Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is open to Porters Neck Plantation residents and outside applicants alike under Equity or Non-Equity categories -- home purchase in the plantation does not itself confer club access.

Lifestyle & Amenities
Club amenities include a tennis center, swimming pool, and fitness center in addition to the golf course; members also reportedly have reciprocal playing privileges at roughly 200 private courses nationally through a private club network.
