“This Rees Jones layout provides a unique golfing experience on Daufuskie Island across the Calibogue Sound from Hilton Head Island. The course is heavily tree lined and plays over wetlands and marsh areas. The course is relatively flat with several subtle dog legs that put importance on drive location. Most holes provide numerous shot options to attack the pin. Several holes provide excellent views of the Calibogue Sound. The greens are relatively flat with subtle undulations. The par 3s are a highlight of the course and provide beautiful background views of the water. Two of the par 3s provide two options. The first option offers a par 3 without a forced carry while the second option offers a forced carry over marshland, each option has a separate green. The Haig Point experience will require a ferry ride from Hilton Head to Daufuskie Island and then a shuttle to the golf course. The idyllic surrounds enhance an enjoyable golfing experience."

“Great experience and day, including the ferry ride and golf. Fairly unique to the world of golf and well worth the extra effort if you get the opportunity. The Calibogue/Haig set up is fairly unique too, but works pretty well to allow increased flexibility of set-up."

“Rees Jones design out on Daufuskie Island that requires a ferry ride just to play the course. Very strong set of par 3's with marsh forces carries and/or views."

“Private course on Dufuskie Island across from Harbour Town. Accessible only by boat. A real golfing experience. Course has 20 greens. 2 par 3's play from same tees but 2 greens on each hole. One tough carry over marshland and one shorter over grass. Great design! Never very busy so if you can get invited worth the trip to go."

“The ferry ride is amusing. It isn't easy to visit the course so plan to make a day of it with the parking, ferry rides back and forth, etc. Everyone was extremely accommodating. Course was in generally good shape and fun to play."

“Haig Point is a very enjoyable day. The boat ride over, a golf-cart taxi to the clubhouse and since very few rounds are played, there's a tranquil feel to the experience. Like all of the Low Country courses, it's a tad flat to generate any real drama but I think Rees Jones did a very nice job considering the terrain. Nice set of par 3's too! Well worth the time to play."
