Course Information
The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort hosted the 2007 Senior PGA and the 2012 PGA Championships. The Ocean Course will become only the fourth course to have hosted each of the PGA of America's major championships. Probably no other golf course in the world outside of the United Kingdom and Ireland is affected as much by the wind. From one round to the next, a player can experience up to an 8-club difference on holes depending upon the direction and strength of the wind. Built in 1991 by Pete Dye, there are no prevailing winds on the course. Dye took this into account when designing the course. In fact, he designed two courses into one – one for an easterly wind and one for a westerly wind. Do not miss you chance to plat at this amazing course! Approximate Yardages for the Winter Classic at the Ocean Course are as follows: Boys 10U: 4,999: Girls 13U: 5,292; Boys 11-13/Girls 14-18: 5,670; Boys 14-15/Boys 16-18: 6,559.
