Most every avid golfer remembers the 1991 Ryder Cup Matches, since called the "War by the Shore." The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Resort will forever be famous for that battle, which went
down to the last putt on the last hole of the last match on the last day. When Bernhard Langer's six-footer for par slid just by the right lip, the most gut-wrenching Ryder Cup in history came to a dramatic and emotional end with the United States posting a one-point victory.
The Ocean Course has since hosted multiple World Cup and Warburg Cup events. It is, quite simply, 
one of the golf courses you must play. The 7,296 yard, par 71 Ocean Course stretches nearly three miles along the Atlantic Ocean at the extreme eastern end of Kiawah Island. On a layout that is reminiscent of the great seaside links of England and Scotland, yardage can vary as much as the wind that constantly sweeps across the links. But don't forget, there are four other great courses at the resort.
The fame of the Ocean Course could give the impression that golf is all Kiawah has to offer. Conde Nast Traveler readers have voted this South Carolina resort among the "Top 20" Islands in The World for resort activities. In fact, even with the fantastic golf, it's the children that may have the most fun on a "golf vacation" to Kiawah.
There’s Kamp Kiawah – a supervised, fun-filled activity program for ages 3 to 11. Established two decades ago, Kamp Kiawah keeps children enthralled with its Pirate Escapades, Nature Adventure Days, Tye Dye Days, Sand Sculpting, Hula Contests and Relay Races and more. It also allows parents some time to participate in island adventures of their own.
Kiawah Island Golf Resort has created a Teen Program specifically for the most discriminating of youths. On the list of seasonal activities are Teen Survivor, Late Night Movies, Photo Scavenger Hunts, Basketball and Volleyball Tournaments, Dance Contests and more. 
Swimming, canoeing, kayaking, bicycling, cookouts, oyster roasts, sing-a-longs, and nature walks are just a few of the other extraordinary activities that are afforded to guests of Kiawah Island Golf Resort.
A fantastic spa and AAA Five-Diamond hotel top-off the resort's unbeatable offerings. The memories of family vacation to Kiawah Island Resort will be treasured by every member of the family.
