The New Ocean Course Clubhouse

The Ocean Course Clubhouse was designed by noted architecture firm Robert A.M. Stern Architects, which is also responsible for the shingle-style look of the island's private Beach Club, located near The Ocean Course's 14th.

With wood shingles and brick as the primary building materials, the clubhouse's weathered exterior will make it appear as though the seaside structure has coexisted with the dunes for a century. Low-profile rooflines and wraparound porches will frame the picture of a sturdy coastal cottage, as welcoming as a coastal breeze on a warm summer day.

The Atlantic Room in the Ocean Course Clubhouse

With the new Ocean Course Clubhouse, The Atlantic Room has taken its place on Kiawah's fine dining stage. The scenery is certainly fantastic, with spectacular views of the ocean and The Ocean Course's 18th green, site of the dramatic U.S. team victory in the 1991 Ryder Cup matches. In the starring role, Executive Chef Randy MacDonald's interpretation of fine clubhouse dining features hand-cut steaks, chops and coastal specialties complemented by an extensive wine list.

"The Atlantic Room recalls an era of fine clubhouse dining, with innovative preparations of steakhouse classics, seafood plates and decadent desserts." said Chef MacDonald.

In addition to fine dining, The Atlantic Room offers a lavish breakfast buffet and an extensive lunch menu featuring house made soups, crisp salads, an array of hearty sandwiches and entrees, and tempting desserts.

The Atlantic Room also provides an intimate private dining room adjacent to the main dining room. A spacious veranda with two fireplaces is just steps from the ocean, provides the perfect setting for post-round celebrations.

Guests who have been coming to Kiawah for many years may recall a previous Atlantic Room, which was located in the former Kiawah Island Inn. The new Atlantic Room promises to create fresh culinary memories in a truly magnificent oceanside setting rich in golf history.
