Palmetto Dunes Women’s Club: Building Bridges, Building Community

As you walk through the streets of Palmetto Dunes, Leamington, and Shelter Cove, it’s hard not to notice the sense of community that fills every corner of these beautiful Hilton Head Island neighborhoods. For 25 years, the Palmetto Dunes Women’s Club has played a vital role in fostering this spirit of camaraderie and friendship among its residents.

Founded on March 7, 2000, the Palmetto Dunes Women’s Club was established with a simple yet profound mission: to encourage neighborly connections and a sense of belonging among the women of Palmetto Dunes. Today, the club boasts a membership of over 200 women, including owners, long-term renters, and full and part-time residents.
The Women’s Club started with 6 interest groups and has grown to almost 30 as of 2024. The club offers something for everyone, from sporting activities to dining, games, reading, and community involvement. Members can choose from a wide range of activities that cater to their diverse interests. These groups meet year-round at various times, ensuring that every member has the opportunity to participate and connect with like-minded women.

Through the years, the Palmetto Dunes Women’s Club has become an integral part of the neighborhood’s fabric by providing a platform for lasting friendships, shared experiences, and mutual support. As the club continues to grow and evolve, its commitment to fostering a sense of community and lasting friendships remains strong.
While the Women’s Club is primarily a social club, it is also dedicated to making a positive impact in the community through charitable endeavors.

The PDWC is holding its Silver Anniversary Luncheon at the Country Club of Hilton Head on March, 7, 2025. All current and past PDWC members are invited. For more information go to PDWC.wildapricot.org
