High Level Golf Dominates The Lowcountry

Charleston, S.C.

The newly renovated Oak Point Golf Course, designed by Clyde Johnston, offers a variety of challenges from holes set in windswept tracts alongside salt marshes to fairways carved out of thick forests.

The famed Ocean Course offers panoramic ocean views with 10 holes playing directly along the beach. It will host the 2007 Senior PGA Championship and the 2012 PGA Championship. Tom Fazio’s beautiful Osprey Point rests on a superb natural canvas and is a masterpiece in playability and variety.

Jack Nicklaus’ entry at Kiawah, Turtle Point, blends fairways and green settings into the natural landscape, a feature perhaps most evident along a spectacular three-hole stretch that weaves through rolling sand dunes bordering the ocean.
