Cotton Dike golf course on Dataw Island

Dataw Island is a small island community near Beaufort, S.C. and is home to two golf courses, including the original Cotton Dike course designed by renowned architect Tom Fazio.

The Cotton Dike course is named for the old cotton dike that surrounds a side of the island, and several holes on the front nine play along it.

The golf course finishes with several holes along stunning marshland, and the par-5 18th hole is a jaw-dropping finish, doglegging left around the marsh to a small, heavily guarded green.

Both the Cotton Dike course and the Arthur Hills' designed Morgan River course are open to members and their guests only.
