Wexford Plantation 

Wexford Plantation opened in 1982, is 525 acres of golf and residences located on the south end of Hilton Head Island. Marathon Oil built Wexford using the Governor’s Mansion in Williamsburg, The Congressional Club in Washington, and the Cloisters in Sea Island as influences.  Evidence of the grandiose intent lies in the Georgian marble entrance foyer and the Tiffany glass skylights inside the multi-million dollar clubhouse.  All the street signs are lettered in 24-carat gold, the street lamps are copper domed and the hand-laid intricate stone bridges are indicative of the elaborate nature of Wexford.

Unique to Wexford is the 37.5 acre harbour on Broad Creek containing 130 slips for resident use, not to mention the boat slips adjacent to estate homes for private docking.  The tide-free lock system provides access to Broad Creek 24/7.  This one-of-a-kind system offers almost four miles of concrete partition and keeps the harbour at least 8 feet deep at all times to ensure the security of the enclosed boats.  Each boat may be up to 70 feet long with up to 19 foot beams.  One of these lots, if available, may be acquired at the marina where a full-time staff works ‘round the clock to ensure entry or exit from the lock system takes no more than 10 minutes. 

Boating isn’t the only thing to do at Wexford.  The 18-hole private golf course, designed by Willard Byrd, is the annual qualifying site for the PGA Tour’s Heritage Classic, which is held in Sea Pines Plantation.  On average, less than 50 rounds are played per day, and a head Pro with 3 assistant pros are available for service.  Members and children under 21 play for free, but watch out for the 72 sand traps.  Wexford is not only a private course, but a creative one.

If tennis is your game, Wexford has 6 clay Har-Tru courts, 2 lighted that have views of the harbour and/or golf course.  A Head Pro and Asst. Pro are on site to help offering group or private lessons.
