The clubhouse includes a bar, bistro, locker rooms and other hospitality facilities.

The Dunes was developed on sandy coastal terrain at Rye and opened in 1997.
Tony Cashmore used the existing dune movement and deep sandy base to create a links-style routing. Bunkering is a major architectural element, ranging from compact pot bunkers to broad irregular sand features.
The Dunes has repeatedly appeared in Australian national course and public-access rankings.
The property offers the 18-hole Dunes course and the separate nine-hole Cups course, along with extensive practice and accommodation facilities.
