Client Course Description
If there is anywhere on the Point where pictures are worth 1,000 words it is our Rees Jones masterpiece. The design and physical beauty are breathtaking, and both contribute to an incomparable experience. Even in a region recognized for landmark golf courses, Haig Point consistently draws accolades and hosts noteworthy tournaments. First designed in 1986, the initial routing included 20 holes, including the two extra greens. Jones’ returned to Daufuskie Island in 2007 to restore the greens and sharpen the course’s legacy as one of the best in the nation. Yardage increased from 7,150 to 7,380 and improved our USGA rating.
Designer Notes
The ferry ride across the Calibogue Sound sets the tone for golf on this small island off Hilton Head. It’s one of the most beautiful settings for a golf course in the game. On hole 17 you play across the saltwater marsh to a sandy peninsula green.
With 29 holes comprising the Calibouge and Haig courses and designed by Rees Jones, the Haig Point Club is an exclusive, private club located in Daufuskie Island, across the Calibogue Sound from Hilton Head Island. “I had never seen a property quite like Haig Point … with such a pristine setting and all the elements to create a great golf course,” Jones has said of Haig Point. “It has the ocean, the sound, the marshes, fantastic vegetation … I knew when I first saw it we could build a world-class golf course.” The course is one that maximizes its location. Many of the holes feature coastline and forced carries. Lush island forests will be a part of your day at this club, which is only accessible via ferry. “The Haig Point Club is just a great mixture of spectacular views and golf,” said a TravelGolf.com writer.
