| Notes: |
The
Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Community Services Division, sought
to rebuild the base’s 1947 Fred Findley-designed golf course. Located
on the southern most tip of Parris Island in southeastern
South Carolina
, the site is bordered by
salt marsh wetlands and deepwater creeks on the southern, eastern and western
boundaries. Freshwater wetlands
are located throughout the interior of the site. The site is known for the
historic Spanish settlement of Saint Elena and also hosts the largest
population of Live Oak trees in the state. A case
study of this project is available in pdf format. A picture of the course
layout is also available.
