Turtle Point—Kiawah Island, SC
This is a Jack Nicklaus designed course on Kiawah Island. From the Turtle tees, the course measures 6,503 yards
and is rated 71.5/134.
It is a very scenic course that delivers some very interesting shot values. Like this fairway approach shot on the
par 5 2nd hole.
And this approach on the 364 yard par 4 6th hole.
While the front nine is very fun, the real interest starts on the back nine. These closing holes are highlighted by
the two par 3’s that play among the seaside dunes. I wish my camera hadn’t died on the back nine as those holes
are certainly worthy of a few pictures, as they are very beautiful and a lot of fun to play.
All in all, Turtle Point is a fun and very playable golf course with a lot of interesting shots.
