About
The first-ever teaming of Jack Nicklaus and his son, Jack Nicklaus II, The Golf Club at Indigo Run is designed in a classic style that hearkens back to "Golden Age" creations like Pine Valley, Shinnecock Hills and Augusta National. Named one of the Top Ten Private Courses of 1996 by Golf Digest, The Golf Club course is reserved exclusively for members and their guests.
The Hilton Head Island course features 7,110 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course rating is 74.5, and it has a slope rating of 138 on Bermuda grass.
In addition to 18 holes of championship golf, The Golf Club also boasts a complete Nicklaus-designed practice facility that offers every shot-making opportunity found on the golf course.
The Golf Cottage is a Scottish tradition, which has been recreated in the woodlands of the Low country. The elaborate clubhouse opened in the fall of 1999.

Very nice layout, tight in places.
Friend of mine and I went down to HH to play 3 courses. Indigo was day 2. Also played Club at Savannah Harbor and Hilton Head Country Club.
Indigo run is the private course, the Golden Bear at Indigo Run next door. Indigo was in great condition, greens rolled true, fairways were excellent and tee boxes were pretty good. Sand was well maintained, little fluffy. Nice range and a good size putting green. Guy in the pro shop was also the starter but it was not crazy busy so no big deal. No rangers either, but did not really need them. Lay out was nice, tight in places, but fair. Enjoyable day out.
Not Worth Your Time
Greens were great but everything in between was awful. For just a few dollars more you can play much better courses here in the Hilton Head Area.
Fun course!
The course was in great shape, but the greens were too slow on this visit. Not sure why greens were so slow as other courses we played were much quicker, maybe just the old bermuda type greens. Staff was very nice as all our visits and the course over all is a fun track.
Excellent Option if You Can Get On
Outstanding layout. Plenty of room off tees but still very strong challenge. Approaches are tricky with kidney shaped greens and great bunkering and hazards. Plays very fair yet very interesting. Staff was great, facilities are excellent. Highly recommended.

Having played the Golden Bear course (next door), I'd love to play this course.
Do you have any advice, or a contact that would be able to help secure a tee time.
Thanks
