Pawleys Area's Best "Low-Brow" Restaurants featured in Nat Geo Traveler!

I'm always so quick to recommend the obviously fabulous"high-brow" Pawleys Island and Georgetown restaurants to my clients, like Frank's, Bistro, and The Rice Paddy. So I was delighted when I read the recommendations made by National Geographic Traveler's creative director, Jerry Sealy, when he visited the Pawleys Island area recently.

Topping his list of the best places to find great Low Country food at dirt cheap prices, is Hog Heaven, one of my husband's favorites, on the south end of Pawleys Island, about a mile or so north of DeBordieu's gate.  My favorite breakfast spot, Litchfield Restaurant  made it to Mr. Sealy's list, as did the "the Tuna," in Georgetown.

Kiawah's Ocean Course & DeBordieu

With all eyes on Kiawah for this week's PGA Championship Golf Tournament, I thought it might be fun to compare the Ocean Course with DeBordieu Club's private course. Both are Pete Dye courses, and both are absolutely gorgeous. I invited DeBordieu's Head Golf Professional, Shawn Roper, to make the comparison.

"Comparing the similarities of the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island SC and the DeBordieu Club in Georgetown SC is a relatively easy task. The Pete Dye (Kiawah) and the Pete & P.B. Dye (DeBordieu) designs share a number of similarities.
Both were designed in the mid to late eighties in coastal developments in South Carolina. The layouts are both links designs with elements like waste areas, pot bunkers, dune like hills and an abundance of water. Both layouts share wide forgiving fairways, small protected greens, and ever present winds that alter the playing environment on a day to day basis. One of the obvious visual similarities is the railroad ties and bulk heads that have become a staple in Dye’s championship venues. Obviously, the Ocean Course was designed to be a test to the highest level of golfers, with the course stretching out over 7,800 yards and with its proximity to the ocean golfers are subject to more penalizing playing conditions. DeBordieu, more of a subtle test, still challenges most at over 7,200 yards from the Back Tees, while guiding you through and abundance of oaks, pines and ever present wildlife."
Thanks Shawn!

DeBordieu Club is excited to announce that it now features the PGA Family Course.

Lot 6, View of 6th tee, $199,000

The PGA Family Course Program enables DeBordieu Club to turn the regulation golf course into a "short course" experience through the use of PGA Family Tee Markers. The Family Course Tee Markers are set at yardages that allow golfers to reach greens in regulation, shoot lower scores, play in less time and most importantly, have fun.

Lot 10, View of #9, $299,000

"The traditional golf course setup is not conducive to families enjoying the game together, because most regulation golf holes are far too long for kids and beginners, " said Dan Van Horn, Founder and CEO of U.S. Kids Golf. "We're delighted that DeBordieu Club has adopted the Family Course Program to make the golf experience more inviting for the whole family."

Lot 291, View of #10, $298,000

The introduction of shorter, family-friendly courses coincides with Play Golf America's Family Golf Month and Get Golf Ready initiatives, both of which are designed to make the transition into the game easy for golfers of all ages.

DeBordieu Club becomes one of more than 1,400 golf courses nationwide that have installed the PGA Family Course.

Please tryout the DeBordieu Family Courses. Scorecards are located in the golf shop and are in the starter building. The wooded tee markers have been removed and replaced with the markers shown above. The tee markers are in the fairway adjacent to the course indicator marker on the cart paths.

DeBordieu HOT Deal of the Week!

Heads UP Nature Lovers!

This 4BR, 4.5 bath Lowcountry Home is located on almost an acre lot adjacent to DeBordieu’s nature preserve that backs up to Hobcaw Barony’s 17,000 acres of land that’s been put in a trust for education and research. (Nice neighbors!)

Solid ICF construction, reinforced with ribar, offers the beauty of a stucco look, with the stability, comfort, low maintenance and low energy bills of concrete.

The first floor of this 3490 htd. sq. ft. home offers a beautiful Foyer, Dining area, Kitchen with Wall oven, Granite Countertops, & wet bar with icemaker, Family room, Master suite, Laundry room, Powder room, and spacious Screened Porch. 

Upstairs offers two bedroom suites, each with their own bath, built-in shelves, and window seats, separated by a den. 

Over the 3 car garage is the spacious 4th bedroom suite with its own bath. The pickled cypress walls in the main living areas give this charming home a rustic, beach cottage quality. 

One other thing I really like about this house, is that the driveway is hidden from the street, so you could keep your boat parked back there and the ARB would never know…. Unless, of course, they read my blog. Which they don’t. At least I don’t think they do…….(oops).

August 7 is National Lighthouse Day!

“It was on this day in 1789, that Congress approved an Act for the establishment and support of lighthouse, beacons, buoys and public piers. In Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the signing of the Act and the commissioning of the first Federal lighthouse, Congress passed a resolution which designated August 7, 1989 as National Lighthouse Day.”

Among the many area attractions for DeBordieu owners and their guests is a boat trip to the Georgetown Lighthouse. Whether you launch your boat from the DeBordieu Community Boat Landing, or choose to take a ride on the Carolina Rover, it’s a memorable trip that I highly recommend.
