This course has a lot of great holes, with challenges on almost all holes. The two ocean holes are great, and the ocean views from many of the holes make the course a special place, not just another cut through the woods.

The greens and fairways are in exceptional shape. Rough is short but very thick. Great challenge for all levels of play.

Another great layout and having an ocean view on about six (6) holes, really finishes off a great day on the course. Another great Fripp Island / G. Cobb layout but having houses lining some fairways takes away from the other great holes. Conditions are just plan fantastic from Tee to smaller size greens and the hazards (water) seem to be everywhere and we found them. The wind seems to swirl and then blow depending where you're standing causing club selection problems. The views on holes #9 / #18 will stay with you forever. Played the Blues 6,556yds / 72.4/132 and Shot 43/44 w/ 34putts and son Barry, well he got his moneys worth. Great yardage markings on sprinkler heads and with yardage book, help with distances wherever you are. Where else do you get the chance to hit a ball into the Atlantic Ocean by accident or on purpose?? Must play both of these Fripp Island courses if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed.
