Grande Dunes Luxury Golf Guide: The Ultimate 3-Night Myrtle Beach Golf Escape
Grande Dunes Luxury Golf Guide: The Ultimate 3-Night Myrtle Beach Golf Escape
Looking for a Myrtle Beach golf trip that feels a little more first-class? Base yourself at the elegant Marina Inn at Grande Dunes and you'll be perfectly positioned for a luxury golf getaway filled with ocean breezes, immaculate fairways, upscale dining, and some of the Grand Strand's best golf within a short drive.
This 3-night, 4-round itinerary keeps you close to the prestigious Grande Dunes Resort Club while mixing in elite golf experiences from Myrtle Beach's central corridor and famous Restaurant Row.
Day 1: Arrival + Grande Dunes Resort Club
Start your trip with a round at Grande Dunes Resort Club, one of Myrtle Beach's premier public layouts. Wide fairways, dramatic Intracoastal Waterway holes, and country-club conditioning make it the perfect tone-setter for a luxury golf trip.
After golf, check into Marina Inn at Grande Dunes. The Mediterranean-style resort offers spacious suites, marina views, and a quieter upscale atmosphere than the oceanfront mega-resorts.
Dinner? Keep it classy with onsite dining at Waterscapes Restaurant, or head five minutes north to Restaurant Row for steaks and seafood at The Library Restaurant or Hook & Barrel.
Day 2: Barefoot Resort Golf + Fine Dining
After breakfast, head north to Barefoot Resort & Golf, located less than 10 miles from Grande Dunes. Choose between the Love, Dye, Norman, or Fazio courses — all nationally ranked and offering a private-club vibe.
The Dye Course delivers dramatic visuals and challenge, while the Norman Course offers a more playable luxury experience with stunning marsh scenery.
Spend the evening exploring Restaurant Row. Upscale favorites include 42nd Street Bar & Grill for premium steaks and wine, or Bimini's Oyster Bar & Seafood Cafe for a more relaxed coastal feel.
Day 3: TPC Myrtle Beach or King's North
For your third round, there are two excellent directions to go.
Want a tour-caliber test? Drive south to TPC Myrtle Beach, known for pristine conditioning and a layout that has hosted former PGA TOUR events.
Prefer staying closer to Grande Dunes? Tee it up at Myrtle Beach National's King's North, Arnold Palmer's wildly popular design featuring "The Gambler," one of Myrtle Beach's most recognizable holes.
For dinner, celebrate the trip with waterfront dining at Ruth's Chris Steak House or cocktails and sushi at Co Sushi.
Day 4: Final Round + Departure
Before heading home, squeeze in one more luxury round at Pine Lakes Country Club — "The Granddaddy," Myrtle Beach's oldest golf course. It combines classic architecture, tree-lined fairways, and historic charm just minutes from Grande Dunes.
Grab brunch, hit the marina for one last view of the Intracoastal, and start planning your next Myrtle Beach golf escape before your plane even takes off.
