Designed by Pete and Alice Dye and opened in 1991. A windswept, par-72 seaside course with views of the Atlantic from every hole; host of the 1991 Ryder Cup and the 2012 and 2021 PGA Championships.

Dye raised the whole course so the ocean is visible from every hole, then let the wind do the rest. The hardest course a visitor can book, and the fairest.
