Built upon a 900-acre marsh preserve, this is the shorter of the two courses here. Nominated by Golf Digest as one of best new courses in America in 1988, this tract is a traditional-style layout, with tight rolling fairways carved through the pine forest. Its finishing holes track along salt marshes and the Calabash River. Their signature hole is the 396-yard, par 4, marsh-lined 17th. While this is the best layout and most scenic of the two courses here, and the staff really try to accommodate, it seems that its conditions always lag in comparison to its sister course, which is, sadly, currently the case.
