1. Holly Ridge Golf Links Course Review
If you are looking for a tight, tree-lined layout, then turn away now. Holly Ridge is the complete opposite, and provides a very exciting atmosphere for golfers of all skill levels. The first few holes are very straight-forward, and you will have no issues navigating with a long iron off of the tee. The first test comes at the par 3 fourth hole, which has a strategically placed right in front of the green. The miss is long, and if you are able to find the green you will be rewarded with a fairly flat putt. The par 4 fifth hole provides you with the lone drive able par 4, but beware, if you do attempt to reach the green in one trouble awaits. A pond runs up the entire left side of the hole, and if you leave anything off of your driver, the water is not avoidable. The rest of the front 9 is pretty straight forward, and the par 5s are both reach able in two shots.

10. Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Resort Course Review
What makes this golf course truly unique is the fact that its hugely affected by the wind, due to its ocean-side location, and from one round to the next, playing here you may experience up to an eight club difference on holes, depending upon the strength and the direction of the wind. Needless to say, playing the Kiawah Island Ocean Course is massive fun and Pete Dye even designed 2 courses into 1 at Kiawah Island Ocean Course, i.e. one for a westerly wind and one for an easterly wind. Also, this golf course comes with more seaside holes (ten of them, right along the ocean) than any other in the Northern Hemisphere, whilst offering terrific views over the beautiful Atlantic coastline. Bottom line, the Kiawah Island Ocean Course may be one of the toughest to play in the world, but its also fair and it will make for an unforgettable experience, being immensely fun yet difficult, located on a gorgeous setting and being a must-play course if youre in the neighborhood sort to speak.
