When you find yourself on a sea coast island featuring more than 108 miles of paved multi-use paths and trails that wind their way from one end of paradise to the other, there’s only one thing to do: get on a bike and go for a ride! Rated as a Gold Level Bicycle Friendly Community by the American League of Bicyclists, Hilton Head Island is so easy to navigate you’ll probably wind up using a bike more than your car.

Put your game to the ultimate test at Harbour Town Golf Links at The Sea Pines Resort. It is both the crowning achievement of famed designer Pete Dye and design consultant Jack Nicklaus, and a perennial favorite among PGA TOUR players, as it places a premium on finesse, imagination and shot making, rather than strength.

Featuring a collection of par threes ranked amongst the world's finest and a par-4 18th hole considered one of the most feared in all of golf, Harbour Town Golf Links has undergone many recent enhancements, including new Celebration Bermuda grass for the fairways, new TifEagle Bermuda grass for the greens and a new irrigation system.

Designed by legendary course architect Pete Dye, Heron Point is the centerpiece of any Hilton Head Island golf vacation. Dye himself supervised Heron Point's recent modifications with the objective of making the course more player-friendly, and the result is an award-winning stroke of genius.

At 7,035 yards from the back tees, Heron Point can play considerably shorter if needed, with seven sets of tees on each hole (including tees for juniors). Golfers are challenged by risk-reward long and short holes, fairways that move toward and away from hazards and Dye's ubiquitous mounding and swales framing target areas.

On four holes with water guarding the greens, alternating wood and grass walls create conspicuous bulkheads, visually dramatizing the peril. Even more striking, a mixture of grasses, sand, mulch and limestone surfaces provides a vivid tapestry of color for this Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.

One of Golf Digest's "Best Places to Play" and South Carolina's 2015 Golf Course of the Year, this cohabitation of beauty and beast (at times) is poised for even more acclaim.

With 81 holes of championship golf at three prestigious clubs, the Heritage Golf Collection on Hilton Head Island delivers the Lowcountry’s premier golf experience.

The Heritage Golf Collection’s award-winning courses offer everything you need for a South Carolina golf getaway, whether you’re an expert golfer or brand new to the game.
