Dunes Club To Host 2010 Championship Round
Whether you are registering for your first tournament or preparing for your 27th Golf.com World Amateur Handicap Championship, everyone harbors dreams of winning their flight and advancing to the Championship Round, an 18-hole shootout that crowns the tournament champion.
In 2010, the winner will again hoist the World Am trophy at the Dunes Golf & Beach Club, Myrtle Beach’s most revered course. The Dunes Club, a member of every substantive list of America’s top 100 public courses, will host Friday’s Championship Round.
“We are looking forward to crowning our champion at the Dunes Club again this year,” Dave Macpherson, the World Am’s tournament director, said. “The Dunes Club has a unique place in Myrtle Beach golf history and it’s an ideal venue to cap off the World Am.”
Opened in 1948, the Dunes Club, a Robert Trent Jones design, is just yards from the Atlantic Ocean and is Myrtle Beach’s most tradition-filled course. It has hosted the Senior Tour Championship, the U.S. Women’s Open, the finals of the PGA Tour’s Q-School and several prominent amateur tournaments.
A 4.5-star course, the Dunes Club is a traditional golf course and one of the Myrtle Beach area’s most popular layouts. The most recognizable hole at the Dunes Club is No. 13, a long, par 5 that plays around Lake Singleton and is affectionately known as Waterloo.

This year will mark my 23rd trip to the World Am. During that time, I've played the Dunes on several occasions, but never in the finals. Hopefully, this year will be different.
In my youth, I actually was able to hit the green at Waterloo once. Most of the attempts, however, sleep with the alligators. My advice is "Lay Up, Dummy!" The risk is greater than the reward.
