About The Golf Club at Briar's Creek
The Golf Club at Briar's Creek is a private club set on nearly 900 acres on Johns Island, South Carolina. The course opened in 2001 and was designed by Rees Jones.
The layout follows the natural Lowcountry terrain along the Kiawah River, with the surrounding woodlands, marsh and local wildlife forming much of the setting. The club is run as a quiet golf retreat rather than a high-volume facility.
