One of two 18-hole layouts to be found at the private Kiawah Island Club, the River course predates Tom Watson’s Cassique by some five years. It’s a Tom Fazio design that’s situated between Kiawah Island River and Bass Pond where six of the holes play along the water’s edge and the remaining fairways are routed around woodland, lakes and marshes.

Pick of the holes on the front nine is “Monocle,” the short par four 5th, where a pond lies to the left of the fairway and a couple of flashed bunkers front the green on either side.

The back nine ends with “Clock,” a 440-yard par four where the left side of the hole is separated from marshland on the left by a ribbon of waste bunker that runs all along the length of the fairway.
