The interesting thing is how rarely players describe it as brutal. One regular called it probably the easiest course they play and always in great condition. Another praised fairways that are fair and wide for all skill levels and green complexes big enough to make for interesting putts. Put those together with the yardage and slope and the picture is clear: length and shot value come from the back tees, but the corridors are generous and the greens accept an approach, so the course scales down cleanly for a mixed group. Reviewers use the words beautiful, challenging and excellent in roughly equal measure, and several describe it as the best course they played on their trip.

With 926 reviews the average is 4.52, the strongest volume backed rating here, built on 632 five star and 204 four star ratings. The negatives are a real minority but not nothing: 51 threes, 20 twos and 19 ones. Conditioning during the turf transition is the sharpest complaint, with one player who paid a premium green fee finding the rye killed off and the Bermuda not yet grown in, leaving the course burnt out. Afternoon overbooking led to at least one group not finishing their round. Set against that, service is praised repeatedly, with the pro shop and clubhouse staff described as patient and accommodating, and several golfers who return year after year say it keeps getting better. The post round amenities also get a mention, which matters when a group wants to finish the trip somewhere comfortable rather than heading straight back to the car.

The rye was killed off and the Bermuda hadn’t grown in yet. I should have gotten a discount for the burnt out and terrible condition of the course. When I pay $175.00 for 18 holes then the course should be in pristine condition. I shouldn’t have to roll my ball in every fairway just to find a patch of grass to hit off of. I was very disappointed and will not be playing there again.

Mathew, Windsor

Was probably our favorite round. The views are great. The warm-up facility is awesome. Clubhouse was the best that we found.

First time playing that course. One of the most beautiful courses there. But, the greens are unreadably fast.

This is one of my favorite to have in the rotation, and always comes through. The views, course condition, staff, and location make this one I will always come back to.

Rich, Nepoet News
November 2025

Great staff, course was in excellent shape, always a 5/5. The worst part is leaving 9 green if you order food. You drive a long way back to clubhouse then make long trip back. Maybe they could have delivery if you order a bit earlier. 10th tee is 50ft from 9th green but if you order food it’s a 500 yard drive to pick it up then 500 yards back. It’s slows things up a bit.

Steve, Webster

Great course. Played when greens were fast

Dan, McSherrystown

This was a great way to start our trip really convenient location. The golf was really fun. I shot my best round of the year here. What a great memory.

Nicholas, Saunderstown
August 2025

What an experience!! Top notch from start to finish. A very scenic course that was also a fair course. Wide fairways. Keep the ball in play and you can shoot a good round. The greens had been punched and were trying to grow back in, but were still a little bumpy, but that’s part of maintaining a quality course. The staff was excellent. If there were 6 stars, I’d give it.

Jeff, Woodstock

Greens were recently punched so pretty bumpy.

Grande Dunes is a must play course that is a joy to play from any tee box. I played the green tees and that was plenty long enough for me. That course was in great shape from tee to green. The people there are there are the friendliest that you ever want to meet. From the pro shop, to the bag drop, to the starter, to the cart return area where they gave out cold towels and cleaned my clubs. Wow, how about that!

Edward, Baltimore

As always, this is our favorite course. A couple of the greens look a little damaged from the Winter, but I'm sure they will recover well.

Jon, Wake forest

Joe, Braintree

ALBERT
October 2024

The course is great. The reason for 4 stars is the number of foursomes put out for the day. Due to continually adding foursomes in front of our group, not only on the first tee but also in between groups on the 10th tee, Grande Dunes has become just another tee time factory like most courses in Myrtle, taking a quick dollar over giving players a good experience.

Cori, Shelter Island

Great as always.
