Chechessee Golf Club
As the only Bill Coore & Ben Crenshaw-designed golf course in South Carolina, members enjoy a course that rewards players adept at strategy, precision, and short game equally with those with power and length. With seasoned caddies available to share their knowledge of the course, members enjoy a walk among the scenic Lowcountry landscape of majestic Live oaks and long-needle pines with stunning marsh views dotted along the course. The amenities and hospitality Chechessee Creek Club offers show our commitment to providing you with an experience that will make your visit outstanding. Located between the historic town of Beaufort, S.C., and the resort island of Hilton Head, Chechessee Creek Club is in the heart of the Lowcountry. Chechessee Creek Club opened its doors in 2000 and has become one of the Southeast's premier private national golf clubs.
We offer non-resident and resident membership, both with a junior option. Junior membership is available to those that are 35 years of age or under at the time of joining as a full member. Our current initiation fees are $15,000 for non-residents and residents and $7,500 for the junior option. Initiation fees and dues fees are reviewed annually by the club and may be different rates from when you join as a member.
Currently, our membership is fully subscribed. While we know this is not optimal news, we would like to join our waitlist for full membership and also take advantage of our seasonal membership program outlined below. We offer a limited number of seasonal memberships, so please see below for this exciting opportunity!
Seasonal Membership Details
As a seasonal member, you are entitled to use the club during the months of January, February, June, July, August, September, and December:
• Full club privileges are included for spouse and dependent children.
• Advance booking for tee times and lodging is limited to 90 days before the visit.
• You are allowed to bring guests, and they will be charged the standard guest fee.
• Tournament participation is unavailable.
• Seasonal members may play unlimited as a guest of a full member during the months not included in this program.
Please review the club calendars attached to this email so that you can reference our closures, aerifications, and events schedules.
Seasonal members will also have access to these privileges: We are excited to share that we are in the early stages of adding new amenities to Chechessee Creek Club. In the near future, you will be able to enhance your game and take it to a new level with The Golf Performance Center at Chechessee. The performance center will combine the charm, style, and comfort of Chechessee with the latest in cutting-edge golf technology. Additionally, Chechessee Creek Club members will soon enjoy the addition of a new short course that simplifies the game for beginners and allows more experienced players to fine-tune their skills.
Please note that seasonal members do not have access or membership privileges to the club, golf course, practice areas, dining, and accommodations in the months of March, April, May, October, and November. You are allowed to come as the guests of a full member in these months. The full member must make all reservations, tee times, arrangements, etc., and all charges will be billed to the full member, not your seasonal member account.
You will remain a seasonal member until full membership is offered. Once you convert from seasonal to full membership, any unused, prorated dues will be credited. The balance of dues owed and full initiation payment will be due within two weeks of accepting full membership. Initiation and dues fees are reviewed annually by the club and may be different rates from when you join as a seasonal member to when you convert to a full member. Once a full membership becomes available, you will immediately transition to a fully active member and enjoy full club privileges and additional benefits.
If you opt to become a seasonal member, you cannot defer full membership to a later date once it is offered to you. If you choose not to accept a full membership when it becomes available, your seasonal membership will be canceled, you will be removed from future membership opportunities, and the balance of your paid dues will be refunded.
How do I accept a Seasonal Membership?
The next available date to activate a seasonal membership is January 2023 for an annual fee of $5,375.
If you would like to join, please complete pages 1-4 in the membership packet and return them to me along with a check payable to Chechessee Creek Club to the address below. Unfortunately, Chechessee Creek Club does not accept credit cards for membership fees. Once your contact information and check are received, I will send you a welcome packet detailing the benefits of your membership, and you can begin scheduling your first trip to Chechessee as a member of the club.
