Golf Course Upgrades Lift Community Experience
Golf course upgrades and improvements are happening at GolfCourseHome.com golf communities in concert with the current rise in new course construction.
Case in point, within the last three years (roughly 2023–2026), several GCH South Carolina golf communities have completed or initiated significant course renovations:

Golf Course Upgrades: Ongoing & Multi-Year Programs

>> Dataw Island and Colleton River Club also noted significant improvements. Colleton River’s recent focus, however, has been on its Dye clubhouse and sports areas rather than the courses themselves. Send me more information about Dataw Island.
New Course Openings
>> Palmetto Bluff, Blufton: Anson Point, a private, member-only course designed by architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, enjoyed a soft opening on January 2, 2026.
The conservation-centric course unfolds across more than 500 acres of preserved land. It was intentionally designed without any residential development, a rarity in luxury golf communities, underscoring Palmetto Bluff’s deep commitment to conservation of the area’s iconic eco-system.
