At Kiawah Island Golf Resort, love of the game draws golfers to five of the nation’s top championship courses, including The Ocean Course. But another journey unfolds between the greens. Just as every round tells a different story, so does every clubhouse, with menus as thoughtfully crafted as the fairways themselves. From fresh-caught seafood and Southern staples to signature cocktails framed by sweeping Lowcountry views, each offers its own distinct taste of the island. At Kiawah Island, the next great stop isn’t just the next tee—it’s the next table.

The Players’ Pub at Cougar Point Clubhouse

Comfort food seekers—pull up a chair inside or on the patio for savory selections like the beer-battered fried grouper sandwich and NY Strip with charred broccolini at The Players’ Pub. A contemporary, warm wood interior and flavorful fare set the stage for toasting a game well-played, casual lunches with friends, and family dinners featuring kid-friendly favorites. Taking in views of Gary Player’s famous layout is equally satisfying.

Tomasso at Turtle Point Clubhouse

Amid the emerald fairways of Jack Nicklaus’ legendary course, Tomasso celebrates Old World Italian cuisine, locally sourced ingredients, and an expansive wine list. Savor a bounty of homemade, hand rolled pastas and culinary standouts like Heirloom Margherita Pizza, Crab Cakes Romesco, and Roasted Mushroom Risotto. End on a sweet note with a decadent dessert, like Tiramisu, and glass of Limoncello.

The Atlantic Room and Ryder Cup Bar
at The Ocean Course Clubhouse

At the clubhouse of Pete and Alice Dye’s masterpiece overlooking the ocean, seasonally inspired dining experiences pair beautifully with dramatic views of Kiawah’s crown jewel. Relish expertly prepared, regional catches pulled from nearby waters at The Atlantic Room, the resort’s signature seafood restaurant. Gather indoors or on the veranda at The Ryder Cup Bar for elevated pub classics and a front row seat to one of the area’s most iconic landscapes. Refreshing breezes, salt air, and mesmerizing sunsets add a memorable coastal tone to every meal.

Cherrywood BBQ & Ale House at Osprey Point Clubhouse

Prime cuts cooked low and slow over hardwoods in the Southern tradition with tangy seasonings and handcrafted sauces are the stars of the show at Cherrywood BBQ & Ale House. They’re complemented by more than 60 South Carolina-brewed, imported, draft and craft beers along with an assortment of hearty sides. All enjoyed while peering out at the lagoons, lush marshland, and towering live oaks across Tom Fazio’s famed course.
