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 short list of the best par 3s in all of South Carolina golf.  Holes 8, 9, 10 and 15 also bring the waterway into play.
 
The Coach: Matt Moot is in his second season as head coach at his alma mater. He collected his first collegiate coaching victory in his seventh team event – the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate (Mar. 9-10, 2026) and followed that with a first-place finish at the Cutter Creek Intercollegiate (Mar. 27-29).  During his time as an assistant or associate on the Camel staff, Moot helped lead Campbell to five NCAA post-season trips, 12 tournament titles and three conference crowns.  Moot helped develop the 2017, 2019 (Jesper Svensson), 2018 (Ray Kraivixien) and 2021 (Pontus Nyholm) Big South Conference golfers of the year as well as four-straight league rookies of the year in Henric Bjelke (2022), Tim Holmberg (2023), Erik Johansson (CAA 2024) and Benjamin Killingstad (CAA 2025).  During his playing career (2007-11) at Campbell, Moot compiled 11 top-10 individual finishes and was a two-time Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar.  He competed in the 2009 and 2011 NCAA regionals.
