Set along South Carolina’s stunning Lowcountry coast just southwest of Charleston, Kiawah Island Golf Resort is truly the golfing jewel of the Carolinas. Known worldwide for its championship pedigree and coastal beauty, Kiawah blends five world-class golf courses with luxury accommodations, exceptional dining, and genuine Southern hospitality.
The resort’s iconic Ocean Course—host of the Ryder Cup’s legendary “War on the Shore” and multiple PGA Championships offers one of the most scenic and challenging rounds in America, with nearly every hole overlooking the Atlantic. Golfers will also find four other distinctive layouts—Osprey Point, Cougar Point, Turtle Point, and Oak Point, each designed by the game’s greats and showcasing Kiawah’s diverse coastal landscapes.
Off the course, guests can unwind at The Sanctuary Hotel, the resort’s Forbes Five-Star oceanfront centerpiece, or in a collection of private villas and vacation homes. Award-winning restaurants, pristine beaches, a world-class spa, and endless outdoor recreation make Kiawah Island the perfect destination for both golfers and non-golfers alike.
With The Getaway Guy’s planning expertise, your Kiawah getaway is tailored from tee time to cocktail hour. Combining championship golf with effortless travel and unforgettable coastal luxury.
Designed by Pete and Alice Dye, The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is one of the most iconic and visually stunning golf experiences in the world. Opened in 1991—just in time to host the unforgettable Ryder Cup known as the “War on the Shore”—this championship layout features more seaside holes than any other course in the Northern Hemisphere, with ten perched along the Atlantic coastline.
Every round here is an unforgettable test, shaped by coastal winds, strategic design, and panoramic ocean views from nearly every hole. For golfers chasing a true bucket-list experience, The Ocean Course stands among the game’s greatest stages.
Originally designed by Tom Fazio and beautifully renovated in 2014, Osprey Point is a stunning example of how championship golf can blend seamlessly with its natural Lowcountry setting. This thoughtful design features scenic lagoons, maritime forests, and native wetlands that both challenge and inspire players of every level.
Each hole at Osprey Point offers its own distinct personality, with four memorable par 5s, four demanding par 3s, and ten exceptional par 4s that reward strategy as much as precision. Known for its playability, variety, and pure natural beauty, Osprey Point delivers a round that’s as enjoyable as it is unforgettable.
Blending the charm of Scottish links-style design with the beauty of South Carolina’s coastal landscape, Oak Point offers a unique and engaging round for golfers of all levels. Designed by Clyde Johnston, the course weaves through tidal marshes, freshwater lagoons, and the serene banks of the Kiawah River, framed by the island’s maritime forest.
Oak Point’s rolling fairways, strategic bunkering, and classic contours create a layout that’s both visually striking and rewarding to play. It’s a course that captures the spirit of Lowcountry golf—where every hole tells a story shaped by nature and tradition.
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Turtle Point is a true shot-maker’s course that demands strategy, precision, and creativity from tee to green. Recently renovated to enhance both playability and aesthetics, the layout winds gracefully through maritime forests and lagoons before unveiling three unforgettable holes along the Atlantic coastline.
Nicklaus’ thoughtful design rewards those who think their way around the course rather than simply overpowering it. Subtle elevation changes, narrow fairways, and small greens create a classic challenge—while the oceanfront stretch delivers some of the most breathtaking views on the island.
Just 25 miles from Kiawah Island Golf Resort lies the historic city of Charleston, South Carolina—consistently ranked among Travel + Leisure’s “Best Cities in the U.S.” Known for its cobblestone streets, pastel architecture, and Southern charm, Charleston offers a perfect complement to your golf getaway. Stroll along The Battery, tour Fort Sumter, visit world-class museums, or enjoy Lowcountry cuisine at one of the city’s renowned restaurants.
Kiawah Island is easily accessible whether you’re driving or flying. For regional travelers from Charlotte, Atlanta, Orlando, or Raleigh, the drive takes less than six hours. For those flying, most major airlines offer direct service into Charleston International Airport (CHS)—just a scenic 35-minute drive south to Kiawah Island.
