Palmetto Dunes – Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course

Three of Hilton Head Island's Premier Championship Golf Courses and More!

The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course, has been rated by readers of Golfweek Magazine among the best courses in the Southeast. Its signature hole, the dramatic par-five 10th, offers sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and is widely considered one of the most spectacular holes in the United States. One of only two oceanfront holes on Hilton Head Island, the course’s legendary 10th delights golfers of every skill level. The Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses, an Audubon International program, has designated the course a "Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary" for its commitment to providing a sanctuary for wildlife. Additionally, the Jones course has been named "Golf Course of the Year" by the South Carolina Golf Course Owners Association and has been the recipient of a host of other awards and accolades.

An extensive renovation of the Jones Oceanfront Course involved reshaping and restructuring tees, greens and bunkers. Workers also improved natural drainage with the addition of part of the unique, 11-mile lagoon system that weaves its way through and around all three golf courses. Adding a set of junior or “short course” tees to the Jones Oceanfront Course’s layout enabled the resort to launch the Palmetto Dunes Junior Golf Academy and underscored Greenwood’s commitment to the next generation of golfers. The Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course plays 7,005 yards from the gold tees.

Palmetto Dunes is the first resort in the southeast to introduce Toptracer Range, the ball-tracing technology used on televised golf tournaments to track the shots of the game’s best players. This high-tech driving range located at the Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course features 15 covered outdoor bays with high speed cameras and TV monitors allowing guests to compete against friends, play virtual courses and receive instant shot feedback.
