The children’s pool features two flume slide, and a giant dumping bucket along with a toddler interactive play area, complete with alligator slide and baby bouncers. The Junior Olympic–sized family pool is ideal for early morning lap swimming while the surrounding sundeck provides the perfect spot for relaxation.

Kiawah Island Golf Resort has been the site of some of the most memorable tournaments in professional golf history. Our résumé includes the dramatic 1991 Ryder Cup, the 1997 and 2003 World Cups, the 2005 PGA Professional National Championship, the 2007 Senior PGA Championship and the prestigious 2012 PGA Championship. The Ocean Course has once again been named the site of the 2021 PGA Championship. The second Major Championship in golf’s annual rotation, the PGA Championship perennially features the strongest field of players based on the Official World Golf Rankings. We offer five world-class golf courses designed by Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Gary Player and Clyde Johnston. Using the Island’s unspoiled setting of rolling sand dunes, expansive saltwater marshes and tranquil maritime forests, each architect has created a unique expression of golf’s varied challenges and rewards. Kiawah Island Golf Resort is proud to offer the services of walking caddies and forecaddies at The Ocean Course. The caddie program, established in 2000, has quickly developed into a hallmark of The Ocean Course experience. When combined with the natural seaside setting and the award-winning Pete Dye design, walking The Ocean Course with a caddie by your side ensures an unforgettable round. Located on the exposed far eastern end of the Island, The Ocean Course is buffeted by unpredictable ocean winds. The knowledge and guidance of a caddie are tremendously helpful for any player navigating the seaside links of The Ocean Course and its unique challenges. Our professional caddies impart their extensive knowledge of every aspect of the course. They assist in reading greens, providing accurate yardages and offering invaluable strategic insight for playing each hole. Caddies also act as on-course concierges, as they can provide information about the history of the Island as well as the Resort’s other exceptional golf courses and amenities. The Ocean Course is walking all day (carts are permitted only for tee times after 10 am June through August). Caddies are not mandatory for golfers walking the course, but are highly recommended. During the summer months, carts are restricted to the paths and a forecaddie is required for anyone utilizing a golf cart. There is no fee for caddie services, but gratuities are graciously accepted. Recommended gratuities are $100 per player for walking caddies and $50 per player for a forecaddie, commensurate with services rendered. Caddie services may be reserved in advance at other Kiawah Island Golf Resort courses, with availability based on staffing levels. 7

Tennis Upon our grand opening in 1976, then tennis director Roy Barth made it his mission to establish Kiawah Island Golf Resort as one of the premier tennis resorts in the nation. Now under the day-to-day direction of his son, Jonathan Barth (and with Roy serving as director of tennis emeritus), Kiawah Island Golf Resort continues to fulfill that mission. A member of Tennis Magazine’s prestigious “50 Best U.S. Tennis Resorts” for over 30 consecutive years and routinely rated No. 1 in the world by tennisresortsonline.com, the Resort delivers a wide range of tennis experiences, professional instruction and thrilling tournaments.

About our Directors Roy Barth, the founder of Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s top-ranked tennis program, has retired after serving as Director of Tennis for 41 years.

Providing continuity, Roy’s son, Jonathan Barth, has assumed the reigns as Director of Tennis. Having grown up in the program and served as head tennis professional at the Resort’s West Beach Tennis Club for 19 years, Jonathan’s assumption of the day-to-day management of tennis operations provides a seamless transition.
