Kiawah Island Golf Resort

Kiawah Island, South Carolina

May 1, 1976    Grand Opening of Kiawah Island Resort

Kiawah Island Resort opened on the weekend of May 1, 1976, and a professional tennis exhibition was a part of the activities. Roscoe Tanner, Kiawah’s touring professional and then-ranked in top 10 in the world, played Tom Gorman in a singles exhibition. Director of Tennis Roy Barth, and Local Pro Bob Joyner played in the doubles exhibition with Gorman and Tanner, whose career highlights included winning the Australian Open.. The West Beach Tennis Club opened with seven clay courts and two lit hard courts.

Nearly a quarter century after the first condominiums went up on Kiawah, the island’s glorious 10-mile-long beach remains a nesting ground for endangered loggerhead turtle and its protected wilderness still provides a home for deer, raccoons, and more than 200 species of birds. But make no mistake about it: civilization has arrived in a big way. Though planned to be unobtrusive, two resort villages, five golf courses, two racquet clubs, a new 255-room hotel, and more than 1,000 villas and some 1,300 private homes now trail through a landscape where once there was only woods and marsh.

The most recent changes date from 1993, when billionaire Bill Goodwin and a group of investors bought the Kiawah Island Inn and all of the recreational amenities and re-established a financial stability the property hadn’t enjoyed for years. One of the chief beneficiaries of his largesse has been the resort’s designer showcase of golf courses.

Tennis Facilities:

Kiawah has two tennis facilities, the Roy Barth Tennis Center in East Beach and the West Beach Racquet Club, which ensures that none of its hotel or villa guests will be very far from a court. Both are under the direction of former touring pro Roy Barth. West Beach lies half hidden by trees just across the road from the now closed Kiawah Island Inn. It has 14 Har-Tru courts, one of which can be used as a stadium, and 2 lighted hard courts. The Roy Barth Tennis Center, farther down the island, sits amid a halo of tennis villas four minutes on foot from the beachfront Sanctuary hotel. It has an even dozen courts altogether, 9 Har-Tru and 3 hard. It was here that the Fed Cup matches were played in the spring of 1998, as were the U.S. Clay Court Championships in 1990. It has the larger pro shop and is further distinguished by having one of its hard courts dedicated to a self-feeding ball machine capable of spewing balls at a rate of 1,200 per hour. At both clubs, however, the courts form a semicircle around the weathered wood pro shop, whose decks provide a comfortable place to watch the action. Winding paths through pine trees lead to courts variously bordered by palmettos, pampas grass, oleander and flowers. Each pair of courts has access to a awning-covered patio offering shade, benches, and an electric water fountain.

This South Carolina tennis resort has a wide range of instructional programs catering to every level of skill, and to every member of your family or group, including daily clinics, drills, and private instruction – all at preferred rates to resort guests. Director of Tennis, Roy Barth brings his outstanding reputation as a professional player and skills as a gifted teacher to every tennis program at Kiawah Island Golf & Tennis Resort.
