The Courses at Callawassie

The Dogwood / The Magnolia / The Palmetto

Architect: Tom Fazio Built: 1988

Players will find that all aspects of the game will be tested on the interesting mix of holes on the Dogwood Course. Surrounded by the natural beauty of scenic marsh vistas and home to many of the islands birds and animals, the Dogwood is a great 9 to warm your putting stroke on. With well protected, elevated greens, some having severe drop offs, dialing in your speed early is critical.  At 3,518 yards, the Magnolia Course is the longest of Callawassie Island’s three nines and places a heavy premium on accurate approach shots. In order to successfully navigate the Magnolia, players will need to get the most out of every skill they’ve brought to the course that day. The Good news: Long accurate drives, calculated second shots, and precision play on the par 3s is all it takes to tackle the Magnolia. Piece of cake, right?  Well-positioned ponds present a challenge on seven holes of the 3,443-yard Palmetto nine. Conservative course management, precise positioning, and a deft putting stroke will reward players on this excellent stretch of nine holes.
