With the course winding through natural lagoons and the marshlands of the Intracoastal Waterway, golfers can quickly lose themselves in the beauty and natural wildlife found here.

Golf Magazine named Coosaw Creek a "Must Play" course in Charleston and Golf Digest recently awarded the course 3 1/2 stars

Designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1991 before the Ryder Cup Matches, The Ocean Course gained instant notoriety as the site of the most dramatic "War by the Shore," a battle decided literally by the final putt of Sunday's final match. In 1997, The Ocean Course hosted the World Cup of Golf, with the world's finest golfers from 32 countries competing in the stroke play tournament. But with all 18 holes offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, it's likely The Ocean Course would have earned widespread acclaim had no tournament ever been played there. Located at the Eastern end of Kiawah Island, the course negotiates along 2 3/4 miles of pristine oceanfront property. According to Pete Dye, "There's no other golf course in the Northern Hemisphere that has as many seaside holes."

At Osprey Point, Fazio used a superb natural canvas to create a masterpiece in playability and variety. The setting for the course features four large, natural lakes, fingers of saltwater marsh, and dense maritime forests of live oaks, pines, palmettos, and magnolias. Into that backdrop, Fazio blended a par-72 layout that takes advantage of its setting.

Opened in 1981, Turtle Point is a low-profile design with fairways and green settings blended into the existing landscape.

Located across the harbor from Charleston, South Carolina's most historic city, Patriots Point is a par-72, championship golf course with the feel of the great links courses of Scotland. The layout is set on a secluded penninsula, surrounded by the waters of Charleston Harbor. The ever-changing wind that typically sweeps across the harbor also shapes the personality of the challenge from one round to the next. Any trip to the historic City of Charleston isn't complete without a round at this memorable course.

The newest addition to the Charleston golf scene is RiverTowne Country Club, an Arnold Palmer Signature Course. Thirteen holes were built along the Wando River and Horlbeck Creek, giving the golfer spectacular views of the surrounding marshland. Tree-lined fairways feature generous landing areas, while strategically placed bunkers and lakes frame every hole. The greens are multi-tiered and fast, making the short game that much more important. The course opens November 1, 2001 for limited play.

Cut among the Pines, Live Oaks and Dogwoods of North Charleston, Westcott Plantation will bring you the style and grace of the "Old South" with an interesting combination of doglegs and elevation changes. The beautiful 27-hole layout by Dr. Michael Hurdzan opened in 1999 to much applause. Combine the Burn Kill and Black Robin courses and from the back tees you have one of the most difficult 18 holes in all of South Carolina. Don't let that deter you; however, as all three nines are fair for every player.
