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