Member, Golf Course Home
Retirement Planner Advisory Board
This week Hilton Head Island SC, is hosting golf’s top players at the 48th Annual RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing (April 11–17) at the famed Harbour Town Golf Links at Sea Pines Resort.
Spectators and players alike share a deep regard for a tournament that has become one of the most beloved, respected and charitable stops on the PGA TOUR. Hilton Head’s signature event and South Carolina’s only PGA TOUR golf tournament pumps more than $96 million into the state of South Carolina economy each year.
New Investment, More Visitors
Beautiful beaches are standard at Hilton Head Plantation.
Hilton Head Island SC has rebounded significantly from the days, not many years ago, when the very future of the Heritage was in question. Last year‘s record 2.65 million annual visitors were, in many ways, the result of $300 million dollars invested in the island’s hotels and amenities over the last few years by new owners and legacy investors as well. Send me more information about Hilton Head Plantation!
Sea Pines Resort alone has invested between $50 and $100 million dollars in a new 55,000 square foot club house at Harbour Town, complete with a 4,000-square-foot locker room to accommodate a full tour field, renovation of its golf courses, indoor and outdoor dining venues and other amenities.
Tourism generates over 15,000 jobs in Beaufort County or roughly 17 percent of the workforce and tourism’s economic impact on Hilton Head is estimated at $993.6 million dollars annually.
Real Estate Sales Are Up
Real Estate buyers have taken notice. Total closed sales increased 13.2 percent on Hilton Head Island in 2015, according to South Carolina Realtors’ annual market report. Hilton Head continues to lead the state in highest median list prices, at $276,900, up by 7.3 percent from 2014.
Moss Creek offers golf, equestrian facilities and dockage.
Statewide, the annual median sales price was up by more than 6 percent, to $172,000 — the highest since SC Realtors began tracking it in 2005. The median owner-occupied home value on Hilton Head is $447,400. Send me more information about Moss Creek Plantation!
Retirees Choose Hilton Head Island SC
Hilton Head, with its beautiful beaches, golf, tennis, great shopping and a host of dining options is a magnet for 2.5 million visitors a year and many of those return to become part of the islands 38,000 plus permanent residents. That trend is especially true for retirees.
Palmetto Bluff: Exquisite Lowcountry style.
From 2000 to 2014, the Town of Hilton Head aged at three times the national rate. Today about a third of residents are older than 65 – up from 24 percent in 2000. Send me more information about Palmetto Bluff!
Older and Smarter
Older yes, but they are also more educated, socially active, wealthier and more inclined to volunteer their time and skills to give back to the community. About 58 percent of the island’s seniors have a bachelor’s degree compared to 37 percent in Beaufort County and 22 percent statewide.
Serve crabs for dinner courtesy of Oldfield’s crabbing dock.
Beaufort County has the highest per capita income in the state at $32,290, in part thanks to Hilton Head’s $45,116 per capita income, only slightly more than half of which comes from wages. Send me more information about Oldfield!
Culture Gets a Big Boost
The islands retirees are a game-changer for the local cultural institutions such as the Hilton Head Symphony Orchestra and the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina.
Colleton River offers 36 holes of champion golf and water views.
Their volunteerism, philanthropy and an abundance of talent also provide a support system for the islands non-profits such as Volunteers in Medicine, the Coastal Discovery Museum and others. Send me more information about Colleton River!
Volunteers also provide thousands of hours of service on the Town of Hilton Head’s many committees. There is little doubt that this group is reshaping the future of Hilton Head for the better. It is a remarkable place to visit and an even better one to call home. And more so now than ever.

Championship Golf by Mark McCumber
The year-round Osprey Cove course is set against a backdrop of sweeping marshes, tidal inlets and nature conservation areas. At every turn, the breathtaking panorama of the Lowcountry envelops you. The newly renovated clubhouse offers sweeping views of the course and the marsh beyond.
Designed by Mark McCumber & Associates, the layout is a testament to McCumber’s commitment to establishing a course that is defined by the natural characteristics of the land and river. Osprey Cove has earned numerous accolades and been listed among Golfweek’s “Top 5 in Georgia” and Golf and Travel’s “Top 100 Modern Courses.” Golf Digest rated the course five stars and designated it: “A gem…must play if you’re within 100 miles.”
With social membership, you will enjoy tennis, fine dining, fitness facilities and classes, access to the private boat dock, RV/boat storage and clubs to satisfy every interest. Add a golf membership and a nationally-acclaimed course is at your disposal. Send me more about this home in Osprey Cove!
Life on the Water
Water is integral to life at Osprey Cove. With the St. Marys River running through the spectacular marshes that cozy up to the community, and the ocean within easy reach.
Members love kayaking the river, meandering down the boardwalk along the river’s edge, taking a sunset cruise, grabbing a drink with friends at the marshfront Tiki Hut, or fishing for tarpon, Spanish and king mackerel, cobia and reds. Club members have two easy means of access to the Intracoastal Waterway–they can venture out from their home via their own private dock or by way of the community’s dock.
Just minutes away is the Cumberland Island National Seashore, the largest and southernmost barrier island in Georgia. Here you’ll find 18 miles of white-sand beaches perfect for beachcombing. You’ll also catch a glimpse of wild horses, dolphins, sea turtles, shore birds and much more. And, of course, for those who choose a marsh or riverfront home or homesite, the joys of life on the water are never-ending. Send me more about this home in Osprey Cove!
