The Carolinas are full of places for a long-weekend golf trip: Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Pinehurst. But if you're looking to get away to a place where it's just you and your game, try the golf courses on Kiawah Island.

About a half-hour drive from beautiful Charleston, S.C., Kiawah Island is one of the least commercial high-end golf destinations in the country. With little else to do, it's easy to lose yourself on great tracks like the Ocean Course, scheduled host of the 2012 PGA Championship.

The Perfect Three-day Kiawah Island Golf Weekend

Friday
The place to stay is the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, which offers a range of lodging options, starting with The Sanctuary, a AAA Five Diamond hotel.

With its impressive building and wide-planked oak floors, The Sanctuary hearkens back "to a simpler time when they took time with their architecture," Tim McDonald observed in a feature story for TravelGolf.com Luxury Golfer.

If you're looking for something more private, the resort rents villas and luxury homes, ranging from about $1,000 to $13,000 a week, depending on the season.

Settled in? Good. Now head to the Ocean Course to start this trip off right.

This Pete Dye design is Kiawah Island golf's crown jewel. Measuring 7,296 yards with a 152 slope rating, the Ocean Course was named one of the country's top 10 public courses - and America's toughest resort track - by Golf Digest.

When you come off the course, dine at The Sanctuary's seafood-centric Ocean Room, a restaurant recently rated "Restaurant of the Year" by Charleston's The Post and Courier
