Frequently Asked Questions

How challenging is the Arthur Hills course at Palmetto Dunes for a mid-handicapper?

This course offers a fair test, especially with its numerous lagoon hazards. You'll need to be precise with your irons and think strategically on many holes, but it's not overly punishing if you play smart. We found it to be a rewarding challenge without being frustrating.

What's the standout feature of the Arthur Hills course that makes it unique on Hilton Head?

The course truly shines with its integration of 10 holes winding around the resort's extensive lagoons. These water features aren't just pretty-they demand strategic shot placement and add a thrilling element to nearly half your round. You'll definitely remember those water carries.

When is the best time of year to play Arthur Hills for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We highly recommend visiting in late fall (October-November) or early spring (March-April). The weather is typically fantastic-mild temperatures and less humidity-and you'll avoid the peak summer tourist rush, leading to a more relaxed pace of play. Book your tee time in advance, especially for weekend mornings.

Is playing the Arthur Hills course worth the greens fee compared to other Hilton Head options?

Absolutely, we think it offers excellent value for a resort course on Hilton Head. You're paying for a meticulously maintained Arthur Hills design with stunning lagoon views and a truly enjoyable round. Consider their twilight rates or package deals for even better savings.

What should I know about course conditions or specific equipment before playing Arthur Hills?

Expect pristine conditions, especially the greens, which can be quick and undulating. We suggest bringing extra golf balls, as those lagoons are hungry, and perhaps a rangefinder to accurately gauge distances over water. Don't forget bug spray if you're playing early or late in the day, especially in warmer months.
