Several top executives of Sea Pines Company, Wes Wilhelm, Joe Webster, and David Aimes, went out on and purchased what is currently Long Cove. The exclusive resident, with no villas or condos, only concept was a huge success and Long Cove was a tremendous success story for residential development. The Pete Dye golf course immediately got rave reviews among the golfing community and has since been a highly ranked golf course. The home sites have a range of settings from golf and lagoon, wooded, marsh or gorgeous views of Broad Creek. The resident’s only golfing community was a new concept for residential developments at the time. In 1987 and the common properties, including all amenities, were deeded to the Long Cove Association. Membership is available only through property ownership, and rights are transferred through the transfer of property. Fees are based on whether the lot is improved or unimproved and includes Long Cove Country Club membership. Long Cove Club was designed around a unique "club" concept rather than the traditional structure of other residential plantations on Hilton Head. Membership in the club is automatic with each property purchase. All members must pay the same assessment covering use of all of the amenities regardless of property values or residency status.
