KIAWAH ISLAND RESORT KIAWAH ISLAND RESORT If you crave the beach life to go along with your luxury golf trip, Kiawah is the ideal destination. It features five-star accommo-dations, world-class amenities, award-win-ning recreational activities and some of the most respected golf courses in the country. It all comes in a tranquil setting. There are five golf courses available: the iconic Ocean Course designed by Pete Dye , Tom Fazio’s Osprey Point, Clyde Johnston’s Oak Point, Jack Nicklaus’ Turtle Point and Gary Player’s Cougar Point. The Ocean Course has the most seaside holes in the Northern hemisphere, with 10 hugging the Atlantic Ocean and the other eight running parallel to those. It hosted the PGA Championship in 2012 and 2021, as well as the historic 1991 Ryder Cup. It will host the 2031 PGA Championship. The Ocean Course is one of those unforgettable golf destinations on everyone’s bucket list. The resort has added a collection of new resort buildings and improvements that enhance the already exceptional offer-ings. It includes a fully reimagined classic clubhouse at the Cougar Point Clubhouse — where Gary Player completed a course redesign in 2017 — and the Roy Barth Tennis Center, which added 10 new Har-Tru courts and resurfaced 12 existing courts as part of an expansion. ■ KiawahResort.com MCLEMORE RESORT Cloudland guests have two world-class golf courses designed by architects Bill Bergin and Rees Jones available for their enjoyment.
