Three courses throughout Daufuskie—designed by big names in professional golf—offer 63 holes of quality green. Haig Point’s 29-hole Osprey course, by Rees Jones, is managed by Troon Golf and and offers various instructional clinics. Bloody Point’s 18-hole golf course, designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish together, challenges even experienced golfers with its par-72 holes. The last facility, the 1991 Melrose—a signature 18-hole design by Jack Nicklaus—follows the Atlantic Ocean along Daufuskie’s eastern shore for beautiful scenery and tough golf.
Six Har-Tru tennis courts, two lighted, make up Haig Point’s racquet club. Daufuskie Club and Resort, also referred to as Melrose Plantation, has 4 Har-Tru courts designed by Stan Smith. Two clubhouses nearly 13,000 square feet in total size, one at Melrose and the other at Bloody Point, present fine dining, lounges, grilles, pro shops, and dressing rooms. Haig Point’s clubhouse in the antebellum style contains men’s and women’s locker rooms, parlors for each, a pro shop, dining, a library, and an exercise room.
The beach stretches 3.5 miles, from the 14th green at the Rees Jones-designed golf course to the southernmost tip of Daufuskie. All over the island are small establishments offering goods and services with Daufuskie’s traditional style: Marshside Mama’s serves a delicious shrimp menu; and island-made arts, crafts, and other gifts and goods can be purchased at the general store or pottery emporium; or book a history tour of the island to learn about the former cotton and indigo fields. Sailing, kayaking, skiing, shrimping, fishing in the many lakes, lagoons, and ponds, or just lazing around are all typical and acceptable here.
Although there are few homesites and fewer homes currently developed on the Oak Ridge and Webb tracts, amenities for those already in ownership can be acquired through Haig Point’s or Melrose’s membership packages. Plans for Oak Ridge will include a large nature conservatory, including walking paths, riding trails, and views of the ocean.
