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.

Great Value for Money
Fantastic course in great shape, definitely recommend and will play again when back in the area.
Southern hospitality at its best
Great great course. Beautifully maintained course. Greens roll true and green speed is consistent on every hole
A Favorite Course
I love this course. It's beautifully laid out, designed to be challenging for better players while not intimidating for others. It's peaceful and relaxing, with no houses, condos, villas, whatever surrounding you. Just a gorgeous example of natural low country nature. The greens were excellent-- as usual. HHN has done a fine job of cleaning up after Hurricane Matthew -- some still remains to be done but that's only in the woods, we'll out of any intended line of play. Again, I love this course. Clearly in my top 5 within the entire HHI vicinity.
Great layout
I think HHN is the best public course in the area.. I look forward to playing here whenever I come to the island.
Play when on HHI
One of the best of our dozen or so courses played this month on HHI and surrounding area.Enjoyed the layout, and a good pace of play.It was quite busy given it was January and other courses were quiet.
Love Hilton Head National!
We play this course every winter when we visit HH; it is one of our favorites. There are no tricked up holes & it is women friendly. I would suggest playing while you can because the course & greens are in great shape. Sadly, it is scheduled to become a housing development in the next several years:(

What a perfect day! The course was in excellent condition. The greens were great speed and condition. The staff was very accompanying. Going to try and play again later this week.
A real gem in the HHI area
Hilton Head National is one of the few courses in the HHI area that I play every year when we visit. It is always in top condition, has a nice challenging layout, and the staff are always friendly and ready to help. It is a little off island, but well worth the short drive. Definitely a course all should put on the list during their visit to Hilton Head Island.
Love this place
My number 1 course when it comes to price, location, and lay out.
nice course
This course was in good shape and open enough for someone like me that is not real straight off of the tees. Would play again for sure.
Great Course!!
The course was in great shape considering the rain that it had days prior. First time playing and will not be the last!!!
Course with country feel
If you want a course with more of a country feel (no houses in sight) this is it. Course is in great shape for mid-December with some of the nicest greens.
Navigation system on board
Great Golf course in a perfect shape. The Navigation System at the golf cart makes it easy for distance to hazzards and the green. The staff was very friendly. They let me start from tee # 10. So I could play the 18 holes without anyone in front of me. Finished in just 3 h. Great experience on a cold day (50 F).
Great course Will be back
Nice course
Live on the island and play a number of courses. I have played this course four times and is always in good condition. I will play it on my rotation of courses in our area.
beautiful course
Played today on a wonderful December day and this course was fantastic. great greens and condition overall. beautifully laid out through the forest and fair but challenging holes. worth the trip!!
Staff is unreasonable
Eighteen of us took 5 tee times. The ranger asked us to skip hole 10 because we finished the first 9 holes in 2 hours 20 minutes. Then we play hole 10 after hole 18. We had to finish the 9 holes in 2 hours 10 minutes as it is the course standard. We found his request unreasonable as no one before us and the foursome behind us is like 1 hole behind. Our third, fourth, and fifth foursome ended up not playing 10 hole at the end because it is jammed by our five foursome plus the teams finishing hole 9. This is a very stringent and unreasonable request for players to finish 18 holes in 4 hours and 20 minutes. Our golf mood was adversely affected by the unfriendly staff.
Great track
Love this golf course. Great layout and very nice staff. Highly recommend.
Nice course
Been to Hilton Head many time, 1st time playing here in 20 years, don't know why it wasn't on our favorite list.
