Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening or hosting a neighborhood cookout, the backyard at 681 Reserve Drive is designed for both.

Inside, this all-brick home combines classic architecture with the significant improvements today's buyers hope to find. Of its 5,613 heated square feet, approximately 2,907 are on the main level, allowing the home to live comfortably day to day without needing the upstairs. The primary suite, second bedroom, home office, kitchen, great room, Carolina Room, formal dining room, laundry, and principal living spaces are all downstairs. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms, two full baths, a den, and game room create a separate area for family and guests.

Overview of The Reserve

The Reserve Golf Club of Pawleys Island spans approximately 700 acres of guard-gated Lowcountry landscape, anchored by a Greg Norman-designed course that opened in November 1998. The par-72 layout plays 7,151 yards across 350 acres that include 160 acres of natural wetlands, with Norman's signature sandy waste areas replacing traditional rough. Golf Digest ranked it among the Best New Private Courses upon opening, and it remains strictly private through McConnell Golf, which gives members reciprocal access to a prestigious network of top-ranked courses across four states.

The Reserve combines private golf with private beach access through Litchfield by the Sea, a Harbor Club Marina on the Waccamaw River, and the most diverse selection of luxury property types in any single Pawleys Island community. If you're comparing luxury golf addresses, the only community that rivals The Reserve in scope and exclusivity is DeBordieu Colony in Georgetown, which offers Pete Dye private golf with oceanfront living.

Amenities & Lifestyle at The Reserve

The Reserve's amenity package reflects its position as the area's most exclusive golf address. Residents in Custom Estate Homes enjoy a private course experience that rarely feels crowded, while Villa owners appreciate the proximity to the Harbor Club pool and marina. Key amenities include:

Greg Norman 18-hole private championship course with McConnell Golf reciprocal membership
Private Atlantic beach access through Litchfield by the Sea with oceanfront clubhouse
Harbor Club Marina on the Waccamaw River with boat slips and community pool
Tennis, pickleball, walking trails, and social programming through LBTS

The McConnell Golf membership is a significant draw for serious golfers, providing access to courses across North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. This reciprocal network puts The Reserve in a different category from public-access communities like Pawleys Plantation or Heritage Plantation.

Real Estate in The Reserve

The Reserve offers the widest range of luxury property types in any Pawleys Island golf community: custom single-family homes, Harbor Club and Huntington Mews villas, Lakeside and Cottage Court townhomes, and multi-acre Island Estates with waterfront positions. Average home size is approximately 3,307 square feet, with prices ranging from the mid-$300s for villas to over $1.9 million for estate homes. The average sale price sits around $1.13 million. Golf club membership and marina access require separate fees beyond the HOA assessment.

If The Reserve's price range exceeds your budget, Pawleys Plantation offers gated golf living from the mid-$200s, and River Club delivers golf-and-beach access from a similar starting point. Want help navigating The Reserve? Call (843) 791-0055.

Neighborhoods in The Reserve

The Reserve's 700 acres contain several distinct neighborhoods and property types, each offering a different luxury living experience.

Custom Estate Homes

The custom single-family homes in The Reserve represent the core of the community's residential offering. Typically featuring four to six bedrooms, these homes showcase Lowcountry architecture with raised foundations, expansive porches, tabby and stucco exteriors, and premium interior finishes. Many sit on half-acre to one-acre lots along the Norman fairways or overlooking community lakes and wetlands. Prices for estate homes range from approximately $700,000 to over $1.9 million.

If you're comparing luxury fairway estates across communities, look at the colonial estates at Heritage Plantation or the brick estates at Willbrook Plantation. The Reserve's advantage is the private Greg Norman course and McConnell Golf membership network.

Island Estates

The Island Estates section offers The Reserve's most exclusive addresses: multi-acre waterfront properties with direct water access and maximum privacy. These oversized lots allow for the largest custom builds in the community, with homes featuring private docks, deepwater views, and estate-scale landscaping. Prices in Island Estates can exceed $1.9 million for the most premium positions.

If waterfront estate living is your priority, compare Island Estates with oceanfront properties at DeBordieu Colony, which offers private beach frontage at the ultra-luxury tier. Within The Reserve, the Custom Estate Homes offer a similar scale without the waterfront premium.

Harbor Club & Huntington Mews Villas

The villas in The Reserve provide a more accessible entry into this luxury community. Harbor Club Villas sit near the community pool and marina, while Huntington Mews Villas offer a quieter, more residential setting. Both types typically feature two to three bedrooms, open floor plans, and maintenance-free exteriors. Prices for villas start in the mid-$300s, making them the most affordable properties in The Reserve.

If you like the villa lifestyle but want to compare across communities, Heritage Plantation's patio homes offer a similar concept with marina proximity at comparable pricing. Within The Reserve, the Lakeside Townhomes provide a slightly different layout at a nearby price point.

Lakeside & Cottage Court Townhomes

The townhome options in The Reserve include Lakeside and Cottage Court sections, each offering multi-level living with two to three bedrooms, garages, and scenic settings near community lakes or landscaped courtyards. These homes appeal to buyers who want The Reserve's lifestyle and Greg Norman golf access in a more manageable, lower-maintenance format. Prices typically fall in the $400,000 to $700,000 range.

If townhome living appeals to you but The Reserve's pricing is above your budget, River Club offers attached homes with golf and beach access at lower price points. Within The Reserve, compare townhomes with the villas if single-level living is a preference.

Norman Fairway Homes

Homes along the Greg Norman fairways offer some of the most dramatic views in The Reserve, with Norman's sandy waste area design creating clean sightlines between homes and the course. These three- to five-bedroom properties feature premium lot positions, screened porches facing the course, and Lowcountry design elements. Prices for fairway-front homes generally range from $700,000 to $1.5 million.

If you love fairway views and want to compare course architects, look at homes on the Nicklaus fairways at Pawleys Plantation or the Dan Maples fairways at Willbrook Plantation or Heritage Plantation.

Nearby Schools & Attractions

The Reserve is served by Georgetown County schools including Waccamaw Elementary, Waccamaw Middle, and Waccamaw High School. The community's Litchfield by the Sea beach access provides an oceanfront clubhouse, tennis, and trails. Brookgreen Gardens, Huntington Beach State Park, and the Pawleys Island causeway are all nearby, with Myrtle Beach approximately 25 miles north for additional entertainment, shopping, and dining options.

Ideal for Serious Golfers and Discerning Families

The Reserve attracts affluent buyers who prioritize exclusivity, course quality, and a comprehensive lifestyle package. Serious golfers are drawn to the Greg Norman private course and the McConnell Golf reciprocal network. Families appreciate the guard-gated security, private beach access, and the range of property types from entry-level villas to waterfront estates. Retirees enjoy the low-density, nature-forward setting and the social opportunities through the golf club and Litchfield by the Sea programs.

If The Reserve represents the Lowcountry's premier private golf address, DeBordieu Colony is its ultra-luxury coastal counterpart, offering private Pete Dye golf with oceanfront living. For a more approachable but still upscale golf community, Pawleys Plantation delivers a Nicklaus experience at roughly half the average price point.

Find Your Home in The Reserve

Navigating The Reserve's multiple property types, membership structures, and pricing tiers is best done with a local expert who understands the community inside and out.
