When Golf Digest declares a place to be one of the “World’s Top Ten Golf Destinations”, then that’s serious. And the range of golf in this area is just that, but with a lot of just plain golf fun as well. All the big architect names seem to be here and some of the more unusual wrinkles in golf are here too. Haig Point on Daufuskie Island has a private 20-hole course and Palmetto Hall as two semi-private, digitally designed courses with the squared boxes and corners to prove it.
If you are visiting Hilton Head for your next golf vacation, take some time to review our golf course guide. Which course is the best? That depends on what you're looking for in a course. All have unique challenges for golfers of every skill level.
The most famous course on Hilton Head Island is the Harbour Town Golf Links. Each year - the week after the Masters Golf Tournament, Harbour Town hosts The Heritage PGA Tour tournament.
Hilton Head Golf Packages
Will you save money by booking a golf package instead of separate rounds of golf and hotel rooms? Chances are that the total price is about the same. On occasion you can receive discount rates by booking a golf package, but more than likely you will have to tee it up in the afternoon to receive the discount rather than having a morning tee time. Booking a package deal may also limit your play to a select number of courses, rather than giving you the opportunity to play all of the Hilton Head and Bluffton links. Your best bet is to take the time to review the courses below, choose your favorites, view their rates, and price out various Hilton Head hotels.
