The track turns back inland but nine and 10 play around a nice lake. The par-3 sixth is also scenic with an easy carry over scrub brush. The green at five sticks out into the marsh and is a great place to take a picture. The fourth takes you to the edge of the river, and No.

After that hole, you have to drive through a tunnel that brings you to the most beautiful holes on the course. The third is a beastly par-5 but very picturesque that bends around a lake. In fact, the alligator patrolling the lake caught our attention more. The pathway is busy with walkers, bikers and car traffic but nothing distracting.

The second hole is a little par-3 that is right next to the road that brings you onto the island. The greens were lush but almost shaggy, and you really had to hit putts to get them to the hole. Cougar is exactly what you would want in a resort course – a challenging but fun time. I think Cougar Point is the second-best course in the Kiawah Island group, behind only the amazing Ocean Course.
