Fripp Island, South Carolina Information
Why is Fripp Island real estate so prized? Because Fripp Island
has so much to offer. It's pristine, private and located in the
heart of South Carolina's Lowcountry. Surrounded by the warm rivers
of the Lowcountry and the Atlantic Ocean, this is about as close
to paradise as you can get. The pace of life on Fripp Island leaves
you with little time to do anything more than walk our three and
a half miles of secluded white beach, tee it up on one of our two
beautiful championship golf courses or spend the day exploring our
local waterways. Our Fripp Island realtors cordially invite you
to come and visit one of the best guarded secrets in the country
-- Fripp Island. We offer the finest of rental homes and villas,
and once you're here, you'll feel like you're home.
Fripp
Island Golf
Named one of
the “100 Best Golf Resorts in North America” by Links
Magazine, Fripp Island boasts two incredible golf courses with classic
layouts and distinct personalities. (Both courses require soft spikes
or spikeless shoes.)
PGA champion Davis Love III's first signature course was named "one
of the top 10 new courses you could play" when it was first
built in 1998 by Golf Magazine and was selected for a similar top
10 design honor by The Golfer.
There is a good reason. Fripp Island's newest course is lovingly
carved from land so exotic that it was used as a movie setting for
scenes in both Forrest Gump and Disney's The Jungle Book.
Ocean Creek
is framed by what Jacques Cousteau has called some of the world's
most fertile and pristine salt marshes. Five holes are edged by
marsh, while another six incorporate interior wetlands, preserved
and connected to the course through a network of wooden walkways
and bridges.
Four rolling
dune lines provide another key design element. Some of these ridges
climb as high as 15 feet as they weave across fairways.
Like the critics,
you'll find Davis Love III's Ocean Creek a timeless salute to golf's
best traditions. Fripp Island's oceanfront prize, designed by George
W. Cobb, the talented design consultant for Augusta National.
Recently the classic seaside course was revamped to offer even more
dramatic views of the Atlantic and a keener sense of playing an
authentic links design. New features include elevated tees and undulating
dune perimeters on many holes.
Though just
6,590 yards from the blue tees, this ocean front gem plays longer
due to its sea-meets-land links design. Water comes into direct
play on 10 holes. Prevailing ocean breezes always present a challenge,
especially on the four holes that reach the Atlantic and Fripp Inlet.
Well protected greens also require well-placed tee shots and crisp
iron play.
Visual treats
are part of the fun. The seaside 18th green is one of the island's
best vantage points to watch dolphin frolic. Suffice it to say that
a camera would be a wise addition to your golf bag
