Ocean Point Golf Links is Fripp Island Resort’s original home of golf. This oceanfront prize opened in 1964, and was designed by George Cobb - the talented design consultant for Augusta National and several other courses that have hosted Major Championships. Mr. Cobb produced a seaside masterpiece for us to enjoy here at Fripp Island!
Recognized by Corporate Meetings & Incentives as a Golden Links Award Winner, Ocean Point has received a 4 STAR rating by Golf Digest. The traditional links-style par 72 layout is found on the northern most point of Fripp Island and features several holes that are situated directly on the Atlantic Ocean and the Fripp Inlet. The majestic views on the 9th, 10th, 14th, 15th, 16th, and 18th, holes will rival any in golf.
"The Point" features well-bunkered, small greens that place a premium on accurate iron play. But since Mr. Cobb knew that the wind would be a factor on this seaside course, he afforded the players a chance to run the ball onto the majority of the greens. When you play Ocean Point Golf Links on a breezy day, you will gain a new appreciation for a well designed links course and the unique balance of nature's majesty. |
