George Fazio

Having appeared on Golf Digest's list of America's 100 best, the George Fazio Course offers a stimulating challenge to avid golfers. With only two par-5s, the heart of the course lies in a series of long par-4s, beginning with the 432-yard first hole and ending with the 462-yard 18th. The fairways are open and roll gently on the front nine, while the back nine becomes tighter and more severe, demanding good position off the tee. The tree lined fairways often provide generous landing zones, are gently rolling and are laced with the occasional sand trap. The layout is known for its long par fours - with 8 of them measuring over 400 yards from the tips. The 462 yard par four 18th is widely recognized as the island's truest championship challenge.

There is no range on property here, but golfers can warm up with "birdie balls" - limited flight balls in a convenient practice area near the first tee. This is the only par 70 course on Hilton Head Island, and features 51 soft sand bunkers along the landing zones or greenside, with 9 holes having water in play in some shape or form.
