Frequently Asked Questions

Is the oceanfront 10th hole at Robert Trent Jones really as iconic as everyone says?

Absolutely, it's the star of the show and a truly memorable par-5. You'll find yourself pausing to take in the Atlantic views, but don't let the beauty distract you from the challenge of the approach shot. It's a fantastic photo op and a genuine highlight of your round.

When's the best time of year to play the Robert Trent Jones course for the best experience?

We always recommend the shoulder seasons-late spring or early fall-for ideal conditions. You'll avoid the peak summer heat and humidity, and the course will be in pristine shape without the heaviest crowds. Plus, the rates are often a bit more forgiving then.

How challenging is the Robert Trent Jones course for a mid-handicapper?

It's a fair test, but definitely playable for a mid-handicapper if you choose the right tees. The course features plenty of water and strategically placed bunkers, so you'll need to be precise with your irons. Don't be afraid to lay up on some holes; smart course management is key here.

What's the best way to book a tee time and what should I expect for costs at Robert Trent Jones?

We advise booking well in advance, especially during peak season, directly through the Palmetto Dunes website or by phone. Expect dynamic pricing, so flexibility with your tee time can sometimes save you a few dollars. Look into their multi-round packages if you're planning to play other Palmetto Dunes courses-they often offer good value.

What unique features should I look out for while playing the Robert Trent Jones course?

Beyond the stunning ocean views, keep an eye out for the abundant wildlife-you're almost guaranteed to spot some alligators sunning themselves near the lagoons. The course also features some impressive elevation changes for a coastal track, which adds a unique dimension to your shots and views.
