It’s been a year since Palmetto Bluff was acquired by South Street Partners, the largest owner and operator of private club residential and resort communities in the Southeast. And what a year it’s been.
This picturesque community has been infused with a new vitality. Recognizing the growing demands for community enhancements at all levels, South Street Partners has expanded programming, introduced new amenities at both the Club and resort and reimagined existing spaces—while still respecting the 20,000 acres of pristine land surrounding it.
Starting with the grand opening of Flame Food Truck in May, the community has seen a record number of Club enhancements over the past few months:
Golf: May River Golf Course updates & additions
Major re-sodding projects: #1 fairway, #3 fairway & oak tree, #4 fairway & rough
Creation of event lawn behind the Clubhouse
Member golf cart parking area
New practice facility furniture
New tee markers and divot boxes
Regrassing and leveling of several tee boxes
Tree work (with input from Jay Walea from the Palmetto Bluff Conservancy)
Underbrush and overgrowth clearing
Sporting Life: Shooting Club, Longfield Stables & Wilson Lawn & Racquet Club

Longfield Stables: major irrigation upgrades for horse paddocks, barn irrigation and landscaping upgrades, bridle path refurbishment, new fencing, automatic paddock water fountains, repairs to wash racks, tree work and landscaping cleanup, new jumps, and more
Wilson Lawn and Racquet Club: the tennis area will be updated with a revitalization of the shade structures as well as new paint, new fans, roof repairs, and furniture refinishing/reupholstery

Club Updates

It’s a culture that nurtures a sense of belonging and connectivity among members—many who come from all points of the globe to live the best of the Lowcountry.
