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 golf—it's a slice of history with each swing. Designed by the renowned Clyde Johnston in 1989, Oak Point seamlessly marries challenging play with breathtaking scenery, complete with sweeping fairways and sneaky water hazards that demand your best strategic thinking.
One of my favorite holes here is the 12th—a real beauty but don't let its looks deceive you. You'll need to master a precise approach over water to land on a narrow, elevated green. Trust me, choosing the right club for this hole can make or break your score, so my tip for first-timers: don’t get ambitious with your club selection here. Aim for accuracy to avoid the bunkers waiting behind the green.
Whether you're here for a leisurely round with friends or looking to test your skills where several regional tournaments have unfolded, Oak Point delivers an unforgettable golfing experience. So grab your clubs, and let’s meet on the green! For more tips and booking details, check out their website. Happy golfing!
