Opened in 1987, the Country Club of Hilton Head is a Rees Jones design that has earned high marks throughout the Hilton Head golfing establishment, as well as throughout the national golfing community, as the course was a local qualifying course for the 2005 U.S. Open.
The nearly 7,000-yard course reaches a slope rating of 132 from the tips, but is playable for most levels of golfer. Elevated greens, pot bunkers as well as the Intracoastal Waterway present challenges for players.
"The forward tees don't provide much in the way of driving obstacles, but in several instances, gold or even blue tee players will have to fire their ball through a tree-lined chute to find the fairway", said TravelGolf.com writer Joel Zuckerman.
