Cougar Point Golf Clubhouse

Kiawah Island, South Carolina

Cougar Point Golf Course, redesigned by Gary Player in 1996 and renovated in 2017, ranks as one of the top golf courses in South Carolina. Set on axis with the future West Beach Hotel, the picturesque Colonial Revival clubhouse accommodates a pro shop, a lounge, a dining room, and a bar overlooking the 18th green and fairway.

An entry courtyard greets visitors arriving from an adjacent parking lot nestled into the landscape. The picturesque massing of the clubhouse, with embracing wings and sprawling porches, provides an iconic backdrop for an outstanding golf experience. Broad pillars, large shuttered windows, and a proud cupola provide notes of formality, lightened by a whimsical dormer-clock that faces the course. The interior architecture continues the traditional aesthetic. Oversize windows in the lobby open to dramatic fairway views, and the warm and welcoming dining room features a fireplace, an oak-beamed ceiling with custom hoop brass light fixtures, and wainscot walls.
