Welcome to Great Golf Communities in Hilton Head Print E-mail

Charles Fraser didn't write the book on planned golf communities, just the first few indelible chapters when he carved the Sea Pines Plantation out of the pines of Hilton Head Island in the late 1950's. We use the word “carved” in the most delicate sense, because what made Fraser's development historic was the care with which his community was laid out to preserve as much of the natural beauty of the southern end of the island as possible. Sea Pines is widely considered the first Eco-planned destination in the United States. That minimalist approach became the island-wide mantra for the east coast's second-largest barrier island and now home of just over 30,000 year-round residents.

The 42-square mile island's other “plantations,” some of which are laid out along the boundaries of original southern plantations, offer golf at 23 courses on-island alone (10 of them private) and an unrivaled variety of views. These vistas are limited not only to fairways and greens, but salt marshes, lagoons, creeks, forests of moss-draped oaks, magnolias and South Carolina's signature palmettos will stimulate the senses no matter the time of year. Oh yeah, and let us not forget access to 12 miles of sandy beaches on the Atlantic Ocean or adjacent Port Royal and Calibogue Sounds.

The boom in 21 st -century Hilton Head golf community life has stretched off-island where new communities with a great variety of golf, real estate and architectural options are changing the residential landscape while continuing to preserve much of the Lowcountry charm Charles Fraser envisioned when he changed golf community life a half-century ago.

Residents and the nearly 3 million annual visitors co-exist superbly in the knowledge that the support of each allows visits by Broadway touring companies, a resident orchestra and theatre and hundreds of unique shops and restaurants to thrive.
