Recently, Heritage Golf Group made its presence known in Myrtle Beach and the Carolinas. In early 2022, they purchased Brunswick Plantation Resort and Cape Fear National Golf Club, just across the state line in Leland, NC. Then in October 2022, they made a grand entrance into Myrtle Beach with the purchase of the Grande Dunes Members Club, the only private golf club in Myrtle Beach. The group also purchased The Club at Savannah Quarters, in Pooler, GA. According to Heritage CEO Mark Burnett, “These acquisitions are in line with our strategy of owning and operating private clubs in residential communities in key locations and providing members with a vibrant club lifestyle.”

Grande Dunes Members Club is located within the upscale Grande Dunes residential community, it offers its members a world-class golf experience along with fine dining and social activities. The golf course was designed by golf course architect Craig Schreiner with a lot of input from PGA TOUR player and Hall of Fame inductee Nick Price.

The Members Club plays 7,029 yards from the Championship Tees (Red) with a course rating of 73.8 and a slope of 136, with a par of 71. Ladies typically play the Gold Tees (5,127/70.1/122). I found the White Tees (6,048/69.5/126) provided an adequate challenge and still allowed me to leave with a little dignity.

The Members Club is set in an excellent location, high on a bluff overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway, with panoramic views that include the surrounding maritime forest. It features modest elevation changes, wide TifSport Bermuda fairways, and 34 acres of lakes.

The greens are very large and play fast; they’re also full of subtle breaks and false fronts. What may go unnoticed is the length of the greens, many more than 35 yards. With a two to three-club distance between a front and back pin placement, this allows the staff to set up the course in an unlimited number of ways, and never let members get the feeling they are playing the same course over and over. After all, variety is the spice of life!

In addition to a spectacular golf course, Grande Dunes Members Club also has some fantastic practice facilities including a full-length driving range, short game area, and practice putting green. The pro shop is filled with logoed golf apparel and accessories from some of the top names including Peter Millar, Ralph Lauren, and Stich Golf. They also have a wide selection of balls, clubs, shoes, and lifestyle pieces.

As I mentioned earlier, Grande Dunes Members Club is the only private club in Myrtle Beach. It has been said many times that "membership has its privileges," and membership with Heritage Golf Group certainly epitomizes this. As a Heritage Golf Group member, you'll enjoy all of the benefits you'd expect at your home club, plus have the option to upgrade your membership for access throughout the Heritage portfolio of clubs. Since golf is always an important part of country club life, your HGG membership gives you access to 28 (and growing) championship Heritage Golf Group clubs. You'll play on uncrowded fairways under pristine conditions on world-class courses. In addition to great golf, you’ll have access to all of the practice facilities and teaching professionals when traveling. And let's not forget the food! Dine in chef-inspired restaurants and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of their clubhouses and lounges. There are membership options for individuals, families, and corporations.

One of the best in the area. I have played fifty plus courses in the Myrtle Beach area. Grande Dunes is always in great shape and a good challenge. The staff is friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work.

Long! Very LONG from the tips (over 7600) course was in great shape. Definitely worth the stop while in Myrtle Beach. Excellent practice area and lightning fast greens

One of the nicest courses I have played. In excellent shape. Only complaint is that I only saw the drink cart once. We were the last round before the course closed for the PGA Professionals Championship started. Not long but a thinking course layout. You will enjoy it! I did!

Very nice course. On the intercoastal waterway so there is some cool scenery. Was in great condition. Greens were very fast. Played this the first day and it messed up my whole week cause I was scared to put too hard.
