Kiawah Island is… Ten miles of wide, immaculate, ocean beach on which one - or two - might walk or cycle for hours and hours without interruption. Soothing by day, utterly romantic by night, the beach is complemented by the island’s river, meandering lagoons, and pristine marshlands, and closes each sun washed day safe beneath its own star studded southern sky. The Travel + Leisure Golf magazine's reader's poll for 2006 asked its readers to rate hundreds of resort golf properties throughout the world. The readers ranked Kiawah Island Golf Resort as the "Top Golf Resort in the USA" out-polling such notables as Pebble Beach, Pinehurst, Brandon Dunes and Sea Island. And the distinctions and awards don't stop there. Readers of Golf Digest Magazine also bestowed high ratings upon Kiawah Island Golf Resort and its five golf courses with its Ocean Course maintaining it 5-Star Status of which there is only 17 public access golf courses in the America, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean to earn that ultimated distinction. The other Kiawah Island Golf Resort courses also maintained near-perfect 41/2 Star Status. The entire Kiawah Island Golf Resort was noted for its high level of service, while every course on the resort was noted for excellent pace of play. Both Osprey Point Golf Course and Oak Point Golf Course were noted as best values in the state of South Carolina. The Ocean Course, site of the 1991 Ryder Cup Matches, the 2007 Senior PGA Championship and 2012 PGA Championship, moved up to number three in GOLF Magazine's 2006 list of the "Top 100 You Can Play." The prestigious compilation of the finest public-access courses in the U.S is published every two years. Kiawah's renowned links-style course moved up from the eighth position in 2004 and is now behind only Pacific Dunes and Pebble Beach. The next-highest ranking course in South Carolina is Harbour Town (No. 15) at The Sea Pines Resort. It is more than just golf that is turning heads at Kiawah Island Golf Resort. Tennis magazine has named it the No. 1 tennis resort in the U.S. while the top tennis vacation web site, www.tennisresortsonline.com, has named it the No. 1 tennis resort in the world. Additionally, the Charleston Post & Courier newspaper has named The Sanctuary's Ocean Room restaurant as Charleston's "Restaurant of the Year," an impressive accolade considering the quality of dining in one of the South's top culinary centers.
