ABOUT LONG COVE CLUB
Hilton Head Island, SC | Long Cove Club is a private community on the southern end of Hilton Head Island. Originally developed in the early 1980's, Long Cove is an all-inclusive, one class of membership community where only property owners are members. It is situated on 610 acres, has 570 home sites, and is built around an acclaimed Pete Dye designed golf course. Long Cove Club has an excellent security system, and is very private, with no short-term rentals permitted. Every lot or homeowner is a member of Long Cove Club and has full use of the amenities we offer.
Our renowned golf course winds through majestic moss-draped oaks, towering pines, and the scenic tidal marshes of Broad Creek. Each hole showcases the natural beauty of the Lowcountry, creating a memorable and distinctly Long Cove Club golf experience.
Long Cove Club has many first-class amenities such as a full-service Clubhouse, which overlooks the first and eighteenth holes. Other amenities include a Jr. Olympic-size pool, a Sports Center with tennis, pickleball and bocce ball, a marina, community garden/playground and an 18-hole golf course.
Broad Creek, which leads to the Calibogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway, forms the northern boundary of Long Cove Club and offers a magnificent site for the community's 80+ slip Marina. Kayaking and fishing are also popular activities.
Long Cove Club's team is made up of a number of hard-working departments that include Administration, Clubhouse, Community Services, Golf Course Maintenance, Golf Operations, Security, and Sports Center. No matter what department you work in, your hard work continues to maintain the tradition established many years ago.
