Originally established in 1985 on historic land envisioned by founders Olan Mills and Doc Lachicotte, the member-owned premier private club has spent over four decades building a community centered around camaraderie, family traditions, and its celebrated Tom Fazio-designed golf course along the Waccamaw River. This latest investment ensures long-term sustainability and safeguards the club’s signature refined Lowcountry atmosphere for future generations.
