High Class 
    in the Lowcountry

If you need a refuge from the noise and grind of daily life, consider the private golf retreat at Briar’s Creek. This privately-gated community enjoys over 900 acres of scenic Johns Island, minutes from Charleston and Kiawah. This is a land of high culture and down-home leisure, where members and guests are treated to a well-deserved change of pace as the buzzing world of e-mail and traffic gives way to slow-moving waterways, unspoiled riverside vistas and centuries-old trees.

Designed by renowned architect Rees Jones, the par-72 masterpiece winds through 7,117 yards of protected woods and pristine saltwater estuaries where you’ll encounter challenging bunkers, dramatic roughs and gently rolling, quick putting surfaces.

As South Carolina’s first Certified Silver Audubon Signature Sanctuary, Jones’ design embraces the remarkable landscape and wildlife of the region as it leads you around, along, and even across pristine riverside vistas. One of the great things about this design is that, with six sets of tees, the course offers a spirited challenge for mixed groups of different handicaps, women, men, seniors and young guns.

Golf Digest named it the US’ “Best New Private Course” for 2002, and among its Top 100. It’s also been deemed #11 of the “25 Best Courses You Can Live On.” But the most impressive number is the club’s strict limit of just 300 members—with many non-residents and no unaccompanied guests—so you can tee off whenever you’d like. Warm up at the facility’s range and practice green, or inside with hot coffee and fresh-baked cookies. Head out to the course and tee off whenever you’re ready, but don't be surprised if it feels like you’re the only golfer out there. You may very well be.

The grand clubhouse boasts all the first-class amenities one would expect, with fine dining and luxurious lounge, gourmet kitchen, pro shop, bar and gathering areas, meeting room and well-appointed locker rooms. Outside, wide porches overlook the unique Event Peninsula, with two 40-foot, deepwater docks on Briar's Creek, and the 50-yard 19th hole. Nearby, six planned Golf Cottages will host members for overnight stays with guests and relatives.

The serious golf traditionalist will feel right at home here, and for a select few, it can be home. The estate home sites at Briar’s Creek are a seamless blend of exclusivity, nature and luxury. In a truly unique Lowcountry experience, nearly every single homesite in this community enjoys a dense canopy of the island’s signature Grand Oaks. At least 1,500 of these ancient trees stand throughout the property, averaging more than 400 years old.

Homes at Briar’s Creek blend traditional qualities and contemporary style, with native materials, colors and landscaping. The multi-acre homesites provide room to spread out and enjoy open porches, decks and guest houses.

Through its strong connection to the land and the lifestyle of the Lowcountry, Briar’s Creek is truly a rare combination of private club living, world-class golf, close-knit community and unmatched natural splendor.
