“Selected as the host site for the 2012 PGA Championship, The Ocean Course is one of Pete Dye’s most superb designs. It first received worldwide attention as the host of the dramatic 1991 Ryder Cup Matches. In 2007, it hosted the Senior PGA Championship. Named by Golf Digest as “America’s Toughest Course,” this 7,356-yard course offers spectacular views along two and one half miles of Atlantic Ocean.
The superbly manicured fairways and greens challenge professionals and amateurs alike. The Ocean Course is one of only 24 “5-star” courses in North America in Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” reader’s poll.
Owned and operated by Kiawah Island Golf Resort, The Ocean Course is walking only before 12:00 p.m. daily. A caddie will assist you with your game. There is a $65.00 recommended gratuity. Walkers may also carry their own bags if they choose not to take caddies. After 12:00 p.m. carts are optional. Forecaddies are sent with each group. A $25.00 gratuity is recommended.
