Harbour Town's lighthouse, the Palmetto Dunes lagoons, an ocean-view round at Sea Pines, and four nights on one of the most beautiful islands in the South. Hilton Head is the rare destination where you can play world-class golf in the morning and have your toes in the sand by 4 PM.
Day-by-Day
Day
1
1
Arrive + Warm-Up at Shipyard
Fly into Savannah/Hilton Head (SAV) — 45-minute drive over the bridge — or HHH if you can route through it
Check into Sea Pines or a beachfront rental — most of the trip is on or near the island
Afternoon: Shipyard Golf Club — George Cobb's classic 27-holer through the pines. Relaxed pace, excellent conditions, and the right way to ease into the island.
Dinner in Sea Pines — Charleston-quality seafood without leaving the property
💡 Shipyard is the steal of the island — most groups skip it for the marquee names. Play it early when you're loosening up; you'll be glad you saved the spend for Harbour Town tomorrow.

Harbour Town — The Day
Morning: Harbour Town Golf Links — Pete Dye's masterpiece, annual home of the RBC Heritage, and one of the most distinctive layouts in golf. The 18th into the lighthouse is the postcard.
Lunch at the Quarterdeck overlooking the marina
Take the afternoon off — beach, pool, or wander the lighthouse and marina shops
Sunset drink at the Quarterdeck, then dinner at the Salty Dog or one of Sea Pines' restaurants
💡 Don't backload Harbour Town. Play it fresh on Day 2 — you want full energy for the lighthouse 18th and the Calibogue Sound views. The property earns a half-day off afterward.

Palmetto Dunes + Sea Pines
Morning: Palmetto Dunes — Robert Trent Jones Course — eleven holes border lagoons and the par-3 10th plays straight to the ocean. The most iconic Palmetto Dunes layout.
Quick lunch at the clubhouse
Afternoon: Sea Pines — Atlantic Dunes by Davis Love III — the most oceanside layout on the island after the 2016 Love renovation. Beach views and Lowcountry beauty at peak.
Sunset on the beach — you earned it
💡 These are the two most photogenic resort rounds on Hilton Head. If your crew is debating RTJ vs. the Fazio at Palmetto Dunes, RTJ wins for first-timers — it's the more memorable round.

Bluffton Send-Off + Fly Home
Short drive to Bluffton (about 20 minutes off-island)
Morning: Hilton Head National Golf Club — Gary Player Signature with rolling terrain rare for the Lowcountry, excellent conditioning, and great value compared to the on-island marquee names.
One last marsh-view lunch
Fly out of SAV
💡 Hilton Head National is one of the best 'leaving day' rounds on the island — easy to swing through on your way to the airport, and it gives the trip a strong finish without breaking the bank.
