From the reviews
The Dataw Island Cotton Dike course is one of my favorite in America. The views are unmatched in the Southern part of the United States. You will have about eight or nine tee shots in which you will be on the water.
Beautiful setting - don't even attempt travelling unless you want to spend the entire day there...by boat only!
Data Island is such a beautiful place to get married!! I am a local wedding photographer and LOVED the venue!!!
Getting married at Dataw Island
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
