ABOUT KAWONU

Crafted by Nature

Guided by Vision


Kawonu Golf Club is a private, golf-only club in Upstate South Carolina, masterfully designed by renowned architect Andrew Green.


Set across rolling terrain with breathtaking vistas, Kawonu offers an exclusive retreat for those who value championship-level golf and refined hospitality.

OUR STORY


Long before fairways and flags, this land was home to the Cherokee people. Listening to the rhythms of the waterfowl that still grace the ponds and streams, they gave the name Kawonu to the ducks—a word that honors the harmony between land, water, and wildlife.


Today, Kawonu Golf Club carries that name forward with reverence. Every step on this ground is part of a continuum—where history echoes in the hills and a new chapter is being written by those who share a passion for the game of golf.

OUR VISION


A passion for golf and the camaraderie it forms is the foundation of Kawonu. An environment where members and guests can bond and share memorable experiences—on the golf course, in the clubhouse, and in our cottages. Whether it’s simply an afternoon round or an extended stay on-site, you will leave Kawonu with an eager anticipation for your next visit.


Our vision is clear: to create a club that honors the past, elevates the present, and inspires what’s next—for the game, for the members, and for the spirit of connection that brings us all together.

THE Best of the Upstate

Just Outside Greenville, sc And Entirely Worth the Trip


Kawonu Golf Club will be located 25 minutes from the wonderful city of Greenville, South Carolina. This town is showing up on everyone’s list of the “best”, and after a visit here, you'll easily understand why. Kawonu’s concierge will be available to assist out-of-town members and guests with reservations to restaurants, tickets to shows and sporting events, and hotel reservations should they choose to enjoy and stay in Greenville's charming downtown.
