Hopefully you will be warmed up and ready to play some challenging golf, because Osprey Point will give you that challenge, especially if the wind is consistently blowing. This Tom Fazio designed golf course, completely renovated in 2014, has some of the best and most challenging par 3s I have personally ever played on, with incredible bunker complexes that make it extremely penal if you miss the green. Holes 1 and 2 are extremely demanding off the tee, as the first hole has water all along the left side, while the second hole requires a forced carry over a large pond that plays a factor from tee to green. If the wind is whipping in its usual direction, all holes facing north will pose a great challenge; an example of this is the 9th hole, a 460 yard par 4 from the tips that can play upwards of 500 yards and requires not only a forced carry over water, but a spectacular second shot that both misses the driving range on the right and water hazard on the left. Osprey Point is an amazing and beautiful challenge from start to finish, as it is consists of beautiful ponds and homes, while having extremely well manicured paspalum greens and fairways. This incredible golf course is also roughly 6900 yards from the tips, but can play much longer when the wind is howling. This course ranges from $170 in the winter to $262 in the prime season, and is roughly an 18 minute drive from the Andell Inn a 30 mince drive from John's Island, and a 57 minute drive from the Beachside Boutique Inn.
