The club is private and members are from all over the states and the U.K. 6,960 yards f from the longest tees for a par of 72 . The course rating is 74.5 and it has a slope rating of 138 on Bermuda grass. Designed by Tom Watson. I did cut and paste that info, but it really is an amazing links course. First hole is straight forward par four, but after hitting your second shot on @2, a great par 5 with a great risk / reward second shot, the course really begins to show its character. I may get my hole numbers confused, hole 4 gives you two fairways, but they assign 1 a day to play, 7 is a 100 yard, completely blind par 3, I have hit lob wedge and 8 iton into. 11-12-12 all spectacular,16 is the Turnberry hole, which is the signature hole, 17 is super risky, how much marsh are you willing to cut? The course is just immaculate, I saw a grounds crew member cutting grass around the sprinkler heads with scissors! Enough can not be said about Cassique (the chief of the Kiawah Indian tribe) I will add to this review.

This is a great golf course that is hard! $600.00 per player is a LOT of money for a round of golf. Is it worth it? YES! The best way to play this course is with a caddie. It should be walked from tee to green, not from the sand cart path. There isn't a throw away hole out of the 18 holes. There isn't any out of bounds! Hit it. Find it. Hit it again. This place is just awesome. Lastly, it is one of the finest locations to have a beverage after your round so you can look out at the Atlantic Ocean.

We played two rounds here during our trip and the conditions, clubhouse and the caddies were first class. Despite the high slope rating and reputation for difficulty I found the course to be pretty playable. Most of the trouble comes into play in windy conditions and we were fortunate that the wind was somewhat benign, at least for about half the round. Good caddies helped us avoid getting into big trouble. Highly recommended, and would play again once I refill my bank account.

What kind of "luxury" golf course doesn't have enough carts? ! When we went to the golf shop at the end of the round to see what they could do. They apologized but said there was nothing they could do due to being "busy season." I'm only giving two stars because it is a beautiful course, but don't expect any professionalism or customer service.

When I checked in on Yelp, another Yelper commented saying that I shouldn't review Seabrook Island,…read morebecause more people will find this beautiful peace of heaven. His description is spot on, because it is a special place. Seabrook Island is my favorite local beach. It's a private, gated community, but my friend's family owns property and when she invites me to the beach, I quickly say yes. I've visited for beach days over the last few summers. Property owners submit a guest's name, and when you pull up to the gate, you must say your name, your host's name, and show your ID. Make sure the name your host submits is the same as what displays on your ID- otherwise, the guards may not let you in if they don't match. My most recent visit was July 4th weekend. The beach was busy, but we had plenty of space for our tent, chairs, and towels. The water was wonderful, and beach patrol drove by several times monitoring people. There's a small parking lot near the beach, the owner's club parking lot, and street parking. The beach has handicapped parking, which you must get a pink placard for (you can get this at the guard's station). Aside from the beach, the Seabrook Island Club has facilities on the island that offer golf, tennis, and horseback riding. It's a beautiful place to run or ride a bike, and the beach has bike racks as well. The island itself is shady and breezy, so you can go on a walk without sweating buckets. Seabrook Island is (at least) a 30 minute drive from Charleston, but you can easily make a day trip there. If you're staying on the island, Freshfields Village has a grocery store, gas station, liquor store, and other convenient amenities without traveling far.

Shortly after getting engaged, I researched the Kiawah Island Golf Resort venues and the Kiawah Island Club venues. Not only were they all really expensive, but you had to use their catering and follow their list of preferred vendors. Nothing was jiving with my idea of having an intimate island wedding until my dad suggested Sandcastle. The Sandcastle event coordinator (Megan)* got back to me pretty quickly with more information and dates that were already booked. I had a Fall wedding in mind, but also wanted to pick a date that was at the bottom of the off season, so we went with 12.1.12. Sandcastle is an oceanfront facility that can accommodate up to 180 people, and you can rent one, two, or three rooms. Tables, chairs, glassware, dinnerware, and flatware are included. I was really impressed with their reasonable rental rates-- if you don't qualify for the member rates, then getting sponsored by a member is an option. My favorite thing about having our reception at Sandcastle was that we got to choose all of our vendors.** There are definitely pros and cons to this: It's time-consuming to choose all of your vendors from afar and you have to be okay with the fact that you might end up with wonky centerpieces like we did. However, you absolutely cannot beat the views, huge verandah, and large catering kitchen that Sandcastle offers. *Ask Megan about her day-of coordination services. She did an awesome job and was five million times more organized than the wedding planner we originally hired. **Be sure to check out KICA's Preferential Pricing list for vendor discounts.

For years, they've offered a 15% local discount to residents of Seabrook, Kiawah, and lower Johns Island. Their sister stores in Freshfields offer the same. For years, I've shown my license and been granted a 15% discount, as I live about 1 mile from the store on Johns Island. I live closer than any Kiawah residents (Cassique is 2 miles), while the Marsh Oak condos at Bohicket Marina (Seabrook) are indeed closer than my house. This year I was told by management that they "never" offered discounts to anyone other than Seabrook Club or Kiawah Club members with a Club card. My years of receipts prove otherwise. It's hard for me to continue to support a local business when they are claiming they never had a policy that existed. It's fine if they choose to change their policy, but please do not lie about it.
