The Golfer’s Review

The Dye Club is as tough as it is beautiful. It’s not for the faint of heart, but for players who enjoy a strategic grind, there’s no better test on the Grand Strand. The fairways look narrower than they play, but the bunkers and hazards will punish lapses in focus.

From the immaculate fairways to the undulating greens, the conditioning is top-tier and the course has the feel of a true private club.
