Daniel Island Park is the private, club-centric side of Daniel Island, anchored by the Daniel Island Club’s 36 holes of

championship golf, a resort-style Park Club (pools, fitness, tennis/pickleball), and a walk/bike friendly street grid of custom homes backing to fairways, ponds, and marsh. Golf comprises the Tom Fazio–designed Beresford Creek course and the Rees Jones–designed Ralston Creek course. Daniel Island Park delivers a polished, country-club lifestyle inside Charleston city limits—two championship courses, robust racquet/aquatics, and a true “park once, live daily” setup. It’s not the cheapest address in the metro Charleston SC region, but for buyers who’ll use the amenities and value newer custom craftsmen style homes with attention to details, with strong community programming, it justifies the premium.
