What locals are saying
Anchored inside the Cougar Point Clubhouse with views of the course and a short walk to the beach, The Players' Pub is Kiawah Island Golf Resort's casual-dining afterthought that earns its keep as a post-round watering hole — sports TVs, reliable bar staff, and a NY strip that draws genuine praise. The friction point is consistent and loud: resort pricing that pushes a burger and fries past $36 and puts wine bottles at $60, with food quality that doesn't always justify the premium — stale salmon and flat chicken curry have made appearances. It's a 4-out-of-5 experience when the kitchen is on and the bar is humming, but diners who drift in expecting more than a convivial clubhouse atmosphere tend to leave disappointed and considerably lighter.
