Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort: Come and Stay A While

Popular among locals and snowbirds alike, award-winning Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head Island is now offering its “Monthly Stay & Resort Golf Memberships”

(HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.) — What’s not to love about South Carolina and the Palmetto State’s crown jewel, Hilton Head Island?

Snowbirds looking for Florida-type, year-round golfing weather and a wide variety of playing options without all the driving have long enjoyed Hilton Head and its own, mid-island crown jewel, the Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort.

For more than a half-century, vacationers from across the globe have flocked to Palmetto Dunes to enjoy the resort’s three miles of wide Atlantic Ocean beach and countless amenities, highlighted by PD’s sterling trio of world-class golf courses designed by legends of the industry: The renowned Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront Course; the Arthur Hills Course, where collegiate stars like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson honed their talents; and the George Fazio Course, designed by the former PGA Tour player, with construction work headed by his nephew, famed architect Tom Fazio. In the past decade alone, all three courses have been honored as South Carolina’s Golf Course of the Year.

The area certainly earns its stripes. Among the latest accolades and commendations, South Carolina placed No. 4 in GOLF Magazine/Golf.com’s 2015 ranking of the most golf-rich states in America. http://www.golf.com/golf-gold/united-states-golf-every-state-union-ranked-its-golfiness

Not to be outdone, the 2015 Condé Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice Awards ranked Hilton Head No. 7 “Best Island in the U.S.,” and HHI was also named by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO) as the 2016 “Golf Destination of the Year for North America.” http://www.iagto.com/awards/index

In the same Condé Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice Awards, Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort on Hilton Head jumped four spots to the No. 9 “Best Resorts in the South.” http://www.cntraveler.com/readers-choice-awards/2015/united-states/top-resorts-in-the-south-readers-choice-awards-2015

In addition, the three Palmetto Dunes golf courses were again included in Golfweek’s 2016 “Best Resort Courses,” while Palmetto Dunes Director of Instruction Doug Weaver was named 2015-2016 Golf Digest #2 Best PGA Teacher in South Carolina. http://www.golfdigest.com/story/the-best-teachers-in-your-state-2015-2016
