The Palmetto Course at Callawassie Island Club is a Tom Fazio design situated on a private island community in the South Carolina Lowcountry, near the town of Okatie between Hilton Head and Beaufort. Fazio routed the course through the region's characteristic landscape of tidal marshes, hardwood forests, and Spanish moss-draped live oaks, incorporating the natural wetlands and waterways into the strategic design. The layout takes advantage of the island's relatively flat terrain while creating visual interest through strategic bunkering, elevation changes on greens complexes, and framing provided by the native vegetation. The course reflects Fazio's design principles from this era, with generous fairway corridors balanced by well-positioned hazards that reward precision on approach shots. Several holes play along or across tidal marshes, requiring carries over wetlands and offering views across the Lowcountry's expansive salt grass vistas. The greens feature subtle contours that demand careful attention to pin placement and approach angle. Callawassie Island operates as a private residential community with the Palmetto Course serving as one of its primary amenities. The club maintains a relaxed Lowcountry atmosphere typical of South Carolina's coastal resort communities, where golf integrates with the broader island lifestyle. The course provides members and their guests with a well-conditioned layout that emphasizes playability across different skill levels while showcasing the distinctive natural beauty of the region's coastal environment.
