My friends and I had a fantastic golf trip at Kiawah Island. The golf courses were truly exceptional, especially the Ocean Course. The dining experiences at Jasmine Porch were also memorable. However, our stay was slightly marred by some service inconsistencies, particularly during lunchtime, and the accommodations were a bit tight for our group. Overall, it was a solid experience worth considering for golf enthusiasts.

Overall, there's great potential for a fantastic stay, but housekeeping definitely needs improvement.
