Tradition Hilton Head, a 5,300-acre, master-planned, sustainable green community, has joined with the Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority to provide the water utility’s first water reuse service for residential irrigation here.
While BJWSA has been a leader in reusing reclaimed water for irrigation of commercial areas and golf courses, Tradition Hilton Head is its first residential reuse project. BJWSA will supply reclaimed water for all of Tradition Hilton Head’s irrigation needs, including residential lots, common areas, landscaped medians and the community’s 18-hole Tradition National Golf Club.
“We are excited to join with Beaufort-Jasper Water & Sewer Authority in this green and environmentally friendly initiative, which exemplifies Tradition Hilton Head’s efforts and commitment to being sustainable and green,” said Bob Swift, General Manager of Tradition Hilton Head.
“Our parent company, Core Communities, has a long and distinguished history of reclaiming water for irrigation of public green areas and golf courses as a significant way to conserve water,” Swift said. “Tradition Hilton Head reuses not only collected stormwater runoff for irrigation but also water recovered from BJWSA’s treatment plant - water that has been treated to standards that allows safe reuse.
“Essentially, treated water from BJWSA will supplement the stormwater runoff we collect at Tradition Hilton Head,” he said, noting that reclaimed rainwater is used for irrigating residential lots, public green spaces and Tradition National Golf Club, in addition to keeping lakes and lagoons filled.
The Tradition irrigation system is not only a BJWSA first, but the first system of its type in South Carolina, according to BJWSA. In the hot, humid Lowcountry climate, irrigation causes a huge increase in water usage during the summer months, and water reuse for residential irrigation is a significant step forward in using an alternative water source and reducing the peak demand on our drinking water system, BJWSA officials said.
For many years, BJWSA has been providing treated wastewater to golf courses for much needed irrigation — a win-win solution for this water-hungry industry. BJWSA serves 12 golf courses overall.

Tradition Hilton Head Holiday Home Tour Brings in Large Donation for Deep Well and Bluffton Self Help
A Holiday Home Tour at Tradition Hilton Head on November 22 brought in a crowd of more than 500, with each visitor bringing a minimum donation benefiting local charities Deep Well and Bluffton Self Help.
Tradition Hilton Head invited participants to bring at least one non-perishable food item and tour homes from several of the area’s most respected builders. Complimentary golf clinics were offered and guests were registered to win a year’s membership to Tradition National Golf Club.
“The Sales Center was overflowing with donations,” said Tradition General Manager, Bob Swift. “We saw this as an opportunity to invite people to see what Tradition Hilton Head is all about while benefiting two worthy, local organizations. We were thrilled with the turnout and community response.”
Deep Well Board Member, Hank Noble, said “I can’t tell you how much we appreciate Tradition Hilton Head and its awareness of the community’s needs. It’s remarkable how the need for food has increased so dramatically in this year alone and we appreciate Tradition’s willingness to make a difference and host events like this that reach out and help the community.”
A second Holiday Home Tour is scheduled for December 13 with non-perishable items again benefitting Deep Well and Bluffton Self Help. For more information on Tradition Hilton Head or the upcoming Holiday Home Tour, call 843-208-5333 or visit www.TraditionHH.com.
Tradition Hilton Head Residents Receive ‘Insider Access’ to Renowned PGA Village
Purchasers of homes in Tradition Hilton Head, the 5,300-acre, master-planned, sustainable community here, will receive preferred membership access to the world-renowned PGA Village in Port St. Lucie, Fla., at preferred member prices.
Tradition Hilton Head General Manager Bob Swift said his community’s property owners will be able to play all three courses at PGA Golf Club, each rated “excellent” in the Zagat Guide listings of “America’s Top Golf Courses,” plus the Jim Fazio-designed championship course at PGA Country Club. He said they will also have privileges for lessons at the PGA Learning Center – the only 5-Star rated learning facility in the world.
Swift explained that the privileges have been arranged because Tradition Hilton Head’s sister community Tradition Florida has an on-going affiliation with PGA Village. “You might say it’s another great perk of ownership at Tradition Hilton Head,” said Swift. “Our property owners can travel to Florida for a little golf vacation and use PGA Village as their home base!”
Other benefits include having year-round complimentary access to the PGA Country Club’s other amenities, including dining and the tennis and swimming complex. Golf Digest recently named PGA Village among the “75 best golf resorts in North America”. Both Tradition Florida and PGA Village are located in Port St. Lucie.
“For golf enthusiasts looking for an ideal place to settle down, this opportunity is really special,” said Swift. “Not only do they have an outstanding course of their own, in one of America’s premier golf destinations, the Lowcountry of South Carolina, but they can also participate in these remarkable Florida facilities.
Tradition Hilton Head is home to an outstanding new championship course -- Tradition National Golf Club, which is a Tommy Fazio design that has already hosted the first-ever college golf combine sponsored by Under Armour and the Honors Cup Pro-Am Tournament. Tradition Hilton Head also boasts a Par-3 course plus a 26-acre learning and practice facility.
Launched in 2007, Tradition Hilton Head is planned for more than 9,000 residences to be built over the next 15 years. It is a community committed to sustainable development and has already received nationwide recognition for its eco-friendly land planning. The community has voluntarily embraced numerous environmental mandates and served as site of the first “HGTV Green Home” this year.
The community will feature a variety of neighborhoods and housing styles along with shopping, dining, services and recreation facilities in village complex.
Tradition Hilton Head is located at 3171 Independence Boulevard, Hardeeville, S.C., 29927. For more information, call (866) 459-1422 or visit www.traditionhh.com on the Internet.

Tradition Hilton Head Celebrates ‘Harvest of Values Home Tour’
Tradition Hilton Head announced its Harvest of Values Home Tour on Oct. 24, 25 and 26 here.
Hundreds of families and couples toured many of the eco-friendly showcase homes by preferred builders, were presented video plans for the 5,300-acre, master-planned, sustainable green community and its all-inclusive Town Village, and participated in complimentary golf clinics given by acclaimed PGA Professional David Wilding and his Tradition National Golf Course staff.
“We want to thank all of our neighbors and visitors to the Lowcountry for touring Tradition Hilton Head and learning more about its green sustainable master-planned community,” said General Manager Bob Swift.
Tradition Hilton Head’s green homes are energy-efficient and will save homeowners money in heating, cooling and irrigation costs, Swift said. Plus, a green home retains and increases their values over time, he said.
“Plus, green sustainable living is the way to go in protecting and living in harmony with the environment,” Swift said.
Wilding, Tradition National Golf Course’s Director of Golf, said he was pleased to offer the complimentary golf clinics.
“Tradition National Golf Course was able to showcase its 35-acre practice facility and six-hole par three course by offering complimentary golf clinics given by myself and our apprentice PGA Professional Steven Lewis,” Wilding said. “The clinics were offered on both Saturday and Sunday, twice daily. Due to the popularity of our facility, more clinics will be coming along in the future.”
