Long Cove Club
About Long Cove Club
Long Cove Club is a private residential community and golf course on Hilton Head Island, established in the early 1980s by developers David Ames, Joseph Webster and Wes Wilhelm. Set on just over 600 acres, the community was planned on a deliberately small scale, with single-family homes within a secure, gated setting.
The golf course was designed by Pete Dye and serves as the centerpiece of the community. Its routing moves through salt marsh, lagoons and stands of pine and live oak, and water is a recurring feature across the property. Access is limited to members and their guests.
