KIAWAH ISLAND GOLF RESORT
🇺🇸 Kiawah Island, SC, USA
Designed by Tom Fazio
Osprey Point, a jewel within Kiawah Island Golf Resort, presents a course where water is a constant companion, a Lowcountry tapestry woven from Pete Dye's strategic genius. Originally designed by Tom Fazio, Dye reimagined the layout in 1988, transforming it into a more forgiving, yet still challenging, experience for players of all levels.
While not a major championship venue, Osprey Point is highly regarded for its playability. Broad fairways and receptive greens offer a sense of openness rare on Kiawah, though Dye's signature mounding and strategically placed bunkers ensure a cerebral round. The course winds through maritime forest, showcasing the natural beauty of the island, with the occasional alligator sighting adding a touch of wild intrigue.
Osprey Point is a place where members and resort guests alike find enjoyment and challenge in equal measure. While it lacks the historical gravitas of its Ocean Course sibling, Osprey Point stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of thoughtful course design in a stunning natural setting. A post-round beverage on the patio overlooking the closing holes is the perfect way to cap off a day, swapping tales of near misses and triumphant pars amidst the tranquil sounds of the South Carolina coast.
Reviews
Very similar to turtle without the trio of ocean holes. A few fun holes but it’s just a standard resort course.
