DISCOVER KAWONU

Where Land Meets Legacy

Kawonu Golf Club rests on 290 acres of storied land in Upstate South Carolina — land once walked by the Cherokee, where waterfowl still glide across quiet lakes.

Named for the Cherokee word for duck, Kawonu is steeped in natural harmony and heritage. Long before fairways were carved, these grounds carried meaning, and today, that spirit lives on.

Renowned architect Andrew Green, designed the course to move with the land — rolling, serene, and strategic. Every hole tells a story. Every round creates a memory. This is golf as it was meant to be —timeless, tranquil, and unforgettable.
