Set in the Carolina Lowcountry, Callawassie Island is a private, gated island community offering world-class Tom Fazio golf and a full complement of amenities.

The homes and homesites of Callawassie—including waterfront— are among the area’s best values. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!
Golf by Tom Fazio
In designing the 27-hole Callawassie Island golf course, Fazio took advantage of a lush natural environment to create intriguing visual drama as well as excellent playability.
One of the master architect’s earliest designs, the course meanders intimately along the river and salt marshes in a way that environmental regulations make difficult today. And wth a recent $4 million renovation, the three distinct nines play like new. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!
A Certified Community Wildlife Habitat
Callawassie Island is the first South Carolina community to have been designated a “Community Wildlife Habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation. Coexisting with nature—with live oaks and palmettos, with egrets and herons, and with the thriving ecosystem of the salt marsh—has always been important here. Today, that distinguished designation still applies and Callawassie is one of only four South Carolina communities that can claim it.
Clubhouse and Other Amenities
Every community needs a center, and at Callawassie Island, it’s the gracious clubhouse. Encompassing 26,000 square feet of Lowcountry style, it offers a fine blend of casual and formal dining areas. Members and guests enjoy the Grill Room Bar for a drink after a round of golf as much as the Dogwood Room for a gourmet dinner.
The clubhouse complex includes a pool overlooking the marsh, with the golf practice area, pro shop, tennis center, and fitness center nearby. Final touches are bocce and croquet courts and a horseshoe pit. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!

The Sugar Mill Ruins dock and the Paddler’s Point dock offer easy creek access to residents with smaller boats or kayaks. The island’s surrounding tidal rivers, creeks, and freshwater ponds are home to great inshore fishing. Residents catch shrimp and crab right off the community docks.
