Hilton Head New Year's golf packages will send you strolling into 2007By S. Adam Cardais, Looking to spend the rowdiest night of the year somewhere a little more low-key, where you can sit back and relax as 2007? Hilton Head Island is a great spot for a slowed-down New Year's Eve. Hilton Head combines great golf and dining with the relaxing atmosphere of a quiet southeastern coastal town - one that hasn't changed much in the last 50 years.
"The place has a timeless feel; it didn't even have electricity until 1951 and its second golf club until 1967," Tim McDonald wrote in a TravelGolf.com overview of Hilton Head's best courses. For New Year's, it's a wonderful place to get away from it all. This year, packager Hilton Head Golf Travel is offering two deals that will have you making the transition to 2007 in style, staying at a beautiful hotel just minutes from the beach and playing some of the Southeast's finest golf courses. Three nights at the Beachwalk Hotel: You'll get three nights at this newly renovated hotel, within walking distance of public beaches, miles of bike paths, shopping and many of Hilton Head's best restaurants, plus rounds at Crescent Pointe Golf Club, Eagle's Pointe Golf Club and Hilton Head National. The package is available until Feb. 28 and costs $259 a person, including taxes and green and cart fees. Four nights at Beachwalk Hotel: Supplement the package above with an extra night and an additional round, at Old South Golf Links. This deal also runs through Feb. 28 and costs $339 a person, including taxes and green and cart fees. Call (866) 870-4653 to book either package or click here for an online quote.
