Thinking About Living in The Reserve Golf Club at Litchfield?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands The Reserve Golf Club at Litchfield and the surrounding Pawleys Island / Georgetown County golf market.
The Reserve Golf Club at Litchfield is a private club founded in 1998, owned and operated by McConnell Golf, built around an 18-hole Greg Norman design explicitly laid out with 'no housing intruding on play.' It sits inside The Reserve at Litchfield, a 700-acre gated residential community of more than 400 custom homes and townhomes on the Waccamaw River (part of the Intracoastal Waterway), itself one of the component neighborhoods of the larger Litchfield by the Sea development in Pawleys Island.
Golf & Course
The Greg Norman-designed course is rated by regional golf press as among the top five courses on the Grand Strand. As a McConnell Golf property, members receive reciprocal playing privileges at the network's other private clubs -- as of this session, 15 other clubs across South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia (including Musgrove Mill and Cobblestone in SC, Country Club of Asheville and several Raleigh/Charlotte/Greensboro clubs in NC, Holston Hills in TN, and two clubs in VA).
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is private and application-based, offered in several named tiers (Full Golf, Social, Junior Executive, Family, Single). Membership is not tied to owning property specifically within The Reserve at Litchfield and is not confirmed mandatory for homeowners there. An aggregator-reported near-zero initiation-fee range should be confirmed directly, as it is atypically low compared to peer McConnell Golf clubs.

The Reserve at Litchfield is a 700-acre gated community of 400+ residences (custom homes and townhomes, half-acre to 5+ acre homesites) that also includes a Safe Harbor Marina, 26 ponds, and walking/biking trails, and grants residents private beach access and parking. It is explicitly marketed by Litchfield by the Sea as one of its component neighborhoods, with the private Greg Norman course as its defining amenity.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Beyond golf, in-community amenities include a marina, clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, and private beach access -- residents of The Reserve also share in the broader Litchfield by the Sea amenity set.

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.
Initiation (range low)
Historical$0
Aggregator-reported range ($0-$2,500) likely reflects a low- or no-initiation promotional structure typical of some McConnell Golf clubs; not the club's own published figure and unusually low for a private-club initiation fee -- treat with caution and confirm directly.

What Buyers Should Verify

- Confirm whether any tier of club membership is required for homeownership in The Reserve at Litchfield -- not directly confirmed this session.
- Confirm current McConnell Golf reciprocal network roster, since club membership can change.
- Confirm membership waitlist status and transferability terms -- not found this session.
Notable

- The Reserve at Litchfield is a distinct, explicitly marketed component neighborhood of the larger Litchfield by the Sea development, not a standalone unrelated community.
