Comparing Hilton Head golf courses — what to know
Which Hilton Head golf courses are open to the public?
The fully public-access courses on Hilton Head are the resort courses at Sea Pines (Harbour Town, Atlantic Dunes, Heron Point), Palmetto Dunes (Robert Trent Jones, Arthur Hills, George Fazio), Port Royal (Barony, Robber's Row), and Shipyard (Galleon, Brigantine, Clipper). Semi-private courses — Indigo Run, Hilton Head Plantation, and Palmetto Hall — offer limited public tee times. The Bluffton courses (Hilton Head National, Old South, Crescent Pointe) are fully public.
What is the hardest golf course on Hilton Head Island?
Harbour Town Golf Links is widely considered the most demanding course on the island — tight tree-lined fairways, small greens, and a finishing hole that requires precision under pressure. It consistently ranks among the most challenging courses in the Southeast. Long Cove Club (private) is also regarded as one of Pete Dye's most demanding designs.
Which Hilton Head golf courses have the best views?
The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course at Palmetto Dunes has the most dramatic ocean views — several holes run directly alongside the Atlantic. Oyster Reef Golf Club in Hilton Head Plantation has sweeping Port Royal Sound views. Harbour Town's finishing hole frames Calibogue Sound and the iconic lighthouse. Old South Golf Links in Bluffton has Intracoastal Waterway views throughout.
What is the best value golf course on Hilton Head Island?
The Bluffton courses — Hilton Head National, Old South Golf Links, and Crescent Pointe — offer the best value on the island, with rates significantly lower than the resort courses. Among the island courses, Shipyard's three nine-hole layouts (Galleon, Brigantine, Clipper) offer flexible, affordable rounds in a central location.
