Hilton Head Monthly Voice Voice of the Lowcountry 
TWO LEGENDARY ARCHITECTS – ONE LOWCOUNTRY ADDRESS.
The same way there will always be a debate over who is the greatest golfer to ever tee up a ball, there will never be a definitive answer to who is the best architect to design a golf course. But certainly there are a few names that currently – and forever will – rise to the top. Two such names are the architects behind the two championship courses at the private golf community of Colleton River Club: Pete Dye and Jack Nicklaus.
From color to patterns to neutrals, there really isn’t a wrong way to celebrate spring.
NEW RIVER LINEAR TRAIL OFFERS A WALK BACK IN TIME
As Bluffton’s population continues to grow and new developments to change its landscape, it’s easy to feel like the natural beauty and history that define this once-sleepy coastal town are disappearing.
For example, little evidence still remains of Bluffton’s Civil War-era rice plantations or the timber that once stretched from the May River as far as the eye could see. Gone are the days when vital raw materials and finished goods arrived in town via the Seaboard Air Line Railway instead of U.S. 278.

Coastal South Carolina and coastal Georgia are home to many of the country’s top 100 private residential golf communities, as rated by Links magazine. From Sea Pines to Savannah Harbor, the area is ripe with lush greens just waiting for hackers.
Two of the most iconic and most visited historic towns in the U.S., Savannah and Charleston, draw millions of tourists, and Hilton Head Island does pretty well, too. Many play golf while visiting, and some decide they want to retire to the Lowcountry. The mild climate, dramatic marsh vistas, live oaks, palm trees and the availability of vast tracts of affordable land all favored development of high-end residential communities centered around golf.
PROFILING UPCOMING SUMMER CAMPS OF THE LOWCOUNTRY
Summer vacation is almost here, and with it the annual question faced by parents: what are we going to do with the kids? Whether you need care for them while you work, are looking to keep them entertained for a week or two, or just want to get children out of the house for a few hours so they don’t spend the whole day playing video games or watching netflix, the lowcountry has a great selection of summer camps.
ELECTRIC CARS GAIN POPULARITY
“They all look like dinosaurs,” Hilton Head Island resident and Tesla automobile owner Edmond Hopper said as he watched conventional, gasoline-powered cars drive down U.S. 278. “I like technology, and I like saving the environment.”
The day his effervescent other half, Rheney, celebrated a milestone birthday, Edmond sat her down at his laptop and told her to select the final finishes of her new Tesla Model 3. Stunned, she leaned in to point and click, and with a deposit of $2,500 the car was hers.
HILTON HEAD PUBLIC SERVICE DISTRICT SAYS FUTURE IS SECURE
Water is life, so it’s refreshing to learn that the intrusion of salt water into public utility wells on Hilton Head Island is not a crisis. Thanks to abundant supplies and a half-century of careful planning by the Hilton Head Public Service District and other utilities, officials are confident that local consumers will enjoy high-quality drinking water and waste water treatment for years to come.
GETTING AWAY TO THE BEAUTY OF THE BLUE RIDGE
There’s a lot to love about Asheville, North Carolina, in the spring: Delightful weather, the Blue Ridge Mountains backdrop, the crisp, clean air. The mountain town also offers a bounty of outdoor adventures — hiking, climbing, fishing, camping, boating, biking, birding, rafting and off-roading.
