Robert Trent Jones Course
Readers of Golfweek magazine consider the Robert Trent Jones Course at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort to be one of the best golf courses in the Southeast. The course was extensively renovated in 2002 at a cost of $3 million. The renovation work, led by longtime Jones protégé Roger Rulewich, involved reshaping and restructuring tees, greens and bunkers. Fairways were elevated and reshaped, and the course's natural drainage was improved by linking it with the resort's unique, 11-mile lagoon system.
Today, the lagoon system winds its way through 11 of the course's 18 holes. When the renovation was completed, the Jones Oceanfront Course was named the 2003 Golf Course of the Year by the South Carolina Board of Directors of the National Golf Course Owners Association.
The signature hole of the Jones course, the par-five 10th, offers a spectacular view of the ocean. In fact, it's one of only two oceanfront holes on all of Hilton Head Island. The course is so beautiful and so challenging that it was selected to host the second round of play in the 27th Annual Hilton Head Island Celebrity Golf Tournament. The Jones Oceanfront Course plays 6,122 yards from the middle white tees.

Arthur Hills Golf Course
The Arthur Hills Course at Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort takes full advantage of the natural beauty of the South Carolina Sea Islands. The course design blends the topographic beauty of the Lowcountry with the inherent challenges of the game to produce a unique golfing experience.
Because it was built on a series of rolling dunes, the Hills course presents many opportunities for off-balance lies. A continual ocean breeze adds yet another element of challenge to the game. And, finally, 10 holes on the water encourage precision play.
