Golf by Tom Fazio
In designing the 27-hole Callawassie Island golf course, Fazio took advantage of a lush natural environment to create intriguing visual drama as well as excellent playability.
One of the master architect’s earliest designs, the course meanders intimately along the river and salt marshes in a way that environmental regulations make difficult today. And wth a recent $4 million renovation, the three distinct nines play like new. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!
A Certified Community Wildlife Habitat
Callawassie Island is the first South Carolina community to have been designated a “Community Wildlife Habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation. Coexisting with nature—with live oaks and palmettos, with egrets and herons, and with the thriving ecosystem of the salt marsh—has always been important here.
