Type Semi-Private
Par 72
Length 6919 yards
Slope 143
Rating 75.2

The Country Club of Hilton Head rambles over a variety of terrain, including rolling, open expanses, pine and oak woodlands and freshwater ponds and marshlands. Each hole is distinctive, as a golfer must negotiate water hazards, contoured fairways, pot bunkers and sculpted bunkers, and grass hollows.This facility features constant elevation tees, landing areas and greens, as well as the only punch bowl-shaped green in the area. The Country Club of Hilton Head layout also features 3 doglegs, undulating and tiered greens and two par-5's that stretch more than 575 yards in length. An excellent, fair test of golf for all skill levels.

Outstanding Condition

Only negative about this course was pace of play:. 4:20. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Course was in immaculate condition. In spite of being in a community, the presence of houses was understated, and the course was aesthetically pleasing. Layout was challenging but not overwhelming. Greens were fast and true. After the first nine, several groups dropped out, and we were able to determine that a foursome ahead of our twosome was responsible for the tedious pace. They seemed oblivious to the fact that others were also on the course. In fairness, we didn't complain. Rather, we looked for alligators (only saw two) and balls. Can't rate other amenities because they were closed by the time we were done. Best-conditioned of the four courses we played on this visit to HHI. Since all have been above average, this is high praise.

Golf in Hilton Head

Terrific course on peaceful setting. Par 5, 12th hole is a post card for sure. Greens in great shape. Would definitely play again and recommend to anyone in Hilton Head.

What a Treat!

Course was in excellent condition - greens, fairways and tee boxes. Many doglegs and penalty areas, mainly water. Plus OB stakes are prominent. But fairways are wide so keeping it in play is not too hard. Played in 4 hours on an afternoon. Will definitely play again on next visit to HHI.

An excellent value

Staff was very welcoming, introduced my playing partners. 2 members and a guest. From the opening tee shot to the last putt, the course was a pleasure. The sand in the bunkers was consistent and maintained. The greens were excellent. Rolled true and speed the same from green to green. Pace of play was very good. On a busy fall morning played in less than 4 1/2 hrs. Worth a return visit.

Very nice course

I only played the nine due to some back problems I've experienced lately, but really I liked the course. Cart area personnel were courteous and helpful,. But the clubhouse desk attendant was abrupt and disrespectful, and there was no starter at the first tee as he had been told me. This posed a big problem after my play, as the starter is supposed to record cart numbers. I inadvertently left my cell phone in the cart when done, and the search for it took almost an hour, since my cart number had not been recorded.

Value is questionable for price

I like to break my reviews down into segments

LAYOUT:
It's a very challenging layout. There are quite a few holes with hidden water off the fairways and within doglegs. You have to be cautious off the tee. Many doglegs and the greens are well protected. Not any easy course to get up and down from. Many holes are heavily wooded and have well placed bunkers , so driving is key.

Conditions: Over-all conditions were very good. So will nit pick a bit. The fairways are full of grass. A lot. So much so that you can actually have grain facing into your approach shot. And they are soft and spongy so not much roll. Traps have nice sand in them. Greens were fabulous! Best I played on in HH so far. Rolled probably 10.5 to 11. 100% true!

Value. Paid $100. For that money I would expect the course to be a little more pristine than it was. Fairways were not tight. Crab grass in rough creeping into fairways. Not that it affected play because it didn't. Just not what you'd expect from a place called Country Club of Hilton Head. But greens really make up from any of these short comings.

Fantastic!

What a course! It all started when I got to the course. The staff was very helpful and friendly and very accommodating. The practice facility is second to none on the island. The greens are absolutely perfect! Roll true and very fast! This will be on my list to play whenever I get the chance. Great layout.

A definite must play for all golfers

Top notch

One of the top courses I’ve ever played around Hilton Head. It poured down rain right as we went to tee off and then rained off and on throughout the round but the course drained extremely well. Tee boxes, fairways, and the rough were all in excellent shape. Bunkers weren’t bad either for how much rain we had gotten while we were there. The greens were something else. Lightning fast and they rolled so smooth. Maybe the best greens I’ve ever played on. The layout of the course is unique in a good way. A lot of dog legs and the landing areas and greens were fairly well protected by bunkers. Challenging but fair layout and no two holes were really the same. There’s some good views on the back 9. The staff inside and outside were excellent. I’ve been coming to Hilton Head for vacation 15+ years now, playing golf a few times every trip and this is one course we’ll try to play almost every trip now.
