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.

Hurry up and wait
First timer .......last timer
Had a 2pm Tee Time
Arrived 30 minutes early
Was told we would be following a group of 16 players ( who already played 18) We easily could have gone out first but nooooooooo, wait in line
Needless to say we went off late
Then ......wait,wait,wait,wait on every hole!
Very poor course management ( oh right they bragged. About their latest technology where they can track every golf cart on the course)
Never again
Ps course was nice and we spent a good deal of time watching the grass grow
Hi. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing @HiltonHeadNational.

Well above par
Not sure this course needs another good review but here it is anyway. Really hard to find something to complain about other than my own play. Even with the insane amount of rain this was an awesome experience for me,my wife and my son. I have been playing golf here (Hilton Head)on vacations for 20 years, really wish I had tried this one sooner. Go play here you will be writing the next good review.
Hello. We are beyond happy to hear you and your wife enjoyed a great day at our course. Positive experiences make lifelong golfers. We look forward to many good times ahead with you both.

Fabulous layout!!!
Hilton Head National ought to be at or very near the top of the list for any golfer visiting Hilton Head! Great course conditions, and a very challenging layout. I really look forward to teeing it up here. (I’m still celebrating making par at 18, a first for me.)

Good shape but lots of construction noise
Course and greens are in great shape. New RV park along beginning of back 9 made it seem like different course. Noisy but still fun to play.

Course was in very good condition. Greens were extremely fast making putting extremely difficult. Watch out for that 18th green. Don’t hit long. Stay in the fairways, the rough will make course difficult & eat up balls. Really enjoyed course. Staff was very friendly & helpful. Great course.

It was a very nice course. Staff is friendly and they also have junior rate for kids under 16 for $25 per round. Speed on the green is reasonable.

Hello, Alysiab. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. Sending golfers out at their designated start time is part of that effort as is stated in your reservation confirmation. On your play date, we had a full tee sheet and were unable to accommodate an earlier tee-off time for advanced arrivals. We are sorry this policy was not your expectation, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future. Thanks for choosing Hilton Head National Golf Club.
