We lucked out and played on a cool and not too windy day. A must-play and bucket-list course with incredible wildlife on the course. The views along the Atlantic Ocean are amazing and need to be seen by all golfers at least once in their life. It is also the most beautiful and most difficult track I’ve been on. Simply put, the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island is the best course I have ever played. Stay-and-play packages that include the Ocean Course an be booked with either option. Accommodations at Kiawah Island include The Sanctuary Hotel as well as villas. In 2021, Kiawah Island added four Ocean Course Cottages, each four-bedroom, 3,800-square-foot units that overlook the course. The 24,000-square-foot building features the Ryder Cup bar for casual dining and drinks as well as The Atlantic Room for fine dining. Elevating the experience further is an oceanside driving range and putting green, as well as its iconic, lowcountry-inspired Ocean Course clubhouse, designed by Robert A.M.
It has been ranked within the Top 5 public golf courses in the country according to top magazine panels. For daily resort play, the Ocean Course is a walking-only layout that comes with caddies, with the exception of summer months after 10 a.m., when carts are permitted. New tees installed prior to the 2021 PGA Championship can stretch the layout to over 7,800 yards. Its defenses are numerous, from small, elevated greens to huge waste areas that surround plateaued fairways.
The Ocean Course is a windswept coastal layout that plays along a narrow and sandy section on the east end of the island. The headliner of five 18-hole courses at Kiawah Island Resort, the Ocean Course was designed by architect Pete Dye and opened in 1991, just prior to its staging of the 1991 Ryder Cup, otherwise known as the “War by the Shore.” It also hosted the 2012 PGA Championship, won by Rory McIlroy, and the 2021 PGA Championship. The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in South Carolina is one of America’s most prestigious rounds of publicly accessible golf.
