Overview
You’d never know the Bulls Bay site was agricultural land indistinguishable from everything else for miles around. Strantz completely transformed the terrain of this property north of Charleston by excavating earth and creating a ridge on one side of the course. With the clubhouse sitting atop, it’s the focal point of the course and provides elevation changes uncommon for the lowcountry, with several holes playing into and off of the high ground. The lower holes are just as enticing with a mix of long and short par 4s, four lovely and diverse par 3s, two boomerang par 5s and a stretch of holes that border Capers Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Review
“Typical of Mike Strantz designs, Bulls Bay has a lot of character and unique holes. It is a challenging golf course for all levels of player and requires particularly accurate shots to score well. Often difficult to pick the right line to secure the best approach to the greens, good iron play is crucial to enjoying the course. Nice variety of holes in the layout, although some of the serpentine par 5s will be difficult not matter what level of player you are. Huge premium on approach shots given the size of some of the greens and the potential to see some very difficult pin positions."

“Another terrific Mike Strantz design. The layout variety is excellent. Par 3's have a nice variety of length and hazards. Par 5's, while reachable in 2 shots, require precise shots. Errant second shots will lead to a big number. Par 4's have excellent length and elevation variety."

“If you appreciate Mike Stranz designs this is a must. He took a very flat piece of property and transformed it into a very unique low country design that features large elevation changes from tee to green. He created a hill to place the clubhouse on that is so high up that you can almost see it from every hole on the course. Most approach shots will keep you guessing on what club to hit due to the elevation changes and wind direction due to the location from the bay."

“Overall a fun experience but the course is repetitive at parts and there are two par 5's (one on either side) that are sort of odd (90 degree turns). I think the course is more fun the more you play it but the first time you play it, you will most likely get lost."

“I really enjoyed the way the golf ball moved around the course. Have to hit a variety of shots. Different angles will set up these different shots needed. Has a boys club feel to it and very fun. The 9th and 18th holes are very similar because you have to get back to the top of the hill where the clubhouse sits, but otherwise the holes are unique."
