How to Spend a Perfect Day at Wild Dunes Resort
An ideal golf day at Wild Dunes Resort near Charleston, S.C. starts out easy. Whether you’re staying at the quaint Boardwalk Inn or the vibrant Sweetgrass Inn, grab a coffee in the lobby and wander out back to the beach. Absorb the sunrise, get grounded, and relax for what’s next. Just steps from either hotel is the Harbor course. And since you’re about to hit the first tee there, check in at the pro shop then walk literally to the other side of the wall and grab a freshly made omelette at Woody’s Eatery. You’ll want some fuel so you can fully enjoy one of Tom Fazio’s first-ever course designs. Wild Dunes Resort
