Crosswinds Golf Club is the perfect choice of venue for a game of golf for golfers arriving at, or departing from, the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. Located just west of the airport, this facility offers golfers the opportunity to play a fantastic 18-hole championship course, or simply work the kinks out at the expansive practice facility, or on the lighted 9-hole Par-3 course. The championship course offers two distinctly different nines. The front nine offers a Parkland-style gol...
Located on historical Bloody Point, thus its name, this Tom Weiskopf, Jay Morrish, design that is situated along the Mungen River is more playable and forgiving than its sister Melrose Course. It is serene and isolated with no homes in sight, and has been described as "park-like". It was originally designed as a private walking course, so the tees are usually in close proximity to the previous green, and there are no cart paths. The course is fairly open. Since play here is sparse the pace of pl...
The Melrose course, named after the Melrose mansion that once occupied this swathe of land during South Carolina's antebellum era, is most recognized for its finishing three ocean holes. Most notable is the Par-4 18th that features a split fairway dissected by an islet of trees and bunkers, and is bordered on the right by a spectacular ocean vista. Although the final three holes are the most celebrated, the landward links are certainly not mediocre. The course plays tough, as Nicklaus designs of...
The first of Indigo Run's two Nicklaus-designed golf courses, the Golden Bear at Indigo Run has quickly earned a name for itself as one of the top-rated layouts on an island of top-flight designs. An abundance of water and sand keep play interesting, but never penalizing. Winding through a beautiful landscape of oak and pine woodlands, Golden Bear is a perfect addition to any golf itinerary....

The 2,000-acre resort at Palmetto Dunes has always been recognized for its outstanding golf facilities. The George Fazio Course, opened in 1974, is considered by many to be the island's toughest layout including the demanding 230-yard par-three 17th hole. If you're looking to test your mettle, this is the course for you. The course offers a series of long par-4s, beset with bunkers and water hazards -- demanding a combination of length and precision play. This Fazio course has been ranked amoung...
Designed into its natural surrounding, the Hills at Palmetto Dunes is a perfect blend of beauty and challenge. The scenery is outstanding: thick stands of palmettos line the graceful course, which is built on a series of rolling dunes. However, off-balance lies and ocean breezes will remind you to keep your eye on the ball. This nautral wonder has won many awards...and the hearts of many golfers.

Readers of Golfweek Magazine have ranked it among the best in the Southeast. One of the classic works of the legendary designer, the Jones offers well-trapped greens and generous landing areas -- with a lagoon system winding its way through 11 of the 18 holes. The signature hole, the par-5 10th, brings you to a breath-taking view of the Atlantic....one of only two oceanfront holes on the island.

Unique. Innovative. Eminently playable. Describe it as you will, the Robert Cupp course is a boldy original design---characterized by straight lines, sharp angles and geometric shapes. The mounding has peaks, and the greens and hazards are rectangles of ellipses. Cupp's vision became a reality in 1993, offering an exciting new challenge for players of all abilities. A public course that is popular with members and visitors alike....
Opened in 1991, this Hills work was instantly dubbed a classic by Golf Magazine. The Hills course at Palmetto Hall still remains one of the most popular courses on Hilton Head. The course is seamlessly integrated into wetlands and stands of live oak, willow, and pine. Protected greens, many edged with bunkers and water on 14 holes, provide a constant challenge....
Named to "GOLF Magazine's" 1996 list of "Silver Medal Resorts,"
One of the island's oldest courses, Barony was designed by George W. Cobb back in 1963. You'll feel comfortable with your driver in your hand here as Cobb provides generous landing areas throughout the round. Don't get too comfortable; however, as your approach shots will much need to be on the mark. Cobb offers a "risk/reward" approach to well-guarded and well-bunkered greens. After golf, make sure to enjoy some time in the club's beautiful Antebellum-style clubhouse.

This Willard Byrd design opened back in 1984 and was once hosted the Hilton Head Seniors International, a Champions Tour event. A bit unusual for this area, Planter's Row is more of a parkland course with rolling, tree-lined fairways and water coming into play on just several holes. The club's large undulating greens are arguably the best feature here. In fact, your short game — particularly your putting — better be on in order to score well....
Redesigned by Pete Dye in 1994, this terrific course has long been an island favorite. Cut through beautiful stands of magnolia and live oak trees, the grounds here are rich in Civil War history. In fact, you'll find historical markers on several holes describing the events that happened here so long ago. The course itself is typical (diabolical?) Dye with fairly generous landing zones, but tough approach shots to small, well-bunkered greens....

Best of all, you'll find Harbour Town to be better than ever after major renovations by original designer Pete Dye. It's a bear, but this is one course you must p...

Although it was the first course on Hilton Head Island, the Ocean Course at Sea Pines remains one of the most popular resort courses to this day. The course was redesigned by Mark McCumber in 1996 and features some of the most scenic golf views on the island. The par-three 15th hole, in particular, will make you break out the camera for a few candid shots. The Ocean is a Certified Audobon Cooperative Sanctuary golf course....
