COLLETON RIVER PLANTATION CLUB
🇺🇸 Bluffton, SC, USA
Designed by Pete Dye



Pete Dye's Colleton River masterpiece isn't just a Lowcountry course; it's a love letter to risk-reward golf, sculpted from the bluffs overlooking the Colleton River. With broad fairways that belie the challenge, it beckons bold play, where a daring tee shot can shorten the hole considerably, or land you amongst the alligators. The course is a true reflection of the river, at the heart of the club.
Dye's architectural fingerprints are all over this modern marvel – the railroad ties, the pot bunkers, the strategic mounding that frames every shot. While visually stunning, the course favors a strategic mind more than brute strength. A slight fade is helpful, as many holes turn gently from right to left, offering a distinct advantage. This Dye course is not the most celebrated among his many designs, but this is not just another stop and play course, you need to be invited to experience it.
The club itself, nestled within the Colleton River community, offers a sense of exclusivity and camaraderie among its members. This is a course meant to be shared, enjoyed with like-minded golfers. The halfway house is known for its Lowcountry boil – a tradition embraced with gusto after a challenging front nine, ensuring every round concludes with a taste of Southern hospitality.
