Additional Information

New Membership Program Approved
The Dataw Island Club announces a new membership program for the club.  This program came as the result of months of work from a task force made up of club members.  The new membership structure removes the many categories of membership by combining them all into one designated club membership.

Each resident member has access to the dining and meeting facilities, fitness and activity center, indoor and outdoor pools and golf practice facilities. If a member wants additional use of club amenities such as golf, tennis and croquet, they have the ability to purchase packages that match their individual needs.

Create Your Amenity Package
For instance golf can be purchased at unlimited play, one, two or three month packages or 10, 20, 30 or 40 round packages. Tennis can also be purchased as an unlimited package or a one, two or three month package or a 10 or 20 court time package. Likewise, croquet can be purchased in several package formats.

“These options are wonderful as they are so flexible that a member can choose a membership structure that is tailored specifically for their family,” said David Warren Director of Marketing. “This is unique as members can now settle on a membership program which is distinctively designed for them.”

This new membership option program is also beneficial to a member who would like to see if a club amenity is right for them before making a full commitment to the sport.  For example, members can try out a level less than unlimited golf and see if they enjoy golfing.  If they do, they can simply add more golf to their membership package.
