Golf Tips

Having Trouble With Controlling Your Putting Distance? Well here is a drill that can help improve your distance control. When on the practice green take five tees and place them at 5, 10, 15, 20, & 25 feet from the hole. Putt five balls from each tee towards the hole and try and make each putt. Remember to try and get each putt to the hole. Use this drill when practicing your putting, not before you play a round of golf.

Undoubtedly one of Pete Dye’s most superb designs, The Ocean Course received worldwide attention as the host of the dramatic 1991 Ryder Cup Matches, and the 2007 Senior PGA Championship. It will also host the 2012 PGA Championship. Named by Golf Digest as "America’s Toughest Resort Course," this 7,356-yard course offers spectacular views along two and one half miles of Atlantic Ocean. The superbly manicured fairways and greens challenge professionals and amateurs alike. The Ocean Course is one of only 17 "5-star" courses in North America in Golf Digest’s "Best Places to Play" readers' poll and it is ranked No. 3 in GOLF magazine's "Top 100 Courses You Can Play". An elegant new clubhouse is the capstone of an unforgettable golf experience.

The Ocean Course is walking only before 12:00 p.m. daily. A caddie will assist you with your game. There is a $65.00 recommended gratuity. Walkers may also carry their own bags if they choose not to take caddies. After 12:00 p.m. carts are optional. Forecaddies are sent with each group. A $25.00 gratuity is recommended.
