Girl's Getaway to Kiawah Island

Spring has sprung in the south and 4 golfing girlfriends couldn't have had better weather for our getaway this weekend at the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island! We stayed in brand new over the top fabulous Maritime villas right across the street from the beautiful Sanctuary (appropriately named as we found "sanctuary" there on several days in the relaxing spa)!

We played the famed "Ocean Course" - home to the 2012 PGA Championship and I can't remember when I have enjoyed a round of golf as much as we did on Friday. Perfect weather conditions for an amateur player (that means very little wind, slower greens, and 72 degrees....) We actually played quite well - thanks to our wonderful caddies, Brendan & Tony! I may never want to play a round of golf again, without them! Walking this magnificent course reminds us of the way golf SHOULD be played and the fine tradition of fast paced play and strolls up a magnificent 18th with a view that rivals St. Andrews!

Cocktails on the Sunset Patio of the Ocean Course clubhouse finished our day "in style" and "thanks for the drinks" to those crazy fellows from Philadelphia! It is very unique to watch the sunset over the Atlantic coast (and this is one of the few spots on the Eastern seaboard that makes this possible) - just another reason to come to Kiawah!

We loved swimming in the warm water of the seaside pool at the Sanctuary and enjoying our massages at the end of another "rough day" on the links.

I would recommend this inviting resort to other girlfriends looking for a great getaway, a family wanting to spend some quality time together, guys looking to play some of the best golf of their life, and couples looking for a wedding spot or a honeymoon filled with romace and quiet spaces.....

Thank you, Kiawah for helping us usher in Spring in such a wonderful way!
