Class “B” Commercial Board Member

Cary Corbitt is the Secretary of the Board of Directors for the Sea Pines Resort. He is a long-term resident of the Sea Pines community, having served on the CSA Board of Directors representing the Sea Pines Resort as a commercial representative for many years. He has served on the CSA Gate Entry Committee for several years and for the last 7 years, he has continued to serve as the Chairman. In 2023, the Gate Entry Committee merged with the Rental Management Committee, where Cary applied his expertise to both.

Cary first learned about Hilton Head Island and the Sea Pines community when he was a 16-year-old South Carolina high school golfer and was invited to participate in the inaugural Heritage Classic golf tournament and worked as a marshal on the course. He decided then that Hilton Head Island was where he wanted to come after college. After graduating from Lander University, he married his wife, Wendy Corbitt, in April 1975, and Hilton Head has been their home ever since. They have stayed involved in their community and been members of the Sea Pines Country Club since the early ‘80’s.

Cary has held many leadership positions throughout his time in Hilton Head. He leads as the Chair of the Charities Committee and the Heritage Classic Foundation Board of Directors. Corbitt was the past President of the Lowcountry Golf Course Owners Association and Vice President of the SC Golf Course Owners Association. His other roles include past Board of Directors for the Hilton Head Chamber of Commerce, past Vice Chair for Lander University Board of Directors and past Board of Directors for Carolina’s Chapter of PGA America.

Cary recently retired in May 2021 after a 43-year career with the Sea Pines Resort as Vice President of Sports and Operations. He and his wife have been Sea Pines residents for over 40 years and built a home on Twin Pines Road in 2015. They have one son, Parker, and one grandson, Aiden, who lives in the upstate. Wendy Corbitt is a broker and partner of Sea Pines Real Estate Company at the Beach Club. Today, the couple enjoys lots of golf, travel, the beach, biking, boating and especially time with friends.
