Colleton River is more than championship golf in a lush coastal South Carolina setting or a unique golf course landscape. It’s a vibrant community of family members and friends who appreciate getting together for incredible tennis, fabulous water sports, and to celebrate everything from traditional holidays to cultural activities. With 1,500 acres of unspoiled land-surrounded on three sides by rivers and marshes and the fourth side adjoining the nature preserve of Victoria Bluff – Colleton River is a nature lover’s paradise.
Enjoy the miles of walking and biking trails that weave their way from one end of the plantation to the other, and are enveloped by warm Southern breezes, shaded by stately live oaks and palms, and mesmerized by pristine waterways – all at Colleton River Plantation.The northwest boundary of Colleton River Plantation is a tidal-controlled estuary full of salt marshes, tidal creeks and islands. Boating is a popular pastime, or members can fish, crab or shrimp directly from the members’ dock.
If golf is your passion, then welcome to your very own private paradise at Colleton River. With two championship courses that have been ranked in GOLF Magazine’s “Top 100 Greatest Courses in the U.S.” list; the golfing experience at Colleton River is unparalleled. Not only are the courses challenging, playable and ever-changing, but with the award-winning signature 18-hole golf courses by world-renowned golf course designers Jack Nicklaus and Pete Dye, and even a Par 3 course designed by Bruce Borland, tee availability is also guaranteed to our members at almost any time of year.
One of the finest clubhouses in all of the southeastern United States, the Nicklaus Clubhouse’s 30,000 square feet contain an elegant fine-dining room, a casual bar, and a golf shop.With over 6,000 square feet dedicated to the pursuit of health and wellness, the Colleton River Fitness Center offers a myriad of ways to get fit or stay fit. It features a cardio theater, free-weights and circuit training, as well as a wide variety of group exercise classes. At the end of a perfect day, watch your friends finish the final four holes of the Nicklaus Course from the regal clubhouse porch, and witness some of the most amazing sunsets overlooking the Port Royal Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
The Dye Clubhouse is charmingly reminiscent of a southern plantation home and totally in keeping with the natural beauty of South Carolina’s Low country. The two-story structure has 18-foot-wide porches accessed through French doors, with 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. The lower level houses the golf shop, locker rooms and the Club’s library.From its wraparound porches members can enjoy spectacular views of the Chechessee River and Port Royal Sound, the marshlands, ancient live oaks, seabirds and seven of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful holes in all of the southern United States. The Dye Clubhouse is truly a little slice of heaven.
Conveniently located near the Nicklaus Clubhouse, the Stan Smith Tennis Center is a terrific facility, featuring a newly designed Tennis Pro Shop and five Har-Tru tennis courts. Colleton River’s expanding tennis programs are meant to engage and encourage players of all levels.
The heated, junior Olympic-size pool features five lanes for swimming laps, as well as water aerobics and interval training classes. The Aquatic Center, which includes both the adult pool and a kiddie pool, is a particular favorite during the warmer months in the balmy southern sun.
Many homes have their own private deep-water docks, and Colleton River recently built a new community dock, which includes a kayak rack and launch, fish cleaning station, and room for overnight docking. All sizes of boats have unfettered access to everything from eco-touring to ocean fishing and sailing. For freshwater fishing, there is an abundance of large-mouth bass, catfish and crappie in the dozens of tranquil lagoons scattered throughout the plantation.
Eagles soar frequently over Colleton River, while alligators, egrets, and stately blue herons share a spot at the water’s edge. Colleton River truly is a nature lover’s paradise.
