Kawonu Golf Club as completed grassing across all 18 holes of its championship course, bringing major course construction to a close as the private, golf-only club moves toward its spring 2027 opening.
The milestone comes approximately 16 months after Kawonu – located in Simpsonville, S.C. – broke ground in April 2025. With sodding, seeding and sprigging finished, Director of Agronomy David Barrett and his team will guide the course through the remaining grow-in period, establishing and maturing the turf ahead of opening.
“This is a major milestone for Kawonu and represents more than a year of work across the entire course,” said Scott Ferrell, founding partner of Kawonu Golf Club. “To reach the point where all 18 holes are fully grassed is a tremendous accomplishment and a credit to Andrew, David and everyone who has had a hand in bringing the course to this stage. We’re incredibly pleased with where it stands today and look forward to watching the course continue to mature.”…
