Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort

About Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort

Nestled on a private barrier island about 20 minutes south of Beaufort, this resort course delivers one of the Lowcountry's most secluded golf experiences. The layout winds through maritime forests of live oaks draped in Spanish moss, with several holes offering glimpses of salt marshes and tidal creeks that define the island's wild beauty. What sets it apart is the genuine feeling of remoteness. You're truly playing golf on an island where nature still calls the shots, and the only sounds are your footsteps and the occasional call of a great blue heron. The course conditions typically run solid for a resort track, and the 4.6 Google rating from 263 reviews suggests most players leave satisfied. Walking is permitted, which adds to the peaceful, unhurried atmosphere that makes this place feel more like a hidden gem than a typical resort amenity. The value proposition works especially well if you're staying on the island, as you can easily squeeze in a quick nine before or after beach time without fighting mainland traffic.
