Golf is an important part of the Cooper’s Point experience. Sapelo Hammock Golf Course, an 18-hole championship course, designed by Rusty Simmons, has won a number of awards and was recently named a “Residential Course of Distinction” by Golfweek Magazine. The course makes the most of the scenic Georgia low country, and winds through the marsh, forest, and alongside the scenic Sapelo River. Five sets of tees ensure a challenging round for golfers of all skill levels.
In addition to golf, Cooper’s Point offers residents miles of tidal creeks, ideal for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking as well as tennis courts, scenic biking and hiking trails, deep water access, and in the near future a pool and health and fitness center. A clubhouse supports the golf course and hosts a variety of activities.
Just a short drive to Savannah and the quaint costal resorts of St. Simon’s Island and Brunswick, Cooper’s Point is an ideal location for exploring the southeastern American coastline. Shellman, itself, is a picturesque village with all the southern charm of rural Georgia. Once the home of antebellum plantations, Shellman Bluff offers excellent low-country seafood, quiet small town living, and a chance to explore unspoiled nature at the nearby Blackbeard National Wildlife Refuge.
