Mason Anderson, President, Caw Caw Land Development Corp. (the developer of Brunswick Plantation), sent the following letter to all the residents of Brunswick Plantation:

Many, if not all of you, are aware of the fact that a number of golf courses in the Grand Strand area have been, or are in the process of, converting the golf course into housing developments. I could recount them for you, but I think you are aware of what I am talking about.

The purpose of this memo is to let you all know that is not the direction we are headed; to the contrary, we are going in the reverse direction. We have found a qualifying land trust which has agreed to accept from us a conservation easement in perpetuity on the footprint of the entire golf course which will ensure that we, or any owners in the future, cannot convert the golf course into a housing or real estate development. Giving up this right to develop the land now, or at anytime in the future, represents millions of dollars in value we are giving up, which will, in my opinion, accrue to the benefit of all property owners in the form of higher home and land values.

We felt this was the right thing to do in order to protect the future of our community, and to give peace of mind to you folks. For those of you who are golfers, you know we have also made substantial and expensive upgrades to the course -- this also helps property values for the off-course property, as well as property directly abutting the course. We are committed to Brunswick Plantation and to making it the best community and place to live in the area! We are also committed to the golf course, and it is our intentions to maintain and operate it in the top tier of courses in the area -- those of you who have been with us very long know the commitment my partners and I have to Brunswick Plantation and the golf course.

Thanks for being with us and thanks for your support!
