I played the Ocean Course on Kiawah for the first time this past Monday. I went out as a single with a caddy. I teed of at noon and the last group that teed off in front of me went out @ 9:00am. I had the entire course to myself.

The Ocean Course is amazing and it jumped right into my top 5 courses of all time. Every hole is awesome and challenging. Having a caddy saved me at least 10 shots.

It was a great day!

I recently met some members there who obviously love the Ocean Course, but prefer the River Course there. Hope to play someday.

I bet it was pretty hot, eh?

Just played it as well. It was worth every penny. One of the most beautiful and challenging coursed I have ever played.

Per the caddie, I should have sprung for him, I was just telling someone that it would have saved my at least 5-7 strokes.

I highly recommend playing it if you get a chance

I have certainly played tougher courses, so I think the slope is just hype for Kiawah development partners. That said, the Ocean Course is a great course. probably in the top 50 I have played.

What's the course in Arizona (I think) the Mickelson joined? I thought the slope was a little higher than that.

I've played Kiawah on Tiger Woods Golf. Does that count?

    • He tore his Achilles tendon in February, 2024, and wins 9 months later. He is a machine.
    • But he won at -18 !!! Are you going to complain that it was too easy and boring to watch like you do for the PGA Tour?
    • He’s also the best anchoring putter there is!😏
    • And  he  has had alot  of  health issues as you expect  from someone still playing at  67
    • Good read (pun intended) as I have been using my feet more to feel the break and trusting these 65yr eyes less.  The only caveat to my case is that most rounds I wear a carbon graphite brace that runs the length of my left foot (replicates the toe "lift" sensation while walking by putting pressure on the rear of the left calf muscle and makes a great conversation piece to the guys I play with), and I tend to find the weight sensation somewhat muted on that foot when I wear it.  I do occasionally play without it and the left foot read gives a better transmission of info.  However not matter which way I'm playing that day (brace/no brace), pacing off the distance and coming back about 1/2 way and getting a foot read has really helped me determine the break, the startline and oveall pace.  Using my feet has definitely improved my confidence in terms of putting.
