Cassique

The savannas and creeks of the Kiawah River have for centuries captivated those along its quiet shores. Now this land has begun a new chapter as a private community, inspired by both grand homes in the Cotswolds and those along coastal rivers here that have served generations of Lowcountry families.

The splendor of Cassique is in the details, from delicate rose gardens to rolling fairways, from brownstone walks to herb gardens tended for a superb Club restaurant. Homeowners here approach the Cassique clubhouse along a curving, mile-long allee of several hundred native cedars leading to a garden entry court. Roses, camellias, and tea olive provide a visual feast while adding their own perfume to the sea air. The clubhouse continues the mood, clad in authentic stucco with deep, rich accent colors and stone-surrounded windows, copper guttering, and charcoal grey slate roofing intended to age as gracefully as Charles Voysey’s famous country home in England, Stow-on-the-Wold. Interiors are refined and comfortable with staff always at your service.

Homes here embrace spectacular golf and marsh views from large, well-planned sites. Architecture takes its inspiration from Charles F.A. Voysey, one of the most renowned British architects of the early 20th century.

The links at Cassique, Tom’s Watson’s first solo golf course design in the US, weave through maritime forests once owned by the Lords Proprietors, friends of King Charles II. Centuries later, the British Isles are still influencing styles in the Lowcountry. As a genuine and distinctive link-style golf course, it draws upon styling from Ireland and Scotland’s most renowned golfing venues.
