Frequently Asked Questions
How do you even get to Haig Point on Daufuskie Island? Is it a hassle?
Getting to Haig Point is part of the adventure, not a hassle at all. You'll take a private ferry from Hilton Head, which is a lovely, scenic ride across the water. Once on Daufuskie, golf carts are your primary mode of transport, immediately setting a relaxed, car-free tone for your entire visit.
Can I play Haig Point if I'm not a member? What's the best way to experience the course?
Absolutely, and we highly recommend it. The most common way for non-members to play is through a stay-and-play package at their charming accommodations, or by booking a real estate discovery tour. It's a fantastic way to get the full, exclusive island experience and truly appreciate the course.
What makes the golf experience at Haig Point truly different from other Lowcountry courses?
Haig Point stands out with its unique 20-hole layout - yes, 20 holes - including two bonus holes you can play after the 18th. The course winds through ancient maritime forests and offers stunning ocean views, especially on the iconic holes near the historic lighthouse, creating an unhurried, natural round you won't find elsewhere.
When is the ideal time of year to plan a golf trip to Haig Point?
We find the sweet spot for Haig Point is typically spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). The weather is glorious then - warm but not oppressively hot or humid - perfect for enjoying the course and the island's outdoor activities without the summer crowds.
Beyond the golf, what's the overall vibe and experience like at Haig Point? Is it worth the premium?
The vibe at Haig Point is pure, unadulterated Lowcountry charm and tranquility. It's a place where you genuinely disconnect, enjoy exceptional service, and feel like a cherished guest on a private island retreat. For a truly unique, relaxed, and high-quality golf escape, it's absolutely worth the investment.
