Fun Course in Excellent Condition
I have played this course several times. Each time I play the course, I always leave having a great experience and love the course and the great conditions. Staff was great from the moment we arrived. Friendly staff taking our bags an loading them on carts. Starter was very helpful, and friendly explaining everything about course and the GPS on the carts.
Practice range is not great at all. You have to hit of mats at the range and cannot hit from the grass. No short game practice area other than a putting green. I would expect a higher end course like this would have a grass area to hit range balls.
Due to COVID-19, the course has plenty of coolers and ice to put on the carts, but to get a cooler with ice you have to request one. They no longer automatically put a cooler, ice as well as towels on each cart. Whey you pay over $100 per round you would expect to at least have a cooler with ice, especially when the temperature was 95 degrees with high humidity. Thank goodness the beverage cart person was great and we saw the beverage cart five times during the round.
The course, as always, was in very good condition. Typically of Robert Trent Jones courses, there are lots of large, deep bunkers. The greens are very large and it is easy to three putt if you are not near the hole. The greens have lots of humps, slopes and undulations.
The course is always very well taken care of. The best and also the signature hole is hole #10 where you have a excellent view of the ocean while on the green. The course provides a variety of fun and challenges. All in all, it is a great course and lots of fun.

HHI getaway post quarantine
Played the Palmetto - Jones course today. It was in very good shape after being aerated mid-May. It’s a good course for $100, not gimmicky or cheap. The staff was very courteous and appreciative.

Doug Weaver - Best Golf Coach!
My daughter is a strong contender for any sport she plays, yet recently she decided to hang up the idea of playing D1 college basketball to instead follow her raw passion and excitement for golf. By good fortune, I was able to book a lesson for myself with Doug Weaver at Palmetto Trent Jones and realized within minutes that he'd be a fantastic coach for my Sophomore aged daughter. He and Kendall hit it off immediately and tonight as we sadly packed up to head home, she wrote her own personal text to him saying how he has completed changed and improved her game for the better. She shared about how important the tools he provided her will be to her to get to the next level and I cannot agree with her more.
He explains everything with such ease and confidence, he references books to show you ideas and concepts, he encourages you to relax, take a 8-second breath, leverage your hips and thighs, tips on tricky bunker shots, and how to hit them long and straight. He records his comments on your phone, videos you, improves your grip, the list goes on and on. Nothing isn't covered if you book enough time with him, you will improve and it will be so much more fun and easy than you'd ever thought!
On top of that, the food at Big Jim's is fantastic too! I highly recommend the breakfast burrito or Arnold Palmer drinks.
The course is very pretty and a beautiful backdrop to this amazing island that we really, really wish we didn't have to leave to head back home from!
Doug, you're a truly fantastic coach to both my daughter and me! We will definitely be back and hope to show you how much we improved when we do!

Golf
Robert Trent Jones is an excellent golf course. One of my favorites on the island. Anytime I have gone there I am always greeted by the most friendly staff. Inside and out, Robert Trent Jones has stupendous employees which is a key part in creating such an outstanding experience. I look foward to playing the other 2 courses eventually, however i still believe Robert Trent Jones is my favorite.

Great Golf Pro - Trent Jones
My group had the good fortune of meeting Doug Weaver @ Trent Jones. By far the best lessons I’ve ever received. Doug made it easy to translate his teachings into actionable movements. We immediately benefited from the lessons during our 7 fun filled days of golf at Trent Jones and other surrounding courses.
As a coach, I appreciate a coach that reinforces the fundamentals that make golf FUN. If you want to learn from the best, I strongly recommend Doug Weaver.
Thank you Coach!

Excellent Golf Instructor
My husband and I have been visiting Hilton Head for years. I love to play tennis and he likes golf. I have taken lessons before at Palmetto Dunesin golf but no one's approach seemed to help---until this yea!. I met a young golf pro by the name of Mason Carmel who was patient, encouraging, knowledgeable, respectful and in 3 lessons had me actually doing well at the game. He used visual images to teach, and at the end of each lesson video taped me while emphazing what had been taught that day. He then texted me that video and outlined what I needed to practice.
I heartily endorse this young man if you want to take lessons that really help.
We had to leave early this year because of the virus, but I am already looking forward to having more lessons next year.
I also commend the pro shop for having the foresight to hire someone who has fresh ideas, an appreciation of the fact that everyone is different, and who has the ability to recognize strengths of that individual and build on those strengths.
Well done, Trent Jones golf.

Great place to play
They were really friendly and were very good about social distancing. Michael Decker and Joe had wiped everything down for us so we didn't have to touch anything. Also the cups were up so no one had to touch the flags and you could get your ball easily. Thanks for an amazing round on a beautiful course.
