Hilton Head National Golf Club
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.

Highly recommended
Excellent conditions tees through greens, especially the smooth true fairly fast greens. The course is quite wide open and forgiving, in part because the areas under the trees are very well blown clear of leaves. This was helpful to those of us who pulled or sliced tee balls a little more often than we would have hoped to. Lastly, they are very friendly, helpful, and professional. I was absent-minded enough to leave my lob wedge on # 14, but couldn't recall when I had last played it (rarely used), so one of the staff drove the last several holes until he found it on # 14. What a great guy, and staff!

Always solid
Stopped in for a round on my way from Kiawah to Florida. This is one of my favorite courses anywhere. It’s always in good shape. Even when it’s crowded the pace of play is decent. The greens are great. Some of the smoothest I’ve ever played. And quick in a nice smooth way. I will say that the fairways had not been overseeded this year. Only painted which is a bit of a disappointment. However the layout is awesome. It won’t beat you up. But the short holes are some of the most challenging. If you’re in the area it’s the best deal for your money around.
Good course, Good value for dollar
We really enjoyed the course. December in the Lowcountry is a special place. Great layout. Greens were in great shape. The course had a lot of rain for a few days before we played. The course dried out quite well. The bar staff was very friendly. Food was typical but decent. Didn't love the pro. Not very friendly
Always Solid
Hilton Head National is a must play when. In the area. I get down a time or 2 a year and play there each time. It’s a great layout. A lot of fun. Not overly long or hard but great fun. And it’s always in really good shape. The greens are some of the best anywhere. Smooth and a great pace. And the price is much better than most of the courses on the island. You can’t beat what you pay for here. Give it a try. You’ll be glad you did!
Great course
First time to Hilton Head and played this course based on prior reviews. Great value for the money and fun layout. Would recommend to others.
great conditions
The course was in great shape tee boxes to the greens. Fairways and rough just right. We played the blue tees and it was challenging but fair. Some great rewards if you are willing to take the chances.
Really Good Course, Especially enjoyed Back Nine, Great Value
My wife and I planned a week at HHI for vacation. Wanted to do the normal beach, tour, dinning, biking and of course golf; we live on a Champion Golf Course in Cary, NC, play regularly and wanted to try 3 or 4 “best value” courses. HH National was one of them. It exceeded our expectations, highly recommend and will come back again on our next vacation at HHI
Loved this course
Course in beautiful shape! Fun and challenging. Would play this course again and again!
Great Experience
My first time on this course and couldn't be more pleased. The course was in great condition, the greens were fast. Overall a fantastic course.
Hilton Head National hit it right down the Middle!
Really enjoyed the total experience there. The staff was friendly and attentive. The course was in great shape and enjoyed having the GPS built in on the cart. Highly recommend the only course in HH without a house on it!
Nice Round of Golf
Course was in excellent shape despite recent rains. Greens were in perfect condition. Enjoyed the course layout - challenging but not overly hard, some risk/reward holes. Staff was very friendly.
Great Experience
I played HH National on a rainy day. I thought the course would be sloppy but it had drained well and the conditions were great. Was cart path only but that was understandable. The rain kept most golfers away so I played as a single and finished 18 holes in just over 2 hours. A great experience all around. I’ll be back.
Must play in Hilton Head
The wife and I come to Hilton Head once a year for golf and beaches, hh national hh country club and bear creek are must plays
Must play in Hilton Head
Very nice course from clubhouse to greens, if you're in the area play this one.
Great time playing HHN
We really enjoyed this course. Pace of play was great. Starter was attentive and kept us informed about a slow group ahead of us. Will definitely play again on our next trip to HHI. The only slight complaint was the rough. A bit hard to get out of - stay out of that stuff. Lol!
