Golf Courses
Kiawah Island Ocean Course
The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is one of America’s most celebrated seaside golf courses, located along the Atlantic coast of South Carolina. Designed by Pete and Alice Dye and opened in 1991, the championship layout is renowned for its dramatic ocean views, challenging winds, and links-style design.
Ten of its eighteen holes run directly along the shoreline, while the remaining holes parallel the coast, giving every hole a view of the ocean and exposing players to constantly changing coastal breezes. Built to host the 1991 Ryder Cup, the course has since staged major championships, including the PGA Championship in 2012 and 2021, and is widely regarded as one of the toughest and most scenic public golf courses in the United States
Kiawah Island Turtle Point Course
Turtle Point Golf Course at Kiawah Island is a classic Jack Nicklaus-designed championship course that blends strategic shot-making with the natural beauty of South Carolina’s Lowcountry. Opened in 1981, the par-72 layout features three oceanfront holes, wide fairways, approachable greens, and strategically placed lagoons, bunkers, and water hazards that reward accuracy and thoughtful course management.
The course winds through a diverse landscape of maritime forests, marshes, and Atlantic shoreline, requiring players to shape shots in both directions and carefully consider angles of approach. Known for its scenic setting and traditional design philosophy, Turtle Point offers a challenging yet enjoyable golf experience that emphasizes strategy over power
Seaside Course at Sea Island Resort
The Seaside Course at Sea Island Resort in Georgia is a classic oceanside links-style layout renowned for its stunning coastal scenery and championship pedigree. Originally designed by Harry Colt and Charles Alison in 1929 and later reimagined by Tom Fazio, the course combines the original Seaside and Marshside routings into a seamless test of golf that winds through tidal marshes, dunes, native grasses, and along the Atlantic coastline. Consistently ranked among the top public courses in the United States, Seaside is known for its beautifully maintained fairways and greens, strategic bunkering, and ever-changing coastal winds that create a different playing experience each day. The course is also co-host of the PGA Tour's RSM Classic, showcasing its blend of challenge, playability, and natural beauty
Plantation Course at Sea Island Resort
The Plantation Course at Sea Island Resort is a beautifully redesigned par-72 championship course that blends classic golf architecture with the natural beauty of Georgia’s coastal landscape. Originally based on Walter Travis’s 1928 design and completely reimagined by Davis Love III and Mark Love in 2019, the course winds through ancient live oaks, salt marshes, tidal creeks, and scenic coastal terrain. Featuring wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and creative green complexes inspired by traditional Golden Age design,
Plantation is both highly playable and strategically challenging for golfers of all skill levels. The course emphasizes thoughtful shot placement and approach angles rather than sheer power, offering a memorable experience that combines Southern charm with championship-caliber golf. Along with the neighboring Seaside Course, Plantation serves as a host venue for the PGA Tour’s RSM Classic
PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass
The PLAYERS Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, is one of the most iconic and recognizable championship golf courses in the world. Designed by Pete and Alice Dye and opened in 1980 as the permanent home of THE PLAYERS Championship, it was the first true “stadium course,” created to provide exceptional viewing opportunities for spectators while offering a fair but demanding test for golfers of every style. The par-72 layout features strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, undulating greens, and dramatic risk-reward holes, culminating in the world-famous 17th hole, an island-green par 3 that has become one of golf’s most celebrated and nerve-racking challenges.
Consistently ranked among the world's premier courses, TPC Sawgrass combines championship pedigree, strategic design, and unforgettable scenery to deliver a unique golfing experience.
Dye’s Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass
The Dye’s Valley Course at TPC Sawgrass is a scenic and strategically demanding par-72 championship layout designed by Pete Dye, Bobby Weed, and PGA Tour player consultant Jerry Pate. Opened in 1987 alongside the famed Stadium Course, Dye’s Valley has earned a reputation as one of Florida’s premier public golf courses and has hosted numerous professional tournaments, including Korn Ferry Tour championship events. The course showcases many of Pete Dye’s signature design elements—strategic water hazards, pot bunkers, sculpted mounding, and visually deceptive shot values—while offering a slightly more forgiving and playable experience than its famous neighbor. Winding through rolling terrain, lakes, and mature trees, Dye’s Valley rewards accuracy, thoughtful course management, and strong approach play, providing a challenging yet enjoyable test for golfers of all skill levels
Bay Hill Club Championship Course
The Bay Hill Club Championship Course in Orlando, Florida, is a legendary par-72 championship layout renowned as the longtime home of the Arnold Palmer Invitational on the PGA Tour. Originally designed by Dick Wilson in 1961 and extensively refined over the years by Arnold Palmer, the course stretches across rolling fairways, strategic bunkering, and the scenic shores of the Butler Chain of Lakes.
Water hazards come into play on many holes, demanding precision and thoughtful course management, while the firm, fast greens provide a stern test for players of all abilities. Combining classic Florida golf architecture with tournament-caliber conditioning, Bay Hill is widely regarded as one of the premier championship venues in the United States and remains closely associated with Arnold Palmer’s enduring legacy in the game.
