Overall, fast and true greens held the line making well struck putts a pleasure. The course layout is scenic, taking full advantage of the natural contours of a spectacular plot of land. Fairways and rough are immaculate. The course wanders beside and over waterways and saltwater marshes and through dense forests. Hills, valleys, streams and lakes heighten a challenging design by Ken Tomlinson.
Descriptive words paint a contrasting painting of Tidewater.
On one hand, yawning, subtle, tricky, gaping are overcome by stately, majestic and picturesque. It is a complete golf experience. Ken Tomlinson is a story by himself. Tidewater was his first design. He is a tax attorney who fulfilled a lifelong dream by designing and building an award-winning, championship course on a magnificent seaside peninsula.
