Is a caddie necessary at Kiawah? I know it sounds like I'm being cheap, but I just prefer to not have one.

 

I make the trip down and play the ocean course twice a year. 1 round I usually take a caddie, 1 round I don't. They really aren't necessary. The walk is pretty easy, and I think the course plays pretty straight forward. Greens aren't overly crazy. If you can read putts, physically able to carry then you'll be fine. Buy a yardage book.

It is not required. I carried and it is a pretty easy walk. I even saw a few people with push carts when I went Mid Jan. If you are staying on a tighter budget, make sure to stop and get essentials at a grocery store before you get to the island. The food at the resort is okay, but expensive. Places I would highly recommend checking out....

 

1. Low Tide Brewing Company

2. Swing and Swine (BBQ place)

3. Links course at Wild Dunes if you can get a good rate (don't play the Harbor Course)

4. Early Bird Diner if you like Diners

Drive into Charleston, checkout Hank's Seafood / Revelry or Cooper City Brewing and be careful driving back to Kiawah at night down Bohicket Road with the oak trees right next to the road.

Just a heads up - I spoke with the resort yesterday and the deal is going to be announced early next week, for anyone wondering.

 

This will be my 4th year going and the first time I play a course other than The Ocean Course. Going to do 2 rounds there and 1 round on another course. My hope is I can get on to Cassique but if not is Osprey the best choice?

$350 gets you 1 night at villa and 2 rounds on any course. Best value is obviously playing the ocean course twice.

I go Thanksgiving week. I've gone Christmas. I've always had really good weather, but I think I was lucky in December. The average high for late November is high 60s. I'd assume November is your best bet. The deal usually starts the 2nd week of November

It use to be 300 for the villa and 400 for the hotel...can you confirm the price increase?

You may be right. Honestly can't remember what I pay. I looked at last years email and it said staring at $200 so idk.

Yup, I do it every year. It has become a Thanksgiving tradition. Usually go for 2 rounds on the Ocean Course, but adding a 3rd to check out Osprey this year and to have a "warm-up" round.

You will enjoy Osprey. We played it last year on a very windy day and it was a great break in between two rounds at the ocean. We also did two at cougar as well which we enjoyed.

It appears they actually **lowered** the price from years past too! When I went a few years ago it was $300/nt in the Villas. I may have to find a way to convince my wife this is a good idea.
