  • Is There a Better Mens Locker Room Than Kiawah Island Club? | Sick Golf Trips Ep. 8
    Jun 16 2026

    In Episode 8, we welcome Ryan Berger to talk about his annual college crew golf trip. In 2024, they went to Kiawah Island in South Carolina. This group of guys met in their freshman year of college in 1998 and their 2024 trip to Kiawah was one for the books.

    Ryan breaks down how an unofficial "golf trip committee" plans everything from courses to Airbnbs, why they timed it around NFL Draft weekend, and the unforgettable experience of having dinner inside a private country club's men's locker room (yes, really). They played Cougar Point and two private courses at Kiawah Island Country Club, had a private chef cook at their rental house, and split into "fat guys vs skinny guys" for a hilarious team competition.

    We also dig into the caddy experience at Kiawah, the travel logistics of flying into Charlotte and driving down, crew dynamics across married/single/divorced guys, and Ryan's incredible hole-in-one witness story from Monarch Beach.
