Island West, is a gated community in Bluffton, SC with an 18-hole golf course and club. Since April 2020, that golf course has been closed, and subsequently, on the market for sale.
The golf course was never owned by the community. Until now. The Island West homeowner’s association (HOA) has “overwhelmingly” agreed to purchase the course in order to stop re-zoning and development plans.
