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.

All the other prestigious golf courses we have been to, will give you your own cart, (unless you know your partner). I'm high risk due to being pregnant, so neither of us felt comfortable riding with a stranger. We ended up walking the whole course because they said there wasn't enough carts. 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.

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!

Me. Ben, James & Molly played here on the Wednesday after Easter…read more We were on a Spring break holiday. Ben had this course recommended by a co-worker who lives in Charleston. An overall good experience. Very small bag drop location. It's better to just pick-up your cart and retrieve your bag from your vehicle as they have a large parking lot. Check in was smooth and easy. Very pleased they offer a Veteran discount of $45.00 for 18 holes with a cart, otherwise its $105.00. They have a driving range but you're required to hit off mats. Very small practice putting area where balls are included. The carts have built in GPS, the tee boxes are well marked and maintained & they offer multiple tee options. All the fairways are fairly wide open, there is a fair amount of water with small creeks and steams coming into play. There are also small ponds on the front and back as you're playing along the Stono River with some nice views. All the greens were in great shape and fairly straight forward. This is a busy and popular place, even during the week, we were delayed about 30 minute off the first tee. Pace of play wasn't great either, so we played about a 5 hour round of 18. Sadly, there was no Marshal to maintain pace of play. The Staff at the clubhouse was great as was the Staff at the grill. I really like that they have the self-service hot dog station with all fresh condiments for an excellent all-beef hot dog. Several great holes on the back 9, especially #18, a par 4, which plays about 250 yards from Senior tees & requires a strategic drive to reach an island green. I would highly recommend this course but don't be on the clock.

In my opinion this is an A+ driving range, not to be missed! Kiawah Island is fantastic for those willing to take the drive and this particular golf course is no exception. A villa at Turtle Point, is ideal if you are looking for a quiet game of tennis or a round of golf on a pristine course with friends. The experience, like many on Kiawah island is really quite great. The grounds are meticulously groomed and the staff continues to check in from your arrival to departure to make sure your visit is impeccable. It is quite the experience! I can't say enough about the jaw dropping outdoor views and beautifully design course landscaping, it is stunning every direction you look. Also, the wildlife is incredible, just so spectacular to take in. Watching the tropical birds, southern fish, baby alligators, and even the flowers is quite marvelous. This is a part of the resort that is simply breathtaking and I do recommend coming here. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would in an instant!

I was a spectator at a women's collegiate golf tournament, and they all made me feel like I need to work on my golf game a lot more than I have lately. Large gator spotted on the front nine that was rather impressive as it swam across the pond. I believe this was the 8th hole, but I could be wrong. Clubhouse is very classic. Locker rooms and restrooms for men and women, pro shop with a lot of merchandise to choose from, and a bar / restaurant for those who wish to refresh after a long round of 18.

Oak Point was one of 3 Kiawah Island golf courses I visited as part of a short golf vacation with…read moresome buddies. Its a Clyde Johnston designed course with some interesting nuance to it. While its a challenging course, playing in somewhat inclement weather made it a bit more challenging. Of the 3 courses we played-- Turtle Point and Osprey Point-- I found this to be the most difficult---certainly based on my score. Just the fact that you start out with a par 5 on the first hole should say something. How about having 3 par 5's and 3 par 3's on the front 9? I don't think I'd seen that before. Then 2 par 5's and 2 par 3's on the back 9. The back 9 for me was much more difficult. The condition of the fairways and greens are what you'd expect from a Kiawah Island course. The folks on the course and the pro shop were very friendly and helpful.

I feel Oak Point is the best course for a variety of skill level players, it would be challenging to the novice golfer and the experienced player will have a fair test, but may prefer the other 4 courses. The par 5's are reachable, but typically guarded on 3 sides with bunkers or other non green zones. Bordering the historic Haulover Creek and the Kiawah River, Oak Point was built on the grounds of an old indigo and cotton plantation. As I mentioned with the other Kiawah golf courses, Oak Point is another example of quality golf that Kiawah Island has to offer. The 18-hole Oak Point plays 6,759 yards of golf from the tips for a par of 72. The course rating is 73.8 and it has a slope rating of 140 on Bermuda grass, designed by Clyde B. Johnston. I have to rate Oak Point at the bottom of list of my Kiawah Golf Courses, but do not have that dissuade you from playing there, it is still excellent..The signature hole is #18

I was genuinely excited to get away and enjoy a round of golf here…read more Unfortunately, this course ended up being a textbook example of how a few bad employees can completely ruin what should be a great experience. The golf shop staff were shockingly unprofessional. Rude, dismissive, and openly negative from the moment I walked in. Golf is supposed to be welcoming even municipal courses understand that but these two employees acted as though their goal was to sour the day of anyone unfortunate enough to interact with them. Every single time I have walked in these two bearded guys in there sit there and do nothing all day and are jerks to every person walking in. Even kids excited to play golf. Their demeanor was hostile for no reason, and the strong smell of alcohol only added to the discomfort. No guest should ever feel unwelcome at a public course they're paying to enjoy. The facilities were equally disappointing. The bathroom was beyond unacceptable dirty, neglected, and clearly not maintained with any regularity. It honestly looked like it hadn't been properly cleaned in years. This alone reflects a serious lack of pride and oversight. Even something as simple as parking was ignored. Leaves and debris everywhere. A quick blow-through would take minutes, yet the neglect is obvious. These are basic standards, not luxuries. Mounds and mounds. What makes this especially frustrating is that the course itself has real potential. The layout and location could make this a fantastic municipal golf destination. But that potential is completely undermined by careless maintenance and, more importantly, staff who seem to actively dislike the people keeping the course in business. This review isn't written out of spite it's written out of disappointment. With the right leadership, accountability, and staff who understand basic professionalism, this place could be great. Until then, be prepared for an experience that feels less like a relaxing round of golf and more like an unnecessary headache. Charleston deserves better from its public courses.
