Kiawah Island Turtle Point
Kiawah Island Turtle Point
Kiawah Island Turtle Point golf course is not an extremely difficult course to play – however, holes 14, 15 and 16 are quite a bit different from the rest of the course, and are simply stunning with the spectacular 3-hole stretch woven through rolling sand dunes directly along the Atlantic Ocean. There are many houses lining the course, and alligators lurking in the lagoons – so be sure to take extra balls with you.
The layout offers a combination of length and accuracy. This Jack Nicklaus design has led to its selection for several important championships including the Carolinas’ Amateur, the Carolinas’ PGA, the South Carolina Amateur and the 1990 PGA Cup Matches, the club professionals version of the Ryder Cup. After a full renovation in 2016, Turtle Point now offers a low-profile design with fairways and green settings blended into the existing landscape.
