The luxurious Wild Dunes Resort is located on the Isle of Palms, a short hop from Charleston and a magical place to spend some golf and leisure time in South Carolina. Blessed with a mild year-round climate, South Carolina is a popular golfing retreat outside the hot summer months, and Wild Dunes, with 36 excellent holes, is a terrific option.
Wow. You’re so good. And it is so tight. We’re going in September. Thanks for this video.
Heading there in September to play Harbor, Dunes and National. Thanks for the great video Rory!
Hope you enjoy it!
Another great looking course there bruh, and hitting the ball well 👍 👍 👍
Yep...playing OK so far. Always helps when you drive it well.
If I am correct, that the first course Fazio did himself. He has another in North Myrtle Beach at the Barefoot resort which I played. I noticed Fazio has narrow fairways. Dye courses have turtle shell greens, Nicholas courses have trees in the middle of the fairway and Arnold courses have a lot of water trouble
And Ross has greens surrounded by bunkers
When did you film this? Over seeded fairways, tee boxes and most likely greens. Bermuda when "in season: brings in a whole nother faucet to these courses. Most of the low-country SC tracks are tight, target golf. Kiawah, Hilton Head, Wild Dunes, Blufton, Fripp Island etc. tend to put a premium shot selection. To answer your question(s), don't care who designed it, how does it play. Are there clear site lines, Is it "contrived", meaning 4 great holes, but had to slip in a few janky holes just to make do.
Great stuff my man, always enjoy!
Thanks Terry glad you enjoyed the vid. Was filmed a while back but more to come from SC soon!
played these courses 4 years ago loved them have been to the resort many times and vacationed there potentially going back there cool video rory
Cheers bruh! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi Rory, putting well. As a queenslander I have been fortunate enough to play two of Greg Norman designed courses (Pelican Waters, Brookwater). They are both great in there different ways but both very stern tests of golf. I think Greg must be trying to make us amateurs into driving gods. Some holes can be very lonnggg!🤣 Enjoy the rest of your trip, cheers
Haha I quite often see course designers who were great players setting up courses to suit their skill sets. Seve courses for example...impossible around the greens haha!
Great work Roy.
Cheers bruh glad you enjoyed it!
Off to Hawks Landing Next Tuesday for 3 weeks ,
I am looking forward to it !!!
Best Barry
Nice Barry! Always fun to head to Florida for some golf!
I look forward to playing the old masters Colt, Braid ,Fowler and J F Abercrombie come to mind....I like the fact that you can defiantly see some of the designers traits in their courses
Yup....the old classic courses are always fun to play!
Hi Rory ,
Now at Gatwick to fly to Hawks Landing !
We be in touch early in New Year to plan the US Golf Tour with you ,
Happy Golf !
Best Wishes ,
Barry
Fantastic video!
I haven't played courses designed by all those people you mentioned, but from my experience I would say that one or two of them are not shy of lending their name to a course for a few bucks. And the quality, whilst undeniably is good, is not the premium experience you would expect.
I think when you have consistent similarities in what certain course designers offer then when you find a certain designer (or name leant) course you like then it does help you choose a course based on this. Personally though I like to read or watch reviews to base on what I want to play. 👍
Agree Jon. Hope some of the videos on the YGT channel are helpful for you then! ;-)
Hi Rory ,
If I like the course that’s great , lucky you playing the Harbour Course , next year Rory would love to select courses with you at YourGolf Travel .
Best ,
Barry
No probs Barry...you know where to find me if you ever need any help setting up a trip! raymondo@yourgolftravel.com
Looks like a course you have to plot around carefully. Ref designers- I think the same as you but say you visit an area with a number of courses and you're not sure which to go to, I think I would go to the one with a name behind it over the others.
Yes it was VERY tight in places with plenty of water lurking around too. Agree re the course designer thing...that's kind of what I meant. I see a big name attached to a course as a stamp of approval more than anything else.
Hi Rory I love James Braid courses i know he,s old style designer from years ago but i have played a few and they always give you chances but also get you if you stray a bit off line or why did he put a bunker there....ah that's why when your shot runs into it...lol
Yep...played a few Braid courses in my time. Gleneagles for example...what a treat that place is!
Hey Rory! Great video! I am trying to figure out what course to play when my wife and I go to Wild Dunes in May. What is your preference? Links or Harbor course? My wife does not play golf too much so I don't want her to quit on me after the first hole!
I actually only played the Harbor course so couldn't comment on the Links! Sorry bruh. I did really enjoy the Harbor course if that's of any use at all. 😂
What about Harry colt courses you no when your on one of them
If you lead me blindfolded to a golf course and let me play I wouldn't be able to tell you who had designed it but that's more because I don't pay too much attention to it. I'm sure there are plenty of golfers who have a much better knowledge on all that than me and could defo tell!
I focus more on reviews of the course above who the designers are. Good vlog Rory 👌
Thanks Joe glad you enjoyed it. Yes always good to hear from other golfers when it comes to picking courses. Always be careful of the negative reviews though...haha sometimes I read a negative review of a nice course and immediately think "uh oh someone's played badly on the day"! ;-)
The music is so comfy!
👊
You've gotta love your job bruh?!
Kinda suprised you didn’t at all mention Donald Ross, in my opinion one of the best designers
Great video.
Cheers Dwayne. Thanks for watching!
In a study conducted several years ago, the cost of owning real estate (Translation: A HOUSE) on a Tom Fazio golf course was higher than any other name designer, which may or may not say something about the desirability to live there.
You should know better than to look at only the total yardage of a course to decide where to play from. Recreational golfers would be better served to take note of the course SLOPE rating instead (do UK courses use course rating and slop rating yet?). As a #7, slope ratings between 125 and the low 130s should be just about right.
My shot tracking software doesn't even have a place to ENTER fairways hit on Par 3s. 😳
Sorry Rory, has to be said. That's the closest you'll be getting to an Eagle on that paddock.
Correct Mr Biles.
Mr Biles, Rory, no need to be so formal, Rob's the name Mr Anderson.
Hahahah Tom Fazio is my Great Uncle
