At Kiawah Island Golf Resort, golf is more than a game. It’s a test of precision and resilience
played out on five immaculate courses—including the famed Ocean Course—designed by
some of the sport’s most legendary names—Dye, Player, Nicklaus, Johnston and Fazio.
Here, demanding ocean breezes meet coastal vistas, salt marshes and towering palms. It’s
where challenge and thrill become the ultimate reward.
The Ocean Course, Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s crown jewel, is one of the most revered
public courses in the nation. Dye-designed and built elevated with more than ten holes
hugging the Atlantic, it delivers unobstructed, windswept ocean views for a relentless, yet
breathtaking test of skill. The iconic course has hosted major events such as the 1991 Ryder
Cup and the 2021 PGA Championship, solidifying its place in golf history. The PGA
Championship is returning to the Ocean Course again in 2031.
Complementing the famed Ocean Course are four other exceptional tracks—Turtle Point,
Cougar Point, Osprey Point, and Oak Point— each offering its own blend of lush Lowcountry
terrain and strategic layouts. Collectively, these celebrated courses have earned Kiawah
Island a position as a top-tier destination for both serious golfers and leisure players alike.
Plan a memorable golf getaway that bundles championship play with resort accommodations
and privileges including preferred reservations for golf and dining, on-island transportation,
racquet programs and wide-ranging watersports. The Ocean Course Cottage Experience and
The Kiawah Ryder Cup Experience are excellent choices for immersive moments on and off
the course.
