Wild Dunes Resort

Originally established in 1971 as the Isle of Palms Beach and Racquet Club, the Wild Dunes Resort is noted for its 17 Har-Tru tennis courts, where extensive clinics and instruction are offered. Tennis Magazine once named it among the "Top 50 Tennis Resorts in the Country," and the USTA chose the resort as its site for the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships in 1988 and 1989. Golf Magazine has also called it one of the "Top 12 Golf Resorts in America," acknowledging its 36 holes of championship golf designed by Tom Fazio.

For accommodations, guests in the Village at Wild Dunes Resort have their choice of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom suites, and penthouses. There are some 120 units in total, each fully furnished and featuring flat screen televisions, high-speed Internet access, and more. Many come with private balconies. Another 93 luxury rooms and suites are available at the resort's Boardwalk Inn.

Other amenities here include swimming pools, a fitness center, the Sand and Sea Salon and Spa, and a family recreational program called "Wild Excursions." Dining is available at The Lettered Olive restaurant, the Sea Island Grill at the Boardwalk Inn, and Hudson's Market within the Village Plaza. On the golf course, Edgar's Pub is the "19th hole" of the Links Clubhouse. The Wild Dunes Resort is located at 5757 Palm Boulevard, Isle of Palms, South Carolina 29451.
