MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION 2026
Three Distinctive Memberships. One Common Goal.
Kiawah Island Club was created to bring Island residents of similar pursuits and passions together— introducing Members to Members, and launching generation-spanning friendships. To further curate individual tastes, we offer three levels of Club Membership, each tailored to foster camaraderie and communion across the very best amenities that Kiawah has to offer.
Kiawah Island Club offers three categories of Membership: Golf, Sports, and Social. New Memberships in any category are limited in number and available only when purchasing a previously unsold property from Kiawah Island Real Estate. Or, by purchasing a resale property from a current Club Member who is offering their Membership with the sale, you may obtain Membership in the resigning Member’s category. All Memberships are subject to application and approval.
LEVELS OF MEMBERSHIP THE FAMILY GOLF MEMBERSHIP entitles the Member and their immediate family* to use all facilities at River Course, Cassique, The Sports Pavilion, Sasanqua Spa, Marsh House, The Cape Club, and The Beach Club with no payment of greens or court fees. A cart/ caddie fee will be charged.
THE INDIVIDUAL GOLF MEMBERSHIP entitles only the designated Member to unlimited Golf Membership privileges. Immediate family* members may use all of the tennis, beach, fitness, swimming, dining, and social facilities at the Club as a Social Member, but without tennis court fees, and have some restrictions respecting golf in accordance with the Club’s Rules and Regulations.
