Sanctuary Golf Club

The views alone make a trip to Sanctuary Golf Club at Cat Island worthwhile. There is plenty to like about this traditional George Cobb design, located on a 400+ acre barrier island in Beaufort, about 45 minutes from Hilton Head Island. The layout takes full advantage of its sea island setting, nestled among centuries-old oak trees and brimming with wildlife. The course is extremely playable with few forced carries and large, gently rolling greens. Four holes overlook the Beaufort River—including back-to-back Par-3s on the outward half—and the water that comes into play on 13 holes may be less of a hazard than the alligators that call Cat Island home. Indeed, the Sanctuary is true to its name; a few hours spent here is like a peaceful stroll through the heart of the Lowcountry.
