Charleston-area country-club & golf neighborhoods — a quick guide

Bulls Bay (Awendaw / Bulls Bay Golf Club) — A private, gated Lowcountry enclave built around a highly sculpted, award-winning course and dramatic marsh-and-pond scenery. Expect large lots, marsh-front homes and an emphasis on privacy and high-end custom construction — it’s a true “destination” golf community rather than a mass-market subdivision.

Rivertowne Country Club (Mount Pleasant) — A classic Mount Pleasant country-club neighborhood sitting on the Wando River and its tributaries; Rivertowne mixes golf-course living with riverfront lots, pond views and family-friendly amenities. You’ll find a range of home sizes (from generous single-family houses to newer custom builds) and an active club/social calendar that appeals to both golfers and waterfront buyers.

Dunes West Country Club (Mount Pleasant) — A large, gated golf community with a mix of neighborhoods — from marsh-view townhomes and villa options to estate lots. Dunes West centers around a championship course and offers broad on-site amenities (marina access nearby, fitness, pools and tennis), making it popular with families and buyers seeking a full amenity set without island-level pricing.

Legend Oaks Plantation (Summerville) — A long-running, master-planned golf community anchored by the Legend Oaks Golf Club. Think mature landscaping, a variety of house styles (from modest to large estate), and club amenities that appeal to families and active retirees alike — a classic Summerville golf-community vibe.

Summerville Country Club (Summerville) — One of the town’s oldest clubs (neighborhoods nearby reflect the town’s historic, small-town charm). If you want Summerville address, country-club access, and quick trips into downtown Summerville, this is a convenient, local option.

Crowfield Plantation (Goose Creek) — Goose Creek’s signature golf community and the area’s most prominent muni-style course/community. Crowfield offers a wide range of home sizes and price points, lakes and walking trails, and a genuine neighborhood feel — one of the more affordable ways to buy golf-course living in the Charleston metro.

Wescott Plantation / The Golf Club at Wescott (Summerville / North Charleston area) — A 27-hole facility with a clubhouse and event space; homes nearby often back to the greens and benefit from open views without mandatory club membership — good for buyers who want golf-adjacent living without a heavy HOA/dues commitment.

Daniel Island Park / Daniel Island Club (Daniel Island) — A planned island community with an upscale private club offering golf, tennis/pickleball, multiple pools, dining and frequent social events. Homes here skew newer and higher-end, and buyers are often drawn to the walkable island lifestyle as much as the club amenities.

Kiawah Island Club & Kiawah Island communities — If “country club” means high-end, championship golf and resort-level amenities, Kiawah is in a class of its own. Expect luxury homes, strong resale demand for island properties, and world-class golf that drives both lifestyle and prestige.

Seabrook Island (Seabrook Island Club) — A private ocean-front/resort like community with two Audubon-certified golf courses, lots of natural open space and a quieter, more nature-focused country-club lifestyle — more coastal resort than typical inland golf subdivision.

Wild Dunes / Isle of Palms (Resort & Club living) — Resort-style golf and beach clubs on Isle of Palms and nearby make this a popular choice for buyers who want beach + golf + rental/investment potential. Neighborhoods here mix full-time residents with second-home buyers.

Charleston National (Mount Pleasant) — A Rees Jones-designed championship course with an extensive residential component: condos, townhomes and single-family homes, some with marsh and intracoastal views. Good value relative to some waterfront Mt. Pleasant options, with strong family amenities.
