Case Study
Palmetto Dunes Club
Traditional club heritage paired with moisture-wicking performance—designed for the Lowcountry climate.
Palmetto Dunes Club, Hilton Head Island, SC
Design and Supply for Golf Professionals, Clubhouse Staff, and Grounds Crew (150+ staff).
To create a uniform that is both traditional and highly functional for the hot, humid climate, reflecting the club's prestigious heritage.
The Challenge: Heritage Meets Performance
Palmetto Dunes Club, a landmark in the Lowcountry, needed a uniform update that honored its classic Southern heritage while incorporating modern performance technology. The apparel needed to look sharp from the first tee to the final dinner service, enduring long hours in the sun and high-end guest interaction.
The CDM Solution: Moisture-Wicking Tradition
We focused on a timeless color palette of navy, white, and subtle green accents. The key was the fabric selection: high-quality, moisture-wicking pique polos and lightweight, stretch-woven trousers for the golf staff. For the clubhouse, we designed tailored, breathable blazers and crisp shirts that maintained a professional look even in the summer heat.
- Golf Pros: Custom-embroidered, performance-blend polos and technical trousers for maximum comfort and mobility.
- Clubhouse Staff: Tailored, wrinkle-resistant shirting and bespoke-fit chinos.
- Grounds Crew: Durable, UV-protective workwear that is clearly branded yet highly functional.
Results & Management
The new uniforms were immediately embraced by the staff, who appreciated the comfort and professional appearance. The club noted a positive impact on member perception. We continue to manage their inventory, ensuring that seasonal changes and new staff hires are handled seamlessly through our dedicated logistics portal.
