Persimmon Fields is a bold, new concept in community development promising to set higher standards of living at economical prices. Located in Johnsonville, South Carolina, the Persimmon Fields community has been thoughtfully planned so residents may enjoy the peaceful and interactive experience of a tightly knit community. Additionally, while only forty-five minutes outside of Myrtle Beach, Persimmon Fields provides easy access to the coast, yet because of its rural charm feels a world apart.
Surrounded by the eighteen-hole Wellman Golf Course, a championship course designed by Ellis Maples and Ed Seay, Persimmon Fields is unique in its approach to enhancing the elements of residential life. By coupling golf with various other excellent amenities, including: nature trails, ponds, open spaces and sporting facilities, the Persimmon Fields community becomes the foundation for a harmonious residential sanctuary. With single family homes starting in the low 100’s Persimmon Fields also challenges the notion that golf course living is only available to the wealthy. Persimmon Fields truly has the potential to redefine your lifestyle.
Restaurants/Food Service
Fitness Center
Pools/Spas Persimmon Fields residents will have access to two swimming facilities: the Persimmon Fields resident’s club pool and the Wellman Club pool. The facilities at the Wellman Club will undergo significant renovations. In addition to renovations to the pool and surrounding patio, the entire pool and tennis area will be redesigned to provide for a more relaxing experience. A new play/picnic area will give the pool club a Caribbean beachfront feel. Palmetto frond umbrellas located next to beach sand pits and surrounded by extensive landscaping will help to generate this atmosphere, and make the pool club perfect for relaxation after a hard day at work or a long golf outing. The Persimmon Fields resident’s club facility will be a part of the residents club located near the main entrance to the community.
Indoor Activities
Outdoor Activities Interwoven throughout the Persimmon Fields community and the Wellman Golf Club is a network of walking trails that provides an amenity for all levels of fitness. With spectacular golf vistas, sites for bird watching, and an interspersed fitness system the walking trail is great for a morning jog, a relaxing walk or for a nice weekend picnic at one of the picnic benches thoughtfully placed along the trail.
The Fit-Trail system is the fitness system used by Persimmon Fields. Fit-Trail is a timber fitness trail which combines scientifically designed exercises with walking or jogging to provide a well-balanced physical fitness routine for the entire body. In the early 70’s Fit-Trail was a pioneer in the introduction and development of the fitness trail concept. With the return in popularity of fitness trails, Fit-Trail has updated their model to provide a more modern approach to fitness.
In addition to the fitness stations, the trail features benches and gazebos set amongst the ponds and greens that highlight the beauty of Persimmon Fields. The walking trails also provide walking access to the golf, pool, clubhouse and tennis facilities.
Golf According to Golf Digest’s “Places to Play” guide The Wellman Club is one of best kept secrets in South Carolina. The course is a hidden gem on the grounds of the Persimmon Fields community. Designed by Ellis Maples and Ed Seay, this 7,018-yard track features lush Bermuda fairways and well-trapped fast greens, with water on 9 holes. Over the past few years the course has been host to Nike Tour qualifier events and Big South conference championships. With scheduled renovations to the clubhouse, pool, pro-shop, bar and banquet facilities a day spent at the Wellman Club is a great day for the whole family. And don’t forget, the membership at the Wellman Club includes the rights to play Southern Links’ two other golf courses: the Links at Lakewood and the Sumter National Golf Club. Visit www.southernlinks.net to get a preview of these two other courses.
Tennis South Carolina’s climate provides for perfect weather for four season tennis. Along with renovations to the Pool Facilities at the Wellman Club, the tennis club will see a facelift which is sure to delight both competitive and recreational tennis players. Resurfacing the clubs three hard courts as well as replacing the fencing and lighting system will significantly improve the quality of play.
Clubhouse The Wellman Club House at Persimmon Fields will undergo a complete redesign and renovation to serve as the center of the golfing experience. It will also facilitate golf tournaments and serve as the keystone gathering area for the Persimmon Fields community. The clubhouse features a banquet hall, bar and pro-shop. The redesigned banquet hall will be stylistically updated and perfect for events of all sizes. With an attached full service kitchen, catering events will be an easy task to undertake. Attached to the banquet hall will be a redesigned bar and snack bar which overlooks the eighteenth green and an outdoor patio, providing an excellent spot from which to watch friends finish their rounds.
Community residents will also enjoy their own private residents club. With a central meeting room, workout center and changing rooms, the residents club will be located adjacent to the resident's pool area and provide the perfect gathering point for community activities.
