Hey fellow golfers! If you haven't teed off at Oak Point Golf Course on Kiawah Island yet, you're in for a real treat. Nestled on what was once a bustling cotton and indigo plantation, this course offers more than just a game of golfβit's a slice of history with each swing.

Aim for accuracy to avoid the bunkers waiting behind the green.
