Golfing Kiawah Island, S.C., for the first time you encounter a landscape that hasn't changed that much since the Kiawah Indians arrived here more than 500 years ago. Osprey and egrets still inhabit the shallow tidal waters, and alligators still prowl the marshes.

Indeed, golf courses on Kiawah Island are some of the most scenic in the country, thanks to the high value developers here have placed on the island's natural surroundings, forsaking commercial temptations in favor of preservation.

The stand-out example is The Ocean Course, built on a site so beautiful even the great Pete Dye resisted doing much tampering. But there are plenty of other examples as well.

Kiawah Island's most beautiful golf courses
The Ocean Course: Dye must have known he had a good thing going when he started work on the Ocean Course. The natural beauty of this coastal property dictated much of his masterful design.

"No golf course in the world has ever improved on nature, but this one comes closer than most," says TravelGolf.com National Golf Editor Tim McDonald. "The way Dye did that was to let the location's natural beauty remain in its simplest state."

McDonald isn't the only one awed by this track. The Ocean Course has received numerous accolades over the years, including a place in Golf Digest's list of the top 10 public golf courses in the nation. Measuring 7,296 yards with a daunting 152 slope rating, the course was also featured in the feature film The Legend of Bagger Vance.
