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.

The accommodations were decent for our group, though not luxurious. We encountered some service hiccups during meals, particularly at lunch spots, but overall, the dining experiences were great, especially at the Jasmine Porch.

My recent stay at Kiawah Island Golf Resort was a mixed bag. While the staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience, my accommodations left quite a bit to be desired in terms of cleanliness. The golfing was exceptional, especially on the Ocean Course, but I found the dining options to be lacking in quality for the price. Overall, there's great potential for a fantastic stay, but housekeeping definitely needs improvement.
