Golf by Tom Fazio
Golf at Moss Creek Golf Club is a testament to the early greatness of Tom Fazio, who designed the entire Devils Elbow complex–both the South and North 18-hole courses. Each is lined with magnificent oak trees and tall airy pines, giving way to scented salt marshes.
The golf courses at Moss Creek Plantation can be best described as Lowcountry golf landscape accented by large ponds and water tributaries with tidal salt marshes at the edges. Golfers pause to spot alligators sunning on the banks, egrets and circling hawks or eagles, even a family of wild turkeys moving silently by.
From the Clubhouse to the Courts….
Inside its alluring Lowcountry facade, Moss Creek Clubhouse is ingeniously designed to include several large and small dining spaces and a classic Grill Room for gathering or watching a game. There are private rooms to meet and dine in, as well.

Located in the rolling hills of Lecanto, Florida, Black Diamond is a sanctuary for those looking for a special community unlike anything else in Florida.
The community itself is a nature preserve with an abundance of wildlife. Houses do not detract from the golf experience and the rolling hills and towering pines provide the perfect backdrop for a morning round or an evening walk. Send me more about this home!
A Breath of Fresh Air
Opening in December 1987, Black Diamond Ranch was “a breath of fresh air amidst the endless string of Florida’s gated communities,” says General Manager Doug Egly. “It’s the best of both worlds–an escape, worlds apart from the urban jungles of America, but close enough to all the major attractions, entertainment and niceties of city life.”
Developed by visionary Stan Olsen, Black Diamond was immediately recognized for the quality of the Quarry Course. Olsen was attracted to this relatively unknown region of Florida by the expansive sand hills, unspoiled coastline, big oaks, spring-fed rivers that flow into the near-by Gulf of Mexico and the sunny, temperate climate – great for year-round golf and living. Send me more about this home!
Magical Golf
Tom Fazio designed both the Quarry and Ranch courses at Black Diamond, but it’s the Quarry layout, especially the back nine, that put the community on the golf map. The 14th, 15th and 16th holes are carved over and around canyon walls and combine challenging shot making opportunities with fabulous views. This magical stretch of holes was called by renowned writer Dan Jenkins “the best five consecutive holes of golf anywhere in the world.”
Sitting quietly overlooking the Quarry course is the newly redesigned clubhouse at Black Diamond Ranch. Nestled among 100 year-old oak trees and towering pines, the clubhouse is the perfect respite after a round of golf with friends or a special dinner with family. One of the favorite areas for members to gather is on the wrap-around porch looking over the first and ninth holes. Homesites begin at just $15,000, homes range from $140,000 to over $1 million.

About Dataw Island
Located just outside of historic Beaufort and bounded by the Morgan River and Jenkins Creek, Dataw Island offers superlative golf, a wide range of watersports, excellent club facilities and gracious homes. Residents enjoy it all in the casual lifestyle and abundant, natural beauty found only in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Dataw Island seems made for Lowcountry golf. And Cotton Dike, the first golf course created here, had the perfect designer for the job, Tom Fazio. An experienced waterfront designer, Fazio took particular advantage of an unusual landscape. He coaxed the course out of the Carolina marshes by a series of dikes. The dikes were originally intended to create more land for cotton fields during the great plantation days of Dataw Island. Send me more about this home!
Waterviews & More
Almost half of Cotton Dike’s 18 holes lie along the marsh and Jenkins Creek. In 2011 Cotton Dike underwent a multi-million dollar rebuild and re-grassing of its greens and reopened to much fanfare.
Morgan River, designed by Arthur Hills, is narrower than Cotton Dike and demands greater accuracy. The beauty of the course is dramatic with breaks in stands of massive oaks creating frames for waterviews of the Morgan River and the savannahs beyond. Morgan River also enjoyed a major upgrade which was completed in 2012. Send me more about this home!
A Complete Marina
For those who are called by the water, Dataw Island’s full-service marina keeps you close to the sea. The privately owned deepwater slips and dry storage are just three miles from the Intracoastal Waterway. So you’re only 30 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and the Southeast’s finest fishing and sailing.
From concrete floating docks with break-water protection, free cable on transient docks, a full-service repair yard, diesel discount fuel, pump-out availability, air-conditioned showers and laundry, marine surveyor and an on-call diver, the marina staff takes care of everything you need for an uninhibited excursion on the water. Send me more about this home!
Real Estate
Dataw Island has long been known for its thoughtful master plan which is sensitive to the environmental concerns of the island while creating well-designed homesites with great orientation.
Dataw Island offers single-family homes with marvelous views of the marsh, the riverfront or the fairways of either Cotton Dike or Morgan River golf course. Homes are priced from the $100,000s to $1,000,000+. Inside, many homes offer custom cabinetry, granite and other top notch amenities. Send me more about this home!
