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.

Greens just too slow
Great course, nice range to practice before the game. Staff was excellent!
Deserves even higher than a 5. Great layout and always in great condition. Favorite course in Myrtle Beach.
This was the best course we played. The amenities for after play on our last day there were very welcomed!
Club house crew were very patient and accommodating! We have played at Grande Dunes the past 3 years on vacation and every time is better than the last
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.
We enjoy this course. It is probably the easiest course we play and always in great condition.
Excellent conditions.
Great shape. Spectacular course
Grand Dunes is a classic MB course that we play every other year. It’s a fun and challenging course to play that’s always in wonderful shape!
Outstanding layout and the pro-shop always treats like a MVP clients. The conditions were very good on course...
Beautiful course have you a great lunch
Course was in great condition, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
Play it twice a year. Spring and Fall. Love this course. Always in great shape and a playable layout.
A high end, playable beauty
Great course in great shape
Beautiful course. Will be an annual visit
Replay was procey
Probably our favorite course conditions were great practice facility and warm-up facility is top-notch
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.
Very nice course and conditions where great
Loved the course. Great conditions. Excellent practice area. Good food too. Best course of the 5 we played. Very close to airport. Will play it every time I visit!!
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.
Amazing condition, true greens, fair and wide for all skill levels, big green complexes make for interesting putts!
Other than the very cold weather it was a very fun course. Very challenging.
Nice course. Huge greens.
Yes, very nice course.
Absolutely amazing course!
Friendly staff, nice course
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.
Great course. Played when greens were fast
Great course. First time we have played it. Would replay in future
Amazing course and one of our favorite courses
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.
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.
Greens were recently punched so pretty bumpy.
Good shape. Lots of open fairways. Good choice for first day
Outstanding condition and well run.
Course was in great condition , everyone was great, very smooth from the time we got there until the time we left
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!
It was our favorite course we played weaving in and out of million dollar homes and we loved the holes along the water
Excellent golf course
Only played 9 holes but still one of are favorites
Course was in great shape and fun to play
Excellent condition and service
Always great to bad we only got in 9 holes because of the rain
In very nice condition
Always look forward to a great day at Grande Dunes Resort course and 2025 was no exception!! Staff was so professional, the course in super shape and pace of play was quite reasonable.
Beautiful course amazing layout.
great track with beautiful surroundings.
Beautiful course a little costly
another fight with the wind, but super course.
Beautiful course. No hole numbers at the tee box's. Lacks trashcans
Greens were just punched, otherwise it was an amazing course
Most beautiful course I've played
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.
Very nice resort style golf course and amenities. Pace of play issues due to split tee start strategy.
Outstanding golf
Beautiful, challenging course. Very well maintained.
Strained back couldn’t play
Great course great greens. One of the best in Myrtle!
The afternoon the booked so Any times that we didn't Finish our round
My favorite course in Myrtle Beach this week.
Course was excellent
Excellent course all staff members were pleasant and helpful
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.
Great as always.
