Arriving at work long before dawn, overseeing maintenance crews pushing to stay in front of the morning's first foursome and setting every pin in just the right place is all in a day's work for Kiawah's five golf course superintendents. However, the job is much more than that.
Kiawah is a coastal barrier island containing beautiful, diverse habitats encompassing dunes, tidal creeks and marshes, maritime forests, and freshwater ponds and lagoons that support a wide variety of plant and animal life.
From the very beginning of Kiawah's development as a golf resort and a residential community, nature received primary consideration. The resort's ability to preserve the island's natural beauty while providing world-class amenities is one reason why guests return year after year.
Each Kiawah golf course has an extensive, multi-point program in place to assure the minimal impact of maintenance practices on the natural environment. What's more, The Ocean Course is a member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP) for Golf.
A comprehensive environmental education and conservation program, ACSP for Golf promotes the enhancement and protection of wildlife habitats while minimizing the effects of water consumption and chemical use.
Kiawah is proud to be recognized by Audubon International for its successful integration of world-class golf into a unique and sensitive environmental setting. As golfers on Pete Dye's windswept masterpiece can attest, birds on the wing are far more numerous than birdies on the scorecard at The Ocean Course.
Kiawah offers fantastic golf packages featuring a wide array of accommodations. Choices range from comfortable villas and spacious private homes (perfect for golf groups making one of their regular golf trips) to The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island (the resort's new oceanfront hotel and spa, and an ideal destination for those with a penchant for luxury).
