Two of the finest golf courses in Hilton Head are available to members of Colleton River Plantation, the Pete Dye course and Jack Nicklaus course.
Though it's the Nicklaus Course that receives a little more ink in national golf magazines, the newer Dye Course is arguably a more-stunning piece of land, featuring more holes overlooking the beautiful Port Royal Sound on the cusp of the Atlantic Ocean.
The front nine plays mostly through dense forest before opening up on the ninth hole. The back side is a sight to behold, as it plays on a wide-open setting ushering in more of a links-type feel. When Colleton River Plantation officials met with Dye recently, they were shocked when he told them it was the best golf course he ever built.
