About this course

The course, while lacking the severity of many modern designs, rewards intelligent course management and a deft touch around the greens. While Ocean Point hasn't hosted any major championships, it's a cherished gem among golfers seeking a relaxed yet challenging experience.

Getting there

The journey to Ocean Creek Golf Course at Fripp Island Resort begins at Savannah/Hilbert International Airport, roughly an hour's drive north across the South Carolina border, or from Charleston International for those approaching from the opposite direction. The route meanders through the storied Lowcountry, where salt marshes glisten under wide skies and centuries-old live oaks draped in Spanish moss frame the two-lane roads leading toward Saint Helena Island. A final causeway delivers you onto Fripp Island itself, a gated barrier island where the Atlantic laps at pristine beaches and the rhythm of resort life slows to match the tides, with Ocean Creek waiting just beyond the dunes.
