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.
