THE KIAWAH ISLAND CLUB
🇺🇸 Kiawah Island, SC, USA
Designed by Tom Watson
Cassique, a course sculpted into the lowcountry of Kiawah Island, feels as if it has always been here, a natural extension of the maritime forest and windswept dunes. It is a links-inspired design that embraces the raw spirit of the game. The course favors players who can shape shots in the ever-present coastal breezes; its strategic bunkers and subtle elevation changes rewarding thoughtful play over brute force.
Designed by Tom Watson, Cassique reflects a modern interpretation of classic links architecture. The open fairways encourage the ground game, while the undulating greens demand a deft touch with the putter. While not a championship venue, it is a true test of skill and strategic thinking that leaves you pondering your next round.
The Kiawah Island Club and its members relish the quieter side of the game. There are no tee times to contend with, allowing a flexible play with friends and family alike. The club also boasts a hearty, traditional Lowcountry boil enjoyed al fresco after a satisfying round – a fitting tribute to the bounty of the South Carolina coast.
Reviews
Best every day course at Kiawah. Logo is too good for how small the pro shop is
Great track, definitely felt like we were overseas. Just not a course you’re used to playing in Charleston. Loved the holes that flipped each day. You play a hole to the left or right depending on the day. Then the next hole you go atop ‘Mount Watson’ (second highest point in Charleston County) and hit down to the green you did not play on the previous hole. This was a special course.
