The story of Long Cove Club begins as graciously as the sweeping salt marsh and lagoons it overlooks, and the 630 acres of sentinel pine and live oak forest that surrounds it.
On this canvas of marsh and lagoons, golf course architect and artist Pete Dye worked a masterpiece. Water melds with sky, earth with trees in a palette of fairways and greens offering a golf experience unlike any other.
Members here think in terms of glowing sunsets over golden marsh, sport as a passion and friends and neighbors as part of a circle they have managed to politely draw between themselves and the rest of the world.
A day at Long Cove begins with hot coffee and warm biscuits on the patio. It ends with a door left open in the evening for guests soon to arrive. It is bridged by friends, neighbors, children, grandchildren and all the activity you could hope for or all the solitude you could want.
