Hilton Head Island is Golf Heaven - and the Ocean Too
Hilton Head Island is Golf Heaven - and the Ocean Too
Mark Ridgway, Hilton Head Island Golf Professional
Imagine, 42 square miles of golf and surf
Hilton Head Island is appropriately called Golf Island.
Located just off the coast of South Carolina, the semi-
tropical 12-mile barrier island is devoted to providing
world-class golf, tennis or water-recreation activities to
the 2.5 million visitors who arrive annually. The majority
are seniors, who faithfully return each year during the
balmy winter months.
Hilton Head Island was the first eco-planned destination in
the United States, in the mid-1950s. Those early efforts to
protect the unique, scenic ecosystem have served as historic
models for contemporary land-use planning. Any visitor today
encounters the same fertile salt marshes, forests of moss-
draped oaks, and pristine beaches enjoyed by the island’s
early settlers.
Golf Island’s total devotion to pleasing travelers didn’t
just happen on its own. It was painstakingly designed to
create a first-class resort and recreational mecca. The
island is warmed by the Gulf Stream (how about the golf
stream?), which keeps average temperatures about 70 degrees.
That assures a year-round golf season, with a million rounds
of golf played annually in Hilton Head, SC.
Let’s Talk some Serious Golf
There are 24 golf courses on the Hilton Head Island (10 of
them private). Some of these are world-class championship
courses (hosting major tournaments like the Heritage and the
Celebrity Golf Tournament). And if that’s not enough choices
for you, there’s easy access to another 40 courses
conveniently reached off the island, in the Hilton Head, SC
area.
But don’t feel like you’ve got to be an outstanding golfer
to get the most enjoyment out of the available courses.
Facilities exist for every skill level. And the Golf
Coordinator at Hilton Head Rentals & Golf can match your own
personal style and skills to the best courses for you.
The range of packages offered keeps golfing holidays
affordable. There’s no such thing as a charge for a golf
cart. They’re always included, along with guaranteed tee
times and green fees.
Tennis also provides another major attraction for tourists.
Tennis lovers can enjoy over 300 tennis courts, along with
an abundance of tennis training professionals and
tournaments.
No Interest in Golf or Tennis? There’s still the Ocean
Start with twelve miles of sandy, year-around beaches that
overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Add eight marinas. You’re ready for fishing and water sports. For a person
hankering for something more strenuous than sightseeing, waterskiing, windsurfing, scuba diving,and crabbing beckon. Or just try stretching out on the sand. There’s a lot to be said for doing nothing but soaking up the sun and sand - as much as you can.
Capturing Memorable Experiences
A person can’t play golf or tennis (or even fish) all the
time - no matter how pleasant. So relaxation-seeking
visitors are enticed by a huge selection of enjoyable
amusements or cultural events. Start with the island’s 250
plus restaurants that cater to every taste, ethnic cuisine,
and price range. And don’t overlook the array of freshly
caught seafood.
You’re looking for a total experience, much like a symphony.
All the parts (lodging, recreation, quality of service,
dining) merge harmoniously together - without a single sour
note. That’s what every visitor stores up and takes back
home, once the vacation is over.
Enjoy a Symphony of Pleasures
If you’re expecting the finest "symphony" of experiences,
where you choose to stay needs to be just as unforgettable
as the island’s first-rate recreational offerings.
Accommodations can be found to match every taste and price
range.
Choose from:
- 6,000 villas
- 3,000 hotel or motel rooms
- 1,000 timeshare units
- 2 RV resorts
- 1 Campground (off-island)
But if you really want to pamper yourself, start at Hilton
Head Rentals & Golf, with over 250 premier Hilton Head
condos, villas and homes for rent on the island.
Picture this. You’re waking up with your sweetie beside you,
languidly looking forward to a day on the golf course. And
not just any golf course - a legendary one. You can smell
the ocean, without even seeing it. You’ll do that later,
after your leisurely breakfast on the verandah. There’s not
a thing that needs doing, except figuring out what amusement
takes your fancy - and where you want to dine. No need to
rush. Remember you’re on holiday. One you won’t soon forget.
