The Courses at Dataw Island

Cotton Dike and Morgan River

Cotton Dike

Architect: Tom Fazio
Built: 1995

Cotton Dike, Dataw Island’s first golf course, was designed by Tom Fazio and is set amidst terrain shaped by historic dikes used for cotton fields during the plantation era. The 18 holes require strategic thinking and precision, offering golfers a rewarding experience with diverse challenges. Approximately half of the course borders the marsh and Jenkins Creek, providing a captivating blend of Lowcountry natural beauty and Fazio’s meticulous design. In 2011, the Cotton Dike course underwent a comprehensive renovation, reclaiming its status as one of the Lowcountry’s premier courses.
