A COURSE WITH MORE THAN ONE PERSONALITY

Designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1986, the 18-hole course moves between wooded corridors and more open stretches of Lowcountry terrain. Strategic bunkering, water, changing angles and elevated greens create a round that asks different questions from hole to hole, while pine forest, freshwater lagoons, marshland and Skull Creek give the course its unmistakable Hilton Head setting.

Holes: 18 Yards: 6919 Par: 72 Rating: 75.60 Slope: 147 Built: 1986

1st Hole

Par 4 · 398

Pro’s Tip:

With bunkers guarding both sides of the fairway, the opening hole immediately tests a players accuracy. On the approach, the green is also protected on both sides by sand.

Tee 1: 398

Tee 2: 365

Tee 3: 335

Tee 4: 315

Tee 5: 310

Tee 6: 310

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 413

Pro’s Tip:

Players will want to take their drive down the left side to avoid the fairway bunker and out-of-bounds on the right. The approach shot typically requires an extra club to the elevated green.

Tee 1: 413

Tee 2: 393

Tee 3: 364

Tee 4: 340

Tee 5: 336

Tee 6: 286

3rd Hole

Par 3 · 166

Pro’s Tip:

The first par 3 on the front nine, a shot to carry the water with a bail out area on the right side. Be careful of the bunkers long and the tricky slope on the green.

Tee 1: 166

Tee 2: 156

Tee 3: 130

Tee 4: 120

Tee 5: 104

Tee 6: 94

4th Hole

Par 4 · 431

Pro’s Tip:

This long dogleg left par 4 demands both length and accuracy from players. Favoring the right side off the tee, while avoiding the two fairway bunkers, will set up the best approach angle.

Tee 1: 431

Tee 2: 407

Tee 3: 384

Tee 4: 339

Tee 5: 334

Tee 6: 334

5th Hole

Par 4 · 358

Pro’s Tip:

The fifth is the shortest par 4 on the front side, but is rated the hardest for women and third hardest for men. Water protects the front of the green and will punish anything short.

Tee 1: 358

Tee 2: 338

Tee 3: 326

Tee 4: 306

Tee 5: 301

Tee 6: 250

6th Hole

Par 5 · 491

Pro’s Tip:

The first par 5 on the golf course features water down most of the right side. Longer players have a chance to reach the green in two. Those who lay-up will want to do so to the 100 yard marker to take the oak tree on the left out of play.

Tee 1: 491

Tee 2: 467

Tee 3: 461

Tee 4: 455

Tee 5: 450

Tee 6: 396

7th Hole

Par 3 · 171

Pro’s Tip:

This par 3 is another one that places a premium on accuracy over length. The smart play here is to aim at the center of the green and miss left to avoid the water.

Tee 1: 171

Tee 2: 143

Tee 3: 133

Tee 4: 108

Tee 5: 103

Tee 6: 103

8th Hole

Par 5 · 518

Pro’s Tip:

This well-bunkered par 5 offers players a great opportunity to make birdie. The key is to avoid the large bunkers guarding the putting surface.

Tee 1: 518

Tee 2: 496

Tee 3: 487

Tee 4: 430

Tee 5: 425

Tee 6: 360

9th Hole

Par 4 · 433

Pro’s Tip:

The final hole on the front nine is a long and narrow par 4. Players who make par here should be happy.

Tee 1: 433

Tee 2: 410

Tee 3: 398

Tee 4: 353

Tee 5: 347

Tee 6: 299

10th Hole

Par 4 · 423

Pro’s Tip:

The back nine opens with one of the most demanding tee shots on the golf course. The landing area features a punishing bunker on the left and water on the right. A two-tiered green awaits and will challenge even the best of putters.

Tee 1: 423

Tee 2: 396

Tee 3: 388

Tee 4: 325

Tee 5: 320

Tee 6: 284

11th Hole

Par 3 · 184

Pro’s Tip:

Players ought to take an extra club to hit the green on this par 3.

Tee 1: 184

Tee 2: 178

Tee 3: 151

Tee 4: 117

Tee 5: 115

Tee 6: 115

12th Hole

Par 5 · 575

Pro’s Tip:

The par 5, twelfth hole is the Country Club of Hilton Head’s signature. It features spectacular views of the Intracoastal Waterway and is the highest point on Hilton Head Island, measuring 28.24 feet above sea level.

Tee 1: 575

Tee 2: 540

Tee 3: 511

Tee 4: 415

Tee 5: 410

Tee 6: 410

13th Hole

Par 4 · 438

Pro’s Tip:

Fairway bunkers on the left and out-of-bounds on the right frames the tee shot on this par 4. Cutting the corner on the right is an option, which will make the hole play much shorter. The green on this hole is slightly elevated, so players will need to take a little more club than normal.

Tee 1: 438

Tee 2: 415

Tee 3: 401

Tee 4: 358

Tee 5: 353

Tee 6: 275

14th Hole

Par 3 · 185

Pro’s Tip:

The fourteenth is the final par 3 and, some who say, the best on the course. It requires a forced carry over a marsh to an elevated and narrow green that’s guarded by deep bunkers. Aiming for the center of the green is a smart play.

Tee 1: 185

Tee 2: 160

Tee 3: 152

Tee 4: 135

Tee 5: 70

Tee 6: 70

15th Hole

Par 4 · 378

Pro’s Tip:

This hole is a slightly uphill dogleg right par 4. The approach shot tends to require an extra club to an elevated green.

Tee 1: 378

Tee 2: 358

Tee 3: 351

Tee 4: 330

Tee 5: 328

Tee 6: 328

16th Hole

Par 4 · 376

Pro’s Tip:

The dogleg left par 4, sixteenth is next. Players will need to take an extra club into the elevated green. There’s often a left-to-right wind up by the green coming off of Spring Lake.

Tee 1: 376

Tee 2: 373

Tee 3: 358

Tee 4: 344

Tee 5: 342

Tee 6: 296

17th Hole

Par 4 · 402

Pro’s Tip:

This par 4 features an incredibly demanding tee shot from the blue and gold tees. When the tees are set forward, it’s definitely a chance for late birdie.

Tee 1: 402

Tee 2: 392

Tee 3: 286

Tee 4: 275

Tee 5: 273

Tee 6: 273

18th Hole

Par 5 · 579

Pro’s Tip:

The closing hole is a long dogleg right par 5. Players will want to avoid the fairway bunker on the right. A two-tiered green awaits and will reward an approach shot that lands on the correct level.

Tee 1: 579

Tee 2: 556

Tee 3: 546

Tee 4: 470

Tee 5: 462

Tee 6: 386

BUILT AROUND VARIETY

The front and back nines do not ask you to play the same round twice. Tree-lined holes give way to more open Lowcountry views, while doglegs, bunkering, water and changes in elevation reward positioning as much as distance. It is the kind of course that reveals more of itself the more often you play it.

THE VIEW FROM NO. 12

The par-5 12th brings together the course’s Lowcountry setting and one of Hilton Head Island’s most unusual landmarks. From the island’s highest natural elevation, the hole opens to views of Skull Creek and the Intracoastal Waterway before playing toward a green protected by strategically placed bunkers.
