The Dunes, established in 1948, is considered the areas premier Country Club. The club was designed and built on land owned by Myrtle Beach Farms through the vision and efforts of George W. "Buster" Bryan. Bryan gathered a group of Myrtle Beach's leading citizens to form a corporation and build the golf course.

The group decided to consult the famous golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, who worked with Bobby Jones to build Peachtree G.C. in Atlanta and remodeled the 11th and 16th holes at Augusta National G.C. The Dunes Golf and Beach Club was built on 270 acres of land that Trent Jones described as "a lovely piece of land studded with live oaks where the Singleton Swash empties into the Atlantic Ocean."

The golf course is rich in history and has played host to six SENIOR Tour Championships, a Women's US Open and the finals of PGA Tour Qualifying School. Dunes Club Champions include, Ben Crenshaw, Hale Irwin, Jay Sigel, Gil Morgan, Jim Colbert, Gary McCord and Raymond Floyd. The Dunes offers a classic Club experience with all the Southern charm, elegance and style associated with the finest clubs in the Southeast. Please enjoy this online tour of the Dunes Club and feel free to contact the Club personally if you are in the area.

As mentioned previously, Clay, our golf package pro at TtimesOnly.com, has a great understanding of Myrtle Beach golf courses. After years of some good (and some very awful) golf-filled weekends, he’s become an unofficial authority on the topic of what to play, and what to avoid at all costs. At my request, again, Clay stepped up to the plate to offer his suggestions for the Most Fun golf courses to play in Myrtle Beach.
