The Sea Pines Resort's New Atlantic Dunes by Davis Love III Course Opens
The work of Love Golf Design, Atlantic Dunes is a complete reconstruction and recreation of the resort's historic Ocean Course, the first on Hilton Head. Love, the 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain, lead architect Scot Sherman and Mark Love have fashioned entirely rebuilt holes to accommodate modern shot values and frame scenic corridors.

Most notably, Atlantic Dunes now features a pronounced seaside ambience and Lowcountry feel accented by coquina shells and seaside grasses. The project's goal to incorporate elements of the surrounding beachfront along with native pines and oaks lining the fairways has been fully realized with stunning results.

The course benefits both visually and strategically from restoration of natural sand dunes as well as the creation of new dunes blending seamlessly into the design. Tens of thousands of indigenous plants have been installed in these areas to complete the seaside feel.

The playing surface of Atlantic Dunes is a blend of cutting-edge grasses matching the superior strains at the resort's acclaimed Harbour Town Golf Links and Heron Point by Pete Dye. The resort is offering its “Ultimate 54” golf-only package starting at $499 per person through Nov. 6 (Sun. – Wed.) for those desiring to play all three courses.
