Created in 1990, the Colleton River Plantation developers are committed to maintain the area's unspoiled beauty. It is surrounded by the 1,200-acre South Carolina Nature Preserve that is never to be developed and serves as a buffer to the outside world.

Above all, Colleton River Plantation offers an 18-hole Nicklaus Signature golf course, an "Augusta National-type" par 3 golf course, an extensive practice range facility with target greens, the Stan Smith designed tennis center and a community dock with access to the Intracoastal Waterway.

The clubhouse is the social hub of the Plantation and is in the tradition of classic country clubs with a polished level of service and personal attendance. The 23,000 square foot facility was designed by noted Atlanta architects, Nichols Carter Grant, in a traditional Southern architecture. Features include a golf shop, spacious men's and women's attended locker rooms, lounge and mixed grill, library, formal dining room with seating for approximately 100 and large verandas overlooking the four finishing holes and sunsets over the Colleton River. Membership is acquired only with the purchase of a homesite.
