The coastline of South Carolina is widely renowned for its incredible selection of world-class golf courses blended with the destination's unique and friendly Southern hospitality. With some of the World’s most renowned championship golf courses finding their home in South Carolina, including the likes of Kiawah Island, Harbour Town Golf Links and a multitude of first-class golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area, you are spoilt for choice when travelling to this part of the World.  

There really is a perfect golf trip here to suit every budget or group size and more importantly, the climate in this part of the USA means there really isn’t a bad time of year to travel. The ability to be able to explore, experience and play world-class golf courses within one state is truly unique and we encourage you to explore everything that this wonderful state has to offer.  

As with all parts of America, the service levels at all golf courses and hotels are exceptional here and we commonly find that once customers have made their first step to play golf over in America they are always keen to explore other areas the following year.  

Charleston and Kiawah Island

Charleston is the perfect area to enjoy world-class golf with the incredible culture, charm and atmosphere that Charleston has to offer. Charleston is a very walkable city, so venturing out for dinner after golf is more than possible and we feel this gives you a great opportunity to explore such an amazing part of the World along with playing some of the United States’ most enjoyable and challenging golf courses nearby. 

Just a short one-hour drive away from the city of Charleston, you will find the outstanding Kiawah Island Golf Resort. The proud home to the infamous War on The Shore Ryder Cup spectacle on The Ocean Course along with four other incredible golf courses directly on the resort. Life is simple here and the staff are first class, always looking to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enthralling as possible. They have a fantastic selection of villas onsite, ranging from 1 bed to 4 bedrooms to suit all group sizes. This keeps your golf holiday nice and flexible, and the large array of restaurants nearby means you have plenty of choices to either dine in or out whilst at Kiawah Island.  

If you are looking to upgrade your experience, our most highly recommended option would be to place yourselves at the Sanctuary at Kiawah Island, a world-class 5 Star property surrounded by the incredible golf courses on offer at Kiawah Island. The restaurants, rooms and hotel facilities here are all first class and this is the perfect base for a special occasion.

Whilst visiting South Carolina we highly recommend renting a car to explore this fantastic state. This keeps your costs sensible but also ensures you have full flexibility to venture out to restaurants in the evenings or indeed organise some off-course activities.
