The Golf Courses of Sea Pines Plantation

Atlantic Dunes – Hilton Head’s first golf course was built in 1962 to lure dedicated golfers – and it hasn’t lost its appeal. Set in the heart of Sea Pines Plantation amidst towering oaks and stately pines, this layout was recently redesigned by Davis Love III.

Heron Point – Formerly the Marsh Course, in 2007 this layout received a complete remake from legendary designer Pete Dye.

Harbour Town Golf Links – “Masterpiece” is the perfect word to describe this piece of golf perfection. Here, beside the lovely shores of the Calibogue Sound, lies this world-class golf course that Pete Dye, in consultation with Jack Nicklaus, designed in 1969. “Unique” is another word that depicts this layout. The home of the PGA Tour’s “Heritage of Golf” Classic.
