Why play it

No. 4 is most useful in conversation with No. 2. Hanse’s larger gestures and expansive vistas reveal another way to make sandy Carolina ground strategic.

The 2018 redesign used exposed sand, native vegetation and rolling terrain to create a course that feels regional without imitating Donald Ross.
