Charleston South Carolina Resort Communities and Their Golf Courses

Let’s begin by defining a Charleston SC Resort Golfing community. A resort community, sometimes called a resort city or resort destination, is a town or area where tourism or vacationing is a primary component of the local culture and economy. Typically, the economy of a resort community is geared almost entirely towards catering to tourists. The typical Charleston resort communities has nice beaches, oceanfront luxury homes, shops and luxury boutiques selling locally-themed souvenirs, motels, world class golf courses, tennis courts, and unique restaurants within their boundaries. I believe there are four resort golfing communities in the greater Charleston SC area meeting these criteria; they are Kiawah Island, Seabrook Island, Daniel Island, and Wild Dunes.
