Your October 23 article on the proposed new $20 million Harbour Town Golf Links clubhouse reminds us once again how fortunate we are to have the Riverside Group as the owner of the Sea Pines Resort.

While there has been some controversy regarding the resort's new beach club development -- extremely misguided in my opinion and that of my wife and all of our friends -- the new facility will clearly add to the ambiance of the resort, the entire Sea Pines community, and, ultimately the island as a whole.

One only needs to see the first-class clubhouse the resort is producing at the old Plantation Club site to understand the resort's commitment to making Sea Pines the premier resort on the Southeast coast.
