Island West is a gated golf community in Bluffton, South Carolina, set along Highway 278 just minutes from the bridges to Hilton Head Island. Its single-family homes, built mostly between 2000 and 2016, range from roughly 1,700 to 3,600 square feet and wrap around Island West Golf Club, a public 18-hole course designed by Fuzzy Zoeller and Clyde Johnston, so golf membership is never required. Residents share a clubhouse, community pool, fitness center, three pickleball courts, a tennis court, a basketball court, a playground, a picnic area and leisure trails.

Island West offers one of the most approachable ways to enjoy golf-course living in the Lowcountry. Streets with island-inspired names like St. Simons Drive, Sapelo Island Lane and Yonges Island Drive wind past fairways, lagoons and stands of live oak, and many homesites enjoy golf, water or wooded views.
The heart of the community is Island West Golf Club, a par-72 layout that plays to about 6,800 yards from the back tees and was shaped around the area's natural marshland. Because the course is open to the public, residents can play as much or as little as they like, with no mandatory club membership attached to the home.
Beyond golf, residents enjoy a clubhouse, community pool and fitness center, three pickleball courts, a tennis court and a basketball court, plus a playground, a picnic area and leisure trails that wind through the neighborhood.




Homes are spacious single-family residences, many with four or five bedrooms, so buyers often find more square footage per dollar here than in Bluffton's private club communities, and Hilton Head Island's beaches, dining and shopping are an easy drive across the bridges.
