Robert Trent Jones

The wide-open fairways and ample greens make this course a pleasure to play. A lagoon system winds its way through 11 of the course's 18 holes, providing aesthetic beauty and challenge. Holes number10 and 11 play towards and from the ocean, providing wonderful views of the Atlantic on each. Golfers will encounter fairways bordered by trees and extensive mounding that often frame penal sand bunkers. Swales and mounding greenside also create the need for accurate iron play. Besides the signature par five 10th, our favorite holes were the beautiful par four third with an approach over water, the par three 8th with a tee shot over water to a green defined by a wood retaining wall, and the par four 13th which presents a formidable carry over water from the back tees.

There are four regular sets of tee boxes that play from distances and slopes measuring 7005 yards/138 slope, 6570 yards/131 slope, 6122 yards/ 122 slope and 5035 yards with a slope of 109 from the forward sets. Uniquely, the Jones Course also provides a Junior set of tees, that play to 2625 yards. This is one of the most gorgeous and challenging layouts on Hilton Head Island. This is one of Mark's must plays.
