Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
While Hilton Head Island is famous for its twelve-mile stretch of glistening sand and for Harbour Town Golf Links, home of the PGA Tour's Heritage Classic, the island offers much more. Arranged in a number of Plantations, each one offering a choice of accommodation options and a number of golf courses, plus shopping, restaurants and bars, Hilton Head provides a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy golf, tennis, boating, cycling and walking in an unspoilt environment.
Hilton Head Island combines a wealth of golf courses fashioned by some of the game's most well known architects with the charms of the region itself. It strives for quality versus quantity and it shows. Hilton Head was voted #10 by Golf Digest readers as one of the world's best golf resort destinations.
Over 15 courses welcome you to tee off on Hilton Head Island itself, with additional courses just off the Island. Harbour Town Golf Links, where the Heritage Tournament is held annually in April, ranks 67th and the private Long Cove Club is ranked the 68th best course in the nation.
With Hilton Head's sub-tropical climate, sunny skies and lush green fairways, golf enthusiasts will delight in the wide and scenic fairways of the Island's courses, created by golf's most preeminent architects. George and Tom Fazio, Arthur Hills, Rees and Robert Trent Jones, Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, George Cobb, Gary Player, Fuzzy Zoeller and Willard Byrd have all left their distinctive mark on the championship courses.
