Hilton Head Island Golf
Golf is a favorite sport on Hilton Head, which offers 15 public access
courses on the island and nine more nearby. This is an
overview of the courses which includes some specifications and price
ranges. Prices for golf are seasonal, and change at different times for
the various courses. Prices are also subject to "specials"
offered by the courses, often reflecting discounts for afternoon play or
to play multiple courses. The rules for making tee times vary among the courses as well.
We suggest you discuss your golf requirements with the provider of your
accommodations, and request a tee time be made for your first day, at
least. This will give you an opportunity to check out availability at
other courses without missing a day of golf.
Most hotels and rental agencies can provide a golf package, including the
cost of accommodations and play at discount rates. Packages can be
for a week or less, and can include any number of golfers. You should make
sure the provider of accommodations understands the makeup of your party so
suitable accommodations are provided. For example, if your group is all
men, you should make clear you expect a separate bed for each person.
Golf lessons are available at most golf courses. Whether you are just beginning to play the game or have
been playing for years, our PGA Professionals can help you in every aspect of
your game. Discounts available to guests of Seashore Vacations, Inc. Junior
golfers can learn at the International Junior
Golf Academy.
Heron Point is the new name of the Sea Pines Ocean Course following extensive
remodeling. It was designed by Pete Dye and it opened September 15, 2007.
