Ever since the 1991 Ryder cup, infamously known as the War on the Shore, Kiawah Island, particularly the Ocean Course, has been a huge draw for golf trips planned by individuals from around the country and around the world. With five, world-class golf courses, including the famed and difficult Ocean Course designed by Pete Dye, Kiawah Island has golf for every level of player and enough varying terrain to keep the most discriminating golfer happy day after day. There are several hotels near Kiawah in the greater Charleston area.
