1000 Ocean Course Dr, Kiawah Island, SC
The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort is a classic 18-hole, par-72 seaside layout designed by Pete and Alice Dye. Set on the eastern end of the island, it brings golfers close to the Atlantic, with ten holes hugging the shoreline and eight running parallel to it. Elevated ground gives wide coastal views throughout the round, while the ever-changing ocean wind adds a demanding strategic layer to every shot. Dye shaped the course to play differently in easterly and westerly conditions, creating a layout that can feel like two courses in one. The Ocean Course has also hosted major events, including the 1991 Ryder Cup, known as “The War by the Shore,” and the 1997 World Cup of Golf.
