Use to be a phenomenal place until it was destroyed by a major hurricane and then became a cruise ship on land! However, great golf at the somewhat newly refurbed Links Course. It's unfortunate that they're having issues with constant beach erosion along the famous 17th and 18th holes. Perhaps the two best finishing holes along the southeastern coast. The resort is fortunate to have a very talented maintenance staff there and it shows! This course is manicured but slightly scruffy and somewhat unkept around the edges. In my opinion, the way a real golf course should be. Kinda like when you see a very beautiful woman who was out late the night before! It offers many native slopes and elevation changes which is a rare trait for eastern seaboard golf. It's one of a kind and arguably one of Tom Fazio's greatest achievements. It's a must if you've never had the privilege of playing it! The Harbor Course is the red headed step child of the two but still offers really good golf and depending on the time of year, at a very affordable price. Hopefully one day, they'll perform a long overdo refurb to this course which is a completely different track than the big brother Links Course and much different than it was prior to Hurricane Hugo in 1989, only four years after construction. If you had the opportunity to play this course between late summer of 1985 and late September of 1989 then consider yourself lucky. It was a player friendly but amazing golf course in essentially perfect condition! But over the years, the many artificial mounding and peaked features of this course offers another huge challenge to the list for their talented maintenance staff. Especially in terms of cultivation and pesticide application practices. These areas are in need of regrading to soften some of those slopes and features. This coupled with many infrastructure upgrade needs, tee box complex enlarging and of course, greens reconstruction certainly warrants closure and a big facelift and quadruple bypass. The golf course itself is certainly good enough to validate a big investment from the powers that be at Wild Dunes and their parent company. Hopefully one day!
