Ocean Course Clubhouse

I thought I died and went to heaven. The course is amazing and the greens are spectacular.. as well as the views. Jasper our caddy was a gentleman and had a great deal of knowledge about the course and area.. I would have Jasper caddy again for me!

I was able to play this amazing course with my bucket list crew recently, it was the second time for me. To sum it up, The Ocean Course is unlike almost all other courses out there. It has so many holes right on or in full view of the ocean which makes this an obviously picturesque course. Interestingly, the course has no 'bunkers' per se. If you are aware of this course, you might be scratching your head. The official rule is that - there are no bunkers... all the sand is considered waste areas. Believe me when I say that there is a lot of sand/waste areas, much of which is definitely in play on almost all shots to be played here. Considering this, the course is definitely a challenge for the average golfer & even the better than average golfer. Many/most approaches to the greens are met with raised doomed greens that just let your balls slide off into the greenside waste areas. The course is kept in very good shape & the design is excellent. Caddies are pretty solid & definitely earned their wages the 2 days we played the course. I say that they earned it because unfortunately, during our 3 day stay the winds were near zero & also headed from the mainland side. It was "unusual" yes, but not unheard of. This caused 2 things to occur during our visit : 1. a crazy out of control swarm of mosquitos on 15 out of the 18 holes played. Even if you were in the center of the fairway(although that was best), their incessant buzzing/biting was at best terribly distracting & at worst caused the entire round to be a complete disappointment. One player on our group had close to 40 stings/bites. Numerous foursomes quit their round after only 3-6 holes being played, yes it was that bad. No, bug spray/repellant whatever- it had only a 2-4% effect(i.e. basically no effect). 2. The other 'thing' this 'unusual' weather/wind pattern caused was a tornado that turned into a waterspout right between the course(Kiawah Island) & the mainland. See pics, very cool. The clubhouse restaurant food & drinks were very good, but not cheap as to be expected.

The staff is great. They truly do Kiawah justice by providing a professional and friendly atmosphere. It doesn't matter if you're a scratch player or new to the game, everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Was super pumped to get here and play. And left absolutely annoyed. Staff was all great but as soon as I stepped onto the “driving range” I was trapped. It was basically like hitting balls at a public park near your house. Bumpy as could be from the million divots, it was not the typical driving range you find at shy other course. First hole was beautiful until you get into the green. Thousands of ball marks litter the entire greens. Not just where the pins are, but the ENTIRE greens. It was really really shocking (in a disappointing way). The price to play here is ridiculous- really is not worth it unless money is no issue for you and you just don’t care. I’d add a pic but I didn’t take any. lol Overall- from my experience of the course maintenance and what you think you’re going to expect, find somewhere else to play

Came here to grab a drink at the Ryder Cup Bar and watch the sunset. It was crowded but we got a place to sit right up at the bar. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The views are incredible and the golf course looks unmatched! Can’t wait to come back and play the course.

Top 3 lunch experience of all time. The atmosphere, service, food and beautiful setting make this a 10/10. Kiawah itself is amazing and the Ocean Course Clubhouse only adds to it.

Is the ocean course is one of the most beautiful courses around!! Is a true gem for South Carolina And a challenge to the best golfers in the world. 99 out of the top 100 were there this past week! Come see and play!

A Favorite. Especially love the Ryder Cup Bar's expansive covered porch with a view of the 18th hole AND the Ocean. What could be better than that?! The food is always good. Love the crispy Shrimp. Great drink menu. Very Professional service.
