The TOP 25 Golf Communities in the Lowcountry & Coastal Georgia

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.

Hilton Head Summer Camps 2019

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?

The future is now

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.

Mountain Escape

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.

If you’re looking for something a little less active, there’s unique shopping, dining and art displays.

Oyster Shell Recycling

Oysters are a familiar sight in the Lowcountry, both on dinner plates and in area waters. But without careful conservation, that won’t always be the case. A local environmental program is hoping to replenish these important natural filters even as local diners slurp more and more of them out of their shells.
