The Shrimp Boat Playground in Downtown Bluffton
During your next visit to Hilton Head Island, take an afternoon off from the beach or the river and explore downtown Bluffton. With its family friendly children’s stores like Wild Whisper to lunch on the roof at Captain Woody’s to eclectic finds at nearby galleries and shops, Old Town Bluffton is a great way to spend an afternoon.
Five Stand-Out Holes Among Hilton Head Island’s Golf Greats
It’s painfully difficult to pick just five par-5 holes in the area where nearly every course is a must-play, but one has to start somewhere on Hilton Head Island and nearby Bluffton.
I tossed in a couple no-brainers, but also asked a couple golf experts for their picks–the head golf pro at the Country Club of Hilton Head, plus a rabid golfer who gleefully travels here every year.
Inside the new harbour town clubhouse
With the help of many, The Sea Pines Resort transformed the legendary Harbour Town Clubhouse into an iconic landmark. In this case “new” really is just better. The 1969-vintage Harbour Town Golf Links Clubhouse was wonderful in its time, and still fine for most of us when visiting Hilton Head Island’s premier golf venue. But the new clubhouse, built on the same footprint, but with a third level and all the amenities for today’s golfer and vacationer, is waaaaay better, even though one of its primary goals was to preserve the traditions of old-style southern living. I could write for weeks on the gorgeous new $26-million facility, but truly, these pictures are worth more than a thousand words each, and have made the clubhouse Hilton Head’s newest great tourist attraction. And in a feat of Herculean proportions, it was finished between the end of last year’s RBC Heritage and this year’s.
RBC Heritage: Harbour Town Golf Links Beloved by the Players and the Fans
This year, the PGA TOUR’s RBC Heritage returns to its rightful spot on the schedule the week after the Masters, April 12-18, at famed Harbour Town Golf Links at The Sea Pines Resort.
And suffice it to say, players in the field for the 53rd edition of one of the TOUR’s most popular events – including World No. 1 and defending Masters champion Dustin Johnson – are breathing a collective sigh of relief.
Hilton head restaurant brings preservation to the plate
When it comes to ordering oysters, the world is literally, well, your oyster. There’s the more well-known ones like Apalachicola, Bluepoint, Gulf Coast, Kumamoto, Malpeque and Shinnecock. And then there are the more exotic ones like Beausoleil, Forbidden, Hama Hama and Naked Cowboy. Each one of these scrumptious bivalves has its own flavor profile based on the water it was harvested in. Take our local oysters. Like our Lowcountry estuaries (and maybe our locals), our oysters are categorized as briny yet sweet.
