Courses With Character
May River Golf Course
The private May River Golf Course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and is located at Montage Palmetto Bluff. Inviting for players of all skill levels, the private course features wide fairways and greens overlooking the course’s namesake river.
Tee boxes and fairways are outfitted in Paspalum, the newest eco-friendly turf. Warm-up at the state-of-the-art practice facility. The course challenges golfers mentally with abundant water and white-sand bunkers dominating your view, and undulating slopes demand both skill and patience.
Old South Golf Links
Known for its quality play and warm customer service, Old South Golf Links is located minutes from downtown Bluffton, just before the bridge to Hilton Head Island. The public course immerses you in surrounding marshes with views of the Intracoastal Waterway.
The many creatures who inhabit this natural area — wood storks, hawks, and deer — have become informal course mascots. Before or after your round, relax in The Southern Cafe that overlooks the lagoon.
Hilton Head National Golf Club
Hilton Head National Golf Club continues to garner accolades, consistently receiving “reader’s choice” honors from multiple Lowcountry publications. The public course touts several unusual characteristics. Hall of Famer Gary Player designed nine holes on the course, while former PGA TOUR design consultant Bobby Weed designed the other nine. The course is also free of residences, simply greens and nature. Of Hilton Head National, Player remarked: “It is truly a treat to be given 300 acres of the best tree-rich bottomland that I have ever seen.”
