⛳️ A Behind-the-Scenes Tour of Kiawah Island Golf Resort – The Ocean Course & More! 🌊
Yesterday (11/14/24), I had the incredible opportunity to explore one more of the most iconic golf destinations in the world: Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Just over St. Johns Island lies the stunning The Ocean Course, a course that has hosted the Ryder Cup (1991), World Cup (1997, 2003), and the PGA Championship (2012, 2021). 🌟
Walking through the immaculate grounds of this prestigious resort, I was struck by the attention to detail and the sheer beauty of this place. From the lush greens to the meticulously manicured fairways, every inch of The Ocean Course is designed to challenge the world's top golfers—and make you feel like a pro just by stepping foot on it. 🏌️♂️
A Destination Like No Other
Beyond the course itself, the resort is a luxury destination in every sense. On our visit, we enjoyed the warmth of double wood fires burning in both the Ryder Cup Bar and the beautiful Ocean Course Clubhouse. The amenities are equally impressive, featuring a variety of shops, coffee spots, pastry cafés, heated pools, and an on-site Real Estate office.
For those seeking a more exclusive, private experience, Kiawah Island Real Estate offers some of the finest properties, including homes tucked along the course itself or tucked away on this idyllic island. I had the chance to see firsthand the premium services offered to potential buyers—whether they’re looking for a golf course estate or a private island retreat. 🏡
Speaking of real estate, I’m thrilled to be a part of the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury network, offering access to exclusive listings and off-market dream homes through my professional connections worldwide. As a Global Luxury REALTOR®, I can guide you in finding your perfect property, whether it's here on Kiawah Island or anywhere else in the world.

The Wind Factor: Nature’s Challenge at The Ocean Course 🌬️
One of the things that truly sets The Ocean Course apart is the wind. You can’t help but notice the change in wind flow as it comes directly off the Atlantic Ocean—and it’s something every golfer must learn to navigate. From the tee box to the green, the wind can shift in unpredictable directions and speeds, making it one of the most challenging courses in the world. It’s not just about your swing; it’s about understanding how the elements play into your game. 🌪️

But that’s not all! A 6th course is currently under construction on Johns Island, adjacent to Kiawah, designed by Beau Welling (nominated for Golf Course Designer of the Year in the 2022 World Golf Awards). This exciting new course promises to be another beautiful addition to this golf haven, claiming nearly 300 acres of pristine landscape. 🌿⛳
