Looking to test your game on the toughest golf courses in the country? Forget about Scottsdale or Palm Springs. Kiawah Island, S.C. is the place for the masochistic golfer.

Kiawah Island is home to the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, a track that recently took top prize in Golf Digest's list of the country's worst ball busters. Designed by top golf course architect Pete Dye, the Ocean Course is known for feasting on average duffers like yourself.

If you survive, and are still hungry for more pain, you won't have to look far on Kiawah Island to find more torture chambers disguised as picturesque golf courses.

Kiawah Island's most difficult golf courses
Ocean Course: This course made No. 1 on Golf Digest's ranking of America's 50 Toughest resort golf courses. This shouldn't be a shock, as it was designed by Dye, a man known for architecting golf courses that make duffers want to weep.

"No surprise to me the Ocean course at Kiawah Island was ranked the hardest course in the U.S. by Golf Digest," National Golf Editor Tim McDonald wrote in a blog for TravelGolf.com. "I've played the course. First, it sneered at me as I strode up to the first tee. It landed a few early jabs, toying with me, then began to work effectively to the body, taking its time."

Measuring 7,296 yards from the championship tees, the Ocean Course has a nearly unthinkable 152 slope rating. The amazing thing is, Dye didn't have to do much to reach this level of difficulty, as he took care to design around the landscape, letting nature do most of the talking.
