Construction on the exclusive, invite-only links site at 3801 Fork Shoals Road in
Simpsonville was showcased for the first time on Sept. 18, where nationally
recognized pro-golf course architect Andrew Green and Scott Ferrell, founding
partner of Kawonu Golf Club, toured the site and detailed the uniqueness within
Greenville's first private club in more than 30 years.
"We're starting to uncover the magic of Kawonu," said Green, who has transformed
various historic greens across the country since 2010.
"For me, it's important that we're leaning into and embracing the idea that the
topography and community here in Greenville is so unique. It's got a lot of interest, soul, and we want to make sure we embrace it and amplify it."
The highly anticipated course is slated to open sometime in 2027.
