(NC)—KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Two decades after it burst onto the international golf scene as the host of the Ryder Cup, the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is preparing to again be the world capital of golf.
The famed layout along the ocean south of Charleston will be the host of the 2012 PGA Championship. Of course, visitors don't have to wait until then to see the layout that hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup. The course is open year round to the public and is always in tournament condition.
“Because of Pete Dye's outstanding design, there will be a limited amount of work that will need to be done to get the course ready for the tournament,” said Brian Gerard, director of golf at Kiawah Island Golf Resort.
“Plus, it is our policy to keep the course in tournament condition at all times,” he said.
Hospitality packages for the tournament are expected to go on sale in early 2010 by the PGA, but visitors in the meantime can check out the Ocean Course and all the surroundings of the luxurious resort island year-round.
The Ocean Course, recently named America's toughest golf course by Golf Digest magazine, is one of a family of high-end golf courses on Kiawah Island, a pristine, 10-mile barrier island about 20 miles outside of Charleston. The resort also features a world-class tennis facility, beach house and condo rentals and The Sanctuary, a super luxurious hotel and spa.
