Layout and Fairway Grass

The experience at GB was fantastic. The layout was fair and gettable. I played the gold tees (6150)which were too short for me, but played with some non frequent golfers so I moved up to keep pace of play. Finished round in 4 hours which I was expecting longer based on reviews I had read. Overseeded fairways were a joy, and that alone was worth the extra money to play the course (compared to others nearby). I can’t wait to play again from the longer tees (6650)

Great Course

The weather was Perfect. I played with a father & son from MI and they were great to play with. Staff was friendly and the course was in excellent shape for late March. The course was challenging but not too hard. I highly recommend the course and will be going back next year.

Perfect course for an afternoon round

We took our golf loving boys, ages 8 and 13, for an afternoon round of 9. The staff and service were wonderful- helpful and professional. The course was in great condition and pace of play was steady, but not at all stressful. We will definitely be back again soon!

I live in Hilton Head during the winter and spring

I was told that doesn’t qualify me for resident rates.

I pay taxes and utilities here but do not have a

Good value at discount rate

We booked our time after 2:00 for $65. A solid value compared to other courses. I don’t think it would feel the same at full price of $135. Course was in good condition but wouldn’t be worth the full price

Fantastic

First time we’ve visited HH, first course we played.

Great conditions and great attention to detail on turf and the course in general. Well done grounds crew!

$60 3pm tee time snuck us in before sunset. Slow play as to be expected.

A great deal compared to the next course we played (bear creek). Pick this one - it’s worth an extra $20+ or if similar prices for tee times.
