Wild Dunes Resort Announces Renovated Links Golf Course & Clubhouse to Reopen Late October

Celebrate the Countdown with New Contests & Packages

(CHARLESTON, S.C.) – Wild Dunes Resort, a Destination Hotel, is currently undergoing significant renovations to its famed Links Course, Tom-Fazio’s first-ever solo design, with plans to reopen late October, 2015. The updated course will be as visually stunning as it is playable, featuring a new irrigation system, Champion Bermuda grass greens, concrete cart paths, renovated halfway house, enhanced practice facility with a 4,500 square-foot putting green, new coastal marsh views and holes 16-18 opening up to the Atlantic Ocean. In addition, the Links Clubhouse is undergoing key improvements including extensive interior renovations with two newly furnished outdoor decks- the Fazio Dining Deck with fireplace and the Golfer’s Deck off of The Sand Bar, a full-service diner-style restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and post-round drinks.

Wild Dunes Resort is giving players a chance to win free golf on the new Links Course or Harbor Course with its #WildGolfGram social media contest.
