Golf
- The fairways of Bluffton offer spectacular Lowcountry views
of expansive sea marshes, moss-draped live oaks and breathtaking
water views of the Colleton, Okatie and May Rivers. Public courses
include: Crescent Pointe Golf Club, Eagle's Pointe Golf Club,
Hilton Head National Golf Club, Island West Golf Club, Old South
Golf Links, and the Rose Hill Golf Club. |

When
not golfing on one of Hilton Head's famous courses, or shopping
the distinctive boutiques, many spend their days basking in
sunshine and ocean breezes, strolling on the nearby peaceful
beaches of Hilton Head Island and catching waves in the Atlantic.
Located
in Sea Pines, Hilton Head's #1 landmark, the Harbour Town Lighthouse,
brings people to the surrounding marina and shopping center
to admire the docked yachts and browse the eclectic local stores.
Boat tours, such as the popular dolphin cruise departing from
the marina, give guests an opportunity to view native wildlife,
nearby islands and learn about the history of the area. |
