Nov 4, 2008 |
Filed Under: Golf Course Design
Kiawah Island, home to the Gary Player-designed Cougar Point course, was recently ranked number one on Golf World Magazine’s “Top 10 US Golf Resorts” list. The resort boasts five championship golf courses which over the years have staged prestigious events such as the Ryder Cup, Senior PGA the UBS Cup and two World Cup events.
Originally named Marsh Point, Cougar Point was redesigned by Gary Player in 1996 and plays 6,875 yards. The golf course was awarded a near perfect 4 ½ stars in Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” and features a great blend of short and long par-4s, great risk/reward par-5s and extremely scenic and challenging par-3s.
