A Pete Dye-designed masterpiece, a deep-water marina on Broad Creek, and a strictly residential, member-owned ethos — among the most prestigious addresses on the East Coast.
Long Cove Club occupies six hundred acres along Broad Creek on the western side of Hilton Head Island. From its founding in 1981 it was structured as a private, member-owned residential community — with mandatory club membership, no rentals, and no resort component — and that founding ethos has produced one of the most consistently maintained and tightly held communities in the Southeast.
The community's centerpiece is its golf course: a Pete Dye design completed in 1982 and consistently ranked among the top private courses in South Carolina and among the top one hundred in the United States. Routed through tidal marsh, freshwater lagoons, and centuries-old live oaks, it is widely considered Dye's most refined Lowcountry work.
Long Cove's broader amenity program — marina, racquet center, fitness, casual and formal dining — operates under a single resident-owned membership.
A Pete Dye 1982 design, consistently ranked among the top private courses in South Carolina — routed through marsh, lagoon, and live-oak forest with the strategic detail Dye is known for.
A protected deep-water marina on Broad Creek with direct access to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway — slips reserved for members.
A full clubhouse with formal and casual dining, member events, and a wraparound porch overlooking the eighteenth green.
On-site har-tru tennis, pickleball, fitness center, and aquatic facility — all under the Long Cove Club membership.
Long Cove's residential character is shaped by some of the most mature tree canopy on the island, with original live oaks preserved throughout the community.
An active architectural review board has maintained a consistent residential character across four decades of development.
Long Cove was structured from inception around three principles — member ownership, no rentals, and strict design control. Those principles continue to define the community today.
Member-Owned ClubThe Long Cove Club is owned by its members, not by a third-party operator — meaning all reinvestment flows back into the community.
No Rental InventoryShort-term rentals are not permitted within the gate, preserving a strictly residential atmosphere.
Mandatory MembershipProperty ownership requires club membership, ensuring all residents are engaged in the community's governance and amenity programs.
Long Cove offers the following property types:
Long Cove is a small, slow-turning inventory — properties are typically held for decades, and active listings tend to be limited. Deep-water frontage and golf-course exposure command meaningful premiums, while interior estate lots remain among the most architecturally consistent properties on Hilton Head. For buyers who place private member-ownership and golf above all other priorities, Long Cove warrants careful, patient attention.
