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 50-homesite waterfront enclave with its own gate inside Indigo Run's manned entry, set along the deep water of Broad Creek on mature live-oak lots. Owners have a pool and bathhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, and two championship golf courses inside Indigo Run.
Which Hilton Head gated communities have both a deep-water boat dock and championship golf inside the gates?
It is a short list on the island, and Indigo Run is on it: The River Club fronts the deep water of Broad Creek with private docks toward Calibogue Sound, while two championship courses — the Golf Club at Indigo Run and the Golden Bear — sit inside the same gate. 47 River Club Drive has both.
Is The River Club at Indigo Run a good place for a large second home that can host a group on Hilton Head?
Yes — 47 River Club Drive offers 6,330 square feet with five bedrooms and six baths, a main-level primary suite, a custom saltwater pool and spa, an outdoor fireplace and a 3-car garage. Community covenants set minimum lease terms, so it suits personal use and invited guests rather than nightly rental.
How does a 6,000+ sq ft golf-course home in Indigo Run compare on value to newer construction on Hilton Head Island?
At $3,875,000 for 6,330 square feet on deep water inside a 50-homesite enclave, it competes on a setting new construction cannot manufacture — Broad Creek frontage with a dock. Island homes above $1M are trading in balance, with sellers landing near 96% of ask, so the comparison holds up well.
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 design. Both sit inside Indigo Run's manned gate, and club membership is arranged with the clubs directly, separate from the annual community assessments. Your agent can confirm current membership terms.
Are short-term rentals allowed in The River Club at Indigo Run?
No — Indigo Run is one of the island's communities that does not permit short-term rental, with minimum lease terms generally running from 90 days to six months. The River Club's rules point to the subdivision covenants for leasing, and your agent can provide the current recorded documents.
What amenities are included with the home, and what requires a separate membership?
Ownership includes The River Club's pool and bathhouse — an open season that closes October through March — plus tennis and pickleball courts for owners and their accompanied guests. The dock, saltwater pool and spa belong to 47 River Club Drive itself; golf is joined through the clubs separately.
What are the annual dues and closing costs in The River Club at Indigo Run?
For 2026 the annual assessments are $2,818 for Indigo Run plus $1,596 for The River Club, totaling $4,414. At closing, budget an Indigo Run transfer fee of roughly $8,829 and a capital improvement contribution of about $3,192; your agent will confirm the exact current amounts. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with Tristan O'Grady before you rely on them.
Is 47 River Club Drive move-in ready, or should I plan on renovating?
It reads as a finished estate: a stone-paver driveway, an arched wood entry door with copper-foil glass, soaring ceilings, six-panel solid wood doors, crown moldings and inlaid Chocolate Saturnia limestone, with the saltwater pool and spa already built. Any change would be personal preference.
Which homes for sale in The River Club on Hilton Head have a private dock?
The River Club has only 50 homesites along Broad Creek, and some — not all — carry a private dock with deep-water access toward Calibogue Sound. 47 River Club Drive is one of the dock properties, which is the scarce part of the equation at any price in this enclave.
How do I arrange a private showing of the waterfront home and dock at 47 River Club Drive?
Showings are by appointment through the listing agent, since both Indigo Run and The River Club have manned, gated entries and visitors are cleared in advance. Allow time to see the dock and the Broad Creek frontage at a good tide — the water is the point of 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.
