About

Hilton Head Island’s only par-70 public golf course, the George Fazio course was just named the 2014 South Carolina Golf Course of the Year by the SC Golf Course Owners Association. The layout offers an exhilarating experience and is revered as the island’s truest championship challenge. For beginners and advanced players, the Fazio course offers an exceptional golf experience. One of the youngest golf courses to be featured on Golf Digest’s list of America’s 100 Best, the par-70 layout continues to offer stimulating challenges. With only two par 5s, the heart of the course lies in a series of long par 4s, beginning with the 432-yard first hole and ending with the 462-yard 18th. The tree-l

Another great round at Fazio! Spent another long weekend in Palmetto Dunes, and had a great time playing the George Fazio golf course in Palmetto Dunes. George was helpful in the pro shop getting us started and was happy to help if we needed anything. As far as conditions of the course the greens were in phenomenal shape! Best we played all weekend. Jessah greeted us with a smile after our round and enjoyed some cold beverages on the back porch watching some other groups finish. Great time had by all. Be back soon!

Great Layout, Poor Condition This could be an awesome course when it is in good condition. When we played in April it was scorched. The greens were great, though. Some of the best we played on during our time in Hilton Head. The layout is challenging and the setting is delightful. The staff is friendly and the pace of play was very good.

Business Response:

Very professional customer service. My friends and I had an amazing day yesterday at Fazio. Things got teed off right at the clubhouse with Chris who was extremely polite, informative and helpful! After a great round with just a touch of rain we were promptly met and taken care of, with clubs cleaned and delivered to our cars. Next time we all get back together, I know where we’ll be playing.

Fazio is fun, fair and staff is amazing Played twice and enjoyed both rounds. First impression, the guys meet and greet you and take your bag to the carts... Everyone seems happy to see you at their venue. The Palmetto courses offer military, including retired military, a 40% discount, if you book one day ahead, so I took advantage of that opportunity. We had a lot of rain but this course drains amazingly so it was in excellent shape except for some standing water on the cart paths. Carts were GPS equipped, had spots to charge your phone and had bluetooth for music, if you wish. Water comes into play on five holes with three that require carrying the water including a par three on 17, that requires about 150 to carry. Greens were in excellent shape and rolled true, but slow due to the recent rain. All but a few of the 40 or so bunkers were in great shape. Red tailed hawks, gators, egrets and herons were easily seen throughout the course. Some holes on the course are lined by homes but they only come into play if you really shank the ball. Bottom line, play this course... it's fun, fair, a good value and the staff seems to love what they do. There are numerous ways to get a discount, and if you do, use some of that savings to take care of the staff. Small clubhouse, but both mornings the breakfast sandwich was tasty and a quick turnaround and nice relaxed area to sit outside if you wish, but no view of 9 or 18. OPPPS... if you REQUIRE a driving RANGE, they stop by either the arthurs hills or Trent jones course to warm up... they have a putting area and small warmup with fake golf balls here so that's a downer for some.

Amazing course to play! Fabulous course, great greens and beautiful scenery on waterway. Excellent shape and condition! Mick in the pro shop really went out of his way to accommodate my group. He even scheduled a shuttle to take us to the beach resort restaurant! Definitely coming back.

Nice layout/conditions underwhelming We decided to checkout the Fazio Course in Palmetto Dunes, as our rental backed up to the 2nd tee box. Benefit was my young son was able to come say hi before we tees of on #2. Overall, we really enjoyed the layout and was certainly a challenging course. However, the course conditions were underwhelming for a $113 rate. Clumps of grass clippings all over the course in the rough. Greens were SLOW since they leave the type of grass longer in the summer heat. I would imagine that the course plays much tougher when the greens are mowed to a proper height. Additionally, didn’t see a ranger once to keep pace of play. Had 2 groups of 4 in front of us, playing a scramble, that were so beyond drunk, it Took FOREVER. Front 9 was about 2:15 to get around. Back took well over 3 hours. First group had an entire hole open in front of them, then the second group was nearly 2 holes behind them! Understand we are mostly all on vacation, but it should never take this long. Surprised to see this course had higher course/slope ratings than the RTJ track, which I though played much tougher.
