Oak Point Golf Course at Kiawah Island Resort

Golf Course Description

This resort, which was named to “GOLF Magazine’s” 1998 list of “Silver Medal Resorts,” features four outstanding eighteen hole courses.Tucked away in the center of Hope Plantation just outside of the Kiawah gate, Oak Point Golf Course (4255 Bohicket Rd., John’s Island, SC 29455) is the newest addition to Kiawah Island Golf & Tennis Resort. Referred to most frequently as a Scottish-American style course, this par 72 course is challenging to both the novice golfer and the experienced professional. Oak Point borders the historic Haulover Creek and the Kiawah River and was built on the grounds of an old indigo and cotton plantation. Wide areas of windswept fairways stretch alongside salty marshes interspersed with densely forested areas of live oaks, magnolias, pines and palmetto palms. Also indicative of the Lowcountry are Oak Point’s numerous vistas of fresh water lagoons and winding creeks. The head golf professional at Oak Point is Mike Arthur. Current green fees are $85 outside and $75 for guests of the resort.Golf Packages are available, and you may make your tee time reservations when making your hotel accommodations. The green fees for each of the four courses are seasonal and subject to change several times throughout the year. Guests may stay in villas overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, lagoons, tennis courts or the fairways. The villas include complete kitchens. There is a 150 room Kiawah Island Inn also available for room accommodations. Amenities and activities include tennis, bike rides, nature tours, kayak tours and 10-mile-long private beach. In West Beach, located by the Kiawah Island Inn, you may dine poolside at the Sundancer Grill, at the formal Atlantic Room or the informal West Beach Café. In East Beach you may dine poolside at the Night Heron Park Grill or The Village Bistro. Osprey Point’s Clubhouse offers formal dining while The Ocean Course Grill offers a more relaxed menu (and some of the best Crabcakes and burgers in the Lowcountry).
