Has anyone walked the Ocean Course at Kiawah without takin the shuttle to the first tee and between 9-10?... If it weren't for that shuttle it would be a disaster! Plus walking through all that sand can be very hard.
Others I agree with: Yale, BPB and I'd say Bayonne is in, but boarderline.
Non 10-8's... RNK is in, but Stonehouse another Stranz in Williamsburg is even worse. RNK has 9 miles of cartpath, Stonehouse has 11
That space between Nines wasn't planned. This is from a Charleston "Post & Courier" article from a few years ago:
One of the most noticeable things about the design of the Ocean Course is the expansive area between the front and back nines.
When Dye was building the course, construction had to fall within what is termed the "critical line." Dye said the critical line came right along the ocean, near the original 18th green, doglegged back to the area of the clubhouse and then jutted back out to the dunes.
Dye said that the reason for the dogleg was that when the area was being surveyed for the critical line that the surveyor had followed the dunes, but when he walked over to his truck for his lunch break, he dropped a stake. So, on the maps, the critical line jogged inward.
Dye continued working, but he also lobbied then Gov. Carroll Campbell to help in getting the critical line moved out.
That didn't help in tying the two nines together, but it did allow the owners to build the practice range and clubhouse in their present location.
