Featured Golf Itinerary: Hilton Head’s ‘Off-Island Gems’ Offer Ample Golf Buddy Trip Options
Savvy golf group leaders know how to chase the prime weather each spring to maximize their crew’s time on the course. This is especially true for golf buddy trips, which hinge heavily on 36-hole-a-day itineraries.
Hilton Head Island, located near South Carolina’s southernmost point, obliges with March and April temperatures up to 10 degrees warmer than other parts of the state. And spring unofficially gets underway in late February, as Eastern redbud, cherry and dogwood trees start to bloom.
Time is also of the essence when planning a golf trip, and that’s where Golf Island’s “off-island” courses come into to play. Situated in Bluffton along the U.S. 278 corridor connecting I-95 with Hilton Head, this collection of oft-overlooked layouts offers convenience and value while serving up strong design pedigree.
