The Magnolia/Dogwood Course at Callawassie Island Club combines two of the three nine-hole golf courses that comprise Tom Fazio's 27-hole layout.

Eight of Magnolia's nine holes are interior, with the eighth green abutting the salt marsh. The eighth plays as the most difficult hole on any of the nines. It is a par-5 with a dogleg off the tee. Beginning at the bend of the dogleg is a lateral water hazard that comes into play along most of the remaining length of the hole. The well bunkered green backs onto the salt marsh where an errant shot could leave you in that marsh.

The marsh comes into play as a direct hazard twice on the ninth hole and forms a lateral hazard along the remaining length of the hole. Fazio has used his trademark illusions coupled with a small well-bunkered green to make it a very difficult hole.

Dogwood starts out through the interior of the Island, with water hazards on three of the first five holes.
