Let's ferry off to Daufuskie Island and see what sets Haig Point apart from the rest of its competitors.

Golfing by the Sea

Each hole at Haig Point highlights a different selling point from a scenery perspective. Some courses will let you experience the beauty of the salt marshes and the towering oak trees and highlight the pristine coastline that allows you to be mesmerized by the beauty of the sea. Regardless, this diverse terrain will surely keep you engaged in the competitive spirit of the game, forcing you to think strategically with every move.

Starting with the Signature Course, a 72-par course designed by "The Open Doctor," Rees Jones combines Calibogue and Haig Courses. The Signature is an 18-hole course with an additional two extra greens that take the difficulty of this course up a notch. This course's rigorousness is an experience you must try, as it has been nominated for America's 100 Greatest Courses and Best in State category by Golf Digest.

The next course is suitable for practicing beginners, introducing the Osprey 9-hole course, known for its natural beauty and spectacular views that will surely make your golf escapade as aesthetic as possible.

Rich Environment, Rich History

Haig Point thrives in its natural beauty, stunning moss-draped live oaks, tranquil beaches, lush salt marshes, and abundant wildlife that highlights the island's ecosystem. To promote and conserve these resources, the Daufuskie Island Conservancy was formed in 2005 to encourage stewardship and conservation that lives by the slogan "Love it, Save it, Share it." With these initiatives, you can guarantee that the island is a haven of a thriving ecosystem that is well cared for.

Other than its rich ecosystem, Haig Point does not fall short in delivering the pieces of the past for its visitors to enjoy. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Daufuskie Island, under the ownership of the Mongin Family, became a plantation for farming, making it one of the world's finest at that time, and remnants of that area are still present in the property today. One of its most notable historical infrastructures is the Lighthouse, built in 1873 to guide sailors and has become a historical landmark that offers a glimpse into the island's past.

A Unique Merge of Golfing, Sea-Side Scenery, and History

By the time you finish exploring Haig Point, you'll feel like you've played more than just an enjoyable game of golf—you'll feel connected to the history and the heart of the island itself, and this is what sets Haig Point apart from all of the other golf courses in the world.
