The Grande Dunes Resort Club

The Members Course at The Grande Dunes Resort Club is a Nick Price and Craig Schreiner design that opened in the early 2000s as part of the Grande Dunes development along the Intracoastal Waterway in Myrtle Beach. Price, the three-time major champion from Zimbabwe, partnered with Schreiner on several projects during his transition into golf course architecture, bringing a player's perspective to strategic design. The course occupies a distinctive setting for the Grand Strand, incorporating substantial elevation changes uncommon in coastal South Carolina golf and featuring multiple holes that play along or across the waterway. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural dune formations and maritime forest, with fairways that move through corridors of live oaks and pines. Several holes offer views across the Intracoastal, and the design emphasizes strategic variety rather than pure length, with risk-reward opportunities that reflect Price's competitive instincts. The conditioning and presentation standards align with the resort's upscale positioning within the Myrtle Beach market. The Grande Dunes property includes both the Members Course and the separate Resort Course, with the Members layout serving as the more exclusive of the two. The club operates within the broader resort community, which includes residential development, marina access, and dining facilities. The course represents one of the higher-end daily-fee options in a market known primarily for volume golf tourism, offering a departure from the flatter, more traditional Myrtle Beach layouts.
