Nestled in the heart of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Grande Dunes stands as an epitome of luxury living fused with a golfer’s paradise. As a Myrtle Beach local, I’ve had the privilege to witness first-hand why this prestigious golf resort continues to be one of the premier golfing destinations in the United States.
# The Golf Course
Core to Grande Dunes’ charm is the 18-hole championship golf course designed by the renowned Roger Packard. What makes this course unique is it doesn’t just cater to the skilled golfer; it provides a challenging yet enjoyable experience for golfers of all levels. The course offers stunning views with most holes giving you a picturesque vista of the Intracoastal Waterway, accentuating the pleasure of the game.
# Membership Benefits
The beauty of being a Grande Dunes golf club member extends beyond the gorgeous greens. It’s about being part of a community, a family that shares your love for the game and appreciates a lifestyle of quality and comfort. Membership comes bundled with numerous exclusive benefits.
As a member, you enjoy unlimited golfing privileges all year round, advanced starting time reservations, and family privileges that include your spouse and children under the age of 23. Needless to say, the latter comes in handy if you’re looking to nurture your younger family members’ interest in the sport.
# Additional Facilities
Aside from the top-tier golfing facilities, Grande Dunes boasts a 27,000 square foot Mediterranean-style clubhouse. This is not just a place to grab a quick refreshment after a game; it’s a place to unwind and socialise. Laced with luxury, the clubhouse offers fine dining, banquet facilities, a members-only locker room, and outdoor veranda with views of the 9th and 18th holes.
The Grande Dunes tennis club should not be overlooked either. Host of the annual USTA Doubles League State Championship, the tennis club is home to a state-of-the-art tennis facility. With 10 Har-Tru courts, an impressive pro shop, and a wide variety of instructional programs and events, it’s a haven not only for the racquet enthusiasts but also for those seeking to adopt a new hobby or skill.
# The Grande Dunes Resort Club
After a satisfying round of golf or a stimulating tennis match, what better way to relax than a spa day or a cool dip? As part of your membership, you gain access to the Grande Dunes Resort Club. The resort club houses a fantastic swimming pool and a fully-equipped fitness center, with qualified trainers to ensure you get the most out of your sessions. Spa services are available, allowing members to pamper themselves after a hard day at play.
# Marina and Water Activites
To add to the myriad of benefits, Grande Dunes also provides a private marina, the only one in Myrtle Beach. The marina offers boat slips, a boat ramp, rentals for jet skis, and paddle boards to name a few. For those who find thrill beyond the greens, there’s also an option for Marina membership, featuring enhanced access to water activities.
# Encapsulating the Lifestyle
In essence, a Grande Dunes membership gets you more than just a golfing experience; it gets you a lifestyle. It’s about hitting those holes-in-one and also about enjoying a serene sunset from the club deck. It’s about being part of a prestigious yet homely community, where golf meets luxury every day. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer, a budding tennis player, or someone who just loves the finer things in life, Grande Dunes is a place where you can do what you love surrounded by beauty and comfort.
The Grande Dunes isn’t just a club; it’s a lifestyle experience that binds relaxation and luxury with your favorite pastime.

To put it simply, Grande Dunes membership is your ticket to a unique lifestyle clubbed with a fulfilling golfing experience that is unmatched by any other golf resorts in the area.
