Since the opening of the first golf course on Hilton Head in 1961, the island golf community has always valued quality over quantity – a belief that has earned Hilton Head the reputation as “The Golf Island.”

Great golf neither ends or begins at the bridge to the island, as the mainland offers a number of unforgettable layouts as well.  At Old South Golf Links you will enjoy what every golfer seeks in the low-country -  fairways wandering through maritime forests, greens shining in the sun surrounded by marshes, and abundant wildlife.  Old South features three holes on each nine with spectacular views across the marshes along the Intracoastal Waterway. While the rest of the course meanders through old live oak, pine stands, and lagoons its challenge is fair for every golfer – beginner to professional. 

Hilton Head National opened its doors officially on November 1, 1989. The course is a Gary Player design and incorporates many of Gary's philosophies on golf course layout. Gary stresses that while golf courses should be challenging, they should not punish unduly.

Hilton Head National is indeed, Gary Player’s kind of golf. First, there’s lots of it, 18-holes in two unique, yet equally challenging nines.

If golf’s what brought you to the Lowcountry, you’d be remiss to miss Hilton Head National’s commitment to golf, pure golf, that has made it one of the most enjoyable links experiences in this golf-crazy region.

These are the jewels of Hilton Head Island, where the quality of the golf rather than the quantity of the courses is something to experience.
