The Ocean Course

The Ocean Course is certainly South Carolina’s #1 golf adventure! It was the site of the 1991 Ryder Cup Matches, better known as the “War by the Shore,” which pitted the best U.S. touring professionals against the best players from Europe. Kiawah Island Golf Resort is excited to be hosting the 2012 PGA Championships.
All 18 holes offer panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, and it is by far Kiawah’s most demanding and challenging test of golf. In fact when the course was originally built, there were no prevailing winds, but Dye changed that by building one course with winds that affect a golfer from the east and the west. Dye’s wife, Alice, suggested raising the course so that while golfing, you are looking straight at the ocean and not into the dunes.
Golf Digest named The Ocean Course "#4 Public Golf Course in U.S." and "America's Toughest Resort Course." It is one of only 17 "5-star" courses in North America in Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play" reader's poll. GOLF Magazine has rated it #4 in its "Top 100 Courses You Can Play" list.
**PS-the picture shot is a view from the back of the clubhouse. I unfortunately only had my camera phone on me this day, so it isn't the best picture. However, i think you can see how amazing playing this course would be.
