Tiger's Eye Golf Links,
Ocean Ridge Plantation's crown jewel, is an upscale
daily-fee 18 hole golf course carved from a virgin pine
and hardwood forest in Sunset Beach, N.C.Designed by
golf course architect and land planner Tim Cate, Tiger's
Eye is one of three championship layouts at Ocean Ridge
Plantation -- Panther's Run, Cate's first solo effort,
and Lion's Paw.Cate and Ed Gore Sr., the visionary behind
Ocean Ridge Plantation, have been collaborating on the
planning, designing and routing of Tiger's Eye for the
past several years.Cate took advantage of the land's
setting, giving each hole its own unique personality.The
varying challenges of the greens mirror the classic
look and feel of Pinehurst. The generous, undulated,
fast-paced greens, which resemble warped plywood, yield
numerous pin placements that are obscured from view
and guarded by water and/or sand hazards.The mature
long leaf pine groves also add to the Pinehurst look
of Tiger's Eye, but the mature, dense hardwood forest
that lines the fairways and encircles the greens remind
golfers that they're in the Lowcountry.
