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.
