As the island's largest gated residential community, it grew through the 1980s and 1990s around two golf clubs — the Country Club of Hilton Head and Bear Creek Golf Club — and the sheltered deepwater access of Skull Creek Marina on the Intracoastal Waterway. The plantation's location near the island's only bridge made it attractive to full-time residents and retirees seeking convenient mainland access. Today the HHPOA maintains 54 miles of leisure trails, five community pools, and extensive natural areas along the marsh. ## Architecture & Housing Stock Hilton Head Plantation is the island's largest gated community by home count, encompassing approximately 4,000 acres on the northern end of Hilton Head Island. Originally developed in phases beginning in the late 1970s, the community includes two golf clubs (the Country Club of Hilton Head and Bear Creek Golf Club), Skull Creek Marina, miles of leisure paths, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and multiple community pools. The location at the north end of the island — closest to the bridge connecting to the mainland — is prized by full-time residents and commuters. Skull Creek borders the community to the north and west, providing direct Intracoastal Waterway access from the marina and many private docks.
