Myrtle Beach
Dunes Golf & Beach Club
Classic coastal / championship
Dunes Club is the course that gives a Myrtle trip credibility. RTJ Sr. built the market's classic anchor, and the "Alligator Alley" stretch around Lake Singleton is still the Grand Strand's most serious old-school test. If the group wants one old-school anchor with real history, start here.

Such an awesome 18. It’s a challenging course; but, fair. Seems like every hole played into the wind- so, club up. And, the greens - race track fast. Easily added 5-6 strokes due to putting woes and fast greens. Service is top notch and tho’ it’s a private course, they treat gues
