Hilton Head National Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Sprawling across 300 acres of lush, Carolina Lowcountry, Hilton Head National Golf Club has gained a reputation as being one of the area's best public courses. The course was a collaboration between Gary Player and Bobby Weed, who each designed a nine. Weed designed the front nine with the intention of creating a complement to the Player-designed back nine rather than making them too similar. He included larger greens with more dramatic undulations. The signature hole is the tricky sixth, which features the largest lake on the golf course bordering its entire right side and deep pot bunkers along the greensides. The back nine has many challenging holes as well, including the course's number one handicap hole, the par-5 seventh. It is the ninth that might be Hilton Head National's toughest though, with a deep marsh along the right side of a narrow fairway.

Much better than I expected!
I really enjoyed the course. The course is challenging but not too difficult. It was in great shape for late November. It wasn’t crowded and the pace of play was very good. The course exceeded my expectations. It is one of the nicest courses in the Hilton Head area.
Amazing
Even after several days of rain the course was excellent. Love the layout and that the wind kept the players away :-)
We played in 3h20min

Course was fine in all respects.
I have a concern/request for reimbursement.
In error I was charged a convenience booking fee of $26.74 twice.
Staff at HHN were unable to reimburse me and suggested I contact GolfNow for reimbursement.
I am requesting that you do so now. I have proof of the double charge which I will send to GolfNow upon request.
Please acknowledge receipt of this communication.

Can't go wrong
Had my annual guys trip the week for Oct 21 to the 25th and Hilton Head National was course #3 we played. All 8 golfers agreed that this was tied with RTJ at Palmetto Dunes for best overall course. The price made it the best value. Condition was great and the time of play was much better that Palmetto Dunes. It was a fair course for the whole group as it was fair off the tee and if you put the ball in the fairway as usual you had a better day. Greens were quick but not crazy. Enjoyed it so much that My Wife and I had guests down during Veterans day weekend and brought them over to Hilton Head National to play and our guest fully enjoyed the course and the round and the pace of play was great 3:40 minutes, as we got out earlier than the later crowd looking to play in the warmer part of the day. They also were gracious to charge them as guests since my Wife and I had just become residents in Hilton Head.

Very solid
Beautiful layout with free range turkeys and Fox squirrels and deer (and gators too)!
Fair course with nice mix of risk reward holes and holes for scoring if you hit them straight.
Staff is top notch and gives the kind of Southern hospitality you’d expect but don’t always find at Hilton Head courses.
Will play again and bring my family.
National and Oyster Reef are now my two favs to play on the island.

Fabulous Hilton Head National
Hilton Head National is such a great course. It is in fantastic shape and the greens are the best around, true and fast. The layout is beautiful and it offers a good challenge. This is the 2nd time we have played the course and look forward to the next time already! Don't miss it if you are going to Hilton Head.

Best course I've played in HH this year
I like to break my reviews into segments
LAYOUT: I consider HH National a 'big' course. It's got big fairways and greens and can play long. It's not what I'd call narrow. And there aren't ton of fairway bunkers. Green complexes are very modern with swells and ridges, but not extreme. Just enough to make you think twice but not scare you to death. Good combination of long and short, easy and hard. Some risk reward holes as well. So very enjoyable layout.
Conditions: I've played this before last year at the same time. This course is what I'd call pristine. The fairways are full and cut low enough where you don't need to move the ball. Didn't have to move it once. Rough is difficult but not unfair . And there is a very clear mark between fairway and rough. Greens areas are mowed down and good for chipping. Sand is perfect. Greens are very nice. Roll probably 10.5 to 11 .....maybe. very smooth. The over all conditions reminded me of a course you'd see pros play. Best place I've played this time at HH.
Value: Still $90 is not chump change, but I feel for the conditions, it's meets all the criteria for that kind of fee.

I am very picky with my course conditions
The greens were pure. Running about 11. Condition were very good for the price. Nice layout. Very playable. Greens are on the big size but not a lot of huge breaks. Subtle to read but I like the challenge as a 3 hdcp. If ever back in HHI will definitely come back.
Hello, and thank you for reviewing the course. We're glad to hear you liked the course conditions as much as the challenge. Your feedback about the price of our course is important to us.

Thank you for playing @HiltonHeadNational. We hope to see you again soon.
