Hilton Head National Golf Club
About
Set across 300 acres of lush Carolina Lowcountry, Hilton Head National Golf Club has earned its reputation as one of the region’s premier public courses.
A unique collaboration between golf legends Gary Player and Bobby Weed, the course offers two distinct nines that complement each other beautifully. Weed designed the front nine with larger, more dramatically contoured greens to contrast and balance Player’s strategically crafted back nine.
Among the most memorable holes is the challenging par-4 sixth — bordered along its entire right side by the course’s largest lake and protected by deep pot bunkers near the green. The back nine features several standout holes, including the long and demanding 16th, which ranks as the No. 1 handicap hole for women and No. 5 for men. And finishing strong, the par-4 eighteenth tests precision with a deep marsh running the length of the narrow fairway.
Together, these elements create a course that’s scenic, strategic, and rewarding for players of all skill levels.

Very nice conditions - welcoming staff
This course is a favorite when I am in Hilton head because I can count on good conditions and a great staff! Thanks again.
Consistent conditioning
This course consistently provides you with great conditioning, an interesting playable at all levels layout and is very pleasing on the eye. Staff always seem to know what they are doing and help to make this a great value place to play.
Great Track! A must play!
Beautiful course with lots of different looks. Greens were rolling true.
Excellent grounds, greens!
The grounds, tee boxes and greens are in excellent shape. Playing in the afternoon and pace of play was great, no waiting. excellent value for the money. A must to plat when hoing to Holton Head, just remember it is in Bluffton.
Always on our hit list
We come for golf every year and Hilton Head National is always on our play list. Always in great condition and the staff is nice. We recommend this course highly. Everything about it is enjoyable.
Great Time
Played mid morning and got very hot. Staff at arrival very friendly and courteous. Playing as a two ball pace of play was good and we were round in 3 1/2 hours. Plenty water stations at tees. Course in very good condition and greens were in very good condition with lots of subtle breaks. Overall a really good day and most enjoyable and I would recommend to friends.
Always in great condition
I have played here several times over the past 10 years and am always impressed. Greens and fairways were in excellent condition this morning. Love the layout and beautiful landscapes. My favorite course on the Island.
Nice Course but Interesting Course Management
We showed up to check in for our hot deal special and only one person was working the counter. The guy behind the counter was taking a reservation on the phone while 3 or 4 golfers were waiting at the counter until another staff member showed up to help us. My wife I and were paired up with a couple of young guys to make a foursome. Before we even got to the green on hole number one a twosome came charging up the fairway. I had two pars and a birdie on the first six holes when the ranger came to us and said that their was a large gap between us and the group in front of us so he split us up to make two twosomes. My wife and I caught up to the twosome in front of us by the 12th hole and from the 12th hole to the 18th hole we waited at every tee box. At one time I counted five twosomes in a row including my wife and I. I have no ideal why a foursome was sent out in a middle of twosomes. I have read past reviews where some claimed that they were rushed and I can see where that may occur. The ranger wasn't rude and we did finish in four hours and ten minutes so in the long run it wasn't all that bad. Logan at the bag drop said it was a rough day when we played but we did enjoy the course and it is well maintained.
Great Course
Pros: Excellent condition. Fun layout with tees for every handicap. Nice putting greens and driving range. Nice starter.
Cons: None
Very Nice Course
This was my first time at this course. The greens are large. They roll fast and true. Fairways are pretty open compared to most courses in the area. This course is in great shape. Can"t wait for my next trip to the area and play again.
Excellent Golf Course
This course if one of the best around HHI, especially considering it is under $100 to play! There are a number of picturesque holes and the course makes great use of the surrounding terrain. There are holes with trees strategically placed forcing the player to hit tactical shots. The entire course was in great shape, the greens rolled consistently and at an okay speed, I would have liked them to be a bit quicker. The staff was very helpful and friendly. If you are coming to Hilton Head this course, without question, should be near the top of your list of course to play!
Lot of fun
Really enjoyed ourselves. Threat of rain probably kept people away but it only drizzled one hole. Had course to ourselves. What a treat! Conditions were super. Our favorite course of the week We played 6 different courses.
It wasn’t a difficult course, was well manicured. Staff was courteous, course was open, hurricane coming in and a few lighting delays but managed to get in all 18. My wife rode, great afternoon, good day on vacation!

The course is challenging, great condition, & overall fun to play.
Our one pet peeve, no personal coolers allowed, yet no coolers provided on carts. This is crazy. In my experience all high quality courses like Hilton Head National provide coolers with ice. 85+ temp. with very high humidity you have to wait 3 plus holes for cold water holes doesn't make sense.
Great Day
2pm tee time. Hot deals.
staff was good, easy access, have to drive off the Island of Hilton Head but no big deal. Course was empty when I went and the starter let me go as soon as I was warmed up. Range was top notch. Condition of the course was very good. Greens were straight and easy. Short course off the whites. Played blues and whites. Great deal.
Nice course not in resort facility
If you get a chance, check out Hilton Head National. Not one of the resort courses however a great public facity worth consideration. Well maintained with a nice layout. It’s a fun and fair track. You won’t be disappointed.
