Lockwood Folly, a 460-acre gated residential community tucked away in the woods on the western bank of the Lockwood Folly River, began to be developed in 1987 by Channel Side Corp. Properties available include deep water river lots, marsh lots, golf course lots and lots with views of the Lockwood Folly River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Overlooking the river is a beautiful property owners’ clubhouse with an Olympic size swimming pool and hot tub. Lockwood Folly also has an 18 hole Willard Byrd designed golf course, tennis courts, a boat ramp and a limited boat storage area. The Country Club community is located at the northwest junction of the Lockwood Folly River and the Intracoastal Waterway, in the area locally known as Brown's Landing. From the boat ramp, it is approximately one nautical mile to the open ocean.
As of November 2006, there are 261 homes completed, 28 homes under construction, 22 townhouse/condo units completed, 4 townhouse/condo units under construction and 303 vacant lots privately owned. At maturity, Lockwood Folly will contain 618 dwellings on 460 acres. Current status of development is about 51% of maturity.
Lockwood Folly is served by the Brunswick County Sheriffs Department and is within the Tri Beach Fire District.

LOCKWOOD FOLLY POA COMMUNITY CLUBHOUSE
September 8, 2008
Where are we in the clubhouse project process?
Building of a new clubhouse is a joint effort between the POA (financing) and LFCCI (land) to promote community unity and create a facility that will not only be of great use to the community but will contribute to maintaining property values. Our community members benefit from all of our amenities – clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, golf course, waterways. Sadly we are an aging community and our amenities are in serious need of updating, renovation, etc. It is the mandate of the POA Board to maintain all amenities to assure that property values are maintained. The current Community Clubhouse does not provide enough space for all of the communities’ needs, social gatherings, office and meetings, etc. Our community has expanded as have our needs. To this end the need for a new Community Clubhouse will be decided by a vote of all property owners, not just the Board of Directors.
The proposed Community Clubhouse location, between the pool and the bag drop, is based on the recommendation in the Clubhouse Committee report given to both boards. This option includes meeting and game rooms, office space, dining room/party room with catering kitchen, pro-shop and café.
The POA and LFCCI Boards have selected the design/build contractor, Taylor Construction, as recommended by the Clubhouse Committee. While the Taylor Design Team is addressing all of the aspects of the Concept/Design Phase involved with a new Community Clubhouse, septic, traffic flow, parking, etc., the POA Board will be addressing the financial package, all of which, when completed, will be sent to every property owner. This is the next step in moving forward on this very important project.
The POA Board will also hold multiple Town Meetings where all of your questions can be addressed before any ballot is sent out requiring your vote.
