Fripp Island - Ocean Creek Fripp Island

Davis Love III's first signature golf course, Ocean Creek Golf Course, was named "One of the top 10 new courses you can play" by Golf Magazine. The honor is well-placed. The course is carved from land so exotic it was used as a movie setting in both Forrest Gump and Disney's The Jungle Book. Four distinct rolling dune lines provide a major design element. Some of these ridges climb as high as 15 feet as they corkscrew across fairways.

Salt marshes and native wetlands also play a key role in Ocean Creek's playability and character. Five holes are edged by vast expanses of tidal marsh, while another six incorporate interior wetlands, preserved and connected to the course through a network of wooden walkways and bridges.

With Ocean Creek Golf Course, Love III demonstrates that his classic, minimalist approach to architecture yields gracious and powerful results.

Fripp Island is beautiful 3,000-acre resort, located 19 miles east of Beaufort. With three-and-a-half miles of beach facing the Atlantic Ocean, tidal marsh views and wildlife galore, Fripp offers resort living in a serene setting.
