Resort Overview

Our friendly ocean front resort counts many blessings, over three miles of Atlantic beach, a balmy year-round climate and a bridge that sets our island apart from crowds, traffic and any trace of worry. At Fripp Island Resort, our mission is you. We make it easy for you to relax, savor our natural bounty and enjoy all your favorite activities from golf and tennis to swimming and crabbing. After all Fripp is your island.

Golf Overview

Named as a "100 Best Golf Resorts in North America" by Links Magazine, Fripp Island boasts two golf courses with classic layouts and distinct personalities.

Golf Courses

Ocean Creek Golf Course 

Architect:  Davis Love III
Description:
The Ocean Creek Golf Course has won national "top 10" new course design honors from both Golf Magazine and The Golfer, and is the first signature course designed by 1997 PGA champion Davis Love III. Framed by pristine salt marshes and four distinct rolling dune lines that sweep across the landscape and provide a commanding design element, the architectural approach is classic and minimalist. Salt marshes and wetland, sensitively incorporated through a network of wooden walkways and bridges, play a strong role in the character and playability of the 6,629-yard Ocean Creek Golf Course. Perhaps the most compelling feature of the par 71 Ocean Creek is exotic foliage, one reason the acreage was chosen as a film site by the makers of Disney’s The Jungle Book and Forrest Gump.

Ocean Point Golf Links

Architect:  George W. Cobb
Description:
The Ocean Point Golf Links, designed by George W. Cobb, has been boldly renovated to give players added ocean vistas as they play this true, land meets sea, design. While four Ocean Point holes skirt the Atlantic and inlet, the sea, and its constant breezes, affect the look, feel and play of almost every hole. The par 72, 6,556-yard Ocean Point is a must for anyone who loves seaside play and scenery. Our seaside 18th green offers one of the island’s best vantage points to watch dolphins frolic.
