Take a Swing at It

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!

Robert Trent Jones, HIlton Head
