MOSS CREEK GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Hilton Head Island, SC, USA
Designed by George Fazio
The South Course at Moss Creek Golf Club opened in 1979 as part of a Tom Fazio design, though records indicate George Fazio was involved in the original planning before his death in 1986, with the project likely completed under Tom Fazio's direction. The course occupies interior terrain on Hilton Head Island, set among the residential community of Moss Creek Plantation on the island's north end, away from the oceanfront layouts that define much of Hilton Head's golf reputation.
The routing moves through corridors of pine, oak, and palmetto that characterize the South Carolina Lowcountry, with relatively gentle elevation changes typical of barrier island topography. Water features appear on several holes, and the design incorporates the natural wetlands and tidal marshes common to this coastal environment. The layout serves primarily as a semi-private amenity for the Moss Creek community while welcoming outside play, reflecting the residential golf model prevalent across Hilton Head's development era of the 1970s and 1980s.
Moss Creek operates as a quieter alternative to the island's tournament venues and resort courses, offering a traditional parkland experience suited to the community it serves. The club maintains both the South Course and a separate North Course, providing variety for members and guests. The setting emphasizes playability and integration with the residential landscape rather than championship length or severe hazards, consistent with the neighborhood golf philosophy that shaped much of Hilton Head's interior course development during this period.
