Belfair Golf Club

The long entrance under a canopy of ancient live oak trees provides a stunning introduction to Belfair in Bluffton, SC. Opened in 1994 on former farmland beside the Colleton River, Belfair’s developers made great use of the property, ensuring that its 730 home sites would not intrude on the beauty of the community’s 1,100 acres. They left plenty of room for man and nature; indeed, the community is home to a wide variety of birds that fill Belfair’s rookery most of the year. The developers also made the right decision in hiring noted golf architect Tom Fazio to lay out 36 holes of entertaining, yet challenging, golf. Fazio’s expertise at mixing his signature cloverleaf fairway bunkers with sprawling green complexes is on full display in Belfair’s East and West courses, which perennially earn top 50 rankings in golf rich South Carolina.

Belfair’s real estate comprises single-family homes only, with pricing that starts in the $800s. But dreamers may opt for one of a few choice lots and build their own home. Prices for the remaining home sites are as low as $29,000.
