Completely rebuilt in 1996, this par-72 course was Kiawah's first 18-hole
venue. Designed by Gary Player, the championship course features holes
playing along tidal marsh with panoramic views of Kiawah River. With its

the 1997 World Cup and the 2003 World Cup Championship. Even non-golfers
might recognize the course from its big screen debut in The Legend
of Bagger Vance. With panoramic ocean views on almost every hole,
the course is widely known as one of the country's most-beautiful rounds
of golf. The par-72 Scottish links-style course spans for more than 2
miles along oceanfront dunes with 10 holes playing directly along the

that features four large natural lakes, fingers of saltwater marsh and
dense maritime forest. The natural canvas offers picturesque views and
a variety of challenges. With its wide-open Bermuda grass fairways and
large undulating TifDwarf greens, the course can be forgiving. However,
even scratch players occasionally throw their clubs in the air when stumped
by the course's tricky water hazards and mercurial cross breezes. The
course stretches 6,871 yards from its gold tees, with a slope of 137.
Amenities include a pro shop and several fine dining options along the
Kiawah River. Osprey Point earns 4.5 Stars from Golf Digest's

including the Carolinas Amateur and the 1990 PGA Cup Matches. The Jack
Nicklaus design blends the fairways and greens with the pristine beauty
of natural sand dune ridges and backwater lagoons. Narrow tree-lined fairways,
small well-bunkered greens and numerous water hazards make it a challenging
circuit for even the most seasoned pro. A par-72, Turtle Point stretches
7,054 yards from its gold tees, with a slope of 141. Amenities include
a state-of-the-art teaching facility, a fine pro shop and a brand-new
grand clubhouse built to resemble an antebellum mansion. Turtle Point
earns 4 Stars from Golf Digest's "Places to Play." |
 Oak
Point
Oak Point is noted for its immaculate greens and fairways. It has earned
a reputation as a demanding but versatile course, providing a challenge
for players on all levels. Located one mile outside the main gate of Kiawah
Island, the Scottish-American links-style course plays along both Haulover
Creek and the Kiawah River. Rated as one of "America's Best" by Golfweek
Magazine, the course is characterized by wide, windswept fairways
that stretch alongside salt marshlands and dense maritime forest. Oak
Point earns 3.5 stars from Golf Digest's "Places to Play." |
