about us Commodore Yacht Club Commodore Yacht Club was established by Wilson Lewith on property that was located in what is now known as “River Hills Country Club”.  The road was then name Commodore Drive.  It was called “Belk’s River House” in the mid to late 50’s.  It was renamed as Commodore Yacht Club and moved to Concord Road in the late 1960’s.  It originally was created with 50 to 60 slips, with a small clubhouse, that has grown to 80 slips with a 1500 sq ft. club house at present. As I sat down with the “most mature-aged existing member” Tony Carroll, he had so many wonderful memories of the years of Commodore Yacht Club.  He remembered back in 1972 when he was elected to the Board of Directors as the treasurer, that the club did not have any growth in sight and less money in the account.  He set out to build the club and grow the membership.  Goal accomplished! In 1989, Hurricane Hugo came through and destroyed the club.  With only a few docks that were salvageable, they set out to re-build.  They did just that. Commodore Yacht Club is a great place to feel like you are at your “home away from home”.  Many of our members spend their weekends here, some year-round.  We have group club parties where everyone comes with their children and grandchildren, guests from out of town, and friends from across the miles.  As Tony will tell you, all of his three children took their first steps on a boat, and I am sure that many other members have the same memories.   Commodore Yacht Club was established by Wilson Lewith on property that was located in what is now known as “River Hills Country Club”.  The road was then name Commodore Drive.  It was called “Belk’s River House” in the mid to late 50’s.  It was renamed as Commodore Yacht Club and moved to Concord Road in the late 1960’s.  It originally was created with 50 to 60 slips, with a small clubhouse, that has grown to 80 slips with a 1500 sq ft. club house at present.
