Kiawah Island Resort - Ocean Course
Undoubtedly one of Pete Dye’s most superb designs, The Ocean Course received worldwide attention as the host of the dramatic 1991 Ryder Cup matches, dubbed "the War at the Shore," and the 1997 World Cup of Golf. Golf Digest called The Ocean Course "America’s Toughest Resort Course" and the third best overall resort course in the country. A recent article in Cigar Aficionado rated it the 4th most difficult course in North America. It’s one of 16 5-star courses in North America in the latest Fodor’s/Golf Digest "Placed to Play" ratings. At 7,296 yards, The Ocean Course offers spectacular views along two and one half miles of Atlantic Ocean. With ten holes directly on the Atlantic and the other eight winding through the surrounding marshes and dunes, The Ocean Course offers a natural links-style environment reminiscent to the great courses of Scotland.
