    …not a fan of a hole with a long forced carry on the last hole. Long distance between holes Unorganized Parking Lot Bag Drop area seemed not very functional ability and starting holes across the street causes confusion

    Love the fairways that run into bunkers with no rough line. Challenging but fair course. Conditions are incredible. If given the chance, you should go. The staff is incredible and I love the sunken bar for a post round cocktail.

    Very good test of golf and one of the best clubs to be at in Charleston. Hard to beat a seaside Raynor just 10 minutes away from the best city in the world. Great variety of template holes and can be a real test when the wind is up.

    Always in perfect condition. Routing leaves something to be desired but overall very playable and enjoyable. The whole experience is what makes it so good. Amazing food, drinks, locker rooms, etc

    Typically flat courses are more score-able, but that is not the case at The Ocean; instead, you find yourself battling the various hazards and most notably the daunting wind. Let me be clear, you will feel as if you are playing defense on this course.

How we rank

This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across South Carolina. Rankings refresh about hourly.
