Oh Man, what a loooong weekend filled with golf and friendship. We had a great time. I will get some pictures, and a run down of the courses written up soon. It was such a tiring weekend of staying up late and getting up early.

This is awesome, I'm heading there in the spring for a family vacation.  We were going to do Sanibel in FL this fall, but with the red tide issues going on it's not a place my youngest son can go visit.  So Hilton Head in the spring it is.

Not sure if I'll get to golf or not yet, but at best it's gonna be one round with rental clubs.  So if you have a recommendation I'll be watching this thread.

Of the courses we played, the best for the money was Old South. Nice layout, solid course. 

If money doesn’t matter, go to Harbour Town, get a tee time that lets you finish near sunset, beautiful time of day to finish that course. 

Not sure on the full rack rate since we did a 36 hole day and did a same day play so we didn’t pay full cost,  but the Robert Trent Jones course at Plametto dunes was very good. 

Hope this helps. 

I am hoping to get a full write up of all the courses we played, and post some photos of them tonight. Maybe tomorrow. Since coming home I have been on the honey-do list so I haven’t had much time to sit down and write something up

Was there like 3 weeks ago played:

The Club at Savannah Harbor
Old South
Hilton Head National
Golden Bear
Atlantic Dunes
Heron Point

Everyone in the group really enjoyed Atlantic Dunes and I agree with Kor that Old South was best for the money and a really fun layout too. I would skip The Club at Savannah Harbor and Golden Bear. The Club is fine, but a little over priced for what it is and Golden Bear was in the sketchiest condition.

Alright, finally have time to sit down and write about the golf trip. 

We started early Friday morning at Palmetto Dunes, Fazio course, the staff was really nice and helped us get started without any problems.  It was actually the coldest morning we’ve played golf since late March, so the temps were pretty good, low 60’s, the issue was the 20 mph wind. We played the tips, 6873 yards, par 70 at sea level, so it played pretty long. There were 8 par 4’s over 400 yards. Many of them into the wind, I hit the ball okay, but struggled on the greens. The greens were zoysia, and apparently this time of year is no good for that type of grass, it was very bumpy and slow, you could not roll the ball at all. The were some awesome holes out there, but the 17th hole par 3 was visually a nightmare, you had to hit across a 30 foot wide river at a diagonal,  it was playing 215 from the tips with a cross wind, it is a large green, but you could only see part of it as there were trees to left of the green, it was a really cool hole. The course was laid out pretty good, but the cool air, and wind made this a bit more challenging, but still a fun course except the greens where terrible. I guess I didn’t get any good photos from the Fazio course.

PALMETTO DUNES RTJ

round 2 on Friday, we got there early and had lunch between rounds, very nice restaurant here, the staff very accommodating. Checking into for our round, the staff was very helpful in pointing us to where we needed to go, and helping with bags and carts and such. I didn’t play the tips here, I easily could have but the guys I was playing with were playing up a set, so since it’s more of a fun buddy trip, I joined them up one tee box. It played 6570, par 72. The wind was down, and the temps were perfect 75 and sunny, again I struck the ball well but just didn’t score very good. This course was really good, the layout is nice especially the back 9, very nice scenery here as well. Challenging course yet fair, there are some holes where local knowledge will be helpful, but all in all a great golf course, I would recommend this one to play. Excellent place. I’m the last picture here there is a little deer that came out to join us.

Sea Pines resort

Harbour Town 

after 2 rounds on Friday, it was good to have the morning off before This round. We arrived 2 hours early for shopping, a bite to eat, and just to be able to soak it all in for the experience. Then we hit balls on the range, and then putting green. Forecaddies are required for play here, so we were assigned and older gentleman named Grif, what a great guy. Awesome to interact with, very knowledgable, he played golf at Alabama back in the day. So off we went on the course, and what a beautiful course this is. Watching on TV you think you know the layout, and scenery, but it is so different in person. I really enjoyed this golf course. I struck the ball well again, but didn’t score well again, but it didn’t matter, we got to play an awesome course with great friends. Our tee time of 2 pm put us smack dab on 17 and 18 right at sunset, you couldn’t ask for a more stoic scene, absolutely gorgeous coming down 18, the photos I have show ok, but  the stillness of the evening, and the beauty of what it is. Priceless.

More Harbour Town photos.

 

I forgot to add in the other post. One of my buddies on this trip shot a 70 here at Harbour Town. I was very cool to have a good friend do that. What a great score for him at a place like this.

Round 4.  Old South. Everyone was exhausted and sore. We all agreed, no more 36 hole days. 1 round per day going forward. 

This course is a must play if you go to HHI. For the Money it was hands down the best value, and a very nice golf course as well, some quirky holes, but all in all a great track. This round was pretty much a blur, it was like we were just hitting golf balls because we paid our money and didn’t want to leave, but it was Golf at very nice place, we finally saw some gators as well. I got pretty close to a couple of them, maybe too close, but for some reason, I didn’t seem scared. Anyway, more photos
