According to the course’s website, Dennis Pines and Highlands is a par 71, 6,500-yard course, situated on 175 acres of pine and oak-covered rolling ground on the north side of Dennis.

The course was designed by Jack Kidwell and Mike Hurdzan and opened for play in 1984.

Hurricane Helene hits Augusta area, video shows Rae’s Creek overflowing

There is speculation that Augusta National Golf Club could have suffered significant damage.

More than 200,000 residents in Augusta, Georgia, have been without power after Hurricane Helene rolled through the area, leading to speculation that Augusta National Golf Club, the home of the Masters, could have suffered significant damage in the process.

The Category 4 storm made landfall Thursday night along Florida’s Big Bend coast. Helene brought tropical storm-force wind to the Augusta area (30-40 mph winds with 65 mph gusts).

A video on X showed what appeared to be Rae’s Creek flowing at a high level. The creek flows close to holes No. 11 and 12 at Augusta National.
