Kiawah Island Golf Resort offers an unmatched golf experience with a unique combination of distinctive golf courses. Selected as the best golf resort in the U.S., the resort offers five distinctive, world-class golf courses designed by Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Gary Player and Clyde Johnston.

Known as “America’s toughest course”, the Ocean Course has been host to the 1991 Ryder Cup and the 2012 and 2021 PGA Championships. Located on the eastern-most end of the island, The Ocean Course boasts the most seaside holes in the Northern Hemisphere with ten hugging the Atlantic and the other eight running parallel to those. Although it was originally planned to sit behind the dunes, designer Pete Dye’s wife, Alice, suggested raising the entire course to give players unobstructed views of Kiawah’s stunning coastline from every hole.

This is where the Saturday wedding festivities on 4/30 will occur!

Turtle Point exemplifies Jack Nicklaus’ design philosophy to “make the player use his mind ahead of his muscles." A full renovation of the course in 2016 makes it an exquisite course and a enjoyable place to spend an afternoon.

Making full use of Kiawah Island’s maritime forests, lagoons and saltwater marshes, Tom Fazio’s Osprey Point is one of the most popular courses on the island. Osprey Point also offers plenty of forgiveness even for errant shots with many open and wide fairways and generous greens.

Noted for its playability, this course has evolved into a championship-level course with a world-class layout that was completely renovated in 2014 under the direction of course architect Tom Fazio. The course includes four challenging par-3s, four extremely distinctive par-5s and ten outstanding par-4s ranging in length from 340 to 461 yards.

Oak Point delivers a superior playing surface with its regrassing in Paspalum and greater strategic challenges through a refreshed design. Originally conceived by Clyde Johnston, Oak Point sits by the Kiawah River and Haulover Creek, surrounded by maritime forest.
