About this course

Calibogue, Haig Point's championship layout, clings to the very edge of Daufuskie Island, a testament to Rees Jones's deft hand in shaping challenging, yet playable golf along the South Carolina coast. He reshaped a complex with origins dating back to a Scottish links-inspired design from the 1980s. The terrain is characterized by dramatic undulations and the ever-present threat of the salt marsh, placing a premium on strategic shot-making. The course is a thinking man's track, rewarding thoughtful approaches more than raw power. While not a particularly long course by modern standards, its narrow fairways and strategically placed bunkers demand accuracy off the tee and precise iron play. The wind, a constant companion on this exposed island, adds another layer of complexity, transforming seemingly straightforward holes into tests of skill and judgment. Beyond the golf, Haig Point fosters a relaxed, close-knit community, accessible only by ferry. There's a deliberate distance from the hustle of nearby Hilton Head that cultivates a unique atmosphere. Members often gather at the clubhouse after a round, sharing stories and savoring the Lowcountry cuisine. A peculiar tradition thrives here: members often sport custom-made, brightly colored belts emblazoned with the Haig Point lighthouse, a quirky symbol of their shared connection to this secluded golfing haven.

Getting there

The journey to Haig Point Club and Community Association begins at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, roughly forty minutes south across the South Carolina border, though many members arrive via private aircraft at Hilton Head Island Airport just minutes from the Lowcountry coast. From there, the experience turns decidedly maritime - Haig Point occupies the northern tip of Daufuskie Island, accessible only by private ferry from Hilton Head's Skull Creek Marina. The twenty-minute crossing through tidal marshes and winding waterways feels like a passage into another era, delivering guests to a pristine barrier island where golf carts replace automobiles and the pace of the mainland dissolves into something altogether more secluded.
