Okay, so I’ve been meaning to dive deeper into the movie The Legend of Bagger Vance, specifically the golf course scenes. That movie just has this… vibe, you know? And the scenery is a huge part of it. So, I decided to find out exactly where they filmed those gorgeous golfing moments.
I started with a simple search, just to get my bearings. I typed in something like “golf courses in the legend of bagger vance”. I figured I’d get some basic info to start with, and I was right.
It turns out, they didn’t just use one course, they used several! That makes sense, I guess, to get all those different looks and feels. I learned that a major chunk of the filming was done at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, in South Carolina.
I dug a little further into the specifics. It seems like they primarily used The Ocean Course at Kiawah. I spent some time, browsing photos, imagining myself there. Man, it’s beautiful! Rolling dunes, those windswept grasses… I can see why they chose it.
But Kiawah wasn’t the only star of the show. I also discovered they used a course in Georgia, the Jekyll Island Club, specifically the Great Dunes course, that also added the film atomosphere. What a smart choice.
So, to wrap it up, my little investigation taught me that the beautiful golf scenes in The Legend of Bagger Vance were brought to life thanks to the stunning backdrops of:
- Kiawah Island Golf Resort (The Ocean Course), South Carolina
- Jekyll Island Club(Great Dunes course), Georgia.
Now, I feel like I appreciate those scenes even more, knowing the real places behind them. I am going to add those courses to my bucket list!
