Top 7 Golf Courses on Seabrook & Kiawah Island

Traveling to Seabrook in 2024? Seabrook Island is home to two award-winning Audubon Sanctuary golf courses, offering an unparalleled golfing experience surrounded by nature and immersed in luxury. The Seabrook Island Club became the first golf club in the state to become a certified member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf in 1996. To this day, the island’s eco-friendly golf courses continually rank among the “best you can play” courses in South Carolina. 

Seabrook Island Club features two 18-hole championship golf courses, the Ocean Winds Golf Course and Crooked Oaks Golf Course. These two courses are open only to Seabrook Island Club members and guests, but we have good news… Almost all of our rentals here at Seabrook Exclusives include a complimentary amenity card to the Seabrook Island Club. That means you get to experience these legendary courses for yourself with a premier level of privacy, picturesque surroundings, and year-round PGA professional golf, without the crowds! 

With only two golf courses to choose from on Seabrook Island, we’ll also explore the nearby Audubon championship courses over on Kiawah Island. The Kiawah Island Golf Resort courses are open to the public, so you can make a quick five to ten minute drive over to Kiawah for a day pass to enjoy the best of both islands. Ready to start planning your must-play golf courses on Seabrook and Kiawah Island? Read on!


1. Ocean Winds

Ocean Winds is a challenging par 72 course with 18 holes and 6,802 yards designed by Willard Byrd. This strategic course will take you to the Atlantic Ocean with staggering winds and unpredictable conditions for a test of your true ability. 

Recent renovations spearheaded by Rees Jones, Inc. have made the course even more challenging. Up for the challenge? Head over to Seabrook Island Club with your complimentary amenity card when you stay in our select rentals and test your skills!


2. Crooked Oaks

The Crooked Oaks Course, reminiscent of its name, is a winding course through maritime forest, marsh, and ancient mossy oaks requiring apt ability to strategically plan your play. The challenging par 72 course features 18 holes and 6,780 yards designed by Robert Trent Jones.
Want to experience the best of Seabrook golf with stunning island views and a challenging course? Visit Seabrook Island Club’s Crooked Oaks with your complimentary amenity card when you stay in select rentals with Seabrook Exclusives!


3. The Ocean Course

The Ocean Course is ranked the #4 Public Golf Course in the US and ranked among the Top 25 of 100 Greatest US Golf Courses by Golf Digest. Kiawah’s Ocean Course is a true test of skill for avid golfers as a par 72 course with 18 holes designed by Pete and Alice Dye.

This course lies at the easternmost point of the island with ten holes hugging the Atlantic Ocean, making it the most beachfront course in the Northern Hemisphere. While this makes for one-of-a-kind unmatched scenery as you golf with a panoramic ocean view, it also exposes players to difficult breezes and unpredictable winds. If you’re up for the challenge, The Ocean Course is the number one course on Kiawah Island that should make it to your must-play list!


4. Oak Point Golf Course

The Oak Point Golf Course was awarded the 2019 Charleston Golf Course Owners Association “Course of the Year” for its strategic challenges and fresh design. The par 72 course features 18 holes designed by Clyde Johnston, a well-known Southeastern golf architect. 

Think you have what it takes to take on the Oak Point Golf Course with strategy over power? Then Oak Point Golf Course should be next on your list!


5. Osprey Point Golf Course

Osprey Point Golf Course started out as just a private members-only golf course, but quickly became well-known for its playability and notable layout. Now known as one of Kiawah’s championship Audubon certified courses, Tom Fazio led its renovation in 2014.

Every hole on the Osprey Point Golf Course is notable, with four par-3s, four par-5s, and ten par-4s ranging from 340 to 461 yards. If you’re up for the challenge, head over to Osprey Point Golf Course for a challenging but memorable day on the green!


6. Turtle Point Golf Course

The Turtle Point Golf Course underwent extensive renovations in 2016 with architectural and design assistance from Jack Nicklaus and his team. Since these improvements, the course has seen rave reviews from fans and golfers across the nation. The par 72 course features 18 holes with new Paspalum grass, rebuilt bunkers, laser-leveled tee boxes, and reestablishment of irrigation.

Ready to test these improvements for yourself and prove Jack Nicklaus’ “mind over muscle” strategy? Add the Turtle Point Golf Course to your list!


7. Cougar Point Golf Course

Cougar Point Golf Course reopened in 2017 after undergoing thorough renovations and designs led by Gary Player. Now winning over locals and visiting golfers alike, this par 72 course features 18 holes with stunning marsh views.

Whether you’ve played this beloved course before its renovations or you’re new to Kiawah’s golfing scene– Cougar Point Golf Course is a must on your next trip!
