Kiawah Island Makes Exclusive ‘Top 10 Golf Resorts’ List
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.
