Although the course dates to 1947 and a design by Fred Findley and George Cobb, it was heavily renovated in 1999 with a new design by Clyde Johnston. The new layout features many live oak trees covered in Spanish moss. Upon opening in 2000, some critics judged this one of the ten best military courses in the world.

Tee-times are available up to seven days in advance for authorized patrons including active-duty and retired military, DoD, and NAFI. You won't be seeing any actual USMC recruits playing the course, though. :)

Civilians who can legally access MCRD Parris Island can reserve tee-times up to three days in advance via telephone (843-228-2240). Civilians *must* have a tee-time in order to come aboard Parris Island.
