Recently, Heritage Golf Group made its presence known in Myrtle Beach and the Carolinas. In early 2022, they purchased Brunswick Plantation Resort and Cape Fear National Golf Club, just across the state line in Leland, NC. Then in October 2022, they made a grand entrance into Myrtle Beach with the purchase of the Grande Dunes Members Club, the only private golf club in Myrtle Beach. The group also purchased The Club at Savannah Quarters, in Pooler, GA. According to Heritage CEO Mark Burnett, “These acquisitions are in line with our strategy of owning and operating private clubs in residential communities in key locations and providing members with a vibrant club lifestyle.”
Grande Dunes Members Club is located within the upscale Grande Dunes residential community, it offers its members a world-class golf experience along with fine dining and social activities. The golf course was designed by golf course architect Craig Schreiner with a lot of input from PGA TOUR player and Hall of Fame inductee Nick Price.
The Members Club plays 7,029 yards from the Championship Tees (Red) with a course rating of 73.8 and a slope of 136, with a par of 71. Ladies typically play the Gold Tees (5,127/70.1/122). I found the White Tees (6,048/69.5/126) provided an adequate challenge and still allowed me to leave with a little dignity.
The Members Club is set in an excellent location, high on a bluff overlooking the Intercoastal Waterway, with panoramic views that include the surrounding maritime forest. It features modest elevation changes, wide TifSport Bermuda fairways, and 34 acres of lakes.
The greens are very large and play fast; they’re also full of subtle breaks and false fronts. What may go unnoticed is the length of the greens, many more than 35 yards. With a two to three-club distance between a front and back pin placement, this allows the staff to set up the course in an unlimited number of ways, and never let members get the feeling they are playing the same course over and over. After all, variety is the spice of life!
In addition to a spectacular golf course, Grande Dunes Members Club also has some fantastic practice facilities including a full-length driving range, short game area, and practice putting green. The pro shop is filled with logoed golf apparel and accessories from some of the top names including Peter Millar, Ralph Lauren, and Stich Golf. They also have a wide selection of balls, clubs, shoes, and lifestyle pieces.
As I mentioned earlier, Grande Dunes Members Club is the only private club in Myrtle Beach. It has been said many times that "membership has its privileges," and membership with Heritage Golf Group certainly epitomizes this. As a Heritage Golf Group member, you'll enjoy all of the benefits you'd expect at your home club, plus have the option to upgrade your membership for access throughout the Heritage portfolio of clubs. Since golf is always an important part of country club life, your HGG membership gives you access to 28 (and growing) championship Heritage Golf Group clubs. You'll play on uncrowded fairways under pristine conditions on world-class courses. In addition to great golf, you’ll have access to all of the practice facilities and teaching professionals when traveling. And let's not forget the food! Dine in chef-inspired restaurants and enjoy the welcoming atmosphere of their clubhouses and lounges. There are membership options for individuals, families, and...

Then as he gave me the contract in front of building to not even have the decency to give me a copy as I explained I want to stay a member if they would fix the mold in building and he said this is it your not a member..I ask if I can be a member after they remediate mold and he said no this is it your not able to be a member again...as I drove away my stomach didnt feel right because the past 6 months he wouldn't fix the problem or hire anyone that knows what theyre talking about...they've got hidden leaks behind walls they still haven't gotten to.. hillel is nothing other than a slum lord and I wonder what deal he makes on the side with contractors because I gave him many estimates for things that he requested and he wasted my time many times but I let that slide...I cant let the unfair treatment by hillel go unheard as u try to return the refund hillel doesnt answer and thinks he can change words that I was not aware of different to the copy I had reviewed in email before driving over...hillel is nothing other than a slum lord who wouldnt help me for the 6 months I asked him to but as soon as I wrote a review he changes tune because he knows he has been sweeping me under the rug about many things as well as other members...the rest of the Grande dunes staff is great and I really love the course but hillel is not a good person and telling me to sit down in his office like he is some sort of principal...he acts like he owns the building...
Read moreThe GD Members Club staff is extremely friendly, the food is always delicious, the social activites are fun, and the golf course is challenging and beautiful. Living in a "tourist area" sometimes it is nice being able to go to dinner without all the tourist chaos. The bartender has your drink ready before you get to your table and the wait staff knows your name and all your favorites on the menu. The holiday events are great for everyone.....retirees, families, etc. And, sitting on the back deck overlooking the beautiful golf course having a glass of wine is so peaceful and relaxing. We love going to the...
