Golf at Dataw Island is simply superb. Tom Fazio’s Cotton Dike course lies on terrain that was coaxed from the marshes by a series of dikes originally intended to generate more land for cotton fields during the plantation days. This course requires strategy and accuracy and in return provides an exciting golf experience. The Morgan River Course is
narrower than Cotton Dike, demanding accuracy and providing plenty of challenges on every shot. Both courses feature multiple tee boxes to ensure enjoyable play for golfers of all abilities. For those looking to improve their game, Dataw’s golf professionals offer group and private lessons and clinics, and there’s a fully stocked pro shop on-site.
