Lights Out for Sea Turtles
Because Fripp Island serves as a nesting place for endangered sea turtles, Beaufort County has enacted a “Lights Out” ordinance during the sea turtle nesting season: May 1 – October 31. Lights on or near the beach can confuse the baby turtles attempting to find their way to the water. Please refrain from using any flashlights on the beaches during this time.
For more information please visit frippislandresort.com

Since opening its fairways in 1964, this oceanfront treasure, designed by the illustrious George Cobb – a design consultant for Augusta National and a mastermind behind several Major Championship venues – has offered golfers a unique and breathtaking experience.
