Kiawah Island Golf Resort

About Kiawah Island Golf Resort

You're looking at one of South Carolina's premier oceanfront golf destinations, where the Atlantic coastline creates both stunning scenery and serious challenge. The resort sits on a barrier island that's been shaped by centuries of wind and weather, and those natural elements become major factors in your round, especially the prevailing ocean breezes that can turn a comfortable approach shot into a white-knuckle recovery. The layout takes full advantage of its coastal setting, with several holes playing directly along the shoreline where the sound of crashing waves mingles with the whistle of wind through the sea oats. What sets this place apart is the authentic Lowcountry atmosphere that permeates the entire experience. The course winds through maritime forests of live oaks draped in Spanish moss, then emerges onto open links-style terrain where the golf becomes more strategic and wind-dependent. Walking is not only allowed but recommended. It's the best way to appreciate how the routing flows with the island's natural contours and to read the subtle breaks in the greens that can be masked when riding. At 4.5 stars from nearly a thousand reviews, it's clearly delivering memorable rounds, and the combination of challenging golf and resort amenities makes it worth the premium you'll pay for this slice of coastal Carolina paradise.
