The Dunes Golf and Beach Club was recently named to the "50 Best Courses in South Carolina," ranking recently announced by the South Carolina Golf Course Ratings Panel.
The Panel's biennial ranking recognizes the state's top resort, public access, daily-fee courses and private courses in even-numbered years.
"We are excited to be recognized as one of the top 50 golf courses in the state," said Dennis Nicholl, Dunes Club's head golf professional. "We strive to provide a superior golfing experience to our members and guests and this award confirms our success at this objective."
The Robert Trent Jones design was the top-ranked Grand Strand area golf course honored by the ranking, at number seven, and moved up two spots since the 2007 ranking.
In determining course ratings, panelists consider the following criteria:
| Routing - how the course flows from hole to hole in harmony with existing topography |
| Variety - degree to which the course demands a full range of shot requirements |
| Strategy - how design features test course management |
| Equity - the course's capacity to reward good shots and penalize poor ones |
| Memorability - the distinctiveness of the colf course and its individual holes |
| Aesthetics - the degree to which scenery and surrounds lend to the enjoyment |
| Experience - incorporates all elements of the course: practice areas and clubhouse |
