The Course: Grande Dunes Resort Club (Par 72, 7578 Yards)
Grande Dunes has been ranked among "America's 100 Greatest Public Courses" by Golf Digest and the Roger Rulewich design is one of Myrtle Beach's most sought-after tee times. Sweeping fairways, large greens and, of course, those stunning Intracoastal Waterway views have come to define the popular layout.  On a course full of breathtaking views, the par 3 14th stands out. Playing from an elevated tee box to a green that resides along the Intracoastal Waterway, No. 14 is on the shortlist of the best par 3s in all of South Carolina golf.  Holes 8, 9, 10 and 15 also bring the waterway into play.
