There is little risk in verbalizing the obvious and stating that Colleton River is not only one of the more beautiful communities in the South Carolina Lowcountry but competes positively for that title from coast to coast.

One of the more unique features of Colleton River is a gift of nature and the evolution of the landscape of the South Carolina Lowcountry.

The Colleton River community is located on a peninsula and therefore is surrounded on three sides by water.

With the Colleton and Chechessee Rivers to the north and west, and the historically-significant Port Royal Sound that flows to the Atlantic to the east, its natural topography gives the community a rare foundation of beauty and features on which it developed a truly extraordinary community.

As this article on this exceptional development unfolds the brilliant utilization of this fifteen-hundred acres of land will become obvious.

Golf

Although we will cover several of the amenities of Colleton River over the next pages it would be bizarre to begin with any of the attributes other than golf.

With a line-up of facilities that bring wonder to the eyes of any golfer, much less the poor linksman shivering in the snow on some forlorn northern course, it would take some extraordinary community to give The Colleton River Club competition.

With two award award-winning signature eighteen-hole golf courses by Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye the residents enjoy the best of the world’s most talented course designers.

The Jack Nicklaus Course

The course is the epitome of Southern charm and beauty, yet it is definitely challenging, integrating a careful balance between challenge and playability.

While incorporating towering oak trees, marshes and tidal creeks throughout the course landscape, much attention is placed on strategy and shot-making.

These exceptional links sport a thirty-thousand square foot clubhouse for the residents to retreat to at the end of a day’s playing.

The Pete Dye Course

Opened in 1998, the course is ranked by Golf Digest as one of the Top 10 courses in the United States.

True to its nature as links-type course, golfers will enjoy unobstructed views of Port Royal Sound and the Atlantic Ocean from over half of the holes. Challenges met along the way are mostly present as small, undulating greens that are well-protected by pot bunkers.

At the end of eighteen holes on the dream course, the golfer, winner or not, can enjoy the waning hours of the day in the Pete Dye course’s own twenty-thousand square foot clubhouse.
