SIMPSONVILLE — More than 290 acres of mature woodlands and rolling pastures will soon become an expansive golf course designed by a highly sought-after architect.
Andrew Green, who recently completed a full renovation of East Lake Golf Club, has been tapped to design Kawonu Golf Club — a private golf-only club to be built on the corner of Highway 418 and Fork Shoals Road.
On a recent breezy afternoon in September, Green shared his excitement about the course with a group of reporters. Standing in the midst of an overgrown field, Green said he plans to use the natural topography of the land — with its steep slopes and hidden lakes — to create a golf course that is “supremely unique.”
