Bluffton, South Carolina – The Belfair Charitable Fund recently donated $155,600 to 17 local Bluffton-area non-profits and charity organizations.

“The Belfair Charitable Fund helps to give Belfair a stronger sense of community involvement by providing a platform to distribute charitable giving to our local neighbors in need. Our Belfair members generously “Give Where You Live”, and together we are making a difference in the lives of others,” said Belfair Charitable Fun Chair, Meg Woodruff.
Belfair features two championship golf courses designed by Tom Fazio that exemplify Lowcountry beauty. The West Course opened in 1996 with Links Magazine proclaiming it “…the finest set of golf holes in the Lowcountry, if not on the East Coast.” The par-72 West Course will host play during all four rounds of the PGA Professional Championship and plays to 7,111 yards from the championship tees. Belfair’s East Course opened in 1999 and is reminiscent of the links courses of Scotland while showcasing the area’s deep-water views, fresh water lakes and lagoons. The par-71 layout measures 6,900 yards from the championship tees. Golfweek Magazine ranks both courses among the “Best Residential Courses” in the United States in their 2018 ranking.
Belfair is managed by Troon Privé, the private club operating division of Troon. For more information on Belfair, visit www.belfair1811.com or call (843) 757-0701.
