Course Description
On a private, protected plantation, near the coast of South Carolina, you'll find a way of life that is as timeless as the untouched marshes and forests that define it. You'll find the best of outdoor living, the best of the sporting traditions of the south and the best combination of amenities and services. You'll find all of this and more at Brays Island Plantation, a private community reserved for a select few, where natural beauty and cherished traditions blend to create a lifestyle unmatched by any other, in a place like nothing you've ever seen. For years, Brays Island functioned as a working plantation, producing staples such as cotton, indigo and rice and yielding a life defined by close interaction with the land, appreciation for the majesties of nature and for sport and outdoor pursuits. Today, life at Brays Island Plantation is remarkably unchanged from those earlier days. The 5,500-acre plantation is still largely undeveloped - in fact, 3,500 acres remain untouched in vast nature and hunting preserves. As a result, it's still quiet here. You can hear the rustle of the wind through the trees, the movement of the water, the chatter of wildlife. The plantation's striking centerpiece, an elegant Georgian manor, holds its place at the heart of life here.
