Join other hickory golfers, including the Society of Hickory Golfers, and play golf on the infamous Ocean Course twice. Learn about the old game and even explore the period clothing and equipment. Golfers who are new to hickory golf and would like to experience this unique game are welcome. Kiawah will have hickory-shafted clubs available for use but the clothing, dress shirts, knickers and ties are strongly encouraged.  For more details, go to http://www.kiawahresort.com/special-events/hickory-golf.php.
