The property was originally built in 1811, on about 1,100 acres of historic land. It was then open to the golf-loving community in 1995, and has been flourishing with pastoral scenery ever since.

Belfair offers multiple venues for ceremonies and receptions from 20 to 200 guests. The formal gardens feature an elegant walkway through trimmed geometric hedge designs and a romantic fountain, providing a sophisticated ceremony venue. The Oaks Dining Room is the club’s primary banquet space, with enough room for 200 people and a dance floor. For more intimate affairs, the Magnolia Room gives up to 20 guests a cozy ambience with a welcoming fireplace and classic wall sconce. Servers and bartenders will be prepared to make your cocktail hour a relaxing time while the staff handle your receptions table and linen arrangements.

Taylor Winton(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-06-2021 Would love nothing more than to give Belfair a five star review. Gorgeous venue and perfect for our intimate wedding reception. The staff and services were outstanding! The only problem I had came down to Befair’s inability to maintain their financial records for my event. We had made a payment back in March which was withdrawn from our account and had email verification from Belfair that the check was received and deposited. Unfortunately when it came down to making the final payment, they didn’t have a record/receipt on file thus resulting in an overpayment. Jessica helped to rectify the situation to process a refund which was helpful.Still a great venue and would come highly recommended in my book! Reviewed on 19-07-2021
Jen L(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-05-2021 A dream come true. Choosing Belfair as our wedding venue was the best choice we could have made! Belfair is breathtakingly beautiful (from the Avenue of the Oaks, to the formal gardens, and the grounds) and so unique; it was by far the perfect spot for our destination low-country wedding. Our guests were blown away. Jenny Simpson, the event coordinator, went above and beyond to assist me every step of the way; from planning a wedding during covid-19 to executing our wedding day without a glitch. I can’t thank her enough. The rest of the staff, the food, and the amenities exceeded our expectations and provided an all around amazing experience the whole weekend long. Our wedding at Belfair felt like a fairytale… I highly recommend! Reviewed on 27-06-2021

Megan Larkin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-03-2014 Belfair is a beautiful location-- the oaks at the entry set the mood, and make for gorgeous pictures! Our outdoor wedding required very little accessorizing, because the scene over the marsh was beautiful as it was. Millie Grimes, the catering manager, was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the planning process We received so many compliments on the food, and the few hiccups that happened during the day were taken care of quickly.

Kristen Wilson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-07-2008 Belfair has breath taking views of the beautiful lawn where one of the golf courses ends overlooking marshland and the May River. There are several rooms inside the clubhouse that we loved because it created movement and different areas for our guests to mingle sit relax dance and or eat :);Having the reception inside the clubhouse caters better for smaller weddings. But it makes for a wonderful party. Also keep in mind it is South Carolina along the ocean/river so the summers are hot & humid. Reviewed on 10-05-2010
