Hilton Head Island, South Carolina | 18 holes | Par: 72 | 6919 yards
The Country Club of Hilton Head, opened in 1987, is a Rees Jones design that has earned high marks throughout the Hilton Head golfing establishment, as well as the national golfing community. It was a local qualifying course for the 2005 U.S. Open.
The nearly 7,000-yard course reaches a slope rating of 132 from the tips, but it is playable for golfers of most levels. Elevated greens and pot bunkers, as well as the Intracoastal Waterway, present challenges for players.
"The forward tees don't provide much in the way of driving obstacles, but in several instances, gold- or even blue-tee players will have to fire their ball through a tree-lined chute to find the fairway," wrote TravelGolf.com's Joel Zuckerman.
