Great time playing golf here today. Only had time for the front 9 and a bitw to eat. But, look forward to coming back. All the greens were in excellent shape! Beautiful course with lots of water. The driving range is into the water which is very cool! Had a crab cake sandwich with rice and beans that was very well prepared with a local draft IPA. Definitely looking forward to heading back.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Dunes and it was a DREAM! I worked with Dana to pull it all together, she was super attentive to detail, incredibly kind, on top of it the day of, and overall such a pleasure to work with! All of the Staff went above and beyond to make the day run seamlessly (shout out Dana and Zach you guys are awesome! I'll say it again). We could not have asked for a better venue. The golf course itself was the perfect atmosphere for our special day! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious. We had our cocktail hour at the pavilion and our reception on the aqua driving range under a sailcloth tent. Definitely recommend the Dunes for anyone wanting a memorable wedding day, the views are better than the pictures, trust me! We are so grateful to all the staff who helped make our day so special!

Great course, fairways have a little issue just move to some grass and move on. The greens are very nice, I will keep coming back to this course.
