GOLF
AT KIAWAH ISLAND
The OCEAN COURSE
The Ocean
Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort is to have hosted the 2007
Senior
PGA and hosted the 2012 PGA Championships. The Ocean Course
will become only the fourth course to host each of the PGA of America's
major championships.
Probably
no
other golf course in the world outside of the United Kingdom and
Ireland is affected as much by the wind. From one round to the next, a
player can experience up to an 8-club difference on holes depending
upon the direction and strength of the wind. Built in 1991 by Pete Dye,
there are no prevailing winds on the course. Dye took this into account
when designing the course. In fact, he designed two courses into one –
one for an easterly wind and one for a westerly wind.
Located
on the eastern-most end of Kiawah Island, The Ocean Course has more
seaside holes than any other course in the Northern Hemisphere – 10
right along the Atlantic with the other 8 running parallel to those.
Although it was originally designed to sit behind the dunes, Dye's
wife, Alice, suggested raising the entire course to allow players
unobstructed views of Kiawah’s beautiful Atlantic coastline from every
hole. This improved view, however, made the course substantially more
demanding as it also exposed it to the area’s brisk and unpredictable
sea breezes.
... and now hosting The 2021 PGA
CHAMPIONSHIP!

TURTLE POINT
Jack Nicklaus once
said that his number one goal in golf course design was to “make the
player use his mind ahead of his muscles – to control his emotions
sufficiently to really think through his options before drawing a club
from the bag.” To that we say, welcome to Turtle Point Golf
Club at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, one of Jack’s early designs
and steeped in the finest traditions of classic golf course
architecture.
Because of its traditional design, many of the better players visiting
Kiawah Island Golf Resort would rather play Turtle Point than any of
the other courses on the island. With narrow fairway corridors, small
greens, strategically placed water hazards and plenty of out-of-bounds,
Turtle Point calls for great accuracy and intelligent strategies.
Players not driving the ball well will struggle for par. Since it is
one of the longest courses on the island, proficiency with fairway
woods and long irons is a must. So is the ability to scramble.
Like many of Jack’s early courses, the greens on Turtle Point are
small. So players need to be able to hit shots high if they want them
to stop. The course calls for players to be able to shape their shots
both left-to-right and right-to-left. They will need to be proficient
with every club in the bag and won't necessarily hit a driver on every
hole. And true to Jack's playing philosophy, Turtle Point plays best
hitting to specific landing areas to get the best angles into the
greens.
Turtle Point rated a near perfect “4 ½ Stars” in the 2006 Golf
Digest “Best Places to Play” golf course guidebook.

OSPREY POINT
Generally, courses
of the caliber of Osprey Point
are in private club settings with restricted memberships and high
membership fees. In fact, its architect, Tom Fazio, originally
developed it as a members’ only type course. However, since Osprey
Point is now part of Kiawah Island Golf Resort, anyone can enjoy this
beautiful Lowcountry gem. Not only is Osprey Point a world-class
layout, Osprey Point’s large, elegant clubhouse is available for
guest’s use. It’s a favorite of not only after-round libations
and dining, it’s a favorite location for wedding receptions and special
event functions.
A favorite of resort guests, Fazio used a superb natural canvas to
create a masterpiece in playability and variety. The setting for the
course features four large, natural lakes, fingers of saltwater marsh,
and dense maritime forests of live oaks, pines, palmettos and
magnolias. Into that backdrop, Fazio blended a par-72 layout that takes
advantage of its setting. The course offers a wide variety of holes,
each presenting its own unique challenges and beauty, which are bound
to produce an enjoyable round. Each hole is unique and memorable. There
are four distinctive par-3s, four extremely distinctive par-5s and ten
outstanding par-4s ranging in length from 340 yards to 461 yards from
the championship tees.

OAK POINT
More than any other
course on the resort, Oak Point
has gone through dramatic changes over last couple of years, greatly
enhancing both the quality of golf and the overall guest experience.
The resort purchased Oak Point in 1997, rounding out the championship
rotation of five courses that makes Kiawah Island Golf Resort one of
the world’s great golf destinations. Clyde Johnston, a noted
Southeastern golf course architect, designed Oak Point on the grounds
of former tomato and indigo plantation. With its close proximity
to the Kiawah River and the Haulover Creek, with its surrounding
maritime forest, Johnston was able to mold the rolling landscape into a
first-class layout. Undulating fairways and challenging greens are some
of the unique features of Oak Point.
In 2004, in consultation with Johnston, major renovations to the front
nine were completed. Gone was the notoriously challenging par-4
third hole that featured a sharp dogleg right requiring an iron off the
tee, then a short iron to a green with absolutely no margin for
error. To make up the four shots to par that the elimination of
the hole caused, the green on No. 1 was pushed back approximately 130
yards, changing the hole from a 402-yard par 4 to a demanding 530-yard
par 5 with the green guarded by water on three sides.
Additionally, a new 152-yard par three 9th hole was added next to the
new clubhouse with a picturesque view of the Haulover Creek as a
backdrop.
Oak Point is a shotmaker’s course. Strategy and a thinking approach to
the golf course will be rewarded over pure power. In this sense, it is
a bit of a throwback to the classic courses of the 1920s where the
ability to place the ball in a certain portion of the fairway or a
certain spot of the green was more important than power. Throw in the
beautiful vistas and it is easy to understand why Oak Point recently
received a near-perfect 4½ stars from the readers of Golf Digest
magazine in their biennial “Best Places to Play” poll where it was
rated one of the best values in South Carolina.

COUGAR POINT
One of the most
dramatic vistas on the island is the middle of Cougar Point’s front
nine, along the Kiawah River, making this course a very memorable one.
Originally named Marsh Point, Cougar Point was redesigned by Gary
Player in 1996 and plays 6,875 yards. It features a great blend of
short and long par-4s, great risk/reward par-5s and extremely scenic
and challenging par-3s.
Cougar Point’s long par-4s feature wide landing areas putting the
driver in the player’s hands, and open-run-up areas in front of the
green making them reachable by the shorter hitters using a wood or
long-iron. Its short par-4s feature great “target golf” where players
must find specific landing areas on their drives to avoid obstacles and
provide the best angle to the greens.
It has become a great strategic layout where players need to think
their way around the course. For example, on No. 5, players want to be
to the right to avoid hitting over and around trees. On No. 7 and No.
8, players must be to the left to avoid trees guarding approach shots.
No. 6 has a spectacular view, and No. 17 is considered by many to be
one of the prettiest and most challenging golf holes on the island.
It was recently awarded a near-perfect 4½ stars in Golf Digest’s
“Best Places to Play” reader’s poll.
