Tom Fazio design winding through maritime forest, tidal marshes, and three lakes — a beautiful contrast to the Ocean Course exposure.
Turtle Point
Jack Nicklaus design with three oceanfront holes — a more playable complement to the Ocean Course with stunning coastal scenery.

Gary Player design framed by the Kiawah River and tidal marshes — the most accessible of the resort courses and a great warm-up option.

Off the Course
Where golfers actually eat, drink, and hang after the round — the dive bar, the post-round brewery, the coffee spot before an early tee time. Submitted by people who've been, not the food-critic picks.
