Featured Hilton Head Golf Course Stories

Avoracious reader and Ivy League educated lawyer, Charles E. Fraser was known for his tendency to preside over spirited intellectual debates. With that said, it’s hard to fathom how the founding father of The Sea Pines Resort could’ve convinced the PGA Tour to bring professional golf’s premier circuit to this tiny island community.

It’s an especially remarkable achievement when you consider that Hilton Head’s total population a little more than a dozen years prior to his deal with the Tour wasn’t too far off from the crowd you’ll find gathered around the 18th green on the weekend during this year’s Verizon Heritage.

Imagine watching the best golfers in the world in a climate-controlled atmosphere overlooking the 15th and 18th holes of the famed Harbour Town Golf Links.

That’s what golf fans who buy the new Arnold Palmer Pass can enjoy at the Verizon Heritage, April 14-18. Also included in this bargain for only $90 a day is an upscale buffet plus beer and wine. What more could a golfer want, unless its playing Harbour Town, too.

Whether the plan is to make memories on the links, the courts, the water or the beach, there is, in fact, no better time of year to visit Hilton Head Island than the fall and winter months. It’s an experience, however, that is only fully optimized by a stay at the Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, where golf is the most important thing, but by no means the only thing.
