The Dunes West Golf Club has nature on its side. As the course winds its way along the Cooper River, it's proximity to this body of water creates some dramatic challenges once you begin your journey on the links. Water hazards and marsh jut in and around the fairways as well as a number of bunkers that all make getting to the green that much more difficult. Also, you'll need to focus your approach shots to avoid the greenside hazards and thick rough. Add the wind to the equation and the Dunes becomes an even more formidable challenge.
