Charleston Courses by a Mystery Commentator

"I like the Fazio course at Wild Dunes Resort. You really get a feel for the ocean and the beach. It's a neat layout that winds through the sand dunes. All the courses at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort are really good, but I play the Nicklaus one the most. The Ocean Course is great, but it beats you to a pulp. Of course, people like to play that one because they want to see it.

The GC at Briar's Creek, designed by Rees Jones, also is a lot of fun. You look across the river right into Kiawah, which is beautiful. It's private so you'll have to finesse your way on. Then there is Cassique GC, which is very unusual. Two other private courses that are worth making the effort to get on if you can arrange it with a member are the CC of Charleston, where I learned the game, and Yeamans Hall CC."

How's the analysis? And, who's the commentator?

The analysis is not particularly deep, but I would it is pretty accurate.

Charleston's own.

Is the Rees Jones as fun as she says? ;) You know even Sandpines can be fun with the right game going on.

She didn't happen to mention her take on Bulls Bay, did she?  I'd think any pro in her league who was from that area wouldn't have missed it by now since it has been around a while.  I'd also like to hear her on the remodel resto at CCofC since she said she learned the game there.  Which one would she care to play every day?  ::)

(of course for me that would be YH ... or CCofC... ;D )

I just spoke with her yesterday. Before reading this article, I had no idea she was from Charleston
