With just two par fives on the course, Fazio has designed a layout that's heavily populated with par fours, including the 462-yard No. 18 hole, which will take two well-hit and placed shots to have a birdie attempt.
Originally opened in 1974, the Fazio course at Palmetto Dunes Resort underwent a major renovation in 1994, helping to create a course that is consistently in excellent condition and as challenging a test for golfers in Hilton Head.
With just two par fives on the course, Fazio has designed a layout that's heavily populated with par fours, including the 462-yard No. 18 hole, which will take two well-hit and placed shots to have a birdie attempt.
