About Colleton River Club

Colleton River Club is a private community and golf club set in the South Carolina Lowcountry near Bluffton, bounded by water on three sides and adjoining an 1,100-acre nature preserve. Members have access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. The land, long valued for its fishing and game, was known locally as the "land between two rivers."

Golf is played over two courses, a Pete Dye design and a Jack Nicklaus Signature layout. Other facilities include a sports and wellness complex, a Junior Olympic swimming pool, a tennis center, three bocce courts and eight cushioned pickleball courts.

There are two renovated clubhouses, with the Dye Clubhouse featuring a rooftop lounge and dining area, along with the Palms Café and its nutrition-focused menu.
