Hilton Head Lakes offers a nice blend of challenging play and natural beauty The course makes full use of the community's natural wetlands and water bodies, featuring generous fairways with approach shots to angled greens requiring a bit more precision than meets the eye.  Stretching to 7,300 yards from the back tees, Hilton Head Lakes presents a formidable challenge for even the most seasoned players, yet it remains approachable for newcomers, offering a fair test of skill without being overly punitive. The wide range of tees ensures that every golfer can find their sweet spot, making it a course that can be enjoyed repeatedly.  Adding to the appeal is the expansive 36-acre practice facility, one of the largest in the region. It includes a par-3 short course, multiple practice greens, bunkers, and target greens, providing an excellent space for golfers to hone their skills before taking on the main course.

Signature Holes:

• Hole 5: This par-4 features a dogleg left around a significant water hazard, challenging golfers to decide between cutting the corner or playing it safe down the fairway.
• Hole 8: A picturesque par-3 over water, with a well-bunkered green that demands precision. The green's undulating surface adds to the complexity of this beautiful hole.
• Hole 13: A long par-5 that plays along the edge of the wetlands. The fairway narrows near the landing zone, requiring accuracy off the tee, while the approach shot must navigate strategically placed bunkers.
• Hole 17: This par-4 is a true test of strategy with a split fairway. Players can opt for the safer route to the right or take on the more challenging left side, which offers a better angle to the green but brings the water hazard into play.
