Choose Your Ideal Saturday Itinerary

Option One: A Day Outdoors
You wake up early (like the early bird you are) to spend some time in the community garden. When you’re ready to rest your green thumb, you head over to the Equestrian Center to go horseback riding. Your next stop is the River Club to enjoy lunch with a panoramic view of the Okatie River. To conclude your itinerary, you stop by the beehives to admire nature at work.

Option Two: Abounding Activities
Your day starts with perfecting your golf swing at the practice center. Next up, you hop over to the courts for a pickleball match—or three. Time always flies when you’re enjoying your favorite activities, and suddenly you realize that sunset is approaching. You end the day by grabbing dinner with neighbors without ever leaving the comfort of your own neighborhood.

Option Three: Leisurely Living
You kick off the morning with one of your favorite activities: kayaking on the river. The beauty and tranquility of the marsh sets the tone for your Saturday. Next, you head over to your weekly interest club meet-up—a literary discussion with familiar neighbors and a few new faces. You end the day on the community dock, watching the sunset.

Option Four: Art & Luxury
You greet the day with a cup of coffee in hand, then head over to a watercolor workshop hosted by the community’s artist in residence. After hanging up your palette, you decide to grab a bite to eat at your favorite farm-to-table restaurant. Your afternoon plans include launching your boat from the community’s private dock for a little afternoon dolphin watching. To finish the day, you head to the game room for billiards and bowling with your family.

Option Three: Does a relaxed pace of life call your name? You’ll want to check out Colleton River, named one of the top 150 Country Clubs by Platinum Clubs of America. The wide array of activities in this community make for leisurely days, both indoors and outdoors. Colleton River is home to two golf courses – one designed by Jack Nicklaus and the other by Pete Dye. The golf course amenities include two clubhouses, a learning center, and a driving range.
