Colleton River Plantation
Bluffton, South Carolina

Colleton River is set off from the rest of the world by a 1,700-acre nature
preserve and is distinguished by its 36 holes of golf and elegant lifestyle.

Description

Colleton River Plantation Club is one of South Carolina’s most prestigious private golf communities located 1.5 miles from the bridge to Hilton Head Island. It is a place of great natural beauty with towering live oaks, Lowcountry marshes, tidal creeks, lakes and magnificent views of the Colleton and Chechessee Rivers as they flow into Port Royal Sound.

South Carolina’s Lowcountry is known for its natural beauty, and Colleton River Plantation Club occupies one of the finest pieces of land in the area. Picture 1,500 pristine acres surrounded on three sides by water with over seven miles of scenic shoreline. Members enter the community through a 950-acre nature preserve that buffers Colleton River from the vibrant activities of Hilton Head Island and the town of Bluffton, just moments away.

This ideal location is just minutes from the water, shopping and more.

Colleton River Plantation Club
Choose from waterfront homes with deep-water docks on the Colleton River, homes adjacent to natural lagoons, homes overlooking the golf courses, or homes with views of the river and the ever-changing salt marshes. Several multi-unit cottages are also available for members and their guests.

Wooded homesites feature beautiful single-family homes with diverse architecture that blends gracefully into the elegance of the surrounding land.

Colleton River is a Platinum Club of America, ranking No. 13 in the nation’s best residential communities.

The heart and soul of the Club are its two championship golf courses, designed by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye and both ranked by Golf Magazine's “Top 100 Greatest Courses in the U.S.” And, if you enjoy tennis, swimming, hiking, biking, fishing, and boating, it’s all here.

There’s also fine and casual dining at two clubhouses, a Golf Learning Academy, a member library, art classes, a community dock, even a social community for dogs.

Colleton River is a private club, owned and operated by its members through a member-elected Board of Directors. It is situated on more than 1,500 acres, with a low density of only 705 homesites, offering a variety of marsh, golf course, river and forest views. Over 300 homes and cottages have already been built and are occupied full or part-time by members from around the world.

The Nicklaus Clubhouse.

Nicklaus Clubhouse
The recently rebuilt Nicklaus Clubhouse is arguably one of the finest clubhouses in the Southeast.  From the stately members’ porch, you can watch your friends finish the final four holes of the Nicklaus Course, and later witness spectacular sunsets over the Colleton River.

Its 30,000 square feet houses the health and fitness center, an elegant fine-dining room, a casual bar, and a number of small breakout rooms for private functions, meetings and card groups.  The men’s and ladies' lounges are comfortable gathering spots to recap the events of the day, have a bite to eat or catch the news.  The Wine Room, a smaller, more intimate private dining room, decorated as a wine cellar, is also available.

There is a large banquet room, ideal for special events such as lecture series, classes and wedding receptions.

The Dye Clubhouse.

The Dye Clubhouse is charmingly reminiscent of a Southern plantation home.  This two-story structure has 18-foot wide porches accessed through French doors, large columns, brick arches and tabby stucco exteriors.  Inside, there is a member's bar and casual dining area, a large, more formal dining room and several smaller breakout rooms.  On the lower level is the Dye Pro Shop, locker rooms and the Club’s library, with hundreds of books and audio tapes that are freely shared among the members.

From its wraparound porches members can enjoy a magnificent view of the Chechessee River and Port Royal Sound, the marshlands, ancient live oaks, seabirds and not less than seven of the most spectacular holes on the Pete Dye Course. It is truly a wonderful venue for relaxing with a cocktail on the porch and a more casual dining experience.
