A Star-Studded Pro-Am Event
A Rich History at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club
The Dunes Golf and Beach Club has a storied past, being the second golf course established in Myrtle Beach back in the late 1940s. Founded by George “Buster” Bryan, with help from his brother, James, the course has become a vital component of the Myrtle Beach experience. It’s fascinating to note that Buster’s desire to build the Dunes Club was sparked by a comment made at another course. His determination and clever advertising strategies paved the way for Myrtle Beach as a premier golf destination, starting from the 1970s!

For those planning to attend, the tournament gates will open at 6:30 a.m. from Wednesday to Friday and at 7 a.m. over the weekend. Tee times kick off at 6:50 a.m. on Thursday and Friday and begin at 7 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Remember, digital tickets are the only option for entry, and children aged 15 and under can get in for free when accompanied by a paying adult. A special treat for local heroes: first responders and military personnel can grab two free tickets for the practice round on Wednesday.
Parking is available for $20 per day, and there will be shuttle buses to transport fans right to the golf action. Just a heads up, though, you’ll want to leave any bags larger than 6″x6″ and glass containers at home! Also, check the guidelines for chair sizes and electronic devices before you pack up for the day.
Entertainment Galore
Once the rounds are done, the entertainment continues! Performances by The Chairmen of the Board and Tyler Hubbard are scheduled, ensuring fun vibes linger long after the last putt is made.
