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.

I love HHN, but the pace was too slow
This is my favorite course in the HHI area. Today, the retirees were out in force and the pace of play was too slow - had to wait on almost every tee. That doesn't work for me. The course was in great shape and the weather was superb.
Great course
Course is always in great shape. Greens are fantastic. Staff is friendly. And the course isn't overly hard. It won't beat up your average golfer like many courses in the area. And it's about the least expensive round you can find.
Great Time
Course was in great shape. Overseedi g was done early, you were able to ride cart on course. Greens were in great shape, control your speed and you will be fine. Staff was amazing, made you feel like your a member. Did not have food or beverage so disregard the 1 star. As far as price, I booked thru golf now and paid about half price, but would have paid the going rate to golf. I definitely will return, A MUST PLAY IF IN HILTON HEAD.
Excellent
Loved the course and hope to play it again. Compare the course to our own private course back home
Hilton Head National
Of five courses played on this trip, we rated this one #1. We played it second on the list. I have played the National Course in Lake of the Ozarks, and wanted to see if this one compared. It was great. Gary Player can be complimented to use his name on these signature courses.
Always enjoyable!
Hilton Head National continues to deliver quality golf at a fair price. Course conditions have remained good for over 20 years. Pace of play is made easier by the way the rough areas are maintained and cleaned. It is unfortunate 9 holes were closed due to a new road running through portions of the property. Many of those holes were very strong golf challenges. Hilton Head National is a cannot miss for the vacationing golfer or permanent resident.
Cut the greens
Great layout . Nice staff. For a Friday afternoon they did not pair 2somes up so if you were a a 4some you had people double tea potting you all day. The greens were full but I believe unmowed . Stimped about 6. Very disappointed !!!! Cut the greens like I know they can and it is a must play.
Fun course
Fairly wide fairways. Less water than most Hilton Head courses. A little expensive rack rate, but deals can be found. It is a great course for average golfers. Good players might find it too easy.
Go to Hilton Had without HH prices
Had to play in Hilton head on my trip, surprised to find a reasonably priced course with Internationally renowned designers for the price. The course is tough but forgiving if time I taken on shots...A repeater
Experience playing Hilton Head National
We thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to play your beautiful course. We would play it again. No recommendations for change or improvements.
Nice course; paid too much
Group in front of me paid $49 each. Paid $79 each. I should have booked thru the course directly. Otherwise, I liked the course.
Top quality conditions
Really enjoyed the round very well maintained course slowed up a little on back 9 but no big deal! Great greens and forgiving fairways, try it
Would like to do it again.
Have always enjoyed and respected Gary Player's National Golf Courses.
Best value in HH
The best course I have played in recent memory. The course was in impeccable shape. Kudos to the maintenance staff. We played as a twosome. Nobody in front or pushing from behind. Greens were like new carpet. Very scenic. No homes on the course.
Dream come true!!
A great place to play, enjoy everything about this course. True rolling greens, fast, easy to read if you take your time. Enjoy!!!
Fantsic day of golf
just played the best course I have ever played on HHI. Greens were in great condition and fast. Fairways were also in great condition. Staff was vey friendly and did al they could do to pair me up with other golfers. Booked on golf now at very good price and weather was perfect. I had read reviews and someone had played course about 8 days before I played and had rated course a 2 or 3 and said that course was in bad shape. I don' think they were playing same course I played. Will certainly play again when here next time!!!
One of the must play golf clubs
I was told by residents this is a must play . I am so glad I did. I was paired with a traveler from Germany. He played 12 days in a row, he said this was his last round leaving the next day. He wanted to have his last round here. I will do the same. Pro shop staff and starter were friendly and shared info. Great tees,fairways, traps and greens. The rangers were most kind and welcomed us talked golf and said Thankyou for playing here today. Bag drop guys were great. Pro shop was just closed, Pro was leaving and reopened so I could make a purchase. Wow ! Other clubs in area should send staff here to see the way to treat golfers. This was a member for a day course.this was fun! :)
Excellent and Beautiful
This Gary Player designed course is all aaround excellent. Very friendly staff. Great golf course in excellent condition. No tricked up holes just good straight forward solid golf. Wxcellent conditions.
I will be back, often.
Pace of play an issue
Greens were excellent. Pace of play was not very good. Ranger encouraged us to keep pace 3 times when we already explained to him we have waited on every shot the first 6 holes.
