Osprey Point Golf Course ☆ Follow

Osprey Point began as a members-only golf course noted for its playability and evolved into a championship-level course with a world-class layout that was completely renovated in 2014 under the direction of course architect Tom Fazio. The course features four distinctive par-3s, four extremely distinctive par-5s and ten outstanding par-4s ranging in length from 340 yards to 461 yards from the championship tees. The setting features four large, natural lakes, fingers of saltwater marsh, and dense maritime forests of live oaks, pines, palmettos and magnolias.

Since Fazio's design was for a members-only type of course, Osprey Point is very playable for the average golfer, featuring generous landing areas and few forced carries. For the better player, the course is very challenging with plenty of hazards to avoid, numerous risk/reward options and doglegs that go both left to right and right to left, requiring a premium on both accuracy and finesse. Hole 9 is a 461-yard par-4 dogleg left with a forced carry off the tee over a lagoon, with traps and the lagoon guarding the green.

Osprey Point was the site of the 2000 PGA Eastern Regional Club Professional Championship and is ranked 11th in Golf Digest magazine's list of the "50 Best Golf Courses for Women," and was awarded a near-perfect 4 1/2 stars in Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play" reader's poll where it was considered one of the best values in South Carolina.
