Visiting Hampton Hall

  • Visiting a resident or member

    Your host arranges it. The gate is staffed, and there’s no drive-through.

  • Golf, dinner or a look around

    Not without a host: the club sells no public tee times or tables.

Hampton Hall is private, and the gate is staffed, so there is no drive-through and no public tee time or table. A visitor comes in as a resident’s or a member’s guest. Directions run from Buckwalter Parkway, and the community sits close to the rest of Bluffton: the Bluffton guide covers Old Town and everything else around it.

Social Membership for Every Household

Every resident of Hampton Hall is a social member of the club. Membership covers the member, the spouse and dependent children under 23, and the social dues are what fund the homeowners association, so the two costs come as one. Social membership includes a limited number of golf rounds a year, six, and full golf is a separate membership. The club’s governing documents set the current dues and fees, and we don’t quote any here, so ask the listing agent for them before you buy. Hampton Hall real estate lists what else to ask.

The Pete Dye Golf Course

Hampton Hall Club golf course

Hampton Hall Club in Bluffton, SC is a private golf club, a short drive from Hilton Head Island, built around a Pete Dye-associated lowcountry layout.

The golf course at the center of the community was designed by Pete Dye. Reviewers praise how well it is kept, its water and sand, and the helpful staff in the pro shop. It is private, so a visitor plays as a member’s guest. The Hampton Hall Club page has the details on the course.

Next Door to Hampton Lake

Hampton Lake, another gated Bluffton community, is next door, and the two are joined by a rear gate. They are different places: Hampton Lake is built around a lake with boats and a swim lagoon, and Hampton Hall around a club. Our Hampton Lake page covers it.

Hampton Hall is a private, gated club community in Bluffton, South Carolina, on about 1,100 acres off Buckwalter Parkway. Its address is 170 Hampton Hall Boulevard, and the community is built around a golf course designed by Pete Dye and the clubhouse and lake beside it.

The club and the neighborhood go together, as they do at Berkeley Hall or Colleton River, but with a difference: membership here is social first. Everyone who lives in Hampton Hall is a social member of the club, and golf is a separate choice.

What reviewers say

Golfers who have played it, as members' guests or in a tournament, call it the best-conditioned course they have played in the Lowcountry: a Pete Dye design where every hole is different, with plenty of water and sand and the feel of a walk through a manicured park, kept in excellent shape even right after the greens were aerated. The staff come up as often as the course: the pro shop and clubhouse team are described as helpful, courteous and flexible, including with tee times and rental clubs.
