Kiawah Island Golf Resort

Kiawah Island Golf Resort is a multi-course destination in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. It is best from spring through fall.

Access runs through the resort — book the stay and the course comes with it. Green fees run $450+ (Ocean Course). The property offers on-site lodging, which shapes how we build the days around it.

Kiawah earns No. 16 by doing something few resorts manage: an Ocean Course reputation serious enough for a bucket list, wrapped in a resort built for a group that isn't all golfers. Spring through fall is peak season, and on-site lodging means everyone stays together.

It's one of our most-requested destinations for client trips — the golf impresses, and the resort side handles everyone else in the group without a second location to manage.
