The course was restored during the Summer of 2016, and is now more spectacular than ever.

The Jack Nicklaus Golf Experience

Regarded by golf legends as one of the finest 18 holes in the game, the Nicklaus Course at Colleton River strikes an exceptional balance between challenge and playability. Nicklaus tempts you throughout, providing glimpses of the marsh on the front nine before finishing the round in dramatic fashion exposed to the winds and scenic vistas provided by the Colleton River.

In the Fall of 2017, the Nicklaus Course underwent a remarkable restoration unearthing its original classic Lowcountry beauty. This superbly conditioned course rewards players of all levels who have a genuine appreciation for the purity of the game.

Bruce Borland 6-hole Par 3

The Bruce Borland Par 3 Course is a 6 hole executive course. Woven throughout the Practice Park, the course offers every bit as much of the lush landscaping as the Nicklaus Course with the precision of the Dye Course.
