The fairways are plush while the greens are very fast. Very nice driving range and putting green. The golf carts all have GPS which delivers accurate yardage to the pin as well as can track your score. It also limits where you can drive on the course. The beverage cart person came around frequently which was great. Cart path only on all par 3s as well as hole 6 which is a par 4. The staff was very helpful and friendly. While we had to wait for the group ahead of us for most of the round, we still finished in 4.5 hrs. As a Gary Player course, it's not very long, but does have some nice undulations and perfectly placed hazards. The fairways are quite open. I think the only ball I lost was when I hit into the water. Otherwise the course plays very true and would be a great course for someone just learning to play golf.

I wanted to play Harbour Town bc the pros play a PGA Tournament here. However, the price ($552 b4…read moretaxes), and a mandatory $40 tip for a fore caddie is a real downer. In addition, I rented clubs ($75 plus tax), plus the resort fee ($9 plus tax), and there was a $9 entrance fee to the resort. My all in was over $700! I have played the nicest courses in CA (Pebble & Spyglass), as well as the nicest courses in Hawai'i where the pros play (Kapalua, Hualalai, et al), and I don't recall those courses costing as much as HT. Positives: Ian, our caddie was excellent. He knew the course well, gave good distance info and read putts well. I had a few opps for birdie bc of his accurate distance. On me tho, I only converted one birdie. Negatives: In addition to the sky high price, HT is not that special of a course. The sig holes are nice, but not that nice IMHO; Cart path only for the whole course, so you will get your steps in! I enjoyed my day bc my playing partners were nice and Ian was a great caddie. However, I would not play here again.

This year's family vacation led us to Hilton Head Island and Palmetto Dunes Resort. The condo was…read morevery nice with a great kitchen and amazing showers. I think the unit was recently remodeled. Private beach access was a short walk. The pool was clean and offered a separate kiddie pool. Unfortunately, the hot tub was closed for repairs. We took advantage of the nice gazebo area with 3 gas grills and a gas firepit. The beach was not crowded at all. Only had one day of rain. Palmetto Dunes is safe, secure, very clean, and family friendly.

Plus, the beach proximity of our rental was easy - less than a city block. The property easily housed my party of 7 as expected. There was ample hot water, the air conditioning worked well, the keyless entry operated as expected, the kitchen dishware and cookware were sufficient and most of the house was generally clean. A few things were merely irritating: - The sliding glass door that connects the master bedroom to the patio does not work. A physical effort and a noisy rocking motion will open it enough for a thin person to slide out sideways. Once I got this back closed we did not use it again; - The curtains on those sliding glass doors are very VERY sheer. Effectively they are see-through. Anything happening in that master bedroom is shared with any guests on the patio; - The black patio chairs are peeling some kind of substance -- possibly old paint. Whatever that stuff is, it's almost impossible to get it off your legs. One thing was grossly unacceptable: a non-working freezer. Imagine 7 days in the summer at an ~$8,000/week LUXURY rental with a non-working basic appliance! No advance warning. Infuriating is that fact that the owners KNEW this. I know that they knew because there is a small card on one of the kitchen walls, warning the renter that the freezer is slow to freeze after a new guest enters and that 24-48 hours ought to be given. Well, it did not freeze in the entire week. Spoiled food, zero ice, etc. An AI search suggested I ought to be due some compensation and per my description, suggested $150 to $400 per day depending on whether the owner provided an interim solution, such as a cooler with ice or a secondary freezer. After some email correspondence and conversations, the property manager (Demetrea Thomas) refunded $550. In total. She told me the owners had placed an auxiliary freezer in the kitchen (and apparently my party of SEVEN - none of us blind) all missed it for 7 days. When I disputed this absurd assertion, she promised to credit me more if she can verify that in fact there was no auxiliary freezer. I asked her for a photo of it. Dishonesty, rottenness and possibly criminal Well, Demetrea DID send me a photo. The photo showed a refrigerator/freezer combo standing right there in the dining room, beneath a light green wall tapestry. Thankfully, among the various pictures taken by my family was one showing that very wall with the green tapestry. It is quite apparent that there is no 5' tall stainless steel appliance standing there. I shared this with Demetrea on July 7. Not a peep from her and I presume I shall not. Not sure who is more rotten - the owners of 167 Mooring, the owners of Palmetto Dunes, or the property manager Demetrea Thomas.

The courses are not cheap, I paid $150 in February when the course is not really green yet, but the greens themselves were in great shape. The carts have GPS and that is very helpful.

To be clear, if you are a better golfer, this place could be just what you want. Being a 90's shooter on a visit to HH, I like something a bit more on the easy side.
