ThE NPMA 2012 REGIONAL CONFERENCE SERIES
Welcome to hilton head Island<br />
When you’re ready to take a break from timeless Hilton Head<br />
Island activities such as building sandcastles and playing in the<br />
<strong>Atlantic</strong> Ocean’s waves on one of the top 10 family beaches in<br />
America, you’ll discover that there are many more fun things to<br />
do in South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island than just the beach.<br />
Welcome to the “Golf Island”! With more than 20 championship<br />
golf courses Hilton Head is widely recognized as a golfer’s<br />
paradise. But don’t forget about the food — from fancy to<br />
no frills, the diverse Hilton Head Island dining scene offers<br />
something for everyone.<br />
Golf Tournament at the Port Royal Golf Club<br />
Imagine 54 holes of legendary golf nestled within one of Hilton Head<br />
Island's most pristine plantations along the <strong>Atlantic</strong> coastline. This<br />
golf haven, Port Royal Golf Club, was designed by some of the best<br />
golf architects - George Cobb, Pete Dye and William Byrd. It has also<br />
been honored with the presence of some of golf's legendary players,<br />
having hosted the Champions Tour Hilton Head Seniors International.<br />
The course features Champion Bermuda greens that are small and<br />
protected by bunkers and Bermuda rough, demanding a deft touch<br />
with medium and short irons. This is a golf challenge where accuracy,<br />
not length, is paramount. Limited space — register early!
