Kiawah Island Golf Resort

Kiawah Island Golf Resort is the premier golf and beach resort destination in the American Southeast, a private barrier island property whose Ocean Course has hosted the Ryder Cup and PGA Championship and is consistently ranked among the finest and most challenging links-style courses in the world, combined with five additional championship courses, 10 miles of beach, and a full luxury resort infrastructure that makes it one of the most complete golf resort destinations available anywhere in the country. The Ocean Course's wind-swept links setting above the Atlantic and its legacy of hosting golf's most prestigious international team competition give it a golf cachet that only a handful of American resorts can claim, and the island's pristine natural environment, loggerhead turtle nesting beaches, and Lowcountry landscape give non-golfers in the group a natural beauty and programming context that is equal in quality to the golf experience. For planners booking programs where world-class golf on a course with genuine major championship history, a pristine Atlantic beachfront, and a self-contained island resort experience are the core brief, Kiawah Island Golf Resort is the most complete and prestigious single answer in the Southeast. Similar properties worth benchmarking include The Cloister at Sea Island and the Sanctuary Hotel at Kiawah Island.
