About this course

Hilton Head National Golf Club sits in Bluffton, South Carolina, just inland from Hilton Head Island in the Lowcountry region. Bobby Weed designed the course, which opened in the late 1980s and reflects his approach to working with the area's natural wetlands, pine forests, and tidal marshes. The routing takes advantage of the property's varied terrain, moving through stands of mature hardwoods and along corridors framed by native vegetation. Water features prominently throughout the layout, both as strategic hazards and as part of the coastal landscape character. The course plays as a daily-fee facility and serves both visitors to the Hilton Head area and local golfers. Weed's design incorporates generous landing areas off the tee while requiring thoughtful approach play to greens protected by bunkers and water. The back nine in particular features several holes that run alongside or over wetland areas, creating risk-reward decisions on both tee shots and approaches. The property's natural setting provides a quieter, more secluded feel compared to some of the resort courses on Hilton Head Island itself. Hilton Head National operates as an accessible option in a region known for its concentration of golf courses, offering a layout that emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest. The course benefits from the Lowcountry's mild climate, allowing for year-round play, and the clubhouse provides standard amenities typical of daily-fee facilities in the area.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Hilton Head National Golf Club begin at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport, a straightforward forty-minute drive north across the South Carolina Lowcountry. The route traces the May River corridor through Bluffton's moss-draped live oaks and tidal marshlands, gradually leaving the commercial sprawl of Highway 278 behind for the quieter, more refined environs of the greater Hilton Head area. As you turn onto the club's tree-canopied entrance road, the transition is immediate - from the bustle of a resort island's periphery to the hushed, meticulously groomed sanctuary that defines this members' retreat.
