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.

Best Public Course in Bluffton
In great shape, very scenic, well designed course. This course and Old South are the two best courses in Bluffton that are open to the public.
Great golf course
I love playing this course. It's one of the 4 best in the Hilton Head area
Excellent
Played on a Friday afternoon. Course was in excellent condition. Fairways,greens,tee boxes,bunkers were all in superb shape. Plenty of room off the tee and can be as challenging as you like from the five sets of tees. Marshall was present and sent the two of us through a foursome on a par three. Drink cart was around a couple of times as well. Great round of golf and would certainly play there again when visiting the area.
Would play again in a heartbeat!!!!
Course was in great shape for July and loved every minute of it. Definitely will play again and again when in HHI.
Course in great condition
Fairways were plush
Greens rolled true
Cart had GPS
Driving range in great condition
Two putting greens
No chipping area
I enjoyed ths course
This was my first time playing this course I found it in great shape. Great course I would play it again.
Great course
Great course, we enjoyed the course and the staff. It's been a long time since we played HHN, but found it to be better than we remembered. We'll be back to play next time we're at HHI.
Beautifully maintained and gorgeous course!
We absolutely loved this course. It is so well maintained that it is truly a pleasure to play, even if you are in the trees.
Great course with some memorable holes
Very pleased to have the opportunity to play this course while on vacation. Open enough that it was enjoyable for an 18 handicapped player. Greens were in great shape. Best feature was the GPS system in carts. Gave accurate distance to flag and hazards. Would highly recommend this course!
roc
Played 6 course the week we were in town, top two, old south next door just as good, great staff, very hot recommend you ride. Meet too hit 250 t shoot to reach green in 2
Pretty average track
Played late afternoon, just 9 holes, but the course appeared to be closing when I arrived! When I got in after 9, I was the last guy there and everything was locked up altho the guys let me into the washroom.
I dont think they should take bookings if they are about to close up.
Course was pretty bland, and wet. Greens had been recently cored and were terrible, it was like putting on sand. Heavy conditions. Nice GPS on the cart.
Brutally hot
Started out around 9am and it was already above 80 and heat index was easily over 100 by end of round. The marshall was a great guy...he had the foursome ahead of us speed up so pace of play was good, at least until the last 5-6 holes. As for the course, I played here in December (1st time) and the greens were great. This time they were slow and very grainy, maybe because of the high temps. The layout is challenging but fun. Fairways were nice in most instances but there were a few bare spots. Staff was very courteous.
Excellent course for all levels of players
Great value and always in great condition
Greens where aerated when we played
Fairways excellent
Staff friendly
Nice course
beautiful course, Pretty challenging, green were just punched about 2 weeks before so they were still in rough shape. I would recommend this course to anyone and its a great value for the area.
Awesome
Greens had been punched but knew that going in as it is that time of year. This place is beautiful and clean. Staff was excellent. Truly a pleasure to play.Probably not a better course around to play.
Fast, true greens
Very nice design, layout. Was good length for wife and I. Greens were fast and took sometime to adjust. Staff were very friendly and Marshall checked in several times about pace of slow group in front and eventually had them let two twosomes play through. Would play more often except for price of green fees which seemed high.
Great layout
Nice course, no houses or noise of any kind . Beautiful fairways and fast greens. I highly recommend this course
Tranquil setting
Conditions and value were ok.Pace of play looked like it would be a problem but the ranger was alert and asked the group in front if us to let us play through, thankfully. The best feature is the setting which is quiet and peaceful. The layout is straight forward and a bit narrow in spots.
Great place to play golf
First time at HHN and it certainly won't be the last.
Paired up with 2 very nice gentleman from out of town and had a great time on a fun and friendly course! Well maintained and fast greens you won't be disappointed.
Great greens
Greens fast and true. Some very tricky. Nice layout and quite a challenge. A good mix of tough and birdie op holes. Great time.
