Top-Ranked for the Good Life

Consistently placing high in the published ranking lists of preferred communities, Beaufort and Dataw Island have been named among the top choices in the nation for retirement living for many years. 

Boats and yachts stand ready at the marina.

Fortune magazine, New Choices magazine, a Reader's Digest publication, and Where to Retire magazine have all singled out Dataw Island and the surrounding Beaufort area as ideal places to purchase a vacation home or eventually retire to. And in January 2004, Where to Retire named Beaufort one of their eight "Great Low Tax Towns." 

Island Golf
Dataw Island seems made for Lowcountry golf, and Cotton Dike, the first golf course created here, had the perfect designer for the job, Tom Fazio.

An experienced architect who has made a name for himself for the waterfront courses he has designed, Fazio took particular advantage of an unusual landscape coaxed out of the Carolina marshes by a series of dikes which were originally intended to create more land for cotton fields during the great Plantation days of Dataw Island. 

Tight fairways demand practice time on the driving range.

Almost half of the 18 holes lie along the marsh and Jenkins Creek, a wonderful contrast of the natural beauty of the Lowcountry and the precision design of the Cotton Dike course. Of course, with so many natural watery hazards, the 18 holes of Cotton Dike require thoughtful strategy and consistent accuracy. 

Morgan River, the second course built at Dataw Island, is a striking example of Arthur Hills' handiwork. Narrower than Cotton Dike, the Morgan River course demands even greater accuracy, but well rewards every disciplined shot. The beauty of the course is dramatic with breaks in stands of massive oaks creating frames for water views of the Morgan River and the savannahs beyond.

The Expanded Clubhouse
Dataw Island's expanded Clubhouse is designed to serve as the heart of this warm, friendly and active community. Its sweeping staircases and tall windows recall the best traditions of the Lowcountry and its relaxed style of living.
