GOLF
Wild Dunes features two championship golf courses, the Links Course and the Harbor Course, both designed by Tom Fazio.
The Links Course features rolling fairways, challenging bunkers, undulating greens, which all make it an unforgettable golf experience. The course finishes with breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean on holes 17 and 18, which is the perfect ending to a fun and challenging round. The Links Course has been named one of America’s Top 100 Courses by Golf Digest Magazine and is considered one of Fazio’s best designs. The Harbor Course demands accuracy from the tee and winds through canals and marshes.
