Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Dunes

4-PLUS: Must play course - excellent standard; worthy of 4½ stars.

Est. 1988

Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Dunes: For many local golfers this is considered the best of the three excellent Palmetto Dunes' courses, especially if you are looking for a fairly tough examination of your overall game.

The predominantly tree-lined fairways have been built over a series of sand dunes (although not quite at the ocean's edge), which create plenty of undulations and rolling fairways.

Don't expect too much room off the tee, at least not on most of the holes. The par-4 12th, with water flanking the entire right side of the fairway, and the dog-legging par-4 17th with its pencil thin landing area from the tee, are just two highlights amongst a wonderfully sculpted collection of golf holes. With excellent maintenance standards and many natural features, this is one of the "must play" courses of Hilton Head.
