Dunes golf and beach club logo The Dunes, established in 1948, is considered the areas premier Country Club. The club was designed and built on land owned by Myrtle Beach Farms through the vision and efforts of George W. "Buster" Bryan. Bryan gathered a group of Myrtle Beach's leading citizens to form a corporation and build the golf course.

The group decided to consult the famous golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, who worked with Bobby Jones to build Peachtree G.C. in Atlanta and remodeled the 11th and 16th holes at Augusta National G.C. The Dunes Golf and Beach Club was built on 270 acres of land that Trent Jones described as "a lovely piece of land studded with live oaks where the Singleton Swash empties into the Atlantic Ocean."
