About Moss Creek Plantation
Moss Creek Plantation is a private, master-planned community covering 1,000 acres just minutes from the bridge that leads to world-famous Hilton Head Island. The property, blessed with natural beauty, is maintained and managed with utmost care and attention to detail.
Property owners each own a share of Moss Creek Plantation’s enviable amenities–two great golf courses, seven tennis courts, fully equipped equestrian center, boat storage facility, two nature preserves, 14,000-sf clubhouse, casual waterfront pavilion, marshfront pool and miles of trails.
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.
The Moss Creek Tennis Center, open to all residents, consists of 7 Har-Tru lighted courts, a practice wall and ball machine, tennis clubhouse with pro shop and plenty of seating for enthusiasts to watch friends as well as professional exhibitions.
This tennis-loving community is home to a vibrant club led by its PTR Certified Professional and organized into USTA leagues for all levels of men’s, women’s and mixed doubles. Group and private lessons are available for beginner to advanced players.

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!
