The Island Packet of Hilton Head reported the Melrose course on Daufuskie Island is lush even though it's operated without electricity for more than two months. The course closed for about six weeks after the Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa filed for bankruptcy in 2009. Head pro Patrick Ford and superintendent Nick Bright reopened the course and are maintaining it with dues voluntarily paid by residents.
