Ahh, Fall is in the air, and so are birdies and eagles. We’re not just talking great Blue Herons and White Egrets [you’ll see plenty of those too], we’re talking sticking greens and sinking putts. We’re talking golf. Yes, Hilton Head Island has courses that will test the nerve and skill of everyone from scratch golfers to high handicappers, so whether you can grip it and rip it or just making contact makes you happy this island will have you calling, FORE!!
1. There are over 40 courses on the island alone. Many of them are world-class tracks such as Atlantic Dunes in Sea Pines Resort, which was named among the "Top 100 Resorts in the World" 2024-25 by GOLF Magazine. Or the Robert Trent Jones course—one of three Championship courses in Palmetto Dunes—that is considered to be one of the best golf courses in the Southeast, and named by Golf Week as one of the “Best Resort Golf Courses” in 2018. And let’s not forget Harbour Town Golf Links in Sea Pines Resort. The course that put Hilton Head Island on the map, and more than 60 years later, it remains one of the most revered courses in the world. Home to the RBC Heritage Presented by Boeing, South Carolina’s PGA TOUR event, this distinguished course puts your game to the ultimate test while taking your breath away with its unsurpassed natural island setting.
2. It’s been said that golf is a good walk spoiled, but with weather like this it’s not! In September and October, the average temperatures in Hilton Head Island are mild and comfortable. Plus the sun is usually shining with only 5 days of rain on average each month. Golfer or not, it doesn’t get much nicer than that!
3. It’s never been easier to Fall break yourself and your clubs to Hilton Head. There are more non-stop flights than ever before to Savannah Hilton Head Airport [SAV] Savannah / Hilton Head Island International Airport. Plus, with the runway extension at Hilton Head Island Airport [HHH] there are a lot of new carriers and flights. Along with current flights from Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, and Washington DC, you will want to check with your favorite airline on a full list of direct flights for easy travel so you can spend less time traveling and more time golfing and vacationing.
4. There’s so much to do and enjoy beyond golf. Gasp! Yep, we said it. There’s more to life on Hilton Head Island than golf. Look we love a good 36 holes in a row as much as the next guy or gal, but there’s so much to do on this island. Let’s start with the 12 miles of beach–from riding the waves to building sandcastles to doing absolutely nothing at all, there’s endless other island fun to be had. Bird watching to birdie scoring [ok, we couldn’t resist another golf reference!] Seafood to sea cruises. Speaking of seafood, after a round of golf, you may want to pick up some Lowcountry Boil in a bucket at the new Sweetwater Steamer. They provide all the ingredients for you to have your own authentic Lowcountry Boil in the comfort of your vacation rental home! There is also Jet skiing to zip lining. Dolphin watching to fishing. Shopping to shelling. No other location has this unique blend of all the upscale amenities and activities one could want balanced with an idyllic, natural coastal habitat.
