Grande Dunes Members Club occupies one of the more coveted addresses in the Myrtle Beach corridor — a gated, private enclave within the broader Grande Dunes resort development along the Intracoastal Waterway. Designed by Roger Rulewich, who spent decades as Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s lead associate before establishing his own firm, the course opened in 2000 and was built to a standard that sets it apart from the sprawling public golf market surrounding it. Where most of the Grand Strand caters to the visiting resort golfer, this one belongs to its members.
Rulewich shaped the routing through coastal Carolina lowlands with generous fairways, bold bunkering, and water in play on a significant portion of holes — a layout that rewards strategy and course management over raw power.
Myrtle Beach hosts more golf courses per square mile than almost anywhere in the country, making it one of America's great golf destinations. The Members Club sits at the top of that market, offering a quieter, more refined counterpoint to the high-volume public tracks that define the Grand Strand's reputation.
