Why you should experience Haig Point Club + Community in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
Haig Point Club + Community is the rare Lowcountry enclave where ferry crossings, towering live oaks, and championship golf merge into a coastal world that feels deliberately set apart from everything around it.
This private residential and golf community sits on nearby Daufuskie Island across Calibogue Sound from Harbour Town, reachable only by boat or passenger ferry departing the Sea Pines harbor area. The journey itself becomes the first chapter of the experience. Water stretches wide across the sound as the mainland fades behind you, and the skyline of Hilton Head gives way to quiet maritime landscapes of marsh and forest. When the ferry docks, the environment shifts immediately into something slower and more deliberate. Dirt roads wind beneath canopies of moss-draped oaks, historic cottages sit quietly between maritime forests, and golf fairways appear unexpectedly between stretches of wild coastal terrain. Haig Point Club + Community carries the feeling of a private island retreat shaped by nature.
What you didn't know about Haig Point Club + Community.
Haig Point Club + Community occupies one of the most historically layered landscapes in the Lowcountry, combining preserved island history with modern private club living.
The property spans a large portion of Daufuskie Island, a barrier island long known for its Gullah heritage, maritime forests, and preserved coastal ecosystems. Within the community sits a signature Rees Jones designed golf course that winds through centuries-old oak groves and along dramatic waterfront stretches overlooking Calibogue Sound. Another unique landmark is the Strachan Mansion, a historic lighthouse keepers' residence relocated from the Georgia coast and reconstructed on the property, now used as a clubhouse and gathering venue. Life inside the community balances recreation with preservation. Golf, tennis, boating, and equestrian activities coexist alongside carefully protected wetlands and maritime forests that define the island's natural character. The result is a setting where luxury amenities exist within an environment that still feels deeply connected to the Lowcountry's historic landscape.
How to fold Haig Point Club + Community into your trip.
Haig Point Club + Community unfolds best as a full-day island escape that begins with the ferry crossing and settles into the quiet pace of Daufuskie Island life.
Guests typically begin the journey from the Sea Pines ferry dock, boarding a short ride across Calibogue Sound where dolphins occasionally surface beside the boat and the coastline slowly fades behind. Upon arrival, the island invites exploration by golf cart along winding roads shaded by ancient oak trees. A round of golf along the Rees Jones course offers sweeping views of the sound and glimpses of Hilton Head across the water, while the clubhouse terraces provide ideal places to pause between activities. Between rounds or outings, the island's quiet landscape encourages unhurried wandering through forest paths and waterfront overlooks. By the time the ferry returns across the sound, the experience lingers as something rare along the busy South Carolina coast: a place where the Lowcountry still feels deeply untouched.
