Golf Fripp Island, SC
Ocean Creek Golf Course
Ocean Creek Golf Course--Davis Love III's first signature course-has
been named "one of the top 10 new course you can play" in
the nation by Golf Magazine and recently given a prestigious 4.5
Star rating by Golf Digest Magazine. The honor is well placed. The course
is lovingly carved from land so exotic it was used as a movie setting
for scenes in Forrest Gump and Disney's The Jungle Book.
Four distinct rolling dune lines provide a major design element. Some
ridges climb as high as 15 feet as they corkscrew across fairways.
Salt marshes and native wetlands also play a key role in the playability
and character. Five holes are edged by vast expanses of tidal marsh,
while another six incorporated interior wetlands, preserved and
connected through a network of wooden walkways and bridges. With
Ocean Creek, Love III demonstrates that his classic, minimalist approach
to architecture yields gracious and powerful results.
