Golf Course Living in Charleston, SC

With so many nationally ranked golf courses in Charleston, SC, golf is a huge attraction in the area.  Some of the best courses are located in Mt. Pleasant and Kiawah Island, but you’ll find plenty of options throughout the Charleston area.  In fact, there is at least one golf course in 12 of the 16 Charleston areas.  Total, Charleston boasts 22 public and private courses and 13 golf course communities.  Most golf courses in Charleston are open to the public and don’t require you to live in the golf community to play.  However, there are a few courses on which you can only play by proof of residence or by invitation from a resident. 

Homes in Charleston golf communities generally offer large common areas and better than average amenities, such as swimming pools, tennis courts, and club houses.  Homes on a golf course in Charleston start in the mid $200’s and go up to several million dollars.

If you’re looking for resort-style living in a golf community, Wild Dunes Resort, Seabrook Island, and Kiawah Island would be good areas to start your real estate search.  These areas have multiple golf courses (some of which are beachfront), and they offer some of the finest amenities in all of Charleston.

Mt. Pleasant is also home to three nice golfing communities – Dunes West, Charleston National, and Rivertowne Country Club.  On James Island, Country Club is adjacent to the Country Club of Charleston, and it’s considered the only golfing community on the island.  Hope Plantation on John’s Island is another option, and it’s also the only neighborhood with a golf course on the island.  Daniel Island is set up a little differently in that residents from any of its communities can become members of its golf club.

More affordable options for living in a Charleston golf course community are Shadowmoss Plantation in West Ashley, Coosaw Creek in North Charleston, and Crowfield Plantation in Goose Creek.  Also, Summerville has Legend Oaks Plantation as well as Wescott Plantation.  The last option for Charleston golfing communities is Stono Ferry in Rural West Ashley, which is by far the most rural area of Charleston with a golf course.
