Kiawah Island previously hosted the 2009 U.S. Mid-Amateur, won by Nathan Smith
The Kiawah Island Club’s Cassique Course will host both stroke play and match play, while the club’s River Course will serve as the stroke-play co-host course. The courses previously hosted the 2009 U.S. Mid-Amateur, in which Nathan Smith defeated Tim Spitz, 7 and 6, in the 36-hole championship match for the second of his record four U.S. Mid-Amateur titles.

We look forward to identifying an Amateur Four-Ball champion in the state of South Carolina for the first time in 2023.”
The Kiawah Island Club’s Cassique Course opened in 2000 and was designed by Tom Watson, the 1982 U.S. Open champion and a five-time winner of The Open Championship, conducted by The R&A. The links-style course is named for the Kiawah Indian chief who settled in an area where the Kiawah River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
