Amid the towering pines and canopy like live oaks, the stately Clubhouse stands on a knoll at the end of a magnolia and azalea-lined drive. Inside, members enjoy a fine-dining facility, grille, locker rooms, lounge, and cards rooms, along with a well-equipped and expertly-staffed pro shop. From the terraces and covered verandas of the Clubhouse, one has a magnificent panoramic view of the 18th green, the first tee and fairway and the treacherous dog-legged 9th hole & green.

Although the name of the game at Long Cove is “golf”, members are offered a great deal more in the way of recreational amenities. Tennis players choose any of ten expertly maintained Har-Tru courts and the swimmer or sun-worshipper takes advantage of the popular azure-blue Olympic-sized pool.

Broad Creek, which leads to beautiful Calibogue Sound & the US Inter-coastal Waterway, forms the northern boundary of Long Cove. It also provides a magnificent site for the community’s boating facility which offers members their choice of 74 boat slips. There’s a good chance that you’ll catch a sea trout, spot-tailed bass or other samples of salt-water fish from the docks. The crabbing isn’t bad, either. If you prefer fresh-water angling, the many lagoons of Long Cove offer a plentiful supply of large-mouth bass & bream.
 

There are several part-time “farmers” at the Club who enjoy harvesting the results of their soil-tilling labors at the community farm plots. Anyone who desires to try their green thumb is welcome to do so.  When one speaks of Long Cove, the words describe a way of life that is quiet, yet active...an atmosphere of good taste & simple elegance.

Just when you thought that the golfing experience couldn’t get any better,  Pete Dye returned in 2001 to oversee the $1.6 million facelift project, which included new Tifeagle greens, renovations or revision to 14 bunkers, a new sprinkler system & several new tees that stretch the total yardage to 7,026.
 

South-centrally located, Long Cove consists of 573 full-sized home sites on 600 acres. Currently, there are approximately 430 homes. Lots range in size from .4 to .9 acres. Founded in 1980, the plantation sold out in only 7 short years.

All property purchases include membership to the Club and only property owners may join. The annual POA fee of $6,349 covers the 24-hour manned security entrance gate, maintenance of the common grounds & lagoons, free boat slip up to 35’, tennis courts, swimming pool & clubhouse facilities. The fee also covers green fees for the family, including dependent children who are between the ages of 18 & 23 and are pursuing an academic degree on a full-time basis. The POA fee is billed in two installments, January and June.  There is a property membership transfer fee of $5,000 for a lot and $10,000 for a home.
