Kiawah Island
Oak Point
Lowcountry resort
Oak Point is useful resort depth. It works for arrival, departure, softer groups, and days when the group does not need another beating. It is also the first course to cut when time is tight.

Beautiful course. Alot of wild life. the weather was cold and windy but we still had a great time. Great layout and fun. Challenging but not penalizing.
