Hilton Head Plantation is one of the island’s largest private, gated communities on the north end of Hilton Head Island, spanning roughly 4,000 acres between Port Royal Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway. With two entrance gates and 24-hour security, it’s known for a quiet, residential feel, mature Lowcountry scenery, and a lifestyle built around golf, boating, and the outdoors.
This is a community people choose for space, privacy, and nature—tree-lined roads, lagoons, and miles of paths that make it easy to walk, bike, and enjoy the outdoors day-to-day. Many neighborhood guides highlight multi-use leisure trails throughout the community.
Hilton Head Plantation is a true golf hub, with four on-site courses that give residents and members a lot of variety:
Dolphin Head Golf Club (noted as a Gary Player design and the Plantation’s first course)
Bear Creek Golf Club (an 18-hole Rees Jones design)
Oyster Reef Golf Club (widely recognized locally and noted for a Rees Jones layout)
Country Club of Hilton Head (an 18-hole Rees Jones course with full club amenities)
Beyond golf, Hilton Head Plantation is popular with buyers who want a well-rounded lifestyle—tennis and pickleball options, pools, and a community feel that works for both full-time residents and second-home owners.
Being positioned between the Sound and the Intracoastal is a big part of the appeal. For boaters, Skull Creek Marina is close by and offers deep-water access out to Port Royal Sound and the Atlantic.
Hilton Head Plantation offers a broad mix of homes—from low-maintenance villas to larger custom properties—often with golf, lagoon, wooded, or marsh-influenced views. It’s a great fit for buyers who want a gated, residential community with serious amenities and a north-end location that stays convenient to shopping, dining, medical services, and the bridge.
