Thinking About Living in Moss Creek Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Moss Creek Golf Club and the surrounding Hilton Head Island golf market.
Moss Creek is a gated boating, golf, and equestrian community at the gateway between Bluffton and Hilton Head Island, built around two Fazio-designed courses locally described as 'the Lowcountry's best-kept secret.' Its membership structure centers on a property-owner Membership Certificate Fee rather than a conventional open-application initiation process.
Golf & Course
Devil's Elbow North (1976) and Devil's Elbow South (1974) were designed by the uncle-nephew Fazio team of George and Tom Fazio.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Property owners pay a one-time $45,000 Membership Certificate Fee, distinct from a standard club initiation fee, suggesting a quasi-mandatory ownership-linked structure (though this session could not fully confirm whether it is strictly mandatory for all owners). A separate $6,000 non-refundable Golf Special Membership exists for non-owners, and a general Full Golf Membership tier is also referenced by third-party aggregators with a $25,001-$50,000 range -- these three figures were not reconciled into one clear structure this session.

Moss Creek combines boating (marina access), golf, and equestrian facilities in one gated community governed by the Moss Creek Owners Association.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Boating and equestrian amenities alongside golf give Moss Creek a broader recreational identity than a golf-only club.
Location & Surrounding Area
Straddles the Bluffton-Hilton Head Island border at the island's gateway, off US-278.
Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old fee a current one.
Golf membership initiation
Historical$45,000
Described as a one-time 'Membership Certificate Fee' for property owners, distinct from the $25,001-$50,000 range reported for general full golf membership by a separate aggregator, and from the $6,000 non-refundable Golf Special Membership fee for non-owners. These appear to be three different membership pathways; confirm current structure directly with Moss Creek.
