Course Overview
Set along the tranquil marshlands of Johns Island, Oak Point Golf Course presents an 18-hole challenge that strikes a compelling balance between scenic beauty and strategic play. This semi-private facility embraces the Carolina Lowcountry landscape with meticulous care, offering a layout where water hazards and native wildlife play quiet roles in shaping each round. The course’s generous fairways invite players of varying skill levels to engage confidently, while the intricately contoured greens demand thoughtful approach shots and precise putting.
The design thoughtfully weaves through salt marshes and natural waterways, highlighting how the landscape subtly influences shot selection at every turn. Players will find holes 9, 14, 15, and 18 stand out for their unique configurations, where risk rewards meet carefully placed bunkers and marsh edges that test both length and accuracy. These holes exemplify the course’s character: unpretentious yet memorable, offering a variety of angles and strategic options without overwhelming less experienced golfers.
Course maintenance speaks volumes here; fairways and greens consistently earn praise for their pristine condition. Morning rounds bring a peaceful atmosphere ideal for walkers, while afternoon visits may reveal the area’s local wildlife active near the course, including occasional alligator sightings that add an unexpected, yet authentic dimension to the experience. Players are encouraged to wear stable footwear appropriate for soft turf and to pace themselves across gently rolling terrain.
Beyond the course, the staff contributes to a welcoming environment where hospitality complements the natural setting. From attentive bag drop service to knowledgeable starters who provide course insights, Oak Point’s team supports a smooth and enjoyable outing.

There’s truly nothing like Kiawah! Oak Point was an absolute blast from start to finish. The course is meticulously maintained, with a stunning layout that challenges your game while still being fun and enjoyable. The marshland views and natural scenery are breathtaking — it’s the kind of course where you stop to take in your surroundings, no matter how your game is going. Even if your score isn’t what you hoped for (trust me, there were moments 😂), the beauty of this course makes it all worthwhile. Oak Point has that perfect balance of challenge and charm. The greens roll true, the fairways are generous, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Don’t think twice — book your tee time and play! You won’t regret it.

This was one of the best golf experiences I have had. Yes, it’s expensive, but I found it to be worth the price at the end of the day. First off, we got lucky and the place was empty so it felt like we had the course all to ourselves. We could play at a comfortable pace and take in the gorgeous scenery. The course itself was beautifully maintained, a couple of tee boxes could use some work but the fairways and greens didn’t have a blade out of place. I especially loved the signature holes 9, 14-15, and 18 they were such unique designs. The service and people were first class, we felt welcomed and almost like the staff was honored that we had chosen to play their club it truly was amazing hospitality. From Patrick at the bag drop holding our suitcases all day, to Mike the starter giving us great tips before we teed off for the day and the whole clubhouse staff was tremendously kind and gracious. Maybe we got lucky with the day we chose to play as far as weather and it being slow on a Sunday but from start to finish our whole group kept mentioning how great of a day and course it was
