Cougar Point is the Gary Player redesign of Marsh Point in the mid 1990's. The course has some of the better views, especially on the front nine, along the Kiawah River. From the back tees, the course plays to 6,875 yards, with a good mix of varied hole lengths and routings, with a great collection of par 3's, and a couple of strong risk/reward par 5s. We played the Cougar tees at 6503 yards with a 127 slope and 71.6 course rating Conditions were terrific all around. It's very well bunkered throughout, providing great shot values from the tees and fairways. The course has nice views of the salt marshes and Kiawah River with generous landing areas on most holes. Cougar has a good variety of long par 4’s framed with tall trees lining the fairways The par 3’s are all stunners with distances ranging from 158 to 201 yards from the Cougar tees. This course is a real winner,challenging when played from the correct tees with beautifully laid out holes

Conditions were great yesterday, the course is very well bunkered throughout, providing great visual frames from the tees and fairways. The course has nice views of the salt marshes and Kiawah River with generous landing areas on most holes. Cougar has a good variety of long par 4’s bordered by trees that give the appearance of wide tunnels to hit through. The par 3’s are all beautiful with distances ranging from 158 to 201 yards from the Cougar tees. The 3 closing holes , all par 4’s, are really terrific finishing holes with a wonderful 388 yard par 4 18th that is a slight dogleg over water to a long, tiered lima bean shaped green. Always enjoy coming back here.
