The only feature preventing Kiawah Island from making the exclusive Top 10 Golf Resorts list in the past was that it didn’t have super-luxury accommodations – until The Sanctuary opened anyway.

In Coastal Livings newest rankings, Kiawah Island’s Golf Resort now has every reason to make the designers of it’s 5 championship golf courses happy: Jack Nicklaus, Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, and Gary Player, and we’re certainly proud of it here in Charleston too.

UPDATE: Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s Ocean Course makes #25 in 2009

Other South Carolina courses in the top 100:

• #73 – Long Cove Club on Hilton Head Island
• #75 – Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island
• #85 – Cassique – a private course of the Kiawah Island Club & 2009 U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship host
• #87 – Sage Valley in Graniteville, S.C.
