Belfair Homes

Bluffton’s Premier Private Golf Community

Located just minutes from Hilton Head Island, Belfair is one of Bluffton’s most prestigious gated private golf communities. Known for its two Tom Fazio-designed championship courses, refined architectural standards, and expansive Lowcountry landscapes, Belfair offers a level of exclusivity that appeals to discerning luxury buyers.

 

Belfair real estate is defined by estate homes, golf cottages, and marsh-view properties set among ancient live oaks and meticulously preserved natural surroundings.

 

Ownership here is not simply about property — it is about lifestyle, membership, and long-term value stability within one of the Southeast’s most respected private clubs.

The Belfair Golf Experience

At the heart of Belfair are two championship 18-hole courses designed by Tom Fazio:

West Course

A classic parkland-style layout with rolling fairways, mature landscaping, and strategic design.

East Course

A more open, links-inspired experience that incorporates Lowcountry marsh and native grasses.

Supporting the courses is a 29-acre golf learning center featuring:

  • Driving ranges
  • Multiple putting greens
  • Short-game practice areas
  • Professional instruction facilities

 

Golf membership is mandatory with property ownership.
