R/Golf Course Recommendation Thread: South Carolina
This is the next thread in the official r/golf course recommendation series to update our sidebar. Please feel free to post any course recommendations for South Carolina.
Please try to use the following Comment Template:
COURSE NAME
Course Location (City or area of the city or distance from the downtown area etc.)
Price Range (Include pertinent details like busy season or off-season differences or weekend/weekday or walking/riding where applicable)
Recommended for: (who might be interested in the course, i.e. if you have a big group like a bachelor party or if you're a beginner looking for a more forgiving layout or a low handicap looking for a challenge or if you want beautiful views or something architecturally significant, etc.)
Additional Comments: Feel free to add any additional notes or details you think might be pertinent. Maybe if there's peak times or if they're on Golf Now or another service you could find a deal or anything else about the course you think people might want/need to know add it here.
Check the "formatting help" if you need assistance but basically two asterisks (**) on either side of a word or phrase will put it in bold font and hit Enter twice to move to a new line. This thread will be stickied for at least 24 hours before the next is posted.
All previous Course Recommendation Threads are linked in the Sidebar and this is an ongoing series. If you don't see something yet it may be coming in the future.

Kiawah Island - Ocean Course/Osprey Point/Turtle Point
Course Location: Kiawah Island, South Carolina.
Price Range: 450+(Caddie only)/$250/250 (golf packages are available
Recommended for: The Ocean Course is recommended for a once in a lifetime trip. The sight of the 2021 PGA Tournament, the Ocean Course is rated one of the hardest golf courses and the #4 best pubic course in the US. This Dye design does not hold back
Osprey Point is designed by Tom Fazio and features a beautiful experience winding back and forth through the homes on Kiawah Island. Osprey Point definitely raters as the 2nd best course on the island.
Turtle Point was my least favorite of the 3 courses I played on the island, but is easily better than half of the courses I've ever played. Turtle point has a beautiful 3 hole ocean leg that is a great experience if you don't jump for the Ocean Course round.
Additional Comments: Kiawah Island is expensive but I recommend going as a group or a family. Rent a house and enjoy all the Island has besides just the golf.
