Kiawah Island Golf Resort is a resort on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, located along a ten-mile (16 km) mix of island and beachfront property approximately thirty miles (48 km) southwest of Charleston.

Opened in May 1974, the resort is home to The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, a Forbes Five-Star/AAA Five-Diamond 255-room hotel and spa. The resort also manages nearly 500 private villas and homes and has more than a dozen restaurants.

You are able to choose 1 of the following courses, Osprey Point, Turtle Point, Cougar Point, or Oak Point after 11:00 AM.

Osprey Point- What began as a members-only golf course on the island noted for its playability 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. Today's Osprey Point still delivers on its playability and natural beauty and gets rave reviews for its pristine conditions and elegant clubhouse.

Each hole on Osprey Point is unique and memorable-with four challenging par-3s, four extremely distinctive par-5s and ten outstanding par-4s ranging in length from 340 to 461 yards.

Turtle Point- Featuring three oceanfront holes, this characteristic Jack Nicklaus design features ample fairways, approachable greens, and strategically placed lagoons that put a premium on accuracy and a carefully thought-out approach to each shot.
Turtle Point epitomizes the Golden Bear's mantra 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 his bag." Turtle Point traverses a diverse landscape with holes dictating alternating setups from left-to-right and vice-versa.

Cougar Point- Following an extensive 10-month renovation in tandem with Gary Player Design, Cougar Point reopened on October 1, 2017 to rave reviews-winning over Kiawah Island golfers with its dramatic marsh vistas and superior playability. Whether you've played the old Cougar Point or have never stepped foot on its greens, this renovated course is a must-play at the resort.

Cougar Point's short and long par-4s, great risk/reward 5s and extremely scenic and challenging par-3s demand that you approach your round with a smart strategy.

Oak Point- The proud recipient of the 2019 Charleston Golf Course Owners Association Course of the Year, 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, a noted Southeastern golf course architect, Oak Point sits by the Kiawah River and Haulover Creek, surrounded by maritime forest.

A true shotmaker's course, Oak Point showcases undulating fairways and challenging greens on a meticulously maintained course that favors a thinking approach over raw power.
