the course is more sporty than challenging. Not long, but, still offers some issues off the tee. yUou ha e wosth to play, but mist choose correctly. the greens, are the showstopper. they are like a raised Wavy Lays potato chip. controlling you spin and distance is the key.

The course itself is always in fantastic shape. You can really tell they take pride in the conditioning — lush fairways, pure greens, and those Lowcountry sand dunes and native grasses perfectly blended throughout the layout.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s scenery rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Scenery is the scenery score golfers give when they log a round. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs scenery ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Hilton Head Island, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
