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.
