Questions
Frequently asked
What is it like to own a home in The River Club at Indigo Run on Hilton Head Island?
The River Club is a gated enclave of just 50 homesites along deep-water Broad Creek within Indigo Run on Hilton Head's north end. Ownership means a private pool, tennis and pickleball, mature live-oak lots, and two championship golf courses within the wider Indigo Run community — a quiet, established, low-density setting.
Which Hilton Head gated communities have both a deep-water boat dock and championship golf inside the gates?
Indigo Run is one — its River Club homesites line deep-water Broad Creek with dock access toward Calibogue Sound, and its gates hold two championship courses: the Golf Club at Indigo Run and the Jack Nicklaus Golden Bear Golf Club. 47 River Club Drive sits within it.
Is The River Club at Indigo Run a good place for a large second home that can host a group on Hilton Head?
Yes — at 6,330 square feet with five bedrooms, six baths, a main-level primary suite, a custom saltwater pool and spa, and an outdoor fireplace, 47 River Club Drive is built to host. The gated, low-density enclave and deep-water setting make it a natural fit for a substantial second home.
How does a 6,000+ sq ft golf-course home in Indigo Run compare on value to newer construction on Hilton Head Island?
At $3,999,000, 47 River Club Drive delivers 6,330 square feet of custom construction on deep-water Broad Creek — scale and a private waterfront setting that newer inland builds rarely offer at this size. Deep-water homesites in a 50-home gated enclave are finite, which underpins long-term value.
What golf courses are inside the gates at Indigo Run, Hilton Head?
Two championship courses: the Golf Club at Indigo Run and the Golden Bear Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus 'Golden Bear' design. Both sit inside the manned-gate community, alongside lagoon-laced nature trails.
Are short-term rentals allowed in The River Club at Indigo Run?
No — Indigo Run does not permit short-term rentals; it enforces longer minimum lease terms (generally 90 days to six months), with the River Club's own covenants governing leasing. It's a primary- or second-home community, not a vacation-rental one; your agent can confirm the current CC&R terms.
Is golf and dock access included with the home, or does it require a separate membership?
Ownership includes River Club's private amenities — pool, tennis, and pickleball — plus Indigo Run's gated grounds and trails. The two championship golf courses are joined by separate club membership, while the home's deep-water setting offers dock access. Your agent can confirm exactly what conveys.
Is 47 River Club Drive move-in ready, or will it need updating?
It's a custom-built 2004 estate with lasting craftsmanship — stone-paver drive, arched copper-foil-glass entry, soaring ceilings, solid-wood doors, crown moldings, and inlaid Chocolate Saturnia limestone. It lives as a turn-key luxury home; your agent can review any updates you'd want to make it your own.
What are the HOA fees for owning in The River Club at Indigo Run?
For 2026, annual dues run $4,414 total — Indigo Run $2,818 plus River Club $1,596 — covering the manned gated entry, private amenities, and common-area upkeep. A one-time transfer and capital contribution apply at closing; your agent can confirm current figures. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with Tristan O'Grady before you rely on them.
Does 47 River Club Drive have a private deep-water dock?
The home sits on deep-water Broad Creek with direct access toward Calibogue Sound and the Atlantic, and a dock is among its listed features — River Club homesites are known for private deep-water docks. Your agent can confirm the exact dock specifications for this property.
Is River Club at Indigo Run a good community for a turn-key second home on Hilton Head Island?
River Club at Indigo Run suits a turn-key second home well — this home at 47 River Club Drive pairs a private deep-water dock and dock house with a main-level primary suite across 6,330 square feet. The guarded, gated community also offers a clubhouse, fitness center, pool, pickleball, and walking trails for easy lock-and-leave living. Tristan O'Grady (843-301-3333) can walk you through what makes this particular home turn-key ready.
Is short-term rental allowed in River Club / Indigo Run, or is it primary-residence and long-term lease only?
Rental rules for River Club at Indigo Run are set by the community's HOA and can change, so they should be confirmed directly rather than assumed. This home at 47 River Club Drive sits on a quarter- to half-acre homesite behind the guarded entry, worth knowing regardless of how you plan to use it. For the current rental restrictions, call Tristan O'Grady at 843-301-3333.
