golf, requiring a well positioned drive, to avoid the water on the right, which you must eventually cross, anyway, an equally well struck second shot (uphill, so forget any thought of reaching it in two) and a third to a two tiered green that, if you find the wrong side, requires luck to avoid a three-putt. The entire course is great, but the 13th is worth the price of admission.
Would travel: Airplane, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Ambiance, Clubhouse, Pro Shop
