There’s golf… and then there’s golf on Hilton Head Island. Known as America’s Golf Island, this Lowcountry paradise blends legendary course design, coastal beauty, and Southern hospitality into one unforgettable destination.

Across 26 championship courses spanning Hilton Head Island, Bluffton, and Beaufort, the game unfolds among salt marshes, moss-draped oaks, and ocean breezes that whisper through the palmettos. It’s easy to see why icons like Robert Trent Jones, Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and Davis Love III all left their mark here.

Whether you’re planning a buddies’ golf escape, a couples’ retreat, or a family adventure, Hilton Head Island offers golf 365 days a year under endless Carolina skies. The region’s ideal year-round climate—with warm springs, mild winters, and balmy summer days—means every season is golf season.

And when the round is done? Trade your spikes for flip-flops and dive into award-winning dining, beautiful beaches, and 50+ miles of scenic bike paths. Charter a fishing boat, play a sunset pickleball match, or simply savor an evening cocktail as the tide rolls in.

The PGA TOUR’s Favorite Getaway

Hilton Head’s reputation for world-class golf is legendary, thanks to the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing, played annually at Harbour Town Golf Links since 1969. As one of the TOUR’s most beloved stops, it embodies everything special about Hilton Head Island—laid-back luxury, Southern charm, and the unmistakable silhouette of the Harbour Town Lighthouse standing guard over the 18th green.

After your own round, follow the pros’ lead: relive the day’s best shots over seafood and stories at one of the island’s acclaimed restaurants, or gather friends for a quiet evening watching the sunset melt into the Calibogue Sound.

Stay. Play. Relax. Repeat.

From luxury beachfront resorts and private villa rentals to boutique inns and trusted hotel brands, Hilton Head Island offers accommodations for every type of traveler. Wake up steps from the fairway—or the ocean—and create your perfect golf getaway your way.

Every stay pairs naturally with the rhythm of island life: early tee times, lazy afternoons, and long evenings that linger well past sunset.
