Hilton Head Golf Resorts
Golf lodging on Hilton Head: rooms beside the Harbour Town and Shipyard courses, stays that include greens fees, and Palmetto Dunes resorts.
Stay beside the course
These properties sit on or next to a course, so the first tee is a short walk or cart ride from the room.
Sea Pines’ 60-room hotel beside Harbour Town Golf Links, the course that hosts the RBC Heritage. Reviewers say a round is a short walk from the room.
A Marriott Vacation Club resort by the marina and the lighthouse, next to the 18th hole of Harbour Town Golf Links.
A Marriott Vacation Club resort within walking distance of the yacht basin, the lighthouse and Harbour Town Golf Links.
Two- and three-bedroom townhomes backing onto the Galleon nine at Shipyard Golf Club.
Two-bedroom townhomes on the lagoons and fairways of Shipyard’s Brigantine nine.
Cottages on cul-de-sacs off Valencia Road in Shipyard, most with golf or lagoon views.
Stays that include greens fees
Two Shipyard villa resorts bundle golf into a direct booking, and one resort sells it as an add-on. Cart fees are extra in every case.
Book directly with Hilton Head Accommodations and the stay comes with greens fees for up to four players a day at Shipyard Golf Club, plus two bikes and an hour of tennis court time for four. Cart fees are extra.
Booked directly with Hilton Head Accommodations, the stay includes greens fees for up to four players a day at Shipyard, Port Royal, Palmetto Hall and Oyster Reef, plus two bikes and an hour of tennis court time. Cart fees are extra.
Three-bedroom villas in Port Royal that sleep up to eight. The resort sells an optional sports package that covers daily golf at five championship courses, tennis and pickleball.
Oceanfront resorts in the golf neighborhoods
These resorts have no course on the property. They sit in the same resort area as public courses, which makes the golf a short drive.
Oceanfront in Palmetto Dunes, home to the Robert Trent Jones Oceanfront, Arthur Hills and George Fazio courses.
An oceanfront resort inside the Shipyard gate, with golf and tennis next door.
Beachfront in the Port Royal resort area, where the Barony and Robber’s Row courses are.
Plan the golf
Courses, tee-time deals and the RBC Heritage.
Reading the golf perks
Golf perks at a resort depend on who is booking. The Spinnaker Resorts greens-fee benefit applies when you book directly with Hilton Head Accommodations. At the Palmera resorts (Port O’Call, Coral Reef, Coral Sands and Island Links) the cart-fee-only golf is an owner benefit, so a nightly renter should not count on it.
None of the courses named above require you to stay at a resort. Harbour Town, Shipyard, the Palmetto Dunes courses and the Port Royal courses are public, so any stay on the island can book a tee time. See all Hilton Head golf courses for the full list, or the full resorts list if golf is only part of the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Hilton Head resorts are on a golf course?
The Inn & Club at Harbour Town is beside Harbour Town Golf Links, and Marriott’s Heritage Club is next to its 18th hole. In Shipyard, The Carolina Club backs onto the Galleon nine and Spinnaker at Shipyard sits on the Brigantine nine at Shipyard Golf Club.
Which Hilton Head resorts include greens fees?
Spinnaker at Shipyard and Southwind II include greens fees for up to four players a day when you book directly with Hilton Head Accommodations; cart fees are extra. Royal Dunes sells an optional sports package that covers daily golf at five championship courses.
Do I have to stay at a resort to play its golf course?
Not at the courses on this page. Harbour Town Golf Links, Shipyard Golf Club, the Palmetto Dunes courses and the Port Royal courses are all public. A resort stay changes where you sleep and, at a few resorts, what you pay, not whether you can book a tee time.
Do the Palmera resorts include golf?
For owners, yes: they pay only cart fees for a foursome at Shipyard Golf Club and Port Royal. That is an owner benefit, so check with the resort before assuming it applies to a nightly rental.
Where do I book tee times for Harbour Town?
See the Harbour Town Golf Links page for booking and course details, and golf deals for discounted tee times.
