The character

Belfair announces itself before the gate: the approach runs through the Oaks, a grand allée of moss-draped live oaks that gives the community its signature arrival. Behind the wall sits a gated, member-owned equity community in Bluffton built around two Tom Fazio championship courses — the reason most buyers come — set on preserved Lowcountry land laced with lagoons and marsh.

It's an equity-club community, so owning here comes paired with a Belfair Club membership: golf, a wellness and fitness center, tennis, dining, and a full social calendar. The feel is settled and residential rather than resort — a quiet, amenity-rich village a short drive from Old Town Bluffton and Hilton Head, built for full-time and second-home owners who want the golf, the club, and the oaks in one place.

Life here

  • Two Tom Fazio 18-hole championship courses
  • The Oaks — a grand live-oak allée at the community's entrance
  • A wellness and fitness center, resort pool, and spa services
  • Tennis, a full clubhouse and dining, and an active social calendar
  • Preserved woods, lagoons, and marsh frontage throughout

Best for

  • Golf households who want two Fazio courses and a full equity club
  • Buyers who prefer a quiet, walled, low-density village over a resort
  • Full-time and second-home owners who value privacy and amenities together

Home styles

Custom Lowcountry and Southern-traditional homes — brick and clapboard with deep porches and courtyard plans — set on generous golf, lagoon, and wooded homesites under architectural review.
