Dataw Island Club - Cotton Dike Course

A series of dikes, created to generate more planting ground for 18th century plantation cotton fields, influenced the Cotton Dike course by Tom Fazio. Fazio is one of the country's finest golf course designers known for his waterfront challenges. Jenkins Creek flows by nearly half of the 18 holes, between emerald fields and fairways. For more than three decades, Tom Fazio and his design staff have created award-winning courses throughout the United States. And no living designer has more credits on Golf Digest’s list of "America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses" and Golfweek’s collection of "America’s Best." His Dataw creation puts a premium on a player’s imagination. “From a playability standpoint,” Fazio says, “the seventh hole offers numerous options as a three-shot hole or as a reachable par-five for long hitters, and if the golfer avoids the forest on the right and the lagoons on the left, a birdie is a distinct possibility.

In 2011 the Cotton Dike course was completely renovated and now plays better than ever. It has regained its place as one of the Lowcounty’s finest courses.

Dataw Island Club - Morgan River Course

From the Dataw Island Club website:

The Arthur Hills Morgan River Signature Course demands strategic excellence, with golf architect Arthur Hills’ hallmark Scottish flair.

A round on the course wanders in the shade of massive oaks while you navigate water challenges that inspire both novices and pros. Here, an aqua-shaping technique allows aquatic plants to grow on the ponds, attracting wildlife to the links.

“In searching for the right adjective to describe the Morgan River course,” Arthur Hills said, “I came up with the word - delightful. It’s a delightful golf course.”

COURSE: Morgan River Course

DESIGNER: Arthur Hills

TIME: Starting times begin at 9:00AM on Sunday, July 29
