The Experience

The things that make Secession so special to me are the most basic. We celebrate the fact that golf is a walking game, we enjoy each others’ company the first time we meet and for years afterward, and, most importantly, our staff makes guests feel like members and members feel like family.

The ‘Lowcountry’ style clubhouse

...completed in 1996, emphasizes elegant simplicity with a mind towards the needs of a “national golf club,” not a country club. The design resulted from visits to many fine, established golf clubs recommended by members as examples of outstanding design and service concepts. The sleeping rooms on the second level provide a warm and convivial atmosphere for overnight members, while almost 6000 square feet of wrap-around porches provide majestic views of the course and surrounding wetlands…a protected environment with abundant wildlife indigenous to the area.

Facing the sunset over Port Royal Sound, on the western side of the island out of sight from the golf course, is a large Members Grounds area with member-owned cottages that are available for rent to other members as well as a few private homes owned by our members. The rental units are designed for comfort and informality in keeping with the Lowcountry experience of Secession.
