About the Course:
Known as the "War by the Shore," the elevated course level gives way to unpredictable winds which can cause a player to experience up to an 8-club difference on holes depending upon the direction and strength of the sea breezes. 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.
