We've even written an article about the best golf courses in Hilton Head.
Harbour Town Golf Links Hilton Head Island's most prestigious golf destination, Harbour Town Golf Links. A renowned fixture on the PGA TOUR's calendar since 1969, serving as the venue for the RBC Heritage Tournament. Crafted by Pete Dye, with input from Jack Nicklaus, this course requires pinpoint accuracy, featuring small greens, abundant water hazards, and strategically positioned overhanging branches.
Hilton Head National Golf Club Gary Player collaborated with acclaimed architect Bobby Weed to design the challenging Hilton Head National Golf Club. It offers ample opportunities for risk and reward, shown on the signature 6th hole. A par-4 guarded by a treacherous lagoon on the right, and deep pot bunkers on the left. Unlike many courses in the area, there are no residences overlooking this layout, allowing natural vegetation and wildlife to flourish.
Oyster Reef Golf Club Voted the 'Favorite Course of Hilton Head Island', Oyster Reef Golf Club is a superb inclusion in any golf getaway on the island. Designed by Rees Jones and situated across 190 acres of low-country terrain, this 18-hole championship course is surrounded by lush vegetation, winding lagoons, and sweeping views of the island, making it an excellent choice for a South Carolina golf vacation.
Barony Course The Barony Course, built during the 1960s, stands as one of the earliest golf layouts on the island. George W. Cobb designed this course with compact greens shielded by dense rough and unforgiving bunkers, demanding a strong short game. Great course management is essential on this course, given its narrow landing areas and abundance of hazards ready to catch any stray shots.
