“The Links Course at Wild Dunes is a fun, coastal round that blends resort playability with stretches of memorable seaside golf.”

There’s an easygoing feel to the Links Course from the start. Designed by Tom Fazio, it offers generous landing areas and a layout that is approachable, but still engaging enough to hold your attention throughout the round. It is the kind of course that works well for a wide range of players, especially in a group setting.

The routing moves between interior holes and those that play out along the ocean, and that contrast defines the experience. The inland holes are solid and straightforward, while the stretches near the water bring more character, both visually and strategically. When the course turns toward the ocean, it becomes more memorable, with wind and exposure adding a different dimension to the challenge.

There are a few standout moments along the coast where the visuals and shot values come together, and those holes tend to be the ones that stick with you. Away from the water, the course relies more on shaping and bunkering to create interest, though it feels less distinctive in those sections.

The greens are smooth and generally straightforward, fitting the overall resort style. Conditioning tends to be on the softer side, which keeps the course playable and enjoyable, especially for repeat rounds.

Wild Dunes Links is not trying to be overly demanding or complex. It succeeds as a well-designed resort course with enough variety and a strong coastal presence to make it worth playing, particularly for those looking for a relaxed but scenic round.
