Being a Myrtle Beach local and golf enthusiast, my adventures have uncommonly led me to explore the hidden gems right here in our backyard. One such gem I must share with you is the culinary experience at Grande Dunes’ Clubhouse. Overlooking the picturesque and opulent golf course is the Clubhouse, which offers an unforgettable dining experience, marrying southern hospitality with refined dining.
The Ambiance
The clubhouse at Grande Dunes encapsulates the warmth and elegance that mirrors Myrtle Beach’s aura. With sweeping views of the golf course and the adjacent Intracoastal Waterway, the panoramic landscape is nothing short of majestic. The design blends classic sophistication with a touch of modern edge. Vaulted wooden ceilings, stylish lighting fixtures, a warm fireplace, and expansive windows that bathe the space in natural sunlight imbue it with an inviting, comfortable ambiance.
Remarkable Culinary Experience
But it isn’t just the ambiance of the Grande Dunes’ Clubhouse that steals the show; it is also its excellent culinary offerings. With Executive Chef Gerard Cribbin at the helm, the dining experience is a gastronomic delight. Chef Cribbin brings his international experience and unique culinary perspective to the table, ensuring diners experience a variety of flavors that capture the essence of fresh, local ingredients, coupled with innovative cooking techniques.
The menu is a versatile mix of classic and contemporary. Appetizers like the succulent shrimp cocktail and creamy spinach artichoke dip are perfect to whet your appetite. For the main course, the menu offers an array of delectable options. From the tender rib-eye steak cooked exactly to your preference, to the culinary masterpiece known as seared scallops, prepared to melt-in-your-mouth perfection with its savory garnishes and sauces – there’s quite literally something for everyone’s fancy.
For those with a preference for poultry, the lemon-thyme roasted chicken is a house specialty, lightly seasoned, and cooked to tender perfection. Vegetarians also have a delightful range of options, including the fresh, well-seasoned vegetable kebobs, or the Chef’s signature mushroom risotto.
Sweet Finale – Dessert
What’s a good meal without rounding off with a sweet note? The dessert menu at the Grande Dunes’ Clubhouse is indeed the crown jewel. The Key lime pie is almost as good as a trip to Key West. On another day, you might want to dive into the creamy New York cheesecake or the undeniably divine chocolate lava cake.
