The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort hosted the 2007 Senior PGA and the 2012 PGA Championships. The Ocean Course will become only the fourth course to have hosted each of the PGA of America’s major championships.
Probably no other golf course in the world outside of the United Kingdom and Ireland is affected as much by the wind. From one round to the next, a player can experience up to an 8-club difference on holes depending upon the direction and strength of the wind. Built in 1991 by Pete Dye, there are no prevailing winds on the course. Dye took this into account when designing the course. In fact, he designed two courses into one – one for an easterly wind and one for a westerly wind.
The Ocean Course Challenging Moments, Memorable Victories
Located on the eastern-most end of Kiawah Island, The Ocean Course has more seaside holes than any other course in the Northern Hemisphere – 10 right along the Atlantic with the other 8 running parallel to those. Although it was originally designed to sit behind the dunes, Dye’s wife, Alice, suggested raising the entire course to allow players unobstructed views of Kiawah’s beautiful Atlantic coastline from every hole. This improved view, however, made the course substantially more demanding as it also exposed it to the area’s brisk and unpredictable sea breezes.
Turtle Point Golf Course
Golf Digest’s Recent Ranking
Rated 48th on Golf Digest’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Course List
Turtle Point is a low-profile golf course that delivers a high caliber golfing experience. Players from the Carolina Amateur, the Carolina PGA, the South Carolina Amateur and the 1990 PGA Cup Matches will all agree that the Turtle Point Golf Course is a true test for strategy and accuracy.
Jack Nicklaus once said that his number one goal in golf course design was to “make the player use his mind ahead of his muscles – to control his emotions sufficiently to really think through his options before drawing a club from the bag.” To that we say, welcome to Turtle Point Golf Club at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, one of Jack’s early designs and steeped in the finest traditions of classic golf course architecture.
Osprey Point Golf Course
Generally, courses of the caliber of Osprey Point are in private club settings with restricted memberships and high membership fees. In fact, its architect, Tom Fazio, originally developed it as a members’ only type course. However, since Osprey Point is now part of Kiawah Island Golf Resort, anyone can enjoy this beautiful Lowcountry gem. Not only is Osprey Point a world-class layout, Osprey Point’s large, elegant clubhouse is available for guest’s use. It’s a favorite of not only after-round libations and dining, it’s a favorite location for wedding receptions and special event functions.
The lines are long heading to Kiawah this morning but we are looking forward to an exciting day!
Notes from today: 1. Followed Tiger’s and Rory’s group on front nine. Rory is in charge and it’s his tournament to win or lose. 2. Sitting near 13th green, watching Tiger’s group come in and watching live coverage at PGA.com on iPad at same time. Golf heaven! 3. Despite Tiger not playing well, as soon as …
Still a favorite on our six visit. We were upgraded to an ocean front room at no extra charge. Not sure why but we were happy to accept. Nothing out of place. Looks like the hotel is still brand new. Beach, pool, spa all outstanding. Hard to imagine a better spot for a long or short visit.
