Kiawah Island (Ocean)

Pete Dye placed Kiawah's Ocean Course beside marsh and Atlantic wind. The 1991 Ryder Cup gave this exposed design an unforgettable debut on the world stage.

The ocean is visible from all 18 holes, and the wind is rarely irrelevant. Pete Dye's raised, exposed greens turned that setting into a championship test.
