Daufuskie Island, South Carolina http://www.daufuskiesouthcarolina.com/

I am sorry that I haven't updated you all in awhile. Please know that the Bloody Point Pool is not open and not in good shape at all it has completely fallen into disrepair. There have been some "potential buyers" of the resort but nothing is official yet. The same goes for the restaurants. Bloody Point Golf Course the beautiful Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish designed course has been closed for play since January. I've been getting some emails from blog readers about events, weddings and stays on the island. If anyone has an event facility and catering company please drop me an email so that I can create a Daufuskie Vending List for my readers. Please take a look at the Front Porch News link for more frequent updates on events and happenings around the island.

Anonymous said... The Bloody Point golf course is not open and no one knows when it may open again. No food and beverage service at the golf club . Limited food service by the pool.I think it's "wishful thinking" to say the restaurants and the pool amenities are going to be back to normal soon. As a resident, I think it'll be months before our little paradise is back. This is in the comment section under my post but I wanted everyone to see it. Thanks to all the islanders for their opinions and comments. That is what makes blogging so much fun. We get different opinions and perspectives on the same issue. June 17, 2009 8:27 AM

I wanted to let everyone know that Melrose Golf Club and Bloody Point are now open. You will catch the ferries at Broad Creek Marina on Hilton Head and go over for day play. There are lots of condos and rentals to be had all over the island at fantastic prices but the Inn at Melrose has not reopened yet. (Stay tuned for that). Limited food and beverage service is available at the golf club. Don't forget that you can have dinner at Marsh Side Mama's or the Old Daufuskie Crab Company. The restaurants and the pool amenities are going to be back to normal soon so do stay tuned. They were just trying to get the beautiful golf courses operational again.

"a cultural and environmental rant, carefully disguised as a love story." This will be a summer must read. Especially while laying on the beach at Daufuskie Island. I will update you once it hits the bookstores.

It was a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend in Daufuskie Island with 9 friends and good wine in one house. We saw a huge Alligator at Bloody Point, Golfers, and partied at Marshside Mamas for my 40th Birthday. John Cougar Mellancamp and Ellaine Irwin Mellancamps new beach house at Bloody Point is coming along nicely. I really love the moorish influence of the windows and all the covered porches and of course the infinity pool. Excellent taste Ellaine. I finally bought a blue fish and can't wait to get the blue crab from Chase Allen at the Iron Fish Gallery. He is so talented. Our friend Claire bought almost the same fish as she has a blue porch to hang it on. I didn't want to leave after the long Memorial Day weekend DI is so great. All of my friends went to a festival on Sunday afternoon at Freeport Marina and fun was had by all. Too bad most of those pics can not be posted on facebook or my blog.
