Boat-only golf club in South Carolina plans renovation of two courses
Accessible by ferry, Haig Point will update both its Rees Jones-designed golf courses as part of $40 million investment.
Haig Point Club and Community Association – reachable only by boat on Daufuskie Island, S. C. – has announced a multi-year investment initiative that will include upgrades to its two golf courses, Signature and Osprey.
Named Project Harmony, the $40 million initiative at the member-owned club will steer all growth in golf, infrastructure and residential development. Operating as a private club that allows limited guest play, Haig Point offers the two courses designed by Rees Jones, both of which opened in the late 1980s. The Signature course features 20 greens, with the Nos.
8 and 17 each offering two greens for play. The Osprey is a nine-hole course. Jones will return to lead the work on both courses.
As described in a media release announcing Project Harmony, plans for the Signature courses include: Reshaping, realigning and laser-leveling all tees With the exception of holes 1 and 15, all greens will be partially rebuilt with an emphasis on regrading all approaches Complete rebuild of greens 1 and 15 Reshaping all bunkers to a modern style Bunkers reconstructed using Bunker Solutions Fairways regraded Greens to be re-grassed with TifEagle Bermuda.
