Atlantic Dunes Golf Course, originally named the Ocean Course, first opened in 1962 and was a George Cobb design. The Ocean Course was, the first course built on Hilton Head.

Love takes a page from the Pete Dye school of design with hard-edged pier bulkheads around ponds.

Course was in very conditon. Greens were very firm but a bit slow, though they rolled true. Staff was very accomodating.

I really enjoyed the difficulty of this course. I was not very thrilled that the score card had no layout of the course and nor did the hole signs. With many vacationers playing in the area adding GPS would be helpful and speed up play. I will say that the course conditions were beautiful and the views were stunning.
