Featured Hilton Head Golf Course Stories

The anticipatory phrase “Are we there yet” elicits images of the prototypical American family vacation, a summer sojourn that begins and ends with a long day in the car. Sure, the sound of impatient children has in part been quelled thanks to the rise of text messaging, the proliferation of the iPod and the convenience offered by the portable DVD player, but spending hours in cramped quarters hasn’t necessarily become the equivalent of a deep tissue massage.

At Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, those excruciating hours spent on the Interstate uncomfortably stuffed in your automobile could be your last, at least until the end of your vacation.

Recently named the No. 1 “Family Resort” in the U.S. by Travel + Leisure magazine, Palmetto Dunes not only offers its guests dozens of diverse opportunities to relax, explore and indulge, the premier resort does so without requiring guests to go beyond its gates.

With the rise in junior golf and the growing demand for families to spend portions of the summer together on the links, Hilton Head has emerged as one of the most family-friendly golf excursions on the East Coast, and the island’s most recognizable resort is leading the way toward that distinction.

Home to some of the finest golf courses in the country, including the acclaimed Harbour Town Golf Links, the Sea Pines Resort offers up its 54 holes of golf to families seeking memorable moments and joint challenges every summer. From the creation of junior tees on its recently debuted Heron Point by Pete Dye course to special junior rates and instructional programs throughout the summer months, the resort is a natural choice for families looking to balance fun on the beaches and the water with excitement on the fairways and the greens.

From year-round golf buddy packages to winter snowbirdie getaways, Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort proudly offers the ultimate Hilton Head Island golf experience.

Golf accolades abound at this premier oceanfront resort. Fodor's Golf Digest bestowed four stars on all three courses, while Golf magazine awarded Palmetto Dunes a Silver Medal, honoring it as one of the country’s “Top 75 Resorts.” It’s no wonder visitors from across the country flock to Palmetto Dunes to tee off on some of the Lowcountry’s premier courses.
