2021 USPGA host venue: Kiawah’s Ocean course
Pete Dye’s Ocean course is a modern-day masterpiece, while GaryPlayer’s course at Sun City is South Africa’s most revered track
Kiawah Island Ocean – USA
The host of this year’s USPGA Championship, won in such thrilling fashion by Phil Mickelson – at the age of 50! – Kiawah Island’s Ocean course has plenty of bite to add to its bark. Pete Dye’s creation takes you out and back along the South Carolina coast and with other courses also on the Kiawah Resort (Turtle Point, Osprey Point, Oak Point and Cougar Point) visiting golfer are spoilt for choice.
But it is Dye’s Ocean course that ticks the boxes, with every hole presenting a unique challenge. Weighing in at 7,876 yards from the back pegs, lesser players can enjoy a less-daunting test from numerous tee options. Venue of the controversial 1991 Ryder Cup’s ‘War on the Shore’ as well as the 2012 USPGA, the Ocean course is rightly famed as one of America’s iconic venues.
