How this is calculated
Course Handicap = Handicap Index × (Slope ÷ 113) + (Course Rating − Par), rounded to a whole number. For example, a 14.2 index on the Gold tees (71.9 / 138, par 72) is 14.2 × 138 ÷ 113 + (71.9 − 72) = 17.2, which rounds to 17. Some formats and events apply a percentage allowance on top of this number, so check your event’s rules.

The Private Side of Sea Pines
Sea Pines Country Club is a private, member-owned club inside Sea Pines Plantation on Hilton Head Island, built by Arnold Palmer and Frank Duane and renovated by Clyde Johnston in 2001. For the island’s other courses, see the full Hilton Head golf courses directory.
About Sea Pines Country Club
Sea Pines Country Club is Sea Pines Plantation’s private club course, distinct from the resort’s three public golf courses — Harbour Town Golf Links, Atlantic Dunes, and Heron Point. Arnold Palmer and Frank Duane originally designed the course in 1973; architect Clyde Johnston led a full renovation of the tees, greens, and irrigation that reopened in October 2001, with additional practice-facility work by Phil Smith in 2019. Narrow, tree-lined fairways and water on 16 of the 18 holes echo the demanding, tightly routed style of neighboring Harbour Town.

Sea Pines Country Club Reviews
The reviews are mostly about the club rather than the Arnold Palmer and Frank Duane course — the pools, gardens, tennis and pickleball, the renovated bar, and staff who learn members' names and preferences. On the golf itself the sample is thin: one reviewer calls it short but fair, another says the quality and the view are what set it apart. Treat this as a members' club impression, not a green-fee review.
