What makes a South Carolina golf package so special?

South Carolina has so many outstanding golf courses available. There is ample choice when it comes to not only the golf courses but also the accommodation and post-golf activities, we’re sure that no matter what you choose, you’ll want to return for more.

The state has everything, including bucket-list golf courses such as the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, host of the Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship, to a PGA TOUR venue at Harbour Town Golf Links, featuring the iconic red and white hooped lighthouse as the 18th hole backdrop.

Other must-play courses while in South Carolina are the Links and Harbor courses at Wild Dunes Resort in Charleston, both of which offer a challenging test while still providing scenic views of either the Atlantic Ocean or Intracoastal Waterway.

Courses & resorts for everyone

Aside from the bucket-list courses South Carolina has to offer, there is certainly something that suits every taste and budget. Hilton Head Island contains a great variety of layouts, from links with holes along the Atlantic Ocean to resort-style tracks with unlimited playing options.

Kiawah Island Golf Resort, with 5 courses onsite by five different legendary designers, offers a different style of play on each, carefully crafted by the likes of Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus. Even more, you have the choice to stay in a villa, with your own kitchen, living room, and private bedroom, or opt for the 5-star Sanctuary Hotel.

Charleston presents possibly the greatest variety, from courses lined with majestic oaks and towering pines, similar to what you might find in Augusta, to courses that play along the marshes and wetlands. Experience oceanfront golf at Wild Dunes Resort, where the finishing three holes on the Links Course play along the Atlantic Ocean. You can also choose to stay here and enjoy all the amenities the resort has to offer, or elect to stay right in the heart of downtown at the Francis Marion Hotel.

Things you should see & do in South Carolina

South Carolina is quite simply a golfing paradise and with so much to keep you entertained both on and off the course, it’s little wonder why it's such a popular destination. The warm Southern hospitality, great weather, white-sand beaches, and outstanding food make it an easy choice for families, friends, and couples alike. Visit stylish Charleston, which was recently voted one of the top places to visit in the US, to experience delicious cuisine and charm.

Myrtle Beach is widely known for its fantastic selection of budget-friendly golf courses but is probably better known as a popular beach vacation spot. Take a stroll along the beach or the boardwalk and let the calming ocean breeze keep you cool.

While Hilton Head is also a popular spot for beach vacations, the island exudes a greater sense of tranquility. Experience all that the Lowcountry has to offer, from fresh seafood to the peaceful sandy beaches. Make sure to check out the many quaint shopping plazas throughout the island.
