The Island Plantations

A "plantation" on Hilton Head Island is another word for a planned community with strict covenants and controlled access. The map on the next page shows the plantations of the Island, followed by a scale of the association fees for each plantation and a brief description of each. Part of the information given is about the different clubs associated with each plantation. Memberships are based on residency/non-residency, individual/couple/family requirements, and which type of membership you desire (golf, tennis, social). Because the packages offered are so diverse and complex depending on your personal requirements, we have included a contact name and phone number and suggest that should you have questions concerning club memberships you call for more detailed information.

FOLLY FIELD

In the last few years, the area between Palmetto Dunes and Port Royal Resorts has become known as "Middle Beach." Long before there was a bridge, this beach area had been favored by many island visitors. You will hear long time visitors and locals still refer to Middle Beach, or as it once was known Colliers, in endearing more specific terms. There is Singleton's beach, Driesseen's beach, Bradley beach, Burkes beach, and Folly Field. There is beach parking at most of these beaches, and the Islander's Beach Park is in Folly Field. During the last five years Singleton Beach has been undergoing a transformation, and is now one of the island's newest oceanfront and ocean oriented permanent and vacation home developments. The Burkes and Bradley beaches still have some of the islands first beach oriented homes mixed with newer homes. The island's best surfing is found in the Middle Beach area between Burkes and Bradley beaches.

The Folly Field Beach area is where the majority of Middle Beach resort development has taken place. This area is home to many island visitors who have been frequenting the island since 278 was a dirt trail, and dotting the streets there still some of the more traditional Carolina beach homes. Hilton Head Beach and Tennis Resort, which opened in the early eighties, is a gated 800 unit ocean front resort complex. Its amenities include the island's largest ocean front pool, twelve lit tennis courts, a convenience store, restaurant, and a beach bar cafe. Fiddler's Cove, adjacent to HHBT, is a smaller resort, but has design similarities, and is also gated. This resort has two pools, and lighted har-tru tennis courts. Half a mile up the beach is The Island Club. This gated ocean front complex is superbly landscaped, and very well designed. Its lighted tennis club is noted as having some of the island best maintained courts. A few minutes up the beach from the Island Club is the Westin Hotel, the Barony Beach Club, and Port Royal Village with its famous Port Royal Tennis Club.

It is this ambiance that annually draws thousands to Hilton Head Island, the region's most popular world-class resort.

SUN CITY

Discover Sun City Hilton Head, the premier active adult community in the Carolinas!

Nestled in the heart of South Carolina's Treasured Coast lies Sun City Hilton Head, where the natural beauty of the Lowcountry coexists with world-class amenities and inviting destinations. Here, you don't just buy a home, you become part of a vibrant, active and growing community where you'll meet new friends and enjoy first-class amenities, clubs and activities. Nearby Hilton Head Island, Beaufort and Savannah offer shopping, dining and culture to please even the most discriminating taste. We encourage you to visit our 4,300-acre community to explore the choices in homes, neighborhoods and lifestyles that are as unique as you are.

At Sun City, you'll find a wide array of homes created specifically for the Hilton Head lifestyle. Del Webb, a member of the Pulte Homes family, ensures quality craftsmanship, value and attention to detail with its 7-Step Process, the industry's first multi-step customer care program. This 7-Step Process involves owners at every critical stage of construction and gives them the thrilling experience of watching what was once just an idea become a reality.

Town Square is Sun City Hilton Head's multi-million-dollar, 45-acre Community Recreation Campus. And what recreation there is! The 17,000 square-foot social hall is home to lectures, workshops, dances, concerts and more than 80 chartered clubs. The Purrysburg Fitness Center will keep you moving with a dance and aerobics studio, fitness equipment and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Play outdoors and enjoy tennis, croquet, horseshoes, bocce, bicycling, softball, fitness trails, and fishing and boating on the 20-acre Lake Somerset. When it's party time, head for our outdoor, covered Party Pavilion.

The most extensive walking trail at Sun City Hilton Head provides residents with an opportunity to commune with nature in a spectacular natural setting. The elevated boardwalk is slightly less than one mile in length, at 4,400 feet, and meanders through acres of majestic oaks, pines, maples, gum trees and wetlands. Scores of species of birds live in the area, including bald eagles, hawks and osprey, as well as deer, rabbits and tortoises. There are three covered "comfort stations" along the nature trail, providing water, emergency phone service to the front gate, benches and shade.

Golf is a "given" on the Treasured Coast, and Sun City Hilton Head gives you two terrific choices. Our 18-hole Okatie Creek Golf Club-which includes a driving range, putting green, and a 10,400-square-foot clubhouse-and the Hidden Cypress Golf Club are both designed by PGA tour professional Mark McCumber. The Hidden Cypress Golf Club and Recreational Center includes the Hidden Cypress Golf Club facility, a state-of-the-art fitness center, Citta del Sole Restaurant and Cafe, and meeting rooms-all in one large building. In addition, a 5,000-square-foot heated outdoor pool with swim lanes and walking area is located adjacent to the fitness center.

If gardening is your passion, you can exercise your nurturing nature here. Our community garden has 57 fenced 20' x 20' gardens available for lease-each with irrigation. Do you prefer indoor handiwork? Our Yemasee Crafts Center has workshops for ceramics, painting and sewing, as well as a computer lab. And, our state-of-the art, fully-equipped, 6,250-square-foot workshop with separate rooms for large machinery, assembly, tools and lumber will keep your hands busy.

Other Areas of the Island

Outside the plantations there is a great diversity of communities! The main difference is the absence of controlled access to them, which may be why some choose them over plantation living. Though most of the "off plantation" communities do have their own covenants, restrictions, and Architectural Review Boards, they tend to be less strict and allow for more individuality than do those "on plantation".
