Wexford

What Wexford does

Wexford is a private, gated residential and country club community located on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, founded in 1983. The community provides membership-based access to an integrated set of amenities: an 18-hole Signature Arnold Palmer Design golf course, a 280-slip inland harbour with one of only three lock-regulated systems on the East Coast (maintaining 8 feet of water depth and accommodating vessels up to 70 feet), a Tennis & Pickleball Center with 6 Har-Tru clay courts and 4 lighted pickleball courts, an elegant clubhouse with seasonal dining, a temperature-controlled pool complex, croquet, and a Wexford Yacht Club offering reciprocal benefits through Yacht Clubs of America. Underlying operations run on the Clubessential member management and website platform, supplemented by an ABDI gate access system and security infrastructure; the club does not operate a mobile app or public API.

Wexford serves an affluent residential member base of property owners, retirees, families, and second-home owners seeking luxury Lowcountry living with protected waterfront access. The customer segment is a single horizontal persona — members are simultaneously property owners within the community, creating a structurally captive economic base. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring private membership dues, supplemented by food and beverage, golf, harbour, racquets, and program fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed and prospective members must inquire directly.

Operationally, Wexford is led by General Manager Michele Scott (CHAE, joined 2013), CFO Carolyn Taylor, and COO Ryan Spence, supported by an Executive Chef, Director of Golf, Harbour Master, Director of Tennis, Director of Safety & Security, Director of Greens & Grounds, Director of Marketing & Member Services, and Human Resources Manager. The headcount is 51-100. The organization operates as a single-site private club with no parent company, no external private equity or venture backing disclosed, and no subsidiaries, M&A history, or external funding rounds in the public record. The Wexford Real Estate vertical provides listings within the community, allowing the club to participate in property resales and sustain its membership pipeline.
