Hilton Head Island is known first and foremost for its pristine golf courses.
One of the Island’s gems is the Robert Trent Jones oceanfront course in Palmetto Dunes. named the 2003 South Carolina Golf Course of the year after undergoing $3 million in renovations. But don’t let the wide fairways and flat looking greens fool you, this is a tough course to par for even a scratch golfer.
The RTJ Oceanfront course is a little longer than some of the courses on the island at 6122 yards from the white tees with a 72 par, 122 slope and a 69.1 rating.
If you have any aspiring Tigers in your family, the Robert Trent Jones course now offers Junior Tees, a first for Hilton Head Island golf! So tee the whole family up and rent a couple Segway’s and play a round on this magnificent course!

Are you itchin to get back to nature on your Hilton Head Vacation? why not take a quick ride out to Pinckney Island Wildlife Refuge? Pinckney Island is the body of land that you see when you drive onto the island, actually, you have already been to Pinckney! it is the little island between the mainland and Hilton Head!
If you are leaving the island, take a right after the first bridge and that is the refuge. there are 14 miles of trails through protected wetlands and forest areas. There are no motorized vehicles allowed on these trails as they are a precious and fragile entitiy to the eco-system that exists within the South Carolina Barrier Islands.
There are over 200 types of birds that live on Pinckney Island including the Egret and Cranes. It is advised that all hikers or bicyclists stay on the trails although this is a beautiful island, it is important to remember that South Carolina is also home to many poisonous snakes.
So grab your binoculars and walking shoes and take a hike through Pinckney Island!

Savannah, GA is about 50 minutes from Hilton Head Island. 
This quaint historic town is a great day trip for you and your family while on your Hilton Head Vacation.
Take a horse drawn carriage ride through the squares of downtown Savannah. Or experience the history by the Savannah River on River Street then take a trip one street up to City Market.
Savannah is home to one of the best art schools in the country, the Savannah College of Art & Design which creates a culturally enriching atmosphere for its residents and visitors alike. As you stroll though the downtown areas of Savannah, you will see local artists work all around, from hand sculpted chess pieces to large murals.
Savannah is the setting for the John Berendt book Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil and there are references to the best seller all around the city. Savannah is also home to the Juliette Gordon Low house who happens to be the founder of the Girl Scouts.
In addition to the art and eccentric people you will encounter, Savannah is one of the spookiest cities around! sign up for a ghost tour and learn about all the supernatural things that have gone on throught the city by the sea. If ghost tours don’t really sound like your thing, you can take a normal tour though Savannah during the day time and learn about all that Savannah has been through.
Once your tour i
s up, you can swing into Lady & Son’s for some good home cooking at Paula Deen’s restaurant (the cornbread is to die for).
Savannah is a wonderfully diverse place that has something to offer everybody and we here at Maximum Vacations would be happy to help you plan your day outing to Savannah! Call us today and book your discount vacation!

Here at Maximum Vacations, we love good food. That is one of the reasons we discount our rentals so much, so our guests will have some extra change to try some of the fabulous restaurants on the island.
One such place is Red Fish located on Pope Ave, just south of the Sea Pines Circle. Fantastic cuisine with a Caribean flair. Dispite the name, Red Fish offers plenty for those land lovers in your family including a New York Strip and a Birkshire Pork Chop. Their Kobe Beef Burger with Fois Gras is outstanding if you are tired of a standard cheese burger.
Although Red Fish welcomes large groups and families, the menu may not please the smallest members of your family, however, Chef Walsh will happily prepare anything on the menu “naked” which means only cooked in extra virgin olive oil, lime and garlic.
Red Fish also has one of the largest selections of wine on the island. The on-site wine cellar is sure to impress. There are over 1,000 wines to choose from.
Red Fish offers a lunch, early bird, and dinner menu as well as an extensive catering menu.
We invite you to book your vacation now and to visit this landmark restaurant on Hilton Head today!
