Long Cove Club

Although it is one of the smallest of the gated communities on Hilton Head Island (just 600 acres), the Long Cove Club offers perhaps the most desirable real estate and homes in South Carolina. The community is built around the ultra-private Pete Dye-designed golf course that is rated in the Top 10 of Golfweek's rankings of America's Best Residential Golf Courses and in Golf Digest's Top 100 American courses overall. Homesite ownership entitles the owner to membership in the Long Cove Club.

The community also offers its own private tennis club, Olympic-sized pool, deep water access, and first class amenities are surpassed only by the spectacular views and sunsets over Broad Creek. Long Cove Club is exclusive resort living at its finest.

Fishing and crabbing from the community dock are fun and productive Lowcountry pastimes. The grand clubhouse, at the end of an azalea and magnolia-lined drive, offers fine dining as well as rooms for cards and socializing.

Its homesites face the fairways and lagoons of the golf course. Midsize to huge, they feature such island favorites as wrap-around porches, summer kitchens, hot tubs and multiple fireplaces.
