It's always beautiful on Daufuskie Island and throughout the Lowcountry, but for so many local residents and visitors, April is truly the most wonderful time of the year! It's the month where Hilton Head Island's world-class golf is showcased to the world, as the 47th Annual RBC Heritage, South Carolina's only PGA Tour event, kicks off a week of excitement for all beginning on April 11th.

If you are a Haig Point member and attending the Heritage is on your agenda, the water taxi will make complimentary runs every hour to Harbour Town for the duration of the tournament, April 14 – 17. Additionally, Haig Point will have its hospitality ferry docked at Harbour Town waiting for you when your feet get tired and you need a cold beverage. To read more about how Haig Point celebrates Heritage, and other club related news and special events, check out the April issue of the Haig Point Happenings Newsletter.
While Haig Point celebrates its 30th year, the Heritage celebrates its 47th. The first dates were November 27-30, 1969, Thanksgiving Weekend, and innovative Sea Pines designer Charles Fraser gave the first tournament on the newly created Harbour Town Golf Links a traditional twist by calling it the "Heritage Classic".
Back then, nearly everyone had to reach for a map to discover Hilton Head’s whereabouts. Would anyone show up on Thanksgiving Weekend, especially to a remote, unknown spot? And would the world’s top golfers want to be challenged by a new, unfamiliar course?

Then, good fortune smiled on the Harbour Town Golf Links when Palmer went on to win that initial Heritage, his first victory in 14 months, and the media did the rest by cranking out volume of glowing copy about Arnold’s victory, Dye's superb, new links course as well as Hilton Head Island...

County Council Approves Scaled-Back Version of Bloody Pt Plan
|

Concerns from Beaufort County Council over the scale of a plan to redevelop the Bloody Point golf course on Daufuskie appear to have been settled.
Council gave unanimous, preliminary approval Monday to the proposal to transform the 180-acre course into a mixed-use hospitality and residential district, with one more revision: The number of residential units was scaled back from 150 to 125.
Golf course owner Brian McCarthy and Mark Baker, president of architecture firm Wood and Partners, which is assisting McCarthy on the project, had downsized their original request from a 120-room to a 60-room inn and from 50,000 to 25,000 square feet of commercial space.
