Perhaps the greatest amenity available to residents within Spanish Wells is simply the joy of living there. The community is friendly and interconnected. There is a family atmosphere and a neighborhood quality that you seldom find in a place this gifted.
The Inter Coastal waters that surround the residents in Spanish Wells is an amenity of gigantic proportion and the main reason many residents call this community home. It allows for endless recreation - boating, fishing, shrimping, swimming, watersports, dolphin watching and the most beautiful sunsets on Hilton Head Island. The beautiful, breezy Inter Coastal Waterway is a natural, living visual epic that takes place every single day.
All Spanish Wells residents also enjoy the private community pool and sundeck. Gated and fenced for safety, the pool features ample chaise lounges and a covered cabana with facilities perfect for picnics and birthday parties.

Situated just behind the Spanish Wells Clubhouse, a 100-foot community dock stretches out into the waters of Calibogue Sound. The site of many lazy fishing expeditions and friendly chats, all Spanish Wells residents have use of the community dock during daylight hours.
The physical amenities of the plantation are managed and operated by The Spanish Wells Club and have been perfectly designed to quietly exceed the expectations of residents, members and guests.
There are over 2 miles of quiet roads within the plantation that make for the perfect walking or jogging trail. And if you are up with the birds, you can even walk the golf course!
The large private pool is steps away from the Clubhouse. It has ample deck space and chairs to take in some sun as well as a cabana that provides shade and the perfect place to sit back, enjoy a good book or just watch family and friends having fun.
Spanish Wells also boasts a brand new 100’ deepwater dock over that stretches west, out over the Calibogue. The covered pavilion and floating dock at the end of the boardwalk are perfect for fishing, crabbing, landing a boat or simply watching a spectacular sunset and sipping a cool drink.
The tennis complex is home to four, brand new, Har-tru clay surface courts, which can be lit for night play. The facility also contains a small seating area for spectators to get up close to the action. USPTA Tennis Professional, Mike Caboy, manages the Spanish Wells tennis program.
The 9-hole golf course, originally designed by George Cobb, opened in 1975. The course takes masterful advantage of the natural pitch and roll of the land as it meanders along side ponds and between many of the majestic live Oak trees commonly found on this special property. The golf course plays to a par of 72 at 6,111 yards from the back tees. The forward tees also play to a par of 72 at 5,106 yards. The men's rating is 70.5 with a slope of 124. The ladies' rating is 69.2 with a slope of 118. The practice facilities consist of a regulation putting green, chipping green with practice bunker and the practice range.
In 2005, the course was completely renovated by local golf course architect Clyde Johnston. Chuck Park is the resident PGA golf professional and club manager.
