Three legendary layouts. One celebrated resort. Palmetto Dunes has long been regarded as Hilton Head Island's best golf experience.

Enjoy the ultimate golf experience when you tee off at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort. At this world-class resort, exceptional golf results from taking a beautiful natural setting on a coastal sea island, engaging three legendary golf architects to create challenging masterpieces, and infusing the entire golf program with a lasting commitment to quality and customer service.

These elements have enabled Palmetto Dunes to rise above every other golf course destination in the Southeast and made it one of the premier golfing destinations on Hilton Head Island.  Palmetto Dunes offers vacationers a choice of three superb golf courses, each one unparalleled in design, and yet distinctly different and challenging. Travelers who have enjoyed premier golf vacations at other resorts understand that Palmetto Dunes offers a unique and truly world-class golfing experience.

The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course, completely renovated not long ago at a cost of $3 million, was rated among the best courses in the Southeast by readers of Golfweek magazine. Its signature hole, the par-five 10th, offers a sweeping and breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean. This stellar hole has the distinction of being one of only two oceanfront holes on Hilton Head Island.

The George Fazio Course is regarded by many golfers as the island’s most challenging championship course. Designed by famed golf architect George Fazio, it is ranked among America’s top 100 courses and stands apart as the only par-70 course on the island.

The Arthur Hills Course offers a careful blend of beauty and challenge. Built on a series of rolling dunes, the Arthur Hills Course presents many opportunities for off-balance lies. Stands of palm trees and palmettos line the graceful fairway. Ocean breezes add to the challenge. The importance of precision play is amplified by 10 holes on the water.

Golf legends Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson honed their skills on the Arthur Hills Course when both were college athletes. The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course has been named the “Golf Course of the Year” in South Carolina by the South Carolina Board of Directors of the National Golf Course Owners Association.

Golf for Women honored Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort by placing it among the top “25 Best Family Golf Resorts in the Nation.” Fodor’s Golf Digest bestowed four stars on all three world-class courses. And Golf magazine awarded Palmetto Dunes a Silver Medal and named it one of the Country’s Top 75 Resorts.

Golf Digest honored Palmetto Dunes’ Arthur Hills and George Fazio courses as other great options in playing the “highest-ranked public courses on the pros’ circuit” in the Tour tracks section of the April 2008 issue.

Hilton Head Monthly highlighted Palmetto Dunes Resort as one of Hilton Head Island’s ultimate resort in customer service in the April 2008 issue. “A new marketing campaign, branding strategy and expanded menu of resort services, has given this award-winning resort a new life and fresh perspective as it moves into the 21st-century travel market.”
